Rittich is in the final year of a two-year deal that carries a $2.75M AAV cap-hit. The Flames are retaining 50% of Rittich's cap-hit in exchange for a third in 2022. After a few solid seasons in 2019 and 2020, Rittich has struggled a bit in 2021, going 4-7-1 with a 2.90 GAA and .904 SV% in 15 games.

Noesen rarely suited up for the Sharks in 2021, appearing in just five games at the NHL-level and 12 with their AHL affiliate. Noesen will likely head to the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

The Devils are anticipating moving a few defenseman ahead of Monday's trade deadline, so Siegenthaler gives them and NHL body to replace anybody they ship out. After appearing in 64 games with the Capitals last year, he has only suited up in seven in 2021, failing to record a point. The 23-year-old is good friend with fellow Swiss native and New Jersey Devil Nico Hischier.



Bjugstad was considered questionable after missing Tuesday's practice and will not play vs. the Avalanche. Luckily for the Wild, they will get both Mats Zuccarello and Zach Parise back in the lineup.



Because of injuries, suspensions and a cap crunch, the Golden Knights had to play with 10 forwards on Thursday. However, they were able to recall Glass on Saturday and should at least be able to go with 11 forwards and six defensemen tonight. With Chandler Stephenson suspended, Glass could centre a line with Mark Stone and Max Pacioretty.










Meier has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but is expected to play Friday in Anaheim. Meier and Tomas Hertl are both likely to play, which is a huge boost to the second line. Meier has four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 21 games this season.
