Walker has put up strong AHL numbers over the years but hasn't been much of a factor at the NHL level. Over the last three years, he has scored two goals with two assists (four points) in 16 games with the Capitals and Blues. Look for him to remain in the AHL for most of 2021-22.
Buchnevich has taken his game to a new level over the last two seasons, averaging 24 goals and 39 assists (63 points) per 82 games in the two shortened seasons. Moving to St. Louis, Buchnevich becomes one of many unsigned RFA's who will be looking for a raise. Once signed, he'll likely replace Jaden Schwartz, who will be a UFA on July 28th.
Berggren was a second-round pick (No.33 overall pick) in 2018 and had a terrific 2021 season in the SHL. The 20-year-old led Skelleftea AIK with 45 points (12G / 33A) in 49 games and is set to come to North America in 2022.
Holl was originally considered questionable for Wednesday's game but reportedly responded well after Tuesday's practice and should be in the lineup in Ottawa. Holl has had a nice season as a top-4 defenseman, scoring two goals with 18 assists in 53 games.
Krug has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup tonight in Los Angles. Krug, who has 29 points (1G / 28A) in 48 games this season, will be back on the top pairing and top power-play unit.
Fowler was forced to leave Monday's game in St. Louis but will be available for the rematch on Wednesday. Fowler has scored two goals with four assists (six points) in his last 10 games.
