Poturalski was recalled prior to Tuesday's game, which was postponed, and then sent back on Wednesday. That was likely just a paper transaction, so look for the AHL leading point scorer to make his season debut on Thursday.




Poturalski was an undrafted free agent out of the University of New Hampshire and has had a lengthy AHL career. He has played 322 career AHL games since 2016 and is currently leading the league with 34 points (12G / 22A) in 23 games with Chicago. He should make his season debut on Tuesday with Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis placed in COVID-19 protocol on Monday.



Toffoli will be out until at least early February, which means we likely won't see him until after the Olympic break. Look for Artturi Lehkonen to continue to play up the lineup while Toffoli is out. It may also mean an extended look at 2018 second-round pick, Jesse Ylonen.



Toffoli was missing from Monday's practice session and head coach Dominique Ducharme said he's expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Laurent Dauphin was recalled from the AHL to try and help replace Toffoli.

Toffoli missed Monday's practice due to an upper-body injury and is expected to be re-evaluated ahead of Tuesday's game vs. the Lightning. For now, consider him day-to-day and expect a more detailed update later Monday or on Tuesday.
