With Jordan Staal sidelined indefinitely with a concussion, the Hurricanes have brought Di Giuseppe back from the AHL. Di Giuseppe failed to record a point in 11 games with the Hurricanes earlier this season, but played well in Charlotte, collecting seven points (2G / 5A) in eight games.
Miller had to get stitches on his knee after being hit by a Mats Zuccerello shot on Sunday. Rangers’ head coach Alain Vigneault said it is a 50/50 chance that Miller will be in the lineup on Tuesday. If he can’t play, Oscar Lindberg will get back into the lineup.
Di Giuseppe, 23, has failed to pick up a point in 11 games with Carolina this season, so he heads back to Charlotte to work on his game. The former second round pick (38th overall in 2012) had 18 points (8G / 10A) in 25 AHL games a season ago.
Myers has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury, but will return to the Jets’ line tonight vs. the Stars. Myers, who has two goals in eight games, will skate on the second pairing with Tobias Enstrom and should also see some power-play time on the second unit.
Myers has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury and his move to IR opened up a roster spot for Nic Petan to be recalled. It also means that he will not be in the lineup in Detroit on Friday.
Heinen failed to record a point in seven games with the Bruins. Heinen played in the top-6 with regularity, but could produce offensively. With David Pastrnak ready to return from suspension, the Bruins will roll with Austin Czarnik instead of Heinen.
Myers was a late scratch from Sunday’s game and will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. Mark Stuart will not play either, so Julian Melchiori has been recalled from Manitoba (AHL).
Miller missed Tuesday’s practice but was on the ice for the morning skate and will be in the lineup on Wednesday. Miller had one goal and seven shots after being moved into the top-6 because of Chris Kreider’s injury. He makes for a solid daily choice tonight vs. the Bruins.
Heinen has yet to record a point in four games with the Bruins this season and tonight he will come out of the lineup and Ryan Spooner will be back in.
Miller, 23, was the 15th overall pick in 2011 and his breakout season was long awaited. Miller finally broke through in 2015-16 after posting just 33 points (15G / 18A) in 114 games over his first three seasons. Miller scored 22 goals with 21 assists (43 points) last season and figures to take steps forward as a member of the Rangers’ top-6 in 2016-17.
Forbort, 24, was the 15th overall pick in 2010 and cracked the NHL roster in 2015-16. He spent the majority of the year with Ontario (AHL), collecting 10 points and 40 PIMS in 40 games, but he dressed in 14 contests with the Kings where he had one goal and one assist. Forbort will look to crack the Kings roster in training camp this Fall.
Di Giuseppe, 22, has split his time between Carolina and Charlotte this season. In 18 games with the Hurricanes he has eight points (3G / 5A) and 18 points (8G / 10A) in 25 AHL games.
Ferland is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will come out of the lineup on Sunday. With Ferland out, Lance Bouma will return to the lineup in Ferland’s spot.
Di Giuseppe, 22, has eight points (3G / 5A) in 14 games with the Hurricanes this season. During his time in Charlotte, the former second round pick has 16 points (7G / 9A) in 22 games. He is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday.
Forbort had one goal and one assist in 14 games with the Kings during his call up. After the Kings acquired Luke Schenn on Wednesday, Forbort was reassigned to Ontario. He had no points in two games with the Reign earlier in the year.
