It's another tough blow in what's been a frustrating season for Zegras, as this most recent injury puts him on track to return in late February at the earliest. He previously missed almost six weeks with a lower-body injury he suffered on November 7th, and endured a slow start to his season prior to that. He has just four goals and three assists in 20 games on the year.
It's unclear whether this is just a depth move or if Rondbjerg has a legitimate chance of playing in Thursday's game against the Bruins. The right winger has one goal and two assists in six games with the Golden Knights this season.
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.
Robertson was recalled for the first time in his career due to a few question marks in the Rangers' lineup but was not need and has been reassigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL). The 22-year-old will return to Hartford, where he had two goals, 11 assists, 14 PIMs and a -2 plus/minus in 30 games prior to his call up.
Heineman has yet to pick up a point in any of the four games he's appeared in in 2023-24 but will be a healthy scratch Thursday vs. San Jose as Rafeal Harvey-Pinard returns from injury. The 22-year-old has averaged only 9:57 TOI in the games he has appeared in, picking up a +2 plus/minus while playing a complimentary role.
Harvey-Pinard has been out since November 14th due to a lower-body injury but will return to the Canadiens' lineup Thursday as he replaces Emil Heineman. The 25-year-old Sophomore had yet to score in 13 games before his injury, but had four assists, 11 SOG, two PIMs and a +1 plus/minus.
Cederqvist was Buffalo's 2019 fifth round pick (143rd overall) but has been acquired Thursday from Montreal for future considerations from the Sabres. The 23-year-old will provide Laval (AHL) some much needed offensive depth after he had a goal, three assists, 11 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus in 19 games played with Rochester (AHL).
Foudy hasn't appeared in 2023-24 due to a lower-body injury but was finally activated off the Injured Non-Roster list Thursday and has been assigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL). The 21-year-old is Colorado's 2020 3rd round pick (75th overall) and appeared in nine games as a rookie for the Avalanche in 2022-23, but failed to pick up a point.
Wagner has yet to appear in 2023-24 for either of Colorado's organizations due to a ruptured Achilles in the offseason but has been reassigned to the Colorado Eagles (AHL) after being activated off the injured Non-Roster list Thursday. The 32-year-old has appeared in one NHL game in each of the last two seasons but will need to spend some time in the minors to get his footing back.
Sandin, originally out with an illness, has not played since January 2nd and is now on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. Sandin has five points (0G / 5A) in his last five games, most recently skating alongside Ethan Bear.
Oesterle was a healthy scratch on Tuesday but will re-enter the lineup on Thursday as Yan Kuznetsov will be a healthy scratch. Oesterle has two points (0G / 2A), 14 shots, and 19 hits while averaging 14:16 time-on-ice through 14 games this season.
Kuznetsov made his NHL debut on Tuesday but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday, allowing Jordan Oesterle to draw back into the lineup. In his debut, Kuznetsov recorded two shots on goal and a -1 plus/minus in 11:58 time-on-ice.
Markstrom's strong performance on Tuesday, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%), helped the Flames snap a two-game losing streak and will return to the crease on Thursday. Since returning from a fractured finger injury last month, Markstrom has quietly drawn together a solid stretch of play, posting a stellar .931 SV% in eight games (5-3-0). The Flames are -122 road favourites on Thursday against the Arizona Coyotes, who snapped a three-game losing streak in their last contest with a 4-3 overtime victory over the Boston Bruins.
With Linus Ullmark out of the lineup due to a lower-body injury, the Bruins net will belong to Swayman, starting tonight with a matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. Swayman entered Tuesday's game in relief of Linus Ullmark and was put into a difficult position, allowing the game-winning goal on the first shot he faced in overtime. Swayman is winless in his last three (0-1-2), posting an ugly .861 SV% in the process. The Bruins are -128 road favourites on Thursday against the Golden Knights, who were shutout 3-0 by the Colorado Avalanche last night.
In only his third game after returning from the World Junior Tournament, Poitras exited Wednesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes after playing only 8:34 time-on-ice with a shoulder injury. Poitras has been held without a shot on goal in three games but has two points (0G / 2A).
