Goalie Start
Binnington was the first goalie off of the ice at the Blues morning skate.
Gambrell (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday vs. the Wild.
Gambrell tweaked something in the morning skate and will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. Minnesota, so the Senators will need to call-up a forward from the AHL.
Chabot (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Chabot is expected to play after completing the morning skate but is officially considered a "game-time decision." Expect Chabot to be back on the top pairing and top power-play unit vs. the Wild.
Goalie Start
Forsberg will start Tuesday vs. the Wild.
Line Change
Acciari is expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Acciari had one assist while playing 12:07 ATOI in his first two since returning from injury but is expected to come out of the lineup on Tuesday. Acciari will be replaced by Maxim Mamin, who returns from an undisclosed injury.
Mamin (undisclosed) will return to the Panthers lineup on Tuesday.
Mamin missed seven games with an undisclosed injury but will play Tuesday vs. the Predators. Mamin was on the top line with Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe at the Panthers' morning skate and comes into Tuesday with five goals and four assists (nine points) in 23 games this season.

Berube will start Tuesday vs. the Maple Leafs.
Murray (personal) will not be available on Tuesday.
Murray and his wife welcomed a new baby this morning, so Filip Gustavsson is expected to serve as Anton Forsberg's backup vs. the Wild. Expect Murray to be available for Saturday's game vs. Montreal.
The Senators have recalled Filip Gustavsson from Belleville (AHL).
Gustavsson stopped 31 of 33 shots in the Senators' loss to the Rangers on Sunday. With Matt Murray (personal) unavailable on Tuesday, Gustavsson will likely serve as Anton Forsberg's backup vs. the Wild.
The Rangers have sent Zac Jones to Hartford (AHL).
Jones played in five straight games with the Rangers before being a healthy scratch in Ottawa on Sunday. Patrik Nemeth (personal) replaced him in the lineup against the Senators.
Muzzin (upper-body) remained in Montreal for observation on Monday.
Muzzin left Monday's game vs. the Canadiens after landing awkwardly on his head/neck following a collision. Muzzin remained in Montreal as the team left for Columbus, so look for either Rasmus Sandin to re-enter the lineup or for Ilya Lyubushkin to make his Maple Leafs debut vs. the Blue Jackets.
Varlamov cleared COVID-19 protocol and will backup on Tuesday.
Varlamov will serve as Ilya Sorokin's backup in Seattle on Tuesday and should start one of their back-to-back games over the weekend. Varlamov missed four games while in COVID-19 protocol, Sorokin went 1-2-1 with a .902 SV% in that stretch.
The Maple Leafs have acquired Carter Hutton from the Coyotes for future considerations.
Hutton recently cleared waivers, so he will be sent to the Toronto Marlies (AHL) immediately. Hutton struggled in his only three starts of the season, allowing 15 goals on 58 shots (.741 SV%).
Sandin is a healthy scratch on Monday.
Line Change
Soucy will draw back into the Kraken lineup on Monday.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
