Hrivik, 26, has recorded 10 goals and 19 assists (29 points) in 28 games with Stockton this season. The former Ranger has just three assists in 21 career NHL games. He will take Freddie Hamilton’s spot on the Flames roster.
Hamilton has sat as a healthy scratch for the majority of the season, only appearing in eight games with the Flames, collecting just one assist. He will likely fill a similar role with the Coyotes.
Brown was in the lineup for the last two games but will be replaced by Ryan Callahan (shoulder) in the lineup tonight. Brown has just four points (1G / 3A) in 22 games this season.
Callahan has missed the last eight games with a shoulder injury but will return tonight in Montreal. Callahan has recorded just one goal and five assists (six points) in 29 games this season. Callahan will replace J.T. Brown on the fourth line.
Vasilevskiy stopped all 29 shots that he faced in the Lightning’s shutout win over the Maple Leafs on Tuesday. Vasilevskiy enters Thursday with a 164:29 shutout streak intact. The Vezina Trophy frontrunner stopped 31 of 32 shots in a 3-1 win over the Canadiens last Thursday.
Andersen allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Maple Leafs loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. Andersen has lost his last two starts while allowing a combined seven goals on 66 shots (.894 SV%). In his first start vs. the Sharks, Andersen allowed just two goals on 38 shots in a 3-2 loss.
Hutton turned aside 24 of 26 shots in the Blues win over the Devils on Tuesday. It was another great outing for Hutton, who has won his last two starts while stopping 47 of 51 shots (.922 SV%), earning him a third consecutive start tonight. Hutton enters play leading the NHL in both GAA (1.70) and SV% (.944) in 13 games.
Jones was yanked after he allowed four goals on 22 shots in the Sharks loss in Dallas on Sunday. Jones’ struggles continued over the weekend, but the Sharks will go back to him tonight after Aaron Dell started on Tuesday. Jones is 4-5-1 with a 2.90 GAA and .911 SV% on the road and has a tough matchup in Toronto.
Dumoulin suffered a concussion on Tuesday when he was hit in the head by a Claude Giroux shot. Dumoulin will miss Thursday’s game vs. the Hurricanes, so Matt Hunwick will draw onto the top pairing with Kris Letang.
Rowney played just 4:00 TOI in the Penguins win in Philadelphia on Tuesday and will be out “longer term” with an upper-body injury. With Rowney out, Dominik Simon will draw back into the Penguins lineup.

Dubnyk allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Wild’s win over the Panthers on Tuesday. Dubnyk has won each of his two starts since returning from injury, stopping 66 of 69 shots (.957 SV%). He is a must-start tonight vs. the Sabres—he allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 5-4 win in Buffalo in late-November.
Bjork had a nice start to the season, but has just 12 points (4G / 8A) through 28 games so he will head to Providence to work on his craft. He has never appeared in an AHL game after going straight from the University of Notre Dame to the NHL this fall.
Dalpe has scored two goals with seven assists (nine points) in 13 games with the Monsters this season. There is no word whether he will be in the lineup on Thursday, but he has no points in 10 NHL games this season.
Murray stopped all 11 shots that he faced after replacing the banged up Tristan Jarry in the Penguins win in Philadelphia on Tuesday. Tonight he will make his first start of the season versus the Hurricanes, but his 14th start on home ice—he is 8-3-1 with a 2.63 GAA and .920 SV% in his first 13 games at PPG Paints Arena.

Aho had no points with three shots and a minus-4 rating in his first two career NHL games. He will take a seat tonight in Philadelphia with Dennis Seidenberg replacing him on the blueline.
Seidenberg was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Sebastian Aho in the Islanders lineup on Thursday. Seidenberg will start on a pairing with Nick Leddy but still carries no fantasy value.
