Hanley is expected to make his Flames debut Thursday at Tampa Bay, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Hanley played 32 games for the Stars before being claimed off waivers by Calgary on Tuesday, registering three assists with 36 hits and 32 blocked shots. The 32-year-old averaged 13:42 of ice time for Dallas and is expected to be on the third defensive pairing with Brayden Pachal for the Flames against the Lightning on Thursday.

Fehervary (lower body) will remain out of the lineup Thursday in Pittsburgh, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Fehervary skated at morning practice but will miss his eighth straight game. The defenseman has two goals and 12 points in 47 games this season. He could return as early as Saturday versus Chicago and replace Ethan Bear or Alexander Alexeyev in the lineup.

Timmins (illness) was moved to long-term injured reserve Thursday.

Timmins has played only 16 games in the 2023-24 campaign, registering one goal and five assists. The 25-year-old has averaged 15:45 of ice time over that stretch. He potentially could be back if the Leafs make a serious playoff push, but don't expect much production from him if he's able to get healthy.

Seeler (lower body) is week-to-week after taking a shot in his left foot/ankle area Monday versus St. Louis, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Seeler will miss his first game of the season Thursday versus Florida. He inked a four-year contract extension with the Flyers on Wednesday after being the subject of some trade rumors. He has one goal, 11 assists, 112 hits and 184 blocked shots in 63 appearances this season.

Forsling agreed to terms on an eight-year, $46 million contract with Florida on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Forsling is on exactly the same pace as he was last season when he set personal bests in goals (13) and assists (28), so he should be capable of replicating those numbers once this season is complete. The 27-year-old blueliner doesn't see significant power-play opportunities, so the bulk of his production has to come at even strength. Still, with a long-term deal in hand, Forsling should continue to offer decent mid-range value for fantasy players.

The Maple Leafs acquired Edmundson from the Capitals on Thursday in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick and a 2025 fifth-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

Edmundson had played in 44 games with the Capitals this season, recording one goal and five assists. The 30-year-old will look to bring some physicality to Toronto, as he's logged 59 hits and 49 blocked shots this season. He will likely slide into the third defensive pairing for the Leafs.

Guenette was recalled from AHL Belleville on Thursday.

Guenette has played two games with the Senators this season, picking up four hits and adding one shot on net. The defenseman had five goals and 29 points in 49 AHL appearances before his recall. He could enter the lineup for Thomas Chabot (undisclosed), who will be a game-time decision versus LA on Thursday.

Lindholm (lower body) will not be available Thursday against Toronto, but he's inching closer to a return, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

Lindholm has been a solid defensive piece for the Bruins all year, recording one goal and 18 assists while posting a respectable plus-19 rating through 56 contests. The 30-year-old has played heavy minutes this year averaging 23:42 per game. Look for him to slot into a top-four role upon his return.

Trouba (lower body) will not skate Thursday.

Trouba has played in every game besides two thus far in 2023-24. The 30-year-old will have some time to rest as the Rangers don't play until Saturday against the Blues. He has recorded three goals and 19 assists on the year while also providing a ton of physicality with 165 hits and 170 blocks.

Forbort is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury and will not be in the lineup versus Toronto on Thursday, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

Forbort has missed four of the last five games, but he was previously considered a healthy scratch. He has four assists in 35 games this season. He has been serving as the Bruins' seventh defenseman of late.
