Hronek has split his 2019 season between the AHL and NHL, amassing 10 points (3G / 7A) in 23 games with the Red Wings and 23 points (7G / 16A) in 28 games with the Griffins. Hronek has the look of a future star in Detroit but it remains to be seen if he will be in the lineup on Saturday afternoon.
Schenn played in eight games with the Ducks earlier this season but has been in the AHL since being traded to the Canucks. Since the trade, Schenn, who is not known for his offence, has five points (1G / 4A) in seven games. He should make his Canucks debut on the weekend with both Chris Tanev and Alexander Edler out.
MacEachern, 24, was a third-round pick (No.67 overall) in 2012 and is expected to make his NHL debut on Thursday. MacEachern has nine goals and six assists (15 points) in 31 games with the Rampage.
The Canucks traded Anders Nilsson to the Senators for Mike McKenna and waived McKenna with the purpose of sending him to the AHL to replace Demko when they called him up. Despite losing McKenna on waivers to Philadelphia, Demko still comes up as the Canucks’ No.2 netminder. The 2014 second-round pick has gone 8-5-0 wit a 2.58 GAA and .911 SV% in 16 games with the Comets this season.
With Mike Green out for 3-5 weeks, Hronek comes up from Grand Rapids for the second time this season. Hronek had three points (1G / 2A) in six games with the Red Wings at the start of the season and was even more impressive with 18 points (5G / 13A) in 20 AHL games. Hronek could play big minutes while Green is out thanks to a lack of depth on the Red Wings’ blueline.
Brisebois did not appear in a game with the Canucks during his call-up and returns to the AHL, where he has two points (1G / 1A) in seven games. Jalen Chatfield was called up to take Brisebois’ spot on the roster.
Brisebois, 21, has recorded one goal and one assist in seven games with Utica this season. Brisebois could make his NHL debut on Thursday with Alex Edler and Chris Tanev getting injured on Wednesday.
Hronek had three points (1G / 2A) in his first six games with the Red Wings. With Trevor Daley and Jonathan Ericsson back and Mike Green potentially returning on Friday, Hronek will head to the AHL where he had 39 points (11G / 28A) in 67 games last year.
Demko has appeared in seven games with Utica this season and has gone 4-2-0 with a 1.85 GAA and .939 SV%. There’s no word on why Demko has been recalled, but he could serve as the backup tonight if one of the Canucks goalies are ailing.
Chytil averaged just 6:20 TOI in his first two NHL games and served as a healthy scratch vs. the Canadiens on Sunday. The 18-year-old will head to Hartford to work on his game—Adam Cracknell will take his spot on the roster after being claimed off of waivers from Dallas.
Oleksiak, 23, has picked up a single assist in eight games with Texas (AHL) and two assists in 11 games with the Stars. He will likely serve as an extra defenseman on Tuesday.
Oleksiak had no points in four games during his recall. Oleksiak’s return to the AHL suggests that John Klingberg will be back on Thursday.
Oleksiak served as a healthy scratch in two of the last three games. He heads back to Texas where he has four assists in six games this season. Jyrki Jokipakka has been recalled.
Oleksiak, 22, has one goal and seven assists (8 points) in 31 games with Dallas this season. With Trevor Daley sidelined, Oleksiak will likely get an full-time opportunity on the Stars blue line.
Oleksiak has registered one goal and seven assists in 31 games with the Stars this season. He will likely be the first defenseman recalled after the All Star break.
Oleksiak, 22, has one goal and three assists in 22 games during his time with the Stars this season. He had three assists in four games with Texas.
Oleksiak, 21, has recorded four points (1G / 3A) in 21 games with the Stars this season. He spent just one game with Texas before being recalled.
Oleksiak has three goals and two assists in 22 games with Texas this season. He appeared in 16 games on Dallas' blueline last season where he had two assists and a minus-5 rating. He will be fighting with Kevin Connauton for playing time.
The guess is Aaron Rome (foot) is close to returning.
