Carlsson, 21, has picked up seven points (1G / 6A) in 18 games with Cleveland this season. The 2015 first-round pick (No.29 overall) has just three assists in 17 career NHL games.
Mangiapane has had a nice season in Stockton. He is currently tied for second on the team in goals (7) and tied for fifth in points (14) despite playing in just 13 of 21 games. Mangiapane has not suited up for the Flames this season but has 10 career NHL games under his belt.
Strome, who was acquired from the Coyotes on Sunday night, will make his Blackhawks debut vs. the Golden Knights. Strome had just six points (3G / 3A) in 20 games before being traded. He will start on the fourth line and second power-play unit tonight.
Chychrun has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but he will play in his second game of the season tonight. Chychrun was a minus-2 with three shots while playing 20:39 TOI in his season debut in Detroit.
Oshie was hurt late in Wednesday’s game in Winnipeg and he will not play Friday in Colorado. With Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov out, players from Washington’s third line (Burakovsky—Eller—Connolly) will have to take on a larger role.
Carlsson is expected to see some time as the Blue Jackets No.6 defenseman at some point this season. Carlsson has picked up one goal and five assists (six points) in 12 games with Cleveland this season.
Chychrun made his season debut on Tuesday but is already out of the lineup with a new injury. Chychrun is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, making him questionable for Saturday’s game vs. the Bruins as well.
Oshie was forced to leave Monday’s game in Winnipeg after a heavy collision in the corner with Jets’ defenseman Josh Morrissey. Oshie’s head was driven to the ice after the hit and he came up a bit woozy. Oshie has four reported concussions in his career, so the Capitals will be very cautious with the winger. Oshie is questionable at the very least for Friday’s game in Colorado.
Hagelin has recorded just three points (1G / 2A) in 16 games this season, despite playing exclusively with Evgeni Malkin. Hagelin brings a lot of speed to the Kings lineup and trading away Pearson with three years left on his deal, will open up $3.75M this offseason.

Chychrun missed the first 16 games of the season, but will play Tuesday in Detroit. The 20-year-old defenseman had a solid rookie season, picking up 14 points (4G / 10A) in 50 games.
Wilson has already missed the first 16 games of the season, so he is eligible to return tonight in Minnesota. Wilson had a career-high 14 goals, 21 assists and 35 points in 78 games last season.
van Riemsdyk was scratched in favour of Haydn Fleury on Saturday, but will replace Brett Pesce (lower-body) tonight. van Riemsdyk was a minus-3 in 14:42 TOI against his former team last Thursday and has just three assists and 19 shots in 14 games this season.
Carlson is battling a lower-body injury and the Capitals announced that they’ve recalled Jonas Siegenthaler to replace him tonight. Carlson is day-to-day and questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Coyotes.
