Thomas was the 51st overall pick of the Kings in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and will make his NHL debut on Monday against the Winnipeg Jets. The 24-year-old Thomas has 43 points (22G / 21A) in 61 games with the Ontario Reign (AHL) this season.
Moverare's short stint with Ontario (AHL) lasted a total of three days as the 25-year-old was recalled from the minors on Friday. The rookie defensemen scored his first NHL goal this season but is still without an assist to go along with his 10 SOG, six PIMs and +3 plus/minus through 19 games played this season.
The Kings have gotten healthier of late which has limited Moverare's game time, so they've opted to send him back down to Ontario where he can command a larger role. He has one goal in 19 games with the Kings this season.
Edmundson played only 14:50 time-on-ice in the Maple Leafs' last game and is battling an undisclosed injury. In seven games with the Maple Leafs, Edmundson has zero points, five shots, and 14 hits.
After a disastrous 7-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday, the Capitals will turn to Kuemper between the pipes on Friday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Kuemper has been inconsistent all season and has only played once in the last 11 games for the Capitals, a 7-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers when he allowed seven goals on 37 shots (.811 SV%). The Capitals enter action as +174 road underdogs against the Hurricanes.

With Los Angeles on the second half of their back-to-back and Cam Talbot taking the crease in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Chicago, David Rittich will man the crease on Wednesday vs. Minnesota. The 31-year-old backup started the year in the AHL but has impressed and surprised many with his 10-5-3 record, .916 SV% and 2.29 GAA in 20 games played this season. He'll host the Minnesota Wild who are on a bit of a heater having won four of their last five games while ranking 18th in the NHL in goals per game on the season (3.07).
