Kupari had two goals, three assists, 12 SOG, and six PIMs through 17 games with the Kings but will head back down to the Ontario Reign (AHL) again on loan. He had five goals, nine points and 22 PIMs in 11 games with Ontario prior to his promotion.

Kupari will head back to the Los Angeles Kings for a second time this season due to Viktor Arvidsson (personal) getting designated non-roster player status. Kupari collected two goals, three assists, six PIMs and 12 SOG in 16 games played this season. Prior to his call-up, he had five goals, and nine points with 22 PIMs through 11 games with Ontario (AHL).


Daws did not see any action as he backed up Vitek Vanecek for a game and will head back to Utica (AHL) after being reassigned there Thursday. Prior to his promotion, the 22-year-old netminder had a 3-4-1 record, a .906 SV% and a 2.46 GAA. He played in 25 games with the Devils last season, struggling with a .893 SV% and 3.11 GAA.

Daws will be called up to New Jersey for the first time this season and it appears he will back up Vitek Vanecek right away. Prior to his promotion, the 22-year-old netminder had a 3-4-1 record, a .906 SV% and a 2.46 GAA. He played in 25 games with the Devils last season, struggling with a .893 SV% and 3.11 GAA.

Daws has gone 1-3-0 with a. 2.41 GAA and .908 SV%. It's unclear how long he'll be with the Devils, but he's expected to start as Akira Schmid's backup on Saturday.

Kupari had six points (3G/3A) and was a +5 plus/minus for Ontario (AHL) in six contests prior to the call up.

Barron was acquired from the Rangers in the Andrew Copp trade and has scored one goal with one assist in five games since reporting to Manitoba. He could make his Jets debut on Thursday after being recalled and joining the team in Toronto.


Kupari was with the Kings for the start of the season, scoring three goals with six assists (nine points) in 37 games. Since returning to the AHL, he has scored five goals with three assists (eight points) in 15 games with the Reign.

With Mike Smith dealing with an illness, Skinner will serve as Mikko Koskinen's backup in Calgary. Skinner has gone 11-2-4 with a 2.24 GAA and .919 SV% in 18 games with Bakersfield this season.

With Mikko Koskinen returning from the COVID-19 protocol list, Skinner goes back to the AHL. Skinner is coming off of his first career shutout and has gone 6-6-0 with a 2.62 GAA and .913 SV% with the Oilers this season.

Mike Smith will start Tuesday vs. Vegas but Skinner will likely start Wednesday with Mikko Koskinen landing in COVID-19 protocol. Skinner has gone 8-0-2 with a 1.97 GAA and .928 SV% in 10 AHL games and 5-6-0 with a 2.85 GAA and .908 SV% in 12 NHL games this season.


Barron did not play during his most recent call-up and returns to the AHL, where he has six goals and three assists in 15 games.

With Kevin Labanc suspended for one game, Gregor will skate on a line with Tomas Hertl. Gregor has had a nice start to his season in the AHL, leading the Barracuda with 12 points (4G / 8A) in eight games.

Vilardi has not played since November 2nd but was activated from the COVID-19 protocol list and sent to the AHL yesterday. Rasmus Kupari has stepped up as the Kings' No.3 centre, so Vilardi can go back to the AHL and get back up to speed after a couple of weeks out of the lineup.

Daws started his 2021-22 season by stopping 25 of 27 shots in a win in his AHL debut. The 2020 third-round selection spent last season in Germany, where he was 4-6-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .897 SV%. There's no indication why Daws was called up because now the Devils have three goalies on the active roster.

Perfetti failed to record a point in his first two NHL games and gets reassigned to AHL where he can play top-6 minutes. Perfetti had nine goals and 17 assists (26 points) in 32 AHL games last year.
