Saville's recall casts some doubt on the status of both Logan Thompson (illness) and Adin Hill (undisclosed) for Thursday's game against the Bruins. Saville could very well get the start on Thursday if both are unable to go, considering Jiri Patera got the nod in Wednesday's 3-0 defeat in Colorado. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.
Cormier made his NHL debut on January 6th and appeared in two games, collecting one assist, for the Golden Knights before being reassigned to Henderson (AHL) on Thursday. The 21-year-old retunes to the Silver Knights, where he had a goal, 11 assists, and 20 PIMs in 27 games prior to his promotion.
Korczak's stay with Henderson (AHL) was very brief after he was recalled Thursday for Lukas Cormier after a five game showing with the Silver Knights. Korczak has impressed when called upon for the Golden Knights this season, with one goal, six assists, 16 SOG, and a +7 plus/minus through 15 games played.
The 28-year-old Hagg has spent the entirety of this season with the San Diego Gulls of the AHL, scoring four points (1G / 3A) in 22 games. He will make his season debut with the Ducks on Thursday skating on the third defensive pair with Ilya Lyubushkin.
After being confirmed to start earlier in the day, Hill was a surprise late scratch for Wednesday's game in Colorado, as it appears he's still not ready to return from his undisclosed injury. His next chance to return to the crease will be tomorrow night when the Golden Knights host the Bruins.
Korczak has not played since December 10th due to a lower-body injury and has been reassigned to the Henderson Silver Knights, where he has three points (0G / 3A) in five games this season. After re-acclimating himself to game speed in the AHL, he will likely find himself with the Golden Knights before long.
Just one week after clearing waivers and being assigned to the Marlies (AHL), the Maple Leafs reversed their transaction, reassigning Dennis Hildeby to the Marlies. Samsonov's reassignment to the Marlies was originally intended so that he could re-find his form, but given that he did not make it into any game action in the AHL, it is unclear if the Maple Leafs have recalled him because they intend him to play or so that Hildeby can get some game-action before being recalled again. In any event, the Maple Leafs will be rolling with Martin Jones and Ilya Samsonov as their goaltending tandem for the time being.
Hagg has earned his first call up of the season to the Ducks from San Diego (AHL) after collecting a goal, four points, 16 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus in 22 games to start the season. The 28-year-old shutdown defensemen appeared in 38 games with the Red Wings in 2022-23, picking up seven points (2G/5A) and 26 PIMs.
Hill has made one appearance (Dec 17th) since November 30th due to an undisclosed injury but is expected to travel with Vegas on their upcoming road trip to Colorado and has a chance to start Wednesday if he is feeling good to go. The 27-year-old Stanley Cup Champion was enjoying a Vezina worthy start to the season as he had a 10-2-2 record, 1.93 GAA and .933 SV% prior to his injury.
Olofsson did not play for the Sabres on Saturday and was absent from practice on Monday due to an illness. He has only four goals and eight assists in 31 games this season.
Hill participated in his first full practice since suffering an undisclosed injury on December 17th, suggesting his return to the lineup is on the immediate horizon. Hill returned to action on December 17th after a two-week absence from an injury but was not able to finish that contest and has been out of the lineup since.
Olofsson is expected to skate alongside Peyton Krebs and Zemgus Girgensons on the Sabres' fourth line. He has four goals and eight assists in 30 games this season.
The Golden Knights recalled Denisenko on Thursday and he skated on a line with Michael Amadio and Brett Howden at practice, signalling he could make his season debut on Thursday. in 31 games with the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL, Denisenko has 30 points (12G / 18A) and 26 penalty minutes.
Karlsson will miss at least the next two games as he tends to a lower-body injury. He played 18:36 time-on-ice in the Golden Knights 3-0 loss at the hands of the Seattle Kraken at the Winter Classic on Monday. Karlsson was previously occupying the center-ice position on the third line between Paul Cotter and Michael Amadio.
Mayo had three goals, five assists, 18 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus in 30 games to start the season with Henderson (AHL) but has earned his first call-up of the season Monday to Vegas. The 27-year-old appeared in 15 games with Arizona in 2022-23 but failed to pick up a point while collecting eight PIMs in a lowly 11:41 TOI/GP.
Samsonov cleared waivers and has been loaned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL) as he tries to recover his game. The 26-year-old who carries a $3.5 million cap hit heads to the AHL for the first time since 2020-21 where he appeared in four games with the Hershey Bears. Samsonov was waived originally by Toronto due to his poor 5-2-6 record, 3.94 GAA and .862 SV%.
