Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs have recalled forwards Egor Korshkov and Mason Marchment from the Toronto Marlies on Sunday morning.
Korshkov started playing for the Marlies in the playoffs last season where he played nine games for the team. This season, he has played 34 games and has recorded 13 goals and seven assists.
Korshkov was drafted in the second round by the Leafs in 2016.
Marchment played for the Marlies in 2015 and 2016 before being traded to the Orlando Solar Bears where he played for a year before coming back to the Marlies. The Leafs called him up last month where he played three games for the team before returning back to the Marlies. In the 24 games he's played for the Marlies so far this season, Marchment has scored 13 goals and has made five assists.
The Leafs also announced late Sunday afternoon that Andreas Johnsson has been placed on the injured reserve list.
This comes after Johnsson suffered a knee injury in the Feb. 13 game against the Dallas Stars. As per Kristen Shilton's tweet, Johnsson is expected to be out of the lineup for at least eight weeks following his knee surgery.
New Jersey Devils
Nico Hischier will be in the NJ Devils' lineup tonight in their game against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Hischier endured a knee injury in the first period of the Feb. 1 game against the Dallas Stars and has been ruled out of the Devils' past six games. Hischier is projected to be playing center with Jesper Bratt and Kyle Palmieri tonight.
Mackenzie Blackwood will also be making a return to the lineup today and will start in the Devils' net. Blackwood sustained an upper-body injury last month in a Jan. 7 game against the New York Islanders which has caused him to miss 15 games.
This season, Blackwood has started 57 games for the Devils and has had a .914 save percentage.
Winnipeg Jets
Andrei Chibisov will be making his NHL debut with the Winnipeg Jets in tonight's game against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Chibisov has been playing for AHL team Manitoba Moose this season where he has recorded seven goals and 17 assists in the 48 games that he has played. After playing seven years for the KHL and recording 20 points in the 2018-19 season, the Jets signed him to a one-year, entry-level contract last June.
Ottawa Senators
The Ottawa Senators have recalled Andreas Englund from the Belleville Senators.
The 24-year-old defenseman has played a total of 21 games for the NHL team, with 12 of those games played this season.
He was drafted in the second round by the Sens in 2014 and was a 40th overall pick.
Calgary Flames
The Calgary Flames gave up eight goals to Chicago last night despite being all even in strength. This makes the Flames winless in their last five games, four in which were in regulation.
In today's practice skate, Derek Ryan was out sick. Mikael Backlund was also out sick and as a result, Mark Jankowski was skating in his place.
The lines for today's practice were as follows:
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Mangiapane-Jankowski-Tkachuk
Lucic-Bennett-Dube
Rinaldo-Rieder-Robinson
Hanifin-Andersson
Brodie-Stone
Kylington-Davidson

Talbot
Columbus Blue Jackets
The Columbus Blue Jackets have placed right wing Cam Atkinson on the injured reserve list after suffering an ankle injury in the Feb. 8 game against the Colorado Avalanche.
The Blue Jackets have called up Kole Sherwood from AHL's Cleveland Monsters to play in his place. He has played 34 games for the Monsters this season and has recorded eight goals and three assists.
Sherwood has also played in five NHL games for the Blue Jackets in the past two years.
St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues have activated Oskar Sundqvist from the injured reserve list and has sent Troy Brouwer to the San Antonio Rampage ahead of Sunday's game.
Sundqvist sustained a lower-body injury in the Jan. 27 game against the Vancouver Canucks and the team has gone 2-4-2 in the eight games that he has missed.
