Mrazek allowed four goals on 31 shots after replacing James Reimer in the Hurricanes 8-6 loss in Toronto on Monday afternoon. Mrazek has given up three-plus goals in three straight games but has performed well on home-ice this season. Mrazek is 10-4-0 with a 2.42 GAA, .905 SV% and one shutout in 14 games at PNC Arena but the Capitals are an equally strong 16-4-1 on the road.
Both Gudas and Michal Kempny are battling illness, so Christian Djoos was called up from the AHL in case one or both of them miss tonight's game vs. the Blue Jackets.
Harkins has been terrific in the AHL this season, leading Manitoba with 31 points (7G / 24A) in 30 games. The former second-round pick will replace Joona Luoto, so look for him to start his career on the fourth line.
Harkins was a second-round pick (No.47 overall) in 2015 and has played in 156 AHL games since. This year the 22-year-old winger leads the Manitoba Moose with 31 points (7G / 24A) in 30 games. He could make his NHL debut before the Christmas break with Mathieu Perreault and Andrew Copp both going on IR on Wednesday.
Terry suffered a broken bone in his leg during the second period of Tuesday's game in Philadelphia and will miss at least two and a half months. With Terry and Derek Grand getting hurt, the Ducks have recalled Isac Lundestrom and Max Jones from San Diego (AHL).
Terry left the Ducks' loss in Philadelphia in the second period and did not return. Head coach Dallas Eakins did not have an update on Terry post-game, but it seems unlikely that he will be available in New Jersey. Sam Carrick is their only reserve forward, so expect him to replace Terry.
Mrazek allowed one goal on 26 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Vancouver last Thursday. James Reimer started Saturday in Calgary but look for Mrazek to face the Jets on Tuesday. He has won 3-3-2 with a 2.94 GAA, .900 SV% and one shutout on the road this season, so this isn't the best matchup for the 27-year-old.

Granlund missed Monday's morning skate and is expected to miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. With Granlund out, Colton Sissons will skate on the Predators' second line with Kyle Turris and Matt Duchene.
Mrazek gave up two goals on 24 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Wild last Saturday. James Reimer started Tuesday in Edmonton but it looks like Mrazek will start Thursday in Vancouver. He's won two straight and is 3-3-1 with a 3.24 GAA and .891 SV% on the road this year, so he's not a great option against a quality Canucks offence.

Poehling replaced Matthew Peca in the lineup on Wednesday but heads back to Laval ahead of Saturday's game vs. the Red Wings. His reassignment could be a paper move with a few days off or a sign that Pecas will be back on Saturday.
Poehling has scored five goals with seven assists (12 points) in 26 games with Laval (AHL) this season. The 20-year-old will replace Kasperi Kotkaniemi (concussion) who was placed on IR. The 20-year-old has three goals in five career NHL games.
Mrazek stopped 28 of 30 shots in the Hurricanes win over the Sharks on Thursday. James Reimer has been getting more action as of late but Mrazek will start his second straight game and comes in at 9-3-0 with a 2.31 GAA, .910 SV% and one shutout on home ice. The Wild are heating up but Mrazek is always a solid option in Carolina.
Killorn was a game-time decision on Tuesday but didn't end up playing for the second straight game. This morning he was on the ice for the morning skate and was on a line with Carter Verhaeghe and Mathieu Joseph, so expect him to fill a fourth-line role if he plays.
