Vlasic (undisclosed) is expected to return to the Sharks lineup on Saturday.

Vlasic took to the ice for Friday’s practice and declared himself “100 percent” which suggests that he will play for the first time since January 2nd when the Sharks host the Coyotes tonight. Vlasic could see more minutes than usual with Erik Karlsson potentially not playing due to a lower-body issue.

White (shoulder) returns to the Senators lineup on Friday.

White has missed the last five games with a shoulder injury but will play Friday in Pittsburgh. White, who has 11 goals and 15 assists (26 points) in 44 games, will centre the second-line with Brady Tkachuk and Mark Stone on his wings.

White (shoulder) thinks he will play Friday.

White missed the final five games before the All-Star break but said he’s almost 100 percent sure that he will play on Friday. The Senators went 2-3-0 without White, who has 11 goals and 15 assists (26 points) in 44 games this season.

The Kings have acquired Carl Grundstrom, the rights to Sean Durzi and a 2019 first-round pick from the Maple Leafs for Jake Muzzin.

Grundstrom was one of the Maple Leafs’ top prospects and has been enjoying a quality campaign with the Marlies, scoring 13 goals with 16 assists (29 points) in 42 games. Grundstrom, a former second-round pick, plays a physical two-way game but doesn’t project to be much of a high-end scorer at the NHL-level.

Georgiev will start Tuesday vs. the Flyers.

Georgiev allowed seven goals on 40 shots in the Rangers loss in Columbus back on January 13th. The 22-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 1.89 GAA, .931 SV% and one shutout on home-ice this season and will get the start tonight to give All-Star Henrik Lundqvist a breather. Georgiev is 2-9-0 with a 3.66 GAA and .883 SV% during his 11 games with Hartford (AHL) this year.

The Rangers have assigned Alexandar Georgiev to Hartford (AHL).

The Rangers have one more game (Saturday) before their bye week meets the All-Star break, so Georgiev will go to the AHL to get some work in. Georgiev has gone 2-6-0 with a 3.30 GAA and .890 SV% in his previous eight games with Hartford while doing this dance.

Georgiev will start Sunday in Columbus.

Georgiev stopped 24 of 25 shots in the Rangers win over the Islanders on Saturday afternoon. Georgiev will start for the second straight day as Henrik Lundqvist gets a “mental break.” Despite stout outing yesterday, Georgiev has gone 3-6-0 with a 3.76 GAA and .890 SV% on the road this season.

Georgiev will start Tuesday in Vegas.

Georgiev stopped all eight shots that he faced after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers loss in Arizona on Sunday. Georgiev has not registered a win since December 18th, allowing a combined 11 goals on 97 shots (.887 SV%) in four appearances. He comes into Tuesday’s game at 2-5-0 with a 4.27 GAA and .881 SV% on the road.

Georgiev will start Friday in Colorado.

Georgiev allowed one goal on seven shots after replacing Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers’ 7-2 loss to the Penguins on Wednesday. The 22-year-old hasn’t play often this season (nine starts, two relief appearances) but comes into Friday at 5-5-0 with a 3.22 GAA and .898 SV%. Tonight he takes on an Avalanche team that has cooled off recently, losing six in a row and 10 of their last 12 (2-7-3).

Georgiev will start against the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

Georgiev stopped 14 of 15 shots in the Rangers win over the Ducks on Tuesday. It was easy night for Georgiev, who will have a much more difficult matchup tonight against the Maple Leafs. Georgiev has gone 2-3-0 with a 4.28 GAA and .877 SV% on the road this season and should be left on the waiver wire tonight.
