Markstrom underwent a minor lower-body procedure on Wednesday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Markstrom's original timetable was 3-to-4 weeks and that could still be the case. Vancouver will likely release another update after he is re-evaluated in two weeks. Thatcher Demko will be the Canucks' starter until further notice, suggesting he could start the next eight-to-nine games in a row (with two back-to-backs).

The Hurricanes have placed Dougie Hamilton on LTIR.

The Hurricanes were busy on trade deadline day to they had to make some room and they did so by moving Dougie Hamilton to LTIR. To help make up for the loss of Hamilton and most recently Brett Pesce, the Hurricanes used the cap space to acquired Brady Skjei and Sami Vatanen.

Markstrom will return to Vancouver to be evaluated; expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks with a lower-body injury.

Markstrom was hurt in the Boston game on Saturday and underwent an MRI on Monday morning. He'll return to Vancouver to be re-evaluated and the Canucks will likely return a more detailed timetable after that. With Markstrom out, Thatcher Demko will serve as the Canucks' No.1 netminder and they made a trade for Louis Domingue today to give them a No.2 netminder.

Pesce's shoulder injury is not expected to be "short term."

Head coach Rod Brind'Amour met with the media on Monday and told reporters that none of their recent injuries are "short term." With Pesce set to miss some time, the Hurricanes could be in the market for a defenseman before today's trade deadline.

The Panthers have acquired Erik Haula, Lucas Wallmark, Chase Priskie and Eetu Luostarinen from the Hurricanes for Vincent Trocheck.

Haula performed admirably in his third-line role for the Hurricanes after being acquired from Vegas in the off-season. Injuries limited him to just 41 games in a Carolina uniform, but he was able to register 12 goals and 10 assists while playing less than 16 minutes a night. He should play more of a top-six role now with the Panthers. Haula is set to become an unrestricted free-agent on July 1.

Bernier led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.

Bernier allowed three goals on 39 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Islanders on Friday. Bernier has gone 1-4-0 with a 3.29 GAA and .895 SV% in his last six games (five starts) and draws a tough assignment tonight with the Flames in town. They may be just 4-3-0 in their last seven but Calgary has averaged 4.86 goals per game in that span.

Pesce (upper-body) is expected to be out for "a long time."

Pesce was hurt midway through Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs and did not return. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour did not have a good update on the 25-year-old defenseman, leaving them without two of their top-4 defenseman for an extended period of time. With the trade deadline on Monday, this injury could change how the Hurricanes operate in the next 24 hours.
