Orlov was activated from the COVID-19 reserve list prior to Saturday's game but was held out. He will make his return to the lineup on Monday, skating on the third pairing with Nick Jensen.
Cernak has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but said that he's good-to-go following the morning skate. Cernak has one assist and a plus-4 rating in four games this season.
Coyle was banged up on Saturday and missed Sunday's practice but head coach Bruce Cassidy expects him to be available for Monday's rematch. Coyle has two goals and two assists (four points) in eight games this season.
Price allowed two goals on 25 shots in the Canadiens' win over the Flames last Thursday. Jake Allen gave him the night off on Saturday, so it's no surprise that Price will start the front-end of Montreal's back-to-back on Monday. The Habs have been one of the most impressive teams in the NHL so far and Price comes in having won two straight while stopping 46 of the last 50 shots (.920 SV%) that he's faced.
Dumba missed Sunday's rematch vs. the Avalanche and was placed on IR on Monday. Dumba is expected to miss an extended period of time, so this move frees up a roster spot for the Wild to recall some reinforcements from the taxi squad.
Anderson was removed from Saturday's game for precautionary reasons due to "flu-like symptoms."Anderson has reportedly tested negative for COVID-19 so that's not a concern and he could play Monday vs. the Canucks if he's feeling better.
Johnson has not been in the lineup for the last two games and was absent from practice on Sunday. The Rangers called him day-to-day and Tony DeAngelo was placed on waivers, so look for Anthony Bitetto to be in the lineup on Monday.
Blackwell played just 2:53 in the Rangers game vs. the Penguins on Saturday and will miss 7-10 days with an upper-body injury. With Blackwell coming out of the lineup on Monday, look for Julien Gauthier to draw back in.
Stephens has been out since January 23rd with a lower-body injury and is expected to be out until early-April. With Stephens out, Alexander Volkov is expected to remain a regular in the Lightning lineup.
McElhinney practiced on Saturday and Sunday after missing the first few weeks of the season on the COVID-19 protocol list. With an extended period of time on the sideline, it seems unlikely that McElhinney will start on Monday but he could make his season debut in the Lightning's back-to-back next Monday/Tuesday.
Foligno being added to the COVID-19 reserve list means that he will not be available for Sunday's rematch with the Avalanche. With him out, the Wild will need to recall someone from their taxi squad.
