Bogosian will miss 4-to-6 weeks with a lower-body injury.
Bogosian suffered a lower-body injury in practice on Wednesday and will miss at least one month. With Bogosian out, the Lightning recalled Andrej Sustr from Syracuse (AHL) to take his place.
The Kraken placed Marcus Johansson (lower-body) on IR.
Johansson suffered a lower-body injury in the Kraken's season opener and was placed on IR on Wednesday. Johansson had no points and one shot in 16:13 TOI. Kole Lind was recalled from Charlotte (AHL) to take Johansson's spot on the roster.
Johansson (COVID-19) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's season opener.
Johansson was placed in COVID-19 protocol on Monday but has been cleared to play in the first game in franchise history. It is difficult to project who Johansson will skate with, but with Calle Jarnkrok, Joonas Donskoi and Jared McCann all out, you have to assume he will play a prominent role.
Johansson is in COVID-19 protocol and questionable for Seattle's season opener on Tuesday.
Boldy is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks with a fractured left ankle.
Boldy suffered a fractured ankle in Thursday's preseason game vs. the Blackhawks. The injury will keep him sidelined until early-to-mid November and will likely force him to start the season in the AHL to get back up to speed.
Boldy will undergo an MRI after suffering a lower-body injury in Thursday's preseason game.
Boldy appeared to be on track to make the Wild out of training camp but now it looks like he could miss some time to start the season. The injury could open the door for fellow prospect Marco Rossi to make the team, but it's more likely that recent waiver pickup Rem Pitlick claims that spot.
The Kings have signed Cal Petersen to a three-year contract extension worth $15.0 million ($5.0M AAV).
The Wild have signed Kirill Kaprizov to a five-year contract worth $45.0 million ($9.0M AAV).
There was some concern whether or not Kaprizov would return to the Wild after signing a deal in the KHL this summer. However, the Wild were able to get him under contract for the next five years--presumably the best years of his career. At the age of 23-years-old, he dazzled in his rookie season, scoring 27 goals with 24 assists (51 points) in 55 games, winning the Calder Trophy. Coming into his second season, Kaprizov is a threat to finish at a point-per-game pace and should be considered one of the top LW options in fantasy.
The Senators have re-signed Filip Gustavsson to a two-year contract.
