Sundqvist, 22, has 40 points (17G / 23A) in 55 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. He has yet to record a point in for NHL games, but has four points (1G / 3A) in 22 career NHL games.




Parayko missed Saturday’s game vs. the Islanders, but will return tonight in Los Angeles. Parayko has registered 30 points (4G / 26A) in 66 games this season and should be active in all formats.


Parayko left last night’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return. Parayko left after playing 13:31 and should be considered a game-time decision for tonight’s game.

Buchnevich went down for one game and scored two goals, so he comes back with Jesper Fast out for a few weeks. He could draw into the lineup in Boston on Thursday.

Buchnevich has been a healthy scratch for the last three games and was sent to Hartford this afternoon to create a roster spot to add Brendan Smith from Detroit today. Buchnevich has had a really inconsistent season and has had his play fall off a lot recently.




Buchnevich has just one assist in his last 10 games and head coach Alian Vigneault called his play “so-so” and that will lead to him being replaced by Matt Puempel on Thursday.

Bjugstad has missed the last nine games with a groin injury, but will return to centre the Panthers’ fourth line on Thursday. Bjugstad has had a tough season, posting just two points (1G / 1A) in 21 games so far. His production has fallen off immensely since his breakout 2014-15 campaign.



Buchnevich has been out since November 12th, but will return to the lineup tonight after a brief three-game conditioning stint with Hartford (AHL). Buchnevich had one goal and one assist during those three games and returns to the Rangers, where he has eight points (4G / 4A) in 10 games this season.
