Vrana will miss Monday's game vs. the Kings for personal reasons, so look for Joe Veleno to draw back into the lineup to replace him. Filip Zadina will skate on the second line with Vrana out.

Bertuzzi left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, believed to be his hand, and will miss at least one month. Filip Zadina will draw into the lineup to replace Bertuzzi on Monday, and Dominik Kubalik will skate on the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.

Husso will likely get the start Monday against the Los Angeles Kings at home. The Red Wing's $14,250,000 offseason acquisition enjoyed a perfect debut with the Wings Friday, stopping 29 of 29 Montreal shots on way to his fourth career shutout in a 3-0 victory. He will look to continue his domination of the crease Monday and keep the Red Wings' surprising undefeated record in tact.

Kuemper gets the nod Monday at home against the winless Vancouver Canucks. After struggling in an opening night loss, the 11-year veteran stood on his head Saturday vs Montreal, stopping 21 of 22 shots (.955 SV%) on way to his first win as a member of the Capitals. He will look to continue his early run of success as he improves on his .902 SV% in his third start of the season.

Kallgren will get his first start of the 2022-23 season Monday against Arizona after being called up Saturday due an injury to Matt Murray. The 26-year-old struggled in limited action last season, winning 8 games with a .888 SV% and 3.31 GAA through 14 GP in his rookie campaign.

Fleury will likely draw the start Monday as Minnesota hosts the defending Stanley Cup Champions at home. It has been a nightmarish start to 2022-23 for Fleury. After allowing seven goals on 35 shots last Thursday, he followed it up by getting pulled on four goals on 14 shots Saturday. The timing could not be worse for the 37-year-old to draw one of the tougher matchups in the NHL as he looks to return to midseason form.

Belpedio likely won't play but gives the Flyers and extra defenseman for their three-game road-trip. The Flyers moved Rasmus Ristolainen to IR to create room for him.

Ristolainen missed the first two games of the season, and moving him to IR opened up a roster spot for the Flyers to call up Louie Belpedio from Lehigh Valley (AHL) for the Flyers' three-game road trip.

Kallgren will likely get his first start of the 2022-23 season Monday against Arizona after being called up Saturday due an injury to Matt Murray. The 26-year-old struggled in limited action last season, winning 8 games with a .888 SV% and 3.31 GAA through 14 GP in his rookie campaign.

The Capitals announced that Kuznetsov will not participate in the morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Canucks. If Kuznetsov can't play, Connor McMichael will likely make his season debut.

Primeau will serve as Sam Montembeault's backup on Monday with Jake Allen (parental leave) unavailable. Primeau allowed six goals and 38 shots in his season debut with Laval.

Allen and his wife are expecting a baby, so he will sit out of Monday's game vs. the Penguins. With Allen unavailable, Cayden Primeau was recalled from Laval (AHL) to serve as Sam Montembeault's backup.

Montembeault will get his second start in as many games after Montreal announced Jake Allen would not be available for Monday's game due to parental leave. The 25-year-old netminder struggled in his only start of the season, losing 3-1 to Washington while stopping 26 of 29 shots with little offensive help. He will look to get his first win of the season Monday against Pittsburgh.

Timmins has had an atrocious time trying to stay healthy since being drafted No.32 overall in 2017. Last season he was limited to just six games and is hurt just two games in 2022-23. Consider him questionable to play Monday until the Coyotes provide more details on his status.

Bertuzzi left after logging 8:14 TOI and registering an assist and two shots on goal. The Red Wings were off on Sunday, so there was no update on his status, so consider him questionable to play Monday vs. the Kings.

Shaw was a fourth-round pick in 2017 and has appeared in three career NHL games (all in 2022). After posting 52 points (19G / 33A) in 62 AHL games last year, Shaw has one goal in two games to start this season.

With Brandon Carlo (upper-body) going on IR on Sunday, Renouf was recalled from the AHL and is expected to be in the lineup on Monday. The 28-year-old blueliner has registered three assists in just 23 NHL games since turning pro in 2016.

Carlo left Saturday's game against Arizona with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Bruins moved him to IR on Sunday, meaning he'll miss at least three games. Dan Renouf was recalled from Providence (AHL) to replace Carlo in the lineup on Monday.

Marchand took part in practice for the first time on Sunday, which was a great sign that he could be available ahead of schedule in recovery. He's still not close to returning to game action, but he may miss the minimum amount of time on LTIR (10 games or 24 days).

Nylander missed Sunday's practice due to illness and is questionable to play Monday. With Nylander not available, the Maple Leafs recalled Nick Robertson and he skated on the second line with John Tavares and Denis Malgin. Monitor Nylander's status during the Maple Leafs' morning skate on Monday.
