- Brennan Othmann was called up from AHL Hartford, traveled with the team, and is drawing into the lineup, including second-unit power-play work.
- Vincent Trocheck is still on long-term injured reserve, has not resumed skating, and his return is not imminent despite an early November eligibility window.
- Sullivan elevated Taylor Raddysh to the top line with Artemi Panarin and J.T. Miller to spread scoring and improve two-way reliability on the road.
