Spurgeon was placed on long term injured reserve Oct. 25 and would be eligible to return when the Wild host the New York Rangers on Saturday. "He's progressing," coach Dean Evason said Wednesday. "We'll see. Obviously, this is his first four or five drills and then he got off it was plannedso we'll just move along and see how it progresses and hopefully get him in sooner rather than later. "Evason said forward Frederick Gaudreau, who did not travel on Minnesota's recent three game road trip due to an upper body injury, has yet to start skating and is out indefinitely. Jessi PiercePhiladelphia FlyersCal Petersen was recalled by the Flyers from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Thursday. The move comes after Philadelphia goalie Carter Hart sustained a mid body injury 10 minutes into a 5 2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday. Hart allowed two goals on five shots prior to exiting. Flyers coach John Tortorella did not have an update after the game, and the team was off Thursday.

Chicago BlackhawksTaylor Hall skated on his own Wednesday for the first time since the forward reaggravated a left shoulder injury against the Vegas Golden Knights on Oct. 21. 'We're going to have a gym day Thursday , and a little bit more video stuff and then get back on the ice Friday," Blackhawks coach Luke Richardson said. "So, we're hoping he'll either skate tomorrow for another test and try it with us on Friday or just do the gym day with the guys and try it with us on Friday and see how it goes. 'Hall initially sustained the injury when he was hit by Boston Bruins defenseman Brandon Carlo in the first minute of the second period of Chicago's 3 1 loss Oct. 11.

Ukko Pekka Luukkonen started in goal against the Flyers and made 38 saves. "I'm very happy for him and very happy for us," Buffalo coach Don Granato said of Levi. "I think we'll have a better goaltender coming back by virtue of the experience he gained through this process. It's nice to see him back, it's nice to see 'Upie' playing well as well. He took advantage of the opportunity, he was ready for it, and he's looked more comfortable each day out. I'm pretty happy with both those guys, the direction they're going. "Levi started each of the first four games of the season and is 1 3 0 with a 3. 26 goals against average and. 892 save percentage.

" Tom GulittiBoston BruinsMatthew Poitras will remain with the Bruins and not be returned to Guelph of the Ontario Hockey League. The 19 year old forward has five points three goals, two assists in nine games. He played his 10th game on Thursday against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Boston, which means this season will count against the three year, entry level contract $870,000 average annual value he signed with the Bruins on May 5. "His play, he earned it," Boston coach Jim Montgomery said. "We're comfortable with him. There's still no guarantees he's here the rest of the year, but we feel that the way he's progressed that, for the time being, he's going to be a Bruin. "Poitras was a second round pick No. 54 in the 2022 NHL Draft. "We see the hockey IQ, we see the skill, we see the vision," Montgomery said. "But if you don't compete, don't have natural second and third effort, especially at a young age, it's hard to stay in this league. And that's been the quality that has been the best quality as to why we think he's earned this. "Boston placed Matt Grzelcyk on long term injured reserve Wednesday with an upper body injury. He left during the first period of a 3 2 overtime win against the Florida Panthers on Monday, and Montgomery said afterward that the defenseman would be out "a couple weeks. "By being placed on long term injured reserve, Grzelcyk will be out a minimum of 24 days and 10 games. He is eligible to return at the New York Rangers on Nov. 25.

Ukko Pekka Luukkonen made 24 saves.'I thought Luukkonen was real good https://www.hurricanesprostore.com/jordan-martinook-jersey, ' Buffalo coach Don Granato said. 'I thought we cleared out a lot again. Shot selection was easier for him to read. They know they can play better. There were plenty of good things, and also plenty of things that we can make adjustments on.'Tony DeAngelo gave Carolina a 1 0 lead with a power play goal at 12:43 of the first period on a wrist shot from above the right circle that deflected off Jordan Greenway.Tuch's fourth of the season tied it 1 1 at 3:51 of the second when the forward poked the puck off the stick of Seth Jarvis in the low slot.

BUF CAR: Skjei scores goal against Sabres Skjei made it 2 1 at 7:54 of the third, taking a cross ice pass from Aho for a one timer in the right circle.'I thought we did a good job of shutting them down, ' Skjei said. 'Obviously, we didn't capitalize on all our chances, but when it counted, we beared down.'Dahlin retrieved his own chip off the left side boards on a Sabres power play and beat Raanta with a wrist shot past the glove to tie the game 2 2 at 9:23.' It was a rolling puck; there's always excuses you can make. I can do a little bit better there, ' Raanta said. 'Other than that, I felt my movement was good, tracking the puck and a couple diving saves.'Luukkonen rebounded for Buffalo from his previous start when he made 19 saves in a 5 1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday.'It wasn't a perfect game by any means Griffin Mendel Jersey, but I think we locked it down defensively to get the one point at least, ' Luukkonen said. 'We didn't give them much. A couple times, when they got the puck rolling in the zone, that's when they're most dangerous. That's at least a positive.'NOTES: Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen is out indefinitely after being diagnosed with a blood clot issue. He is expected to make a full recovery. Necas scored his ninth NHL overtime goal, second in Hurricanes Hartford Whalers franchise history only to Aho 10. Carolina has scored a power play goal in five straight games.
