Moser was a second-round pick in this summer's NHL draft and is set to make his NHL debut after just 18 AHL games. The 21-year-old defenseman has tallied five goals and seven assists (12 points) with Tucson and will be the fifth Coyote to make his NHL debut this season.

Johansson was placed on waivers because Pavel Francouz returned to the Avalanche over the weekend. Johansson has posted a 3.89 GAA and .880 SV% in six games this season and will be the Panthers' No.3 netminder moving forward.

Gourde will miss Saturday's game vs. the Blue Jackets after being placed in COVID-19 protocol. Alexander True was recalled from the AHL to take Gourde's spot on the roster.

Cirelli is not on the ice for warmups in Ottawa, so he will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Ross Colton will remain on the second line with Cirelli out.

The Lightning initially called Cernak day-to-day but was downgraded on Friday afternoon. Don't expect to see Cernak back until after the Christmas break. Zach Bogosian should continue to skate in the top-4 while Cernak is out.

Schmidt was a third-round pick (No.96 overall) in this summer's NHL Draft. The former USNDT player is now in the OHL and has picked up 11 points (6G / 5A) in 22 games on the Kitchener Rangers' blueline.

Cirelli picked up an injury vs. the Canadiens on Tuesday and missed Thursday's morning skate. Head coach Jon Cooper called Cirelli a game-time decision and they will need him vs. the Maple Leafs.

Cernak is battling a lower-body injury and will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Head coach Jon Cooper said that Cernak is closer to day-to-day than week-to-week, so don't expect him to be out for an extended period of time.
