Semyon Varlamov was in the crease in the Islanders' previous game and fell to 0-2-1 since Patrick Roy took over as coach, contrasting Sorokin's impressive 3-1-0 record in that span. Sorokin has played exceptionally in his last two outings, allowing four total goals and boasting a .929 SV%. The 28-year-old Sorokin will return to the crease on Tuesday in a favourable matchup against a low-scoring Seattle Kraken team (2.73 GF / GP) that was defeated 3-1 by the New Jersey Devils last night.

Forsberg has not played since January 11th due to a groin injury but will likely return to the crease on Tuesday evening. The Senators are riding a three-game winning streak courtesy of Joonas Korpisalo and will attempt to extend that in a favourable matchup as -179 home favourites against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Forsberg has a 3.55 GAA and .889 SV% through 16 games this season (7-8-0).

Romanov played only 13:34 time on ice on Thursday and returned to the ice on Monday for the morning skate after not playing on Saturday. Romanov has three points (1G / 2A), 11 shots, and eight hits in 51 games and will be a game-time decision to return on Tuesday.

Power did not complete practice on Monday, leaving early because of an undisclosed injury. After receiving imaging and further evaluations later in the day, he will be out on a week-to-week basis. The 21-year-old Power has 18 points (2G / 16A) in 51 games this season.

Whitecloud sat out Thursday's game but will return to the lineup on Monday against the Wild. He'll skate alongside Nicolas Hague on the team's third defensive pairing.

Stone missed practice over the weekend due to the illness but is good to go for Monday's game against Minnesota. Stone has been able to stay healthy and enjoy a productive year with the Golden Knights, scoring 15 goals and adding 36 assists in 52 games.

Rempal was recalled to take the place of Paul Cotter (illness) in the lineup for Monday's game against the Wild. Rempal has two goals in four games with the Golden Knights this season.

Cotter was a late scratch for Monday's game, with Vegas only announcing his absence at the start of warmups. Cotter has six goals and 13 assists in 52 games this season.

Dumoulin suffered the injury late in the first period and was unable to return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury following the conclusion of Monday's game.

Deslauriers will be the odd-man out on Monday as the Flyers are opting to dress seven defensemen. Deslauriers has no goals and three assists in 46 games this season.

Zamula will re-enter the lineup after sitting out Saturday, and will presumably reclaim his role on the Flyers' first power-play unit. Zamula has five goals and ten assists in 42 games this season.

Staal will enter the lineup in place of Rasmus Ristolainen (upper-body). Staal has one goal and one assist in 18 games this season.

Ristolainen will sit for the second time in three games, this time due to an upper-body injury. Marc Staal will enter the lineup in his place.

Daccord will maintain his hold on the Kraken crease on Monday as Philip Grubauer is yet to make an appearance since returning from a lower-body injury on January 24th, though that will likely come to an end when the Kraken travel to Long Island on Tuesday for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Daccord was unfortunate to pick up the loss his last time out, stopping 35 of the 38 shots he faced as Seattle fell to the Flyers by a score of 3-2. He has enjoyed one of the biggest breakout campaigns across the NHL this season, posting a .921 SV% and a 2.34 GAA across 35 appearances.

O'Brien will be the odd-man out on Monday as Adam Ruzicka is set to make his Coyotes debut. O'Brien has three goals and five assists in 49 games this season.

Foerster is dealing with a lower-body injury and will sit out Monday's game against the Arizona Coyotes. He was spotted in a walking boot after Saturday's game against the Seattle Kraken. The 22-year-old Foerster has three goals and eight shots in his last four games while playing predominantly on a line with Ryan Poehling and Noah Cates.

Stevens and the Red Wings have agreed to mutually part ways which has led to the 27-year-old to clear waivers and have his contract terminated. The center was a fifth-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft (125th) by the St. Louis Blues and had 11 points (3G/8A) in 31 games played with Grand Rapids (AHL) this season.
