Line Change
Welinski will draw into the Ducks lineup on Wednesday.
Welinski was a healthy scratch for the first three games of the season but will make his season debut tonight vs. the Wild. He will replace Josh Manson, who is sidelined with an upper-body injury.
Teravainen was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday.
The Hurricanes played in Nashville on Monday and had just one player n the COVID-19 protocol list and that was Jordan Staal. On Tuesday, their game with the Predators was cancelled due to four more players being added to that list, Teravainen among them. The four players with confirmed positive tests must stay behind in Nashville and observe a 10-day isolation period in the team hotel.

Mrazek starts Saturday in Detroit.
Smith is expected to make his Bruins debut on Saturday.
Smith missed the season opener with a lower-body injury but head coach Bruce Cassidy expects to have him on Saturday afternoon. Smith had 18 goals and 13 assists (31 points) in 69 games with Nashville last season.
Smith (lower-body) is not on the ice for warmups.
Smith (lower-body) will be a game-time decision for the Bruins season opener.

Goalie Start
Mrazek will start the Hurricanes season opener in Detroit.
In his second year in Carolina, Mrazek went 21-16-2 with a 2.69 GAA and .905 SV%. Mrazek will continue to split time with James Reimer in 2021 but Mrazek will start opening night vs. his former team. Mrazek was 2-0-0 while stopping 52 of 57 shots (.912 SV%) in two starts against the Red Wings in 2020.
Khudobin will miss the start of training camp due to immigration issues.
Depending on when Khudobin gets his visa issues cleared up and arrives in Dallas, he could be in danger of missing the start of the regular season. He will be forced to quarantine for seven days once he arrives in Dallas. With Ben Bishop expected to be out until March, Khudobin will be leaned on to serve as the Stars No.1 netminder for at least a month and a half.
The Kings have signed Andreas Athanasiou to a one-year deal worth $1.2 million.
The Maple Leafs signed Joey Anderson to a three-year contract extension worth $2.25 million ($750K AAV).
The Red Wings have signed Tyler Bertuzzi to a one-year deal worth $3.5 million.
The Maple Leafs have re-signed Ilya Mikheyev to a two-year contract extension worth $3.29 million ($1.645M AAV).
The Sabres have signed Taylor Hall to a one-year deal worth $8.0 million.
The Maple Leafs have acquired Joey Anderson from the Devils for Andreas Johnsson.
The Bruins have signed Craig Smith to a three-year deal worth $9.3 million ($3.1M AAV).
Smith has provided great secondary scoring throughout his career in Nashville and will fill a similar third-line role in Boston. Smith was on-pace for 21 goals before the 2020 season was cut short. It would have been sixth time in seven years that Smith broke the 20-goal barrier. He has a solid floor but limited upside. Expect him to finish 2021 around 20 goals and 20 assists.
The Ducks have signed Andy Welinski to a one-year deal worth $750K.
Welinski played the entire 2020 campaign in Lehigh Valley (AHL), where he had eight goals and 13 assists (21 points) in 42 games. Welinski has only appeared in 33 NHL games since being drafted in the third-round in 2011. After one year in the Flyers organization, Welinski returns to the Ducks and likely the San Diego Gulls (AHL).
