TSN: Darren Dreger said the Ottawa Senators are hopeful goaltender Linus Ullmark can return to the lineup later this week as GM Steve Staois continues to look for ways to improve their roster.

“And teams started calling as soon as word got out that this trade was happening. They had already started contacting Calgary about Zach Whitecloud. $2.75 million cap hit. He has two years left on his contract. This is a player who is attractive to a lot of different teams looking for a stay-at-home right defenseman, and he will continue to generate interest. And there is a possibility that Calgary could flip him between now and the trade deadline.”
Quick hits on the Flames, Hurricanes, Wild, Kings and Maple Leafs
David Pagnotta from the fourth period: The Calgary Flames are receiving interest in forwards Blake Coleman, Nazem Kadri and Ryan Lomberg. The Stars have some interest in Coleman and are on his trade list. Teams also contacted the Flames about Zach Whitecloud after acquiring him from the Golden Knights.
The Carolina Hurricanes have made Jesperi Kotkaniemi available. If they could land a big name, defenseman Alexander Nikishin could be made available.
The Minnesota Wild have shown some interest in Kotkaniemi, but he is not their first choice.
The Los Angeles Kings are looking for scoring help and are currently not interested in a coaching change during the season.
