Frank Vatrano - Removed from non-roster listVatrano (personal) was activated from the non-roster list Saturday.

ImpactVatrano missed Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Colorado to attend the birth of his child. He will likely occupy a middle-six role and see time on the second power-play combination versus the Kings on Sunday. Vatrano has one assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in three appearances this season. His return will probably bump Ross Johnston from the lineup.

ImpactHarkins was recalled Friday and saw 10:11 of ice time, managing one shot on goal, one hit and a blocked shot. He could return Sunday as the Ducks face LA, depending on the injured status of Isac Lundstrom, who missed Friday's game with an upper-body injury.

ImpactToews will travel with the Avalanche on their upcoming road trip, which includes clashes in Seattle on Tuesday and Utah on Thursday in addition to Sunday's game, so even though he's not quite ready to return, the defenseman does seem to be close. When Toews is healthy, he will likely play on the top pairing alongside Cale Makar. Samuel Girard is projected to be paired with Makar on Sunday.

ImpactKahkonen has arrived in Denver after settling his work visa issue. Colorado claimed the 28-year-old netminder off waivers from Winnipeg on Oct. 11. He could get a chance to see playing time soon because of the struggles of Alexandar Georgiev and Justus Annunen this season.
