Strome found a home on the Rangers' second line playing with Artemi Panarin for the last three seasons, tallying 53 goals and 109 assists (162 points) in 200 games--22 goals and 45 assists (67 points) per 82-game pace. In Anaheim he should play a similar role as the No.2 centre behind Trevor Zegras but likely will not have the star power of Panarin on his wing.
Meyer was a sixth-round pick in the 2017 NHL draft and made his NHL debut during the 2022 season, scoring one goal with two assists (three points) in 13 games with the Blue Jackets. During his time in Cleveland (AHL), he was seventh on the team with 27 points (16G / 11A) in 57 games.
Dumoulin will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury that he suffered in Game 2. Mark Friedman will remain in the Penguins lineup with Dumoulin sidelined.
Leason split his 2021-22 season between the NHL and AHL. With the Capitals, he had six points (3G / 3A) in 36 games and had 13 points (6G / 7A) in 31 AHL games. He'll replace Tom Wilson, who is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Gudas suffered a lower-body injury in Boston on Tuesday and will miss the Panthers' back-to-back on Thursday/Friday. Head coach Andrew Brunette said that Gudas is day-to-day and hopeful that he'll be ready for the playoffs.
