Los Angeles Kings

Alex Iafallo was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury Tuesday.
The forward left late in the third period of a 5-4 overtime win against the Detroit Red Wings on Monday. He had an assist to extend his season-opening point streak to four games (two goals, three assists) before the injury. It was his 100th NHL assist.
He had 37 points (17 goals, 20 assists) in 79 games last season and has 173 points (73 goals, 100 assists) in 365 NHL games, all with the Kings.

The defenseman played two games with Ontario and did not have a point. He played 19 games with the Kings last season and had two assists while averaging 16:20 of ice time. -- Dan Rosen

Boston Bruins

Anton Stralman will make his season debut for the Bruins against the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; TSN5, RDS, NESN, ESPN+, SN NOW).
The defenseman signed a one-year, $1 million contract on Oct. 12 after he was in Bruins training camp on a professional tryout contract. He was unable to play in Boston's first three games because of visa issues.
Stralman is expected to skate on the third pair with Jakub Zboril.
Stralman, 36, had 23 points (eight goals, 15 assists) in 74 games with the Arizona Coyotes last season. He has 293 points (63 goals, 230 assists) in 930 NHL games.

Philadelphia Flyers

Rasmus Ristolainen was placed on injured reserve Monday because of a lower-body injury.
The defenseman was out the first two games of the season with an undisclosed injury. Ristolainen left practice early Oct. 12, the day before the season opener, but coach John Tortorella said the injury was something that was lingering.
Ristolainen is with the Flyers (2-0-0) on their three-game road trip that starts at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday (7 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN NOW), but Tortorella said he wasn't sure if Ristolainen would play any of the games. Philadelphia visits the Florida Panthers on Wednesday and the Predators on Saturday.
Ristolainen had 16 points (two goals, 14 assists) and averaged 21:26 of ice time in 66 games last season.
The Flyers recalled forward Zack MacEwen and defenseman Louie Belpedio from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Monday. MacEwen had nine points (three goals, six assists) in 75 games last season. Belpedio last played in the NHL in 2020-21 with the Minnesota Wild.
Forward Cam Atkinson (upper body), who also missed the first two games, is not on the trip. --Adam Kimelman
