NHL Hockey Player News

With Adam Boqvist out due to COVID-19 protocol, Carlsson will make his season debut on Tuesday. Carlsson had one assist in six games with Chicago last season.

Dermott has been held pointless in the first seven games of the season and will be replaced by Mikko Lehtonen on Tuesday.

Lehtonen has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Travis Dermott in the lineup on Tuesday. Lehtonen averaged just 7:38 TOI in his first two NHL games but he dressed as a seventh D-man in those instances--he should see more usage on Tuesday.

Spezza has played in the first seven games of the season and even recorded an assist in each of his last two games but will be scratched on Tuesday. With Spezza sitting, Travis Boyd will make his Maple Leafs debut on Tuesday.

Barabanov appeared in the last two games but will be replaced by Joey Anderson in the lineup Tuesday in Calgary.

Anderson was acquired from the Devils this offseason in a trade that sent Andreas Johnsson the other way. After sitting as a healthy scratch for the first seven games of the season, Anderson will replace Alexander Barabanov on the fourth line on Tuesday. Anderson has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 52 career NHL games.

Boyd appeared in 85 NHL games with the Capitals since 2018 but will make his Maple Leafs debut in Calgary. The 27-year-old will replace Jason Spezza in the lineup and skate on the Maple Leafs fourth line.

Campbell was shaken up late in Sunday's win over the Flames after Matthew Tkachuk landed on his leg. Head coach Sheldon Keefe delivered the bad news on Tuesday, announcing that his No.2 netmidner will miss a couple of "weeks." With Campbell out, Michael Hutchinson will serve as Frederik Andersen's backup for the foreseeable future.

Pateryn cleared waivers on Tuesday afternoon and he will come out of the lineup vs. the Sharks. Ryan Graves will be back in to replace the recently acquired defenseman.

The Avalanche are loaded with NHL-ready defensemen and Timmins looks like he's seventh on the depth chart, so this could be a regular occurrence for the 22-year-old. Erik Johnson will replace him on Tuesday.

The Avalanche did not have much of an update on Calvert's stats other than saying that Kiefer Sherwood will replace him on the Avalanche fourth line on Tuesday.

Sherwood will replace Matt Calvert, who is day-to-day with an injury. The 25-year-old winger had one assist in 10 games with the Ducks last season, giving up 13 points (6G / 7A) in 60 career NHL games to-date.

Graves was a surprising scratch in Anaheim on Sunday but will replace Greg Pateryn in the lineup on Tuesday. Graves enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2020 but hasn't been the same player without playing next to Cale Makar to start 2021.

Johnson was a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Conor Timmins in the lineup on Tuesday. Johnson, who played just 11:47 TOI in his season debut, will skate with Ryan Graves on the third pairing.

Kevin Lankinen has started the last three games but the Blackhawks will come back to Subban for the first time since the season opener. He was lit up for five goals on 33 shots in a loss to the Lightning that night and even if tonight's matchup is a little easier, Subban as an incredibly risky option.

Andersen allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Oilers last Friday. Jack Campbell started Sunday but was hurt in the win over the Flames, so Andersen could become an even bigger workhorse for the nest few weeks. After a rough start to the season, Andersen has gone 2-1-0 while stopping 76 of 81 shots (.938 SV%) in his last three starts. Tonight he faces a Calgary team that Andersen was 0-1-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .911 SV% against last year.

Koekkoek has been steady on the Oilers' blueline this season, so he'll be a bit of a surprise scratch on Tuesday. With Koekkoek sitting, Caleb Jones will draw back into the lineup for the first time since January 16th.

Ennis has had a slow start to the season, failing to pick up a point in his first four games. On Tuesday he cleared waivers and will go to the taxi squad, so look for Patrick Russell to make his season debut in Ennis' spot in the bottom-6.

After sitting out of the season opener, Shore dressed in the last six games but will be scratched and go to the taxi squad on Tuesday. With Shore out, Jujhar Khaira will draw back onto the Oilers fourth line in Winnipeg.

Jones has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Slater Koekkoek Tuesday in Winnipeg. Jones had one assist and a minus-4 rating while playing 15:50 ATOI in the first three games of the season.
