Forbort has not played since early March but could be nearing a return to action as he will join the Providence Bruins (AHL) for a conditioning loan. The 32-year-old Forbort has four points (0G / 4A), 66 hits, and 65 blocks in 35 games this season.
The Blue Jackets play their final game of the season on Tuesday and will likely turn to Greaves between the pipes. Greaves has struggled, allowing four or more goals in three straight (0-3-0), including six goals on 37 shots (.838 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 6-4 loss to the Nashville Predators. The Blue Jackets enter action as +224 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Flyers will turn to Ersson between the pipes in their final game of the season. Ersson has played superbly in his last two games, allowing only one total goal and recording a 20-save shutout in his last outing, a 1-0 victory over the New Jersey Devils. The Flyers need to win against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday and need help around the league to make the playoffs, but they enter action as -143 home favourites.
Mailloux was the 31st overall pick of the Canadiens in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old has played 70 games with the Laval Rocket in his first professional season, scoring 47 points (14G / 33A).
Tuch was a second-round pick (No.47 overall) in 2020 and spent four years at Boston University, where he had 10 goals and 20 assists (30 points) in 39 games this season.
The Oilers have lost two straight and will turn to Skinner for consecutive starts for the first time this month. Skinner has played well lately, allowing three or fewer goals in six straight (4-1-1), but was unvictorious in his most recent outing, allowing two goals on 26 shots (.923 SV%) in a 3-1 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The Oilers enter action on Monday as significant -540 home favourites against the San Jose Sharks.
Moverare played just 8:31 in Saturday's game against the Ducks and will be the odd-man out on Monday. His absence makes way for the return of Anze Kopitar (undisclosed).
Kopitar did not play on Saturday but will return on Monday against the Minnesota Wild. Kopitar has four points (0G / 2A) in his last three games and 70 points (26G / 44A) in 79 games this season.
Malenstyn logged just under nine minutes in ice-time prior to the injury and was unable to return. We should expect to receive an update tomorrow on his availability for the Capitals' all-important final regular season game in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
The Kings continue their fight for playoff positioning on Monday and will turn to Talbot between the pipes against the Minnesota Wild. Talbot has played well lately, allowing three or fewer goals in four straight (3-1-0), including saving 22 of 23 shots (.957 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames. The Kings enter action as -168 home favourites.
Thompson suffered the injury in the first period and was unable to return. He logged just over three minutes in ice time. The injury effectively brings an end to Thompson's season, as the Sabres have no regular season games remaining after tonight's contest in Tampa Bay.
Greig is battling an illness and his status for Monday's game against the New York Rangers was up in the air. Greig has three points (2G / 1A) in his last 11 games and has been held off the scoresheet in nine of those contests.
Clarke will be the odd-man out on Monday when the Devils play their final game of the regular season. Clarke played just three games with the Devils this season and did not register a point.
Aston-Reese will take a seat on Monday as Andrew Copp is set to return from an upper-body injury. Aston-Reese has played only three games with the Red Wings this season and is yet to register a point.
Zohorna's absence makes way for the return of Jansen Harkins, who has been out since early March with a hand injury. Zohorna has four goals and three assists in 33 games this season.
Copp played only 13:48 time-on-ice in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Washington Capitals and has missed two games since, but is set to return to the lineup on Monday. The 29-year-old forward has been limited to only one point (1G / 0A) in his last eight contests.
MacLean did not participate in the morning skate on Monday and will be a game-time decision vs. New Jersey. The 24-year-old will be replaced by Simon Holmstrom if he is unable to go tonight. Through 30 games played, the rookie has three goals, seven points, 25 SOG, 11 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus.
The Predators play their final game of the season on Monday and will turn to Saros between the pipes. Saros has allowed four goals in two straight but saved 31 of 35 shots (.886 SV%) in his most recent outing, a 6-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Predators enter action as +100 road underdogs.
