In presumably a paper transaction, Stankoven was reassigned to the Texas Stars (AHL). The 21-year-old has transitioned seamlessly to the NHL, scoring four points (3G / 1A) in four games while playing on a line with Wyatt Johnston and Jamie Benn.
The Maple Leafs get Lyubushkin from the Ducks, who received a third-round pick and retained 50 percent of his $2.75M AAV cap-hit. The Hurricanes received a sixth-round pick to retain 25 percent of the contract. Lyubushkin is in his sixth NHL season and heads to Toronto with four assists, 112 hits and 138 blocked shots in 55 games this season.
The move looks to be a precautionary one as the Ducks are reportedly close to moving Lyubushkin in a trade. Lyubushkin has 138 blocked shots, 112 hits, and four assists in 55 games this season.
Lundkvist has not played since suffering a concussion on February 15th but will draw back into the lineup on Thursday, replacing Joel Hanley. The 23-year-old Lundkvist has 15 points (2G / 13A) in 43 games this season.
Oettinger was between the pipes for the Stars on Tuesday, allowing five goals on 27 shots (.815 SV%) in a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, and will attempt to rebound on Thursday night. The Stars are -129 home favourites in a battle for Central division supremacy against the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. The Stars have fared well against the Jets this season, winning both previous contests, including a 27-save shutout for Oettinger in a 2-0 victory.
Brady was a fifth-round pick of the Devils in 2019. The 23-year-old netminder has gone 4-2-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .886 SV% in nine games at UMass-Amherst (NCAA) this season.
Oettinger will likely start in the back end of a back-to-back on Tuesday when the Stars face off against their divisional rival, the Colorado Avalanche. The 24-year-old Oettinger was excellent in his last outing, albeit lightly tested, saving 20 of 21 shots (.952 SV) in a 2-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. The Stars last played the Avalanche on January 4th, a 5-4 overtime loss with Scott Wedgewood between the pipes.

Seguin was replaced on the second line by Ty Dellandrea on Saturday, a move that will likely remain for the foreseeable future as he will be out of the lineup on a week-to-week basis. Before his injury, Seguin was enjoying his best campaign in several years with 45 points (20G / 25A) in 58 games. Seguin's injury allowed Logan Stankoven to make his NHL debut and play on a line with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston.
Despite being held off the scoresheet, Stankoven was impressive in his NHL debut on Saturday, recording 15:20 time-on-ice while firing three shots on goals. He played on a line with Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston. Stankoven has spent the majority of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, transitioning seamlessly in his first professional season, leading the league with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 46 games with the Texas Stars.
After receiving only his second night off in the last 11 games, Oettinger will return to the crease on Thursday night. Oettinger has dropped his last two contests (0-0-2), allowing three or more goals in both while posting an unimpressive .870 SV%. The Stars have lost three straight (0-1-2) but are -157 road favourites entering action against the Ottawa Senators.
The Stars recalled Stankoven ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rangers, but immediately loaned him back after Matt Duchene (lower-body) was deemed fit to play. The highly-touted prospect's NHL debut will have to wait. Stankoven has transitioned seamlessly in his first professional season, leading the AHL with 57 points (24G / 33A) in 46 games with the Texas Stars.
Duchene participated in the pre-game skate on Monday but was a last-minute scratch for the Stars due to a lower-body injury. He was replaced by Sam Steel on the second line in Monday's contest and was a game-time decision on Tuesday.

He was replaced by Sam Steel on the second line in Monday's contest and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday. The Stars recalled highly-touted offensive prospect Logan Stankoven, who will likely draw into the lineup if Duchene is still unavailable.
Petrovic made his season debut with Dallas yesterday, registering two shots and two hits in 12:52 time-on-ice, but has been reassigned to Texas to make room for the call-up of Logan Stankoven. Additionally, Miro Heiskane will draw back into the lineup on the blueline after not playing on Monday to attend the birth of his child.
