The 26-year-old has accounted for two points, 25 shots, 53 hits and a minus-10 rating over 26 appearances with the big club this season. It remains to be seen if he will be in the lineup Thursday in Colorado.

Impact Kiersted has appeared in just four NHL games this season, in which he notched one assist, four shots and five blocks while averaging 13:42 of ice time. The decision to bring Kierster up from the minors could be an indication that Quinn Hughes won't be back in time from the Olympics to face Colorado on Thursday.
