Overview
- Edmonton created a short‑term roster spot by placing defenseman Jake Walman on injured reserve after signing forward Jack Roslovic to a one‑year, $1.5 million deal.
- The Oilers’ move is framed as roster flexibility, with Walman’s timeline unclear despite his recent return to practice and his new seven‑year contract reported earlier in the week.
- Florida defenseman Dmitry Kulikov left Thursday’s win with an apparent right‑arm injury and did not return, with reports indicating he may need surgery.
- The Panthers improved to 3-0-0, continuing a strong start despite mounting injuries on a blue line that still features multiple veteran options.
- Carolina beat Philadelphia 4-3 in overtime on Seth Jarvis’s winner after a late Flyers goal was overturned for goalie interference on Travis Sanheim, leaving Philadelphia with one point.
