The New Jersey Devils will get Nico Hischier back against the New York Rangers on Tuesday night, the team announced.

Hischier missed the last 24 games with a concussion and broken nose after being struck in the visor by a puck Feb. 27. He underwent surgery in early March to repair a frontal sinus fracture.

The 22-year-old captain also missed time earlier this season due to a leg injury he suffered during the offseason. Hischier has two goals and one assist in five games this campaign.

The 22-year-old has only appeared in 14 games with the Canadiens this season, spending the majority of the campaign on the team's taxi squad. He's accumulated three assists in 2020-21.

The Senators traded defensemen Mike Reilly and Braydon Coburn to the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders, respectively, on Sunday.

The Canadiens selected Mete with the 100th pick in 2016. He's amassed four goals and 30 assists in 185 career games.

The Los Angeles Kings are starting to gauge whether or not there is interest for Alex Iafallo as the trade deadline approaches.

"We're told that Kings GM Rob Blake for the first time began taking calls on Alex Iafollo judging his availability on the market and it seems like one of those things that's going to go down to the wire," reported TSN's Frank Seravalli on Thursday's edition of "Insider Trading." "These two sides are going to continue to try to hammer away at an extension."

Iafallo, 27, is a pending unrestricted free agent. He's in the final season of a two-year pact that carries an average annual value of $2.45 million. He's spent his entire career with the Kings since signing with the club in 2017 after completing his time at the University of Minnesota Duluth.

The winger ranks third on the Kings this season in goals (9) and points (23). He's collected 50 goals and 74 assists in 264 career games.

The Vancouver Canucks signed forward Tanner Pearson to a three-year contract extension with an average annual value of $3.25 million, the team announced Thursday.

The contract will include a full no-trade clause in the first year, a modified seven-team no-trade clause in the second year, and no protection in the third year, reports The Athletic's Thomas Drance.

The two sides also agreed the club will protect Pearson in the upcoming expansion draft even though his contract doesn't formally require it, Drance added.

"Tanner is a veteran who's won a Stanley Cup and leads by example," general manager Jim Benning said. "He plays a complete game and provides invaluable leadership experience to our core young players. We are very pleased for Tanner and his family to continue his career as a member of the Vancouver Canucks."

The Canucks acquired Pearson from the Pittsburgh Penguins at the 2019 trade deadline. He's totaled 36 goals and 32 assists in 121 career games with the Canucks.

Originally selected with the 30th pick in the 2012 NHL Draft by the Los Angeles Kings, the winger has amassed 114 goals and 112 assists in 490 career games.

Henrik Lundqvist might end up suiting up for the Washington Capitals after all.

The veteran goaltender has been out for the entire season after undergoing open-heart surgery in early January. Lundqvist indicated prior to the surgery he won't play this year, but it appears things may have changed as his recovery has progressed.

"Henrik Lundqvist has very quietly continued to skate, he is intent on resuming his career after undergoing open-heart surgery so long as his health allows," TSN's Frank Seravalli reported on Tuesday's edition of "Insider Trading." "He's awaiting word from doctors this week, a critical appointment that will determine his near-term and long-term future. The Washington Capitals, while everything would have to go right, aren't ruling out a return for Henrik Lundqvist this season."

The 39-year-old signed a one-year, $1.5-million contract with the Capitals after he was bought out by the New York Rangers in the offseason.

The former Vezina Trophy winner was initially brought in to complement Ilya Samsonov. In his absence, rookie goalie Vitek Vanecek has appeared in 26 games this season.

The Capitals are currently in first place in the East Division with a 25-9-4 record.
