Keep updated on all the injury news and roster updates from around the NHL with daily Ice Chips.

Colorado Avalanche

Forward Marko Dano will make his Avalanche debut on Monday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. 

Dano was claimed off of waivers last week from the Winnipeg Jets. He has yet to play this season.

“I am grateful for the opportunity and hopefully I can help the team,” Dano said Monday.

The 23-year-old had two goals and one assist in 23 games with the Jets last season.
 


Toronto Maple Leafs

Monday's an off day for the Maple Leafs, but the team's AHL affiliate made a notable move, signing defenceman Frank Corrado to an AHL standard contract.

Corrado, 25, was a member of the Maple Leafs organization from 2015-17 and was a part of the Maple Leafs roster for the majority of the 2016-17 season before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Though Corrado was on the NHL roster in 2016-17 he appeared in only two games with the Maple Leafs, spending the rest of his time as a healthy scratch.

He was dealt to the Penguins at the 2017 trade deadline and went on to appear to games with them, none in the playoffs. He split last season between the NHL and AHL, appearing in five games with the Penguins. He had one goal and 14 points in 32 AHL contests last season.

Peters also wouldn’t announce his starter for Tuesday's game against the Canadiens.

Carolina Hurricanes

The team activated goaltender Scott Darling from injured reserve on Monday and assigned him to the AHL's Charlotte Checkers for a conditioning stint.

The 29-year-old has been out since suffering a lower-body injury in the preseason on Sept. 30 against the Nashville Predators. He struggled in his first year with the Hurricanes last season, posting a 13-21-7 record with a .888 save percentage and a 3.18 goals-against average.

The Hurricanes (4-3-1) claimed goaltender Curtis McElhinney off of waivers from the Toronto Maple Leafs shortly after Darling's injury. McElhinney has a 3-1 record with a .892 save percentage and a 2.76 goals-against average. Petr Mrazek, signed in the off-season to compete with Darling, has a 1-2-1 record with a .874 save percentage and a 3.06 GAA.

Darling carries a $4.15 million cap through the 2020-21 season.

Mrazek will start tonight against his former team, the Detroit Red Wings.


Los Angeles Kings

The Kings returned 2017 second-round pick Jaret Anderson-Dolan to the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL on Monday.

Anderson-Dolan, 19, had one assist and a minus-2 rating in five games with the Kings this season. The centre scored 40 goals and posted 91 points in 70 games with the Chiefs last season.

The Kings recalled defenceman Sean Walker from the AHL's Ontario Reign on Monday to fill the rookie's roster spot.

Ottawa Senators

Good news for the Senators on the injury front Monday as defenceman Cody Ceci and forwards Alex Formenton and Max McCormick took part in practice wearing regular jerseys.

Ceci has been out since Oct. 10 due to an upper-body injury, while Formenton has been sidelined by a concussion. Ceci said after the skate he would talk to the team's medical staff on Tuesday and decide whether he'll dress against the Boston Bruins.

Formenton has been cleared to return.

The team used the following lines in practice, per TSN's Brent Wallace:

Dzingel Tierney Stone
Boedker Duchene White
Formenton Smith Ryan
