Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the emergency basis means it doesn't count against the post-deadline recall cap (which they've used two of four of)?

emergency does not count against the 4 call ups, no.

 

There is an exception to the four players allowed to be recalled. Teams may use emergency recalls at any time. An emergency recall is allowed when a roster emergency exists. That is defined as the team falling below 12 forwards or six defensemen or two goaltenders that are healthy and available to play. So if the team is left with eleven healthy forwards, they may recall a forward on an emergency recall.
