Line Change
Sedlak will be back in the Blue Jackets lineup on Tuesday.
Sedlak has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Oliver Bjorkstrand in the lineup on Tuesday. Sedlak has just one assist and is averaging 8:25 TOI/GM in 10 games this season.
Hathaway will make his season debut on Saturday.
Konecny (foot) is expected to be in the Flyers lineup on Saturday afternoon.
Konecny left Friday’s practice after being hit by an Ivan Provorov shot, but said that he expects to play this afternoon vs. the Golden Knights. Konecny has just one assist and a minus-4 rating in four games this season.
Konecny (lower-body) left Friday’s practice and is questionable for Saturday’s game.
Konecny took an Ivan Provorov shot off of his foot in practice and hobbled off of the ice on Friday morning. This clouds Konecny’s status for Saturday’s game vs. the Golden Knights. If Konecny doesn’t play, the Flyers will be without two of their second line forwards with Nolan Patrick out for at least one week with an upper-body injury.
Sanheim (shoulder) is expected to be back next week.
Sanheim is dealing with a minor shoulder injury that he suffered last weekend. The Flyers are keeping their young defenseman off of the ice for one-week as precaution, but expect him back next week. The 22-year-old defenseman is expected to play on the Flyers’ third-pairing this season after posting 10 points (2G / 8A) in 49 games with them last season.
The Predators have signed Ryan Ellis to an eight-year extension worth $50M ($6.25M AAV).
The Flames re-signed Garnet Hathaway to a one-year contract worth $850K.
The Wild have re-signed Nick Seeler to a three-year deal worth $2.175M ($725K AAV).
Seeler was a fifth-round pick (No.131 overall) in 2011 and made it to the NHL last season. After three years in the NCAA and a year and a half in the AHL, Seeler picked up four assists in 22 games with the Wild last year. The 25-year-old is expected to be on the Wild’s third pairing to start the 2019 season.
The Flyers select Joel Farabee with the No.14 overall pick.
Farabee is known as a high-character 200-foot player. He served as the captain of the U.S. National U-18 team and scored 33 goals with 43 assists (76 points) in 62 games while playing on a line with Oliver Wahlstrom and projected 2019 No.1 overall pick Jack Hughes. Farabee creates offence with his great speed and compares favourably to Blues’ forward Brayden Schenn.
Couturier (lower-body) will play in Game 5.
Couturier (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 5.
Couturier (lower-body) will not play in Game 4.
Couturier (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 4.
Johnson will miss six weeks with a fractured patella.
Sedlak is out indefinitely with an undisclosed injury.
Seeler is expected to be back in the Wild’s lineup on Monday.
Seeler was a healthy scratch in Arizona on Saturday but is expected to draw back in tonight vs. the Kings. Seeler has just two assists with a plus-6 and 11 PIMS in 13 games with the Wild this season.
Johnson (shoulder) will play vs. Detroit for the first time since February 18th.
Seeler (biceps) will return to the Wild lineup on Tuesday.
Seeler has missed the last three games with a biceps injury, but will replace Gustav Olofsson tonight vs. the Avalanche. The 6-foot-2, 200 lbs. defenseman has picked up two assists in 11 games since being recalled from Iowa (AHL).
Sanheim has been recalled from Lehigh Valley (AHL) and will play on Saturday.
Sanheim, 21, has picked up one goal and 15 assists (16 points) in 18 games with the Phantoms this season. Today he will play his first NHL game since January 13th and comes up with five points (1G / 4A) and a minus-10 rating in 35 NHL games.
