Fistric, 28, did not record a point and was a minus-3 in nine games with the Ducks. Fistric is in the first year of a three-year deal, which is likely the reason that he cleared waivers.
Bourque served as a healthy scratch on Saturday, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Flames. He has two goals and four assists in 21 games with the Ducks.
Smith-Pelly has not recorded a point in the last six games and has just 15 points (4G / 11A) in 41 games this season. He will be replaced by former Flame Rene Bourque.
Andersen made 26 saves on 28 shots in the Ducks shootout win over Los Angeles on Saturday. Andersen has won five consecutive starts with a 2.29 GAA and .925 SV%. Tonight he will make his third start of the year against the Flames—he is 1-0-1 with a 2.41 GAA and .906 SV% in the first two meetings.
Lee did not see any playing time during his recall. He likely won’t be recalled now that Mike McKenna is with the Coyotes.
Lessio, 21, has one goal and one assist in nine games with the Coyotes. In Portland he has registered 16 points (9G / 7A) in 26 games.
Samuelsson, 23, had not recorded a point in four games with the Coyotes. He heads back to the Pirates where he has one goal and two assists in 16 games.
Gormley has recorded two goals, one assist and four penalty minutes (PIM) in 15 games with the Coyotes this season. He will likely be recalled after the All Star break. He will likely play a few games with Portland over the break.
McKenna has posted a 16-13-2 record with a 2.09 GAA and a .934 SV% in 32 games with the Pirates. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound native net minder owns a 3.40 GAA and a .891 SV% in 21 career NHL games.
The Predators are done until after the All Star break, so he heads to Milwaukee where he will likely start a couple of games this week, before returning to the Predators next week.
Falk is currently out with a lower-body injury. He has been placed on waivers for the purpose of being assigned to Iowa (AHL).
Oleksiak has registered one goal and seven assists in 31 games with the Stars this season. He will likely be the first defenseman recalled after the All Star break.
Jokipakka had two assists in three games during his recall. He has been sent down because the Stars are done until after the All Star break. If Trevor Daley is not ready after the break, Jokipakka could be recalled.
Perreault will miss his second straight game with an arm injury that he suffered last Friday. There is still no word on exactly how long he will be out, but expect an update over the All Star break.
Stuart missed yesterday’s practice and today’s game day skate with an undisclosed injury. Coach Paul Maurice said that Stuart could probably play tonight, but will benefit from having a week off during the All Star break. He will be replaced by Jacob Trouba, who will return from IR.
Trouba has missed the last 16 games with an upper-body injury, but will return tonight vs. the Blue Jackets. Trouba has registered 12 points (4G / 8A) with a plus-3 rating in 31 games before getting hurt. He will replace Mark Stuart in tonight’s lineup.

Despres was held out of last night’s game and will not play again tonight vs. Chicago. Kris Letang could potentially be out as well, so expect Derick Pouliot to play if neither one are available.
