The Hurricanes were busy on trade deadline day to they had to make some room and they did so by moving Dougie Hamilton to LTIR. To help make up for the loss of Hamilton and most recently Brett Pesce, the Hurricanes used the cap space to acquired Brady Skjei and Sami Vatanen.


Gudbranson has been out for the last eight games and the updated timetable suggests he'll miss at least seven more. Brendan Guhle has been bumped into a top-4 role.

Fowler has missed the last three games but will likely miss at least seven more games. With Fowler out Michael Del Zotto has been playing over 20 minutes per game and seeing second power-play unit time.

Sending Lindstrom makes him eligible to play in the AHL playoffs, which is where the Red Wings will want him once the NHL season is over. He could be recalled before Tuesday's game but Cody Goloubef is also expected to make his Red Wings debut.

Cernak suffered a lower-body injury in Arizona on Saturday but head coach Jon Cooper said he could play as soon as Tuesday. Monitor his status during the morning skate but the Lightning can't afford to have him miss a pivotal game while they're already without Ryan McDonagh and Jan Rutta.

Rutta has already missed the last nine games and will likely miss at least seven more. The Lightning went out and added Zach Bogosian on Sunday, so he'll fill in for Rutta moving forward.

Clutterbuck has been out since December 19th after undergoing wrist surgery but is ready to re-join the Islanders for Tuesday's morning skate. He played just two games during his conditioning stint but it's unclear whether or not he's 100 percent ready to return to the NHL lineup.

Ladd, who has played in just two NHL games and 34 AHL games this season, will be with the Islanders for the rest of the season following Monday's call-up. During his time in the AHL, he was second on the team with 11 goals, second only to the Kieffer Bellows, who he is replacing on the roster.

Following the acquisition of J.G. Pageau from the Senators, the Islanders announced that Bellows is going back to the AHL and Andrew Ladd is coming back up for good.

He’s been a big part of our team but he’s going to be an even bigger part of our future…I have no doubt he’ll be back with us and help us.” This move also keeps Farabee available for the AHL playoffs.

Bunnaman may be a casualty of the Flyers moves on Monday. Philadelphia added two veteran centres in Derek Grant and Nate Thompson, likely forcing Bunnaman to the AHL for the foreseeable future. The 21-year-old has two points (1G / 1A) in 21 NHL games and five points (4G / 1A) inn 24 AHL games this season.
