Overview

  • General manager Daniel Briere said Samuel Ersson is on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, making him unavailable for at least seven days.
  • Aleksei Kolosov was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley and is expected to dress as backup against Nashville under emergency conditions, per reporting.
  • Head coach Rick Tocchet said Ersson tweaked something while warming up Wednesday, which caused him to miss practice and be ruled out for Thursday.
  • Under IR rules, the earliest Ersson can return is next Thursday at Nashville, with Dan Vladař continuing as the No. 1 after a 1.81 GAA and .923 save percentage in five starts.
  • Kolosov has rebounded in the AHL with a 3-2-0 record, 2.60 GAA, .918 save percentage, and one shutout, and he could see action during this weekend’s back-to-back.
