Hagg will be back in the Panthers lineup on Tuesday.
Hagg was a healthy scratch in Nashville on Saturday but will replace Lucas Carlsson in the lineup on Tuesday. Hagg has picked up one assist in his first nine games since joining the Panthers on March 20th.
Lomberg (maintenance) will not play on Tuesday.
Lomberg has played in 10 straight games but will get a night off on Tuesday. Lomberg plays a rugged game, so some late-season maintenance will help keep him fresh. Maxim Mamin will replace him on the fourth line.
Line Change
Mamin will draw into the Panthers lineup on Tuesday.
Mamin was a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Ryan Lomberg (maintenance) in the lineup on Tuesday. Mamin, who has 10 points (5G / 5A) in 33 games this season, will skate on the fourth line with Eetu Luostarinen and Patric Hornqvist.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky will start Tuesday vs. the Ducks.
Malkin has been suspended for four games for cross-checking Mark Borowiecki.
Malkin is not eligible to play again until April 23rd in Detroit. Look for Jeff Carter to move up to centre the second line in Malkin's absence.
Doughty underwent wrist surgery on Monday and will miss the rest of the 2022 season.
Doughty has not played since March 7th and underwent wrist surgery on Monday, which will end his 2022 season. This is a huge blow for the Kings, who are currently third in the Pacific Division and trending towards a playoff spot. The Kings announced that Doughty is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for the start of the 2022-23 season.
The Jets have signed Daniel Torgersson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Jets selected Torgersson in the second-round (No.40 overall) of the 2020 NHL Draft. He appeared in a few SHL games over the last couple of seasons but spent most 2022 in Sweden's second division, scoring seven goals with 10 assists (17 points) in 40 games with AIK.
The Jets have signed Henri Nikkanen to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Jets selected Nikkanen in the fourth-round (No.113 overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft. Nikkanen spent 2022 with the Pelicans (Liiga), where he had 12 points (7G / 5A) in 60 games. He represented Finland in the 2021 World Juniors, scoring two goals with one assist in seven games.
Goalie Start
Hellebuyck led the Jets onto the ice for warmups.
The Kings have signed Francesco Pinelli to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Kings drafted Pinelli in the second-round (No.42 overall) of the 2021 NHL Draft. Pinelli has scored 22 goals with 37 assists (59 points) in 54 games with the Kitchener Rangers (OHL) this season.
Boeser (upper-body) will not play on Tuesday.
Boeser has missed the last three games but skated on Monday, will skate again tomorrow but will not play against Vegas. He could be back later in the week.
Pearson is expected to miss at least one week with an upper-body injury.
Pearson missed Saturday's game vs. the Sharks and likely will not play this week. Vasily Podkolzin will likely remain in the Canucks' top-6 while Pearson is out.
Stone (back) will travel to Vancouver and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Stone has been out since February 8th but has been on the ice for the last couple of sessions and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday. Stone is currently on LTIR and the Golden Knights have no cap space, so they will need to make some moves in order to activate him ahead of tomorrow's game.
MacEachern (upper-body) will miss at least the next two games.
MacEachern suffered an upper-body injury vs. the Wild on Friday, missed Saturday's game and will not travel on the Blues' two-game road trip. Jordan Kyrou replaced him on Saturday and will obviously remain in the lineup on Tuesday.
The Sharks have signed Nick Cicek to a two-year, entry-level contract.
The Coyotes have signed Nathan Smith to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Goalie Start

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.
