Goalie Start
Korpisalo will start Saturday vs. the Hurricanes.
Jones will have surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle and is expected to be out for 4-to-6 months.
This surgery will sideline Jones until at least the end of February, which means he could be back when the NHL returns from the Olympic break. The Ducks have 29 games after that break.
The Ducks have placed Max Jones (upper-body) on IR.
Jones has been sent back to Anaheim, suggesting that his injury is relatively serious. With Jones out, Derek Grant will remain in the Ducks lineup on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start Wednesday in Philadelphia.
Goalie Start
Korpisalo will start Tuesday in Detroit.
The Blackhawks have sent Ian Mitchell to Rockford (AHL).
Mitchell played in the Blackhawks season opener but was scratched in after they signed Erik Gustafsson to a one-year deal. Mitchell will get playing time in Rockford, where he had one assist in five games last season.
Line Change
Jones will draw into the Ducks lineup on Friday.
Line Change
Mitchell will be a healthy scratch on Friday.
Mitchell had an assist in 8:23 TOI in the season opener but will come out of the lineup for Game 2. Erik Gustafsson will draw into the lineup to replace him.
Goalie Start
Swayman will start the Bruins season opener on Saturday.
The Bruins have signed Charlie McAvoy to an eight-year contract extension worth $76.0 million ($9.5M AAV).
McAvoy is in the final year of his three-year, $14.7M deal that he signed in September of 2019. His new deal kicks in next year and carries him through the 2030 campaign and represents a $4.6M AAV raise.
Line Change
Jones is not on the ice for warmups and will not play in the Ducks season opener.
Waiver Move
The Flyers have claimed Patrick Brown off waivers from the Golden Knights.
Brown found himself on the roster bubble in Vegas but gets a chance to crack the Flyers roster after being picked up off of waivers. With Kevin Hayes out to open the season, the Flyers are a little thin down the middle, which is why they added the 29-year-old Brown. He has just three points (2G / 1A) in 33 career NHL games with Carolina and Vegas.
Korpisalo is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will miss the start of training camp.
Korpisalo will miss at least the first few days of training camp but is expected to be ready before the start of the regular season. Korpisalo had some struggles during the 2021 season, so he enters this year as the projected No.2 netminder in Columbus.
The Flames have re-signed Nikita Zadorov to a one-year, $3.75 million contract.
The Bruins have signed Fabian Lysell to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Blue Jackets have signed Andrew Peeke to a two-year contract extension worth $1.575 million ($787.5K AAV).
The Ducks have signed Max Jones to a three-year contract extension worth $3.885 million ($1.295M AAV).
