Ottawa Senators
Goaltender Matt Murray has been labelled day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Murray was not on the ice for team's gameday skate Tuesday, while Joey Daccord worked in the starter's net again after starting Monday against the Vancouver Canucks.
Murray was injured in warmups ahead of Sunday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs and did not dress Monday.
The Senators recalled goaltender Kevin Mandolese on an emergency basis.
Later in the day, it was announced Ottawa had claimed goaltender Anton Forsberg off waivers from the Winnipeg Jets.
“On account of recent injuries, Anton’s acquisition provides us with depth and stability at the goaltending position. He's a goaltender who’s athletic and positionally sound. His addition should prove beneficial for us," Sens general manager Pierre Dorion said Wednesday of the move.
Also on Wednesday the Sens announced they have signed 2018 draftee Angus Crookshank to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The deal is set to begin in the 2021-22 season.
