With Jansen Harkins going onto the COVID-19 protocol list this morning, Perfetti will suit up in Colorado. Perfetti did not register a point in two NHL games earlier in the season but had 15 points (6G / 9A) in 17 AHL games before departing for the World Juniors.

Both DeMelo and Jansen Harkins entered COVID-19 protocol this morning, so Cole Perfetti and Nathan Beaulieu will draw into the lineup on Thursday.

On the same day that the Kings got Dustin Brown out of COVID-19 protocol, they lost Iafallo. In Wednesday's practice, Martin Frk skated on the Kings' top line in Iafallo's absence. Iaffalo will likely miss one or two games.

Just when the Canucks thought they were in the clear, Di Giuseppe and Brock Boeser tested positive and will miss Wednesday's game vs. the Ducks. Di Giuseppe was set to be a healthy scratch anyways.

Miller suffered an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's practice session and will not be available for Wednesday's game. Ethan Prow is expected to make his NHL debut with Miller out.

Miller has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Robert Hagg on Thursday. Hagg is month-to-month with a lower-body injury, so Miller should remain in the lineup moving forward. Miller has 10 points (2G / 8A) in 26 games this season.

This call-up has been on the radar for quite some time and the Jets recently waived Riley Nash to create room for the 21-year-old centre. Gustafsson was a second-round pick in 2018 and has scored seven goals with nine assists (16 points) in 23 AHL games this season. He should be a fixture in the Jets' bottom-6 moving forward.
