Greenway has been injured since the Wilds' first game of the season on October 20th due to an injured shoulder. The 25-year-old is coming off a 27-point season in 62 games in 2021-22 where he also picked up 69 PIMs.
DeSimone will make his NHL debut as Michael Stone was placed on the injured reserve. The undrafted 27-year-old will get his first taste of the NHL after putting up an impressive six points (1G/5A) and 12 PIMs in eight games played for the Calgary Wranglers of the AHL.
Smith has been out since October 28th due to an upper-body injury but will be back in the Bruins' lineup Monday vs St.Louis. In seven games so far this year, the 33-year-old has one goal and three points to go along with 10 shots while averaging a career-low 11:48 ATOI.
Greer will head to the press box Tuesday vs. St.Louis as Craig Smith steps back into the Bruins' lineup. The 25-year-old has been incredibly efficient when he is playing, putting up six points (3G/3A) and 19 PIMs while only playing 10:17 ATOI in Boston's bottom six.
The Stars' starter has been out since leaving a game on October 29th with a lower-body injury. He will not play Tuesday in Winnipeg but is still on course for a return according to his original timeline meaning the Stars will re-evaluate him after Tuesday's game and decide the next step from there. Oettinger has been on the ice and skating and hopes to be back as soon as possible as he is having an exceptional year, leading the NHL in both SV% (.952 SV%) and GAA (1.40).
Binnington gave up four goals on 29 shots in the Blues loss to the Islanders last Thursday. Binnington started the season 3-0-0 but has gone 0-4-0 with an ugly .828 SV% in his last four starts. Things likely won't get any better on Monday, as he gets set to face a Bruins team that is first in the NHL in goals per game (4.1).
With the return of Rasmus Ristolainen (lower-body), Egor Zamula will unluckily be the odd man out of the Flyers' lineup Tuesday. The 22-year-old has two points through his first nine games while collecting four shots on goal across only 13:27 ATOI.
Ullmark allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Bruins' loss in Toronto on Saturday. The loss snapped Ullmark's eight-game winning streak to start the season. He comes into Monday's game tied for eighth in GAA (2.16) and SV% (.929). He'll face a Blues team that has lost six in a row while scoring just 1.67 goals per game.
Ristolainen has been on the injured reserve with a lower-body injury since last playing Nov 2nd in Toronto. The 28-year-old will be hoping for much better results than his first four games of the season, as he is playing a career-low 17:20 ATOI and is a -4 plus/minus with zero points.
Skinner surrendered four goals on 43 shots in the Oilers loss to the Devils last Thursday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Skinner, who is now 2-2-0 with a 2.10 GAA (6th in the NHL) and .944 SV% (3rd). Tonight he'll face a Capitals team that has lost four in a row (0-2-2) while scoring just 1.75 goals per game.
Carlson will miss his fifth straight game with a lower-body injury. However, Carlson was on the ice in a regular jersey, which is a good sign that he could be available for Wednesday's game vs. the Penguins.
Orlov left Saturday's game with a lower-body injury and missed Sunday's practice. He'll be a game-time decision vs. the Oilers, so monitor his status as the Capitals hit the ice for warmups at 7:30 PM ET. His availability will be key for the Capitals, who will be without John Carlson for the fifth straight game.
Lindgren allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Capitals overtime loss to the Golden Knights last Tuesday. Lindgren has been solid this season, posting a .919 SV%, but has allowed three goals in all three starts. On Monday, he should be left on the waiver wire with a matchup vs. the Oilers and the Capitals without John Carlson and potentially Dmitry Orlov (game-time decision).
Semyon Varlamov was in the starter's crease at the Islanders' morning skate but Sorokin was the first goalie off, so expect Sorokin to start vs. the Flames.
