The Rangers have re-signed Kaapo Kakko to a two-year contract worth $4.2 million ($2.1M AAV).
The Kraken have signed John Hayden to a one-year, two-way contract.
Hayden had just two goals and two assists in 55 games with the Sabres in 2022. In his six-year career, the 27-year-old has never played more than 54 games and has a career-high of four goals and 13 points. Heading to Seattle, he should fill out a fourth-line role for the Kraken but they have the flexibility to send him down with the two-way contract.
The Kraken have signed Ryan Winterton to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Winterton was a third-round pick of the Kraken in the 2021 NHL Draft. The 6-foot-2, 190 lbs. centre had 20 goals with 26 assists (46 points) in 37 games with the Hamilton Bulldogs (OHL) this season. He also excelled in the playoffs, finishing 10th with 19 points (7G / 12A) in 18 games as Hamilton won the Championship.
The Kraken have signed Jacob Melanson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Melanson was a fifth-round pick of the Kraken in the 2021 NHL Draft. The 19-year-old winger finished second on Acadie-Bathurst (QMJHL) in gold (35) and third in points (56) in 54 games in 2022.
The Kraken have signed Shane Wright to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Stars have signed Mason Marchment to a four-year contract worth $18.0 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Maple Leafs have acquired Matt Murray, 2023 3rd round pick and a 2024 7th round pick from the Senators for future considerations.
Marchment (undisclosed) is doubtful to play in Game 1 vs. the Lightning.
Marchment missed the last two games of the Panthers series vs. the Capitals and will likely miss Game 1 vs. the Lightning. Noel Acciari will skate on the Panthers' third line with Marchment unavailable.
Marchment (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Game 5.
Marchment was not on the ice for Wednesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision for Game 5 vs. the Capitals. Maxim Mamin skated in Marchment's spot on the third line and figures to replace him if he's not available.
The Kraken have signed Max McCormick to a two-year, two-way contract extension.
Lindgren (lower-body) will be a game-time decision in Game 4.
Lindgren missed Game 3 with a lower-body injury but will be a game-time decision for Game 4 in Pittsburgh. The Rangers may go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen if Lindgren is available.
The Kraken have signed Peetro Seppala to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Lindgren (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for Game 3 in Pittsburgh.
Lindgren (lower-body) is questionable to play in Game 3.
Lindgren left Game 1 briefly before finishing the game with 28:44 TOI. He was scratched for Game 2 and his status for Game 3 in Pittsburgh is unclear. Justin Braun will remain in the lineup if Lindgren can't play.
Lindgren (undisclosed) will not play in Game 2.
Lindgren (lower-body) is probable for Game 2 vs. the Penguins.
Lindgren left Game 1 but returned later and finished the game. Head coach Gerard Gallant said that he's "banged up" but will "probably" play in Game 2.
Marchment (undisclosed) will play in Game 1 vs. the Capitals.
Marchment missed the final three games of the regular season, presumably to nurse some bumps and bruises ahead of their first-round matchup with the Capitals. Marchment burst onto the scene in 2022, scoring 18 goals with 29 assists (47 points) in 54 games.
Line Change
Lindgren is expected to be back in the Rangers lineup on Friday.
Lindgren scratched on Wednesday but was back on the ice for Friday's morning skate and is expected to play on Friday. Lindgren has not scored a goal since January 8th, posting just eight assists over 44 games.
Goalie Start
Grubauer led the Kraken onto the ice for warmups.
