  • Slated starter for Thursday
    Reimer is expected to start on the road against Carolina on Thursday, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic.

    Advice: Reimer has won his last three starts while saving 90 of 97 shots (.928 save percentage). He's 9-7-2 with a 2.98 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 outings this campaign. The Hurricanes, who rank ninth offensively with 3.37 goals per game, figure to be a challenging adversary for Reimer. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:00 pm
  • Sent to minors
    Balinskis was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday.

  • Might be ready Thursday
    Joshua (upper body) could be an option versus Dallas on Thursday, telling reporters, "Yeah, possibly. I'm not sure yet. We'll talk about it and see how the morning goes," per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    Advice: At this point, Joshua should probably be considered a game-time decision heading into Thursday's tilt, though the fact that he skated in a second-line role Wednesday serves as a strong indication he's nearing a return. If he does suit up against the Stars, it would be the 27-year-old winger's first appearance since Feb. 13 versus Chicago, a game in which he racked up three points. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:01 pm
