The Devils have recalled Nico Daws from Utica (AHL).
Daws started his 2021-22 season by stopping 25 of 27 shots in a win in his AHL debut. The 2020 third-round selection spent last season in Germany, where he was 4-6-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .897 SV%. There's no indication why Daws was called up because now the Devils have three goalies on the active roster.
Hughes suffered a dislocation of his left shoulder and will not require surgery; will be re-evaluated next week.
Hughes dislocated his left shoulder on Tuesday night but an MRI revealed no further damage, and he does not require surgery at this time. According to the Devils, he has begun physical therapy and will be re-evaluated next week. Hughes was also moved to injured reserve.
Hughes is day-to-day after leaving Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury; will be re-evaluated on Wednesday.
Hughes fell awkwardly after absorbing a hit in Tuesday's win over the Kraken. Head coach Lindy Ruff told reporters post-game that Hughes is day-to-day for now but will be evaluated further on Wednesday. The Devils are back in action on Thursday, so there's a good chance he misses the game vs. the Capitals.
The Predators sent Cody Glass to Milwaukee (AHL) on Monday.
Goalie Start
Allen will start Tuesday vs. the Sharks.
Goalie Start
Allen led the Canadiens onto the ice for warmups.
Rittich has been added to the COVID-19 protocol list.
Rittich will not be available for Saturday's game vs. the Predators. With Rittich out, Connor Ingram was recalled from Milwaukee (AHL) and will backup Juuse Saros.
Goalie Start
Allen will start the Canadiens season opener in Toronto.
The Canucks have acquired Noah Juulsen and Juho Lammikko from the Panthers for Olli Juolevi.
With the Panthers adding a bunch of bodies up front in recent months, Lammikko was set to lose his roster spot in 2022. The 25-year-old forward had four goals and one assist (five points) in 44 games with the Panthers a season ago but is known more for his defensive game and penalty killing abilities. With Brandon Sutter and Tyler Motte both out to start the season, Lammikko has a good chance to make an impression early.
The Jets have re-signed Johnathan Kovacevic to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Hurricanes have signed Stefan Noesen to a one-year, two-way contract.

The Panthers have re-signed Juho Lammikko to a one-year contract.
The Devils have signed Dougie Hamilton to a seven-year contract worth $63 million ($9.0M AAV).
The Predators have signed David Rittich to a one-year deal worth $1.25M.
The Penguins have signed Evan Rodrigues to a one-year deal worth $1.0 million.
The Jets have acquired Brenden Dillon from the Capitals for a 2022 second-round pick and a 2023 second-round pick.
Dillon, who is 30-years-old, has three years left on a contract that carries a $3.9M AAV cap-hit. Dillon is a huge (6-foot-4, 225 lbs.) defenseman who brings a rugged style to the Jets' blueline that they were missing in 2020-21. Dillon ranked eighth among defensemen in hits (143) but is also capable of chipping in offensively, averaging three goals and 19 assists (22 points) per 82 games over the last four seasons. He'll likely eat up the minutes left by Derek Forbort (17:57 TOI/gm).
The Coyotes have acquired Vladislav Kolyachonok, Anton Stralman and a 2024 second-round pick from the Panthers for a 2023 seventh-round pick.
Kolyachonok was a second-round pick (No.52 overall) in 2019and split his 2021 campaign between the KHL and AHL. He started the year with Minsk (KHL) and collected six points (1G / 5A) in 46 games before returning to Syracuse (AHL). He had two assists in 10 AHL games and will likely report to the Coyotes AHL affiliate to start the 2021-22 season.
The Predators have acquired Cody Glass from the Golden Knights for Nolan Patrick.
Glass was the No.6 overall pick in the 2017 NHL draft but has had a difficult time landing a full-time role with the Golden Knights. The 22-year-old centre had 10 points (4G / 6A) in 27 games in the most recent NHL season and added 10 points (4G / 6A) in 14 AHL games. Glass gets flipped to Nashville for Nolan Patrick, who was acquired from the Flyers as a part of a trade for Ryan Ellis and was selected No.2 overall in the same draft as Glass.
