Roslovic played the entire game for the Blue Jackets on Sunday but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and has since been placed on the injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least one week. Roslovic was off to a strong start this season, tallying eight points (2G / 6A) in 14 games and 29 shots while averaging 16:31 time-on-ice. Kent Johnson, who was sent down to Cleveland (AHL) last week, could be an option to replace Roslovic's offence for the Blue Jackets should they opt to recall him.

After recording nine points (3G / 6A) in his first seven games as a Red Wing, Gostisbehere went invisible, recording zero points and a -8 plus/minute rating in his last six contests, leading to his eventual healthy scratch on Thursday. He will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Martin has been solid when called upon this season and will attempt to snap the Blue Jackets' two-game losing streak when they face off against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. In five games (1-2-1), Martin boasts a 2.62 GAA and .928 SV%. The Blue Jackets played the Stars on October 30th, with Merzlikins between the pipes, losing 5-3. Martin and the Blue Jackets are listed as +199 home underdogs on Thursday.

With news that Frederik Andersen will be out indefinitely because of a blood clotting issue, the Hurricanes have recalled Kochetkov from the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL. Kochetkov recently had a great three-game stint in the AHL (3-0-0), posting a 1.63 GAA and .932 SV%, which starkly contrasts his poor 4.33 GAA and .836 SV% from an earlier three-game stint (0-3-0) with the Hurricanes. Antti Raanta will likely be the go-to option between the pipes while Andersen is away from the team. The Hurricanes also announced on Monday that veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak will be joining the team on a free-agent tryout.

Andersen did not participate in practice on Monday due to what was originally described as an undisclosed medical issue. Don Waddell, Hurricanes President and GM, has since put out a statement noting that Andersen had a blood clotting issue that needed to be addressed. There is no timeline for his return. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0). Assuming he misses extended time, Antti Raanta will be the likely candidate to take on most of the Hurricanes' goaltending duties. The Hurricanes also announced on Monday that veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak will be joining the team on a free-agent tryout.

Carrier missed the Golden Knights' previous game due to illness but is expected to return Saturday vs. Colorado after taking part in the team's morning skate. The 28-year-old left-winger has two goals, 11 SOG, and two PIMs in eight games played in a complimentary role this season while averaging only 10:25 TOI.

Hall missed the Blackhawks' previous three-games due to a shoulder injury and was originally touted as week-to-week but will surprisingly return Saturday vs. Florida. The 31-year-old left-winger has twice missed time due to his injured shoulder so far leading to him missing five total games this season but has two assists, seven SOG, two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in five games played.

Hall's return date is still uncertain but his presence at practice on Friday is a very encouraging sign for a Blackhawks team that has been outscored 23-8 in their last five games (1-4-0). Hall had two points (0G / 2A) in five games before being placed on the injured reserve on October 23rd.

Jost has played seven games for the Sabres, recording two points (1G / 1A), but is expected to be a healthy scratch on Friday night. The Sabres will welcome Lukas Rousek into the lineup for his season debut.

After a slow start to the season, the Hurricanes are in the midst of a three-game winning streak and will likely turn to Andersen for his second consecutive start. In his last two games (2-0-0), Andersen has saved 50 of 54 shots (.926 SV%) and appears to be returning to form after posting a .855 SV% in his first three appearances (2-0-0). Despite their recent success, the Hurricanes are slight +100 road underdogs as they visit the 7-2-0 New York Rangers, who have outscored their opposition 17-7 during a five-game winning streak.
