Knight allowed four goals on 33 shots (.879 SV%) for his fourth loss in five starts as he was defeated by Dallas in his previous start. The 21-year-old has had an up-and-down season, which led to his 9-7-3 record, 3.05 GAA and .906 SV%. He takes on the St. Louis Blues, who snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Arizona in their previous game.
Knight has been out since January 8th due to an upper-body injury and will return to the Panthers lineup as a backup netminder Monday. The 21-year-old had a 9-7-1 record, 3.05 GAA and .906 SV% prior to the injury.
Mikheyev is out for the season, so moving him to LTIR adds an additional $4.75 million to the Canucks' LTI salary pool.
Mikheyev reportedly suffered an ACL tear in the preseason and had been playing on it the entire season. He will have surgery next week, ending his 2022-23 season with 28 points (13G / 15A) in 46 games. Mikheyev was on-pace for a career-high 48 points (22G / 26A).
Knight went 1-1-0 while stopping 45 of 49 shots (.918 SV%) during his "conditioning stint" with Charlotte. Knight is expected to serve as Alex Lyon's backup on Monday and should start Tuesday in Pittsburgh. Knight has gone 9-7-3 with a 3.05 GAA and .906 SV% in 19 NHL games this season.
Bertuzzi did not play in the third period of Thursday's win in Vegas and is questionable to play Saturday. After he left the game, Jonatan Berggren moved up into his place on the third line, so expect that to continue on Saturday with Adam Erne drawing in on the fourth line.
Knight has been out since January 8th, so he'll go to the AHL for conditioning. With Sergei Bobrovsky getting hurt on Thursday, Knight may have to shoulder the load for the Panthers moving forward. It's unclear if Knight will return to the NHL for Saturday's game or not.
Bertuzzi left the Red Wings' previous game vs. Vegas after just 11:22 TOI due to a lower-body injury and is questionable to play Saturday when Detroit takes on Philadelphia. Bertuzzi has been back for only six games since his previous long-term injury so he will be hoping this is nothing serious.
Sending Reichel back to the AHL suggests that Patrick Kane will be back in the Blackhawks' lineup on Saturday. Reichel looked good in his four-game stint, scoring one goal with two assists (three points). Reichel returns to the AHL, where he's now third on the team with 36 points (14G / 22A) in 32 games this season.
Donato was a healthy scratch for the Krakens' previous contest but will draw back into the lineup Thursday as he replaces Morgan Geekie on Seattle's fourth line. The 26-year-old has eight goals, five assists, 58 SOG, 23 PIMs and a +11 plus/minus through 33 games played so far this year.
Seney failed to pick up a point across his two-game showing with the Blackhawks but will be reassigned to the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was having a phenomenal season with Rockford prior to his call-up, ranking top-five in AHL scoring with his 14 goals, and 38 points through 32 games prior to his promotion.
Knight has a 9-7-3 record, 3.05 GAA and .906 SV% but will miss Tuesday's game vs. Colorado and has been placed on the injured reserve. He is considered day-to-day and Alex Lyon will backup the Panthers' net while Knight is on the mend.
