Pouliot had two goals, 16 assists, 42 PIMs and a -7 plus/minus through 26 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) and has signed a one-year contract with the Sharks on Thursday. The 29-year-old has played in 213 NHL games across eight seasons, picking up eight goals and 52 points across that span.

Taylor Hall recently suffered a lower-body injury, which he'll receive a second opinion on, so the Bruins have added Bertuzzi to their top-9.

He will make his Toronto debut on Wednesday.

The NHLPA and NHL announced today that Panthers' goalie Spencer Knight will be unavailable for an indefinite period of time while he receives care from the player assistance program of the NHL and NHLPA. Under the terms of the joint program, Knight will continue to be paid while receiving treatment. He will return to the club when cleared for on-ice competition by the program administrators.

Knight has a 9-8-3 record, 3.18 GAA and .901 SV% but has been reassigned to the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) in a surprise move Wednesday. Alex Lyon will head up to the Panthers as the 21-year-olds replacement.

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 37 days ago (injury). 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.

Burakovsky left Seattle's previous game vs. the Islanders after just one shift and 0:21 TOI due to a lower-body injury and has been placed on the injured-reserve Thursday. The 28-year-old left winger had 13 goals, 26 assists, 105 SOG, 14 PIMs and a -9 plus/minus in 49 games in his first season with the Kraken.

Burakovsky left Tuesday's game vs. the Islanders with a lower-body injury and did not return. The Kraken did not have an update on his status post-game, so consider him questionable to play Thursday in New Jersey.

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.
