Carson Soucy is expected to miss one month with an upper-body injury, so Belpedio comes up and will likely serve as the seventh defenseman on Sunday. The 23-year-old has not appeared in an NHL game this season but has two assists in three career NHL games. He's also picked up five goals and 13 assists (18 points) in 55 AHL games this season.
Frost appeared in the last two games, failing to record a point in 13:00 ATOI but will be scratched tonight with Joel Farabee returning from an illness. If he's going to sit, Frost will likely be sent back to Lehigh Valley (AHL).
Farabee missed the last three games with an illness but will replace Morgan Frost tonight vs. the Islanders. Farabee will be back on the second line with Kevin Hayes and Travis Konecny and has four goals with two assists in his last six games.
Seeler had one assist in 15:19 TOI in his Blackhawks debut on Sunday but will be replaced by Adam Boqvist, who returns from a shoulder injury.
Farabee, who will miss his third straight game, skated in the morning skate on Monday but will get one more day off. Head coach Alain Vigneault expects him to be back in the lineup tomorrow against the Islanders.
Seeler was recently claimed off of waivers from the Wild and will replace Adam Boqvist, who is day-to-day with a shoulder injury. Seeler has 11 points (2G / 9A) in 99 career NHL games (all with Minnesota).
With Joel Farabee sidelined with an illness, the Flyers are looking to Frost to inject some offence into their middle-6. Frost, who had seven points in 18 games with the Flyers earlier in the year, has tallied eight goals with 12 assists (20 points) in 30 AHL games this season.
Following the trade of Jack Campbell to the Maple Leafs, Petersen makes his return to the NHL. Petersen appeared in 11 NHL games last year, going 5-4-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .924 SV%. He hasn't had the same level of success in the AHL this year, going 17-15-4 with a 3.43 GAA and .906 SV%. Tonight he'll make his season debut vs. a Devils team that is on a five-game point streak, going 2-0-3 over that span.
Farabee reportedly lost a lot of weight while battling illness, so the Flyers will give him a few more days to build back up some strength. Scott Laughton moved into the Flyers' top-6 in Friday's practice to replace Farabee.
Farabee missed Wednesday's practice and will miss Thursday's game vs. the Devils. This is a tough break for Farabee, who had scored four goals with two assists and 12 shots in his last six games. Andy Andreoff was recalled from the AHL to take his place on the roster.
There is no indication what Poehling is dealing with but a flu bug has been going through the Habs room, so it could be that. Consider Poehling a game-time decision and monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 6:30 PM ET.
Following the trade of Jack Campbell to the Maple Leafs, Petersen was recalled to be the Kings' new No.2 netminder. The 25-year-old is a former fifth-round pick (2013) who has gone 17-15-4 with a 3.43 GAA and .906 SV% in 37 AHL games this season. In a brief run with the Kings last year, Petersen was 5-4-1 with a 2.61 GAA and .924 SV%.
Seeler was a fifth-round pick in 2011 and has appeared in 99 games with the Wild since. The 26-year-old failed to record a point in six games this season and heads to Chicago to help their blueline that lost Brent Seabrook and Calvin de Haan.
