Seattle Kraken News
Goalie Start
Grubauer will start Sunday vs. the Blues.
The Canadiens signed Gustav Olofsson to a one-year, two-way contract.
Olofsson spent most of the 2019-20 season in the AHL, where he racked up 16 points (1G / 15A) in 57 games with Laval. He failed to record a point in three games with Montreal. The 25-year-old blueliner has 11 assists in 59 career NHL games with the Wild and Canadiens.
The Sabres signed Brandon Biro to a two-year entry-level contract on March 18th.
Biro was an undrafted free agent who just finished up his senior year at Penn State University, where he had 25 points (10G / 15A) in 25 games. Biro will likely join Rochester (AHL) when the NHL and AHL return to play, whether it be for the 2020 or 2021 season.
Stephenson (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Stephenson was scratched Monday in Edmonton and was re-evaluated upon their return to Vegas and will be a game-time decision Thursday in Minnesota.
Line Change
Stephenson will be scratched Monday in Edmonton.
Burakovsky (lower-body) did not travel to Vancouver.
The Avalanche start a three-game road trip Friday in Vancouver but Burakovsky did not join the team for the star of the trip. This isn't that surprising since Colorado already said that he would likely miss a few more games but head coach Jared Bednar said he could join the team at some point.
Burakovsky (lower-body) is expected to miss a few more games.
Burakovsky did not come out for Colorado's morning skate and will not play tonight vs. the Ducks. Head coach Jared Bednar expects him to miss a few more games, so don't expect to see him Friday in Vancouver or Sunday in San Jose. Vladislav Namestnikov will remain on the top line with Burakovsky out.
Kempny will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
This will be the first time that Kempny is a healthy scratch in 2020 and he will be replaced by Radko Gudas, who was a healthy scratch on Sunday. Kempny has just one assist while playing 18:50 ATOI in his last 20 games.
Burakovsky (lower-body) remains day-to-day; will not play on Monday.
Burakovsky will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury and head coach Jared Bednar called him "day-to-day." With Burakovsky out, Vladislav Namestnikov is expected to be on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon.
Line Change
Burakovsky will be scratched on Saturday.
McCann is on the ice for warmups; will return to the Penguins lineup on Friday.
Burakovsky (illness) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play in Carolina.
McCann (upper-body) will be a game-time decision Friday in Anaheim.
Burakovsky (illness) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
Burakovsky has missed the last two games with an illness but head coach Jared Bednar said that Burakovsky "could play tonight" in Carolina. Burakovsky has been excellent in the last month and a half, posting 20 points (7G / 13A) in his last 17 games.
The Lightning recalled Mitchell Stephens from Syracuse (AHL).
Stephens has split his 2020 campaign between the NHL and AHL, posting five points (2G / 3A) in 33 NHL games and 10 points (5G / 5A) in 24 AHL games. He could draw back into the Lightning lineup on Thursday with Steven Stamkos (undisclosed) out.
McCann (upper-body) will not play on Wednesday.
Burakovsky (illness) is doubtful to play Wednesday.
Burakovsky is expected to miss his second straight game with an illness. Burakovsky was on the ice in a non-contact jersey on Tuesday but is not expected to play vs. the Sabres. With Burakovsky out, Valeri Nichushkin is expected to skate on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon.
Grubauer is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
Goalie Start
Grubauer will start on Saturday against the Kings.
