Helleson was recalled from San Diego (AHL) after putting up a goal and two points along with 16 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus across 13 games. The 21-year-old is a 2nd round pick (47th overall) from 2019 and has yet to appear in an NHL game.

Johnston will fill in for Josh Bailey who is missing Monday's game due to an undisclosed injury. In limited action this season, Johnston has an assist in two games while averaging just 9:36 ATOI.

Stalock was placed on IR retroactively to November 1st after sustaining a concussion from a knock from Cody Cizikas. The 35-year-old was one of the league's best redemption stories early on, posting a 3-2-1 record to go along with his .914 SV% and 2.93 GAA.

Johnston drew back into the Islanders lineup Tuesday vs. Chicago and recorded an assist while only playing 8:41 TOI. He finds himself back in the press box Thursday as New York elects to go with veteran Matt Martin instead.

Stalock had to leave the Blackhawks' game Tuesday in the first period due to concussion protocol and is still yet to have a timetable for his return. Arvid Soderblom did his best to fill in stopping 28 of 30 shots in the loss Tuesday while Petr Mrazek (groin) was back on the ice Wednesday in practice.

Harkins has been enjoying an incredible start to his AHL season with Manitoba (AHL), scoring five goals and nine points in the team's first six games prior to his promotion Wednesday. In his 132 career NHL games, he has 22 points (10G/12A) and 24 PIMs.

It will be the second time Johnston has been asked to answer the bell as the scrappy winger last played on October 23rd vs. the Panthers. Through 119 career games, he has 22 points (9G/13A) and 248 PIMs while mostly occupying a fourth line role in New York.

Stalock allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Blackhawks' 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild on Sunday. The loss brought Stalock's record to 3-2-1 with a 2.95 GAA and .914 SV% on the season. He's been terrific so far this season, but the Islanders' offence has been catching fire recently and ranks seventh in the NHL in xGF/60 (3.51) and fifth in GF/gm (3.7).

Regenda has been sent down to San Diego of the AHL Monday. The 22-year-old collected his first two career points (2A) in his third career game on October 17th vs. the New York Rangers. He has two assists through five games prior to the demotion.

Stalock is coming off his third straight victory after he stopped 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in a 4-2 win over Florida Tuesday. The 35-year-old has been one of the best stories in the NHL early on, posting a .938 SV% and 2.09 GAA to go along with his 3-1-0 record. He will take on the high-scoring Edmonton Oilers who rank eighth in the NHL in GF/GP (3.57) and have won three of their last four games.

Stalock will be looking for his third straight win in as many Blackhawk games as he takes the crease Tuesday against the Panthers on home ice. The veteran has enjoyed his return to the NHL in 2022-23 after missing all of last year due to injury, posting a career-best .938 SV% and 2.14 GAA so far through his first three games. He will face the tough task of taking on the 4-1-1 Florida Panthers who are coming off a 3-2 win over NYI Saturday.
