The Blue Jackets opted for an 11-forward, seven-defensemen formation on Tuesday but will return to the traditional formation on Thursday as Bean will be a healthy scratch, allowing Kiril Marchenko to draw back into the lineup. Bean played 13:26 time-on-ice on Tuesday, tallying one assist.
Miromanov was acquired by Calgary earlier on Wednesday as part of the Noah Hanifin deal and has signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract extension with the Flames. The 26-year-old Russian defensemen had only appeared in four games with Vegas in 2023-24 after missing most of the season due to an undisclosed injury, failing to pick up a point while collecting six SOG and a -2 plus/minus.
The Flames gave up Noah Hanifin to get Miromanov, a conditional 2025 first-round pick and a conditional third-round pick from the Golden Knights. Calgary retained 50 percent of Hanifin's contract. Miromanov, who will be an RFA at the end of the season, has played in just four NHL games this season, but has seven points (2G / 5A) in 29 career NHL games (all with Vegas).
Vince Dunn exited the third period of Monday's game against the Flames after suffering the hit from Pospisil and is yet to return to the lineup, dealing with what the team has deemed to be an upper-body injury.

Mantha was acquired in a trade from the Washington Capitals for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round pick. He will likely slot in on the third line with Paul Cotter and Nicolas Roy. Mantha scored 34 points (20G / 14A) in 56 games with the Capitals this season.

Isaak Phillips will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Tinordi to re-enter the Blackhawks lineup. The 32-year-old Tinordi has six points (0G / 6A), 114 hits, and 76 blocks in 37 games this season.
With the newly-acquired Chris Tanev expected to make his Stars debut this week, and the team up against the salary cap approaching the trade deadline, Hanley has been placed on waivers. The 32-year-old Hanley has three points (0G / 3A), 35 hits, and 32 blocks in 32 games this season.

Connor Zary is day-to-day with an upper-body injury, prompting the Flames to recall Coronato from the Wranglers (AHL). Coronato was the 13th overall pick of the Flames in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and had a 15-game stint with the team earlier this season, but has spent most of his time in the AHL, scoring 42 points (15G / 27A) in 40 games with the Wranglers.
Grushnikov was a second-round pick (No.48 overall) of the Stars in 2021. The 20-year-old Russian defenseman turned pro at the end of his 2023 season with the Hamilton Bulldogs (OHL) and has five points (1G / 4A) in 45 AHL games since. He was acquired via trade on Wednesday in a move that saw Chris Tanev dealt to the Dallas Stars.
Hanley has played the last seven games for the Stars but will be a healthy scratch on Thursday as Nils Lundkvist makes his return from a concussion. Hanley's presence in the Stars lineup will likely be more limited moving forward with the recent acquisition of Chris Tanev.

Mantha was a game-time decision on Monday due to the lower-body injury, but he appears to be good to go. While playing predominantly on a line with Aliaksei and Connor McMichael, Mantha has been productive lately, scoring five points (2G / 3A) in his last five games.
