Thompson has picked up five points (3G / 2A) in 15 games with the Blues since being called up. With the Blues bye week start on Wednesday, he heads back to the AHL to keep playing. He has 16 points (7G / 9A) in 24 games with the Rampage this season.
The Flyers placed Michal Neuvirth on IR this morning, so Lyon has been recalled to serve as Brian Elliott’s backup in Wednesday’s game in Edmonton. Lyon has gone 8-6-1 with a 3.31 GAA and .894 SV% in 16 games with the Phantoms this season.
Thompson had no points, three shots, five hits and a minus-3 rating in his first four games and served as a healthy scratch on Tuesday. The 6-foot-5, 186 lbs. winger will swap spots with Sam Blais and go to the AHL where he had one goal and one assist in 16 games last season.
Tuch failed to record a point in three games during his call-up and has now recorded zero points in six games with the Wild. Tuch returns to Iowa, where he has 12 goals and 13 assists (25 points) in 36 games this season.
Tuch, 20, failed to record a point while playing three games on the Wild top line, but he has scored 12 goals and 13 assists (25 points) in 36 games with Iowa. Expect Tuch to draw back into the lineup on Tuesday.
Tuch failed to record a point while firing seven shots and averaging 11:54 TOI in his first three NHL games. The 2014 No.18 overall pick returns to Iowa, where he has 11 goals and 11 assists (22 points) in 34 games this season.
Tuch, 20, was a first round pick in 2014 (No.18 overall) and this is his first NHL call-up. Tuch has scored 11 goals with 11 assists (22 points) in his first 34 career AHL games and this call-up means he could make his NHL debut on Saturday.
Pearson has served his four-game suspension (two preseason games, two regular season games) and is set to return to the lineup on Tuesday. The Kings are very thin upfront, so Pearson’s return is huge for their top-6. He had 15 goals and 21 assists (36 points) last year and should build off of that this season. Teddy Purcell will sit with Pearson coming back into the fold.
Pearson was suspended for the final two games of the preseason and the first two games of the regular season for his hit on Oilers’ defenseman Brandon Davidson. Pearson is set to be a key member of the Kings’ top-6, but they will be without him for the first two games.
Schenn, 26, started the 2015-16 season in Philadelphia before being traded to Los Angeles in the Vincent Lecavalier deal. Schenn finished the season with four goals and 12 assists (16 points) in 72 games. Schenn adds depth to the Coyotes’ blueline, where he will likely battle with Kevin Connauton for the last spot in the opening night lineup.
After scoring 21 goals in just 51 games in 2014-15, the Wild were hoping for big things out of Zucker last season, but he never seemed to gain any traction. The 24-year-old winger struggled with just 13 goals and 10 assists (23 points) in 71 games, but the Wild we able to secure him for two more years at a very reasonable cap-hit.
Carrick, 24, has picked up 15 goals and 18 assists (33 points) in 50 games with the Marlies this season. He has yet to appear in an NHL game this season, but played in 16 last year, scoring one goal with one assist. Expect him to make his season debut tonight vs. the Blue Jackets.
