Toninato, 25, had one goal in three games with the Panthers during his call-up. Toninato's return to the AHL suggests that Noel Acciari will return to the lineup on Tuesday. Toninato has six points (4G / 2A) in 12 AHL games this season.
Crosby suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Blackhawks on Saturday and will not play Tuesday in New York and will likely miss Friday's game in New Jersey as well. Jared McCann moved up between Jake Guentzel and Alex Galchenyuk in Monday's practice, so look for him to skate there against the Rangers.
Kotkaniemi will miss his sixth consecutive game with a groin injury and the Habs maintain that he is day-to-day. Montreal doesn't play again until Friday/Saturday, so monitor Kotkaniemi's status as they week progresses towards their back-to-back.
Lewington has not recorded a point in five NHL games this season and has not played since October 16th. With Michal Kempny back in the fold, Lewington was sent to Hershey, where he had 15 points (3G / 12A) in 65 games last season.
Bayreuther, 25, was called up but did not play with the Stars over the weekend and was returned to Texas on Monday. Bayreuther has one goal and four assists (five points) in 11 AHL games this season.
Abdelkader suffered an injury late in Sunday's win over the Golden Knights and will be out until at least late-November/early-December. Givani Smith was called up from Grand Rapids (AHL) to replace Abdelkader in the Red Wings bottom-6.
Robinson has three goals and two assists in 14 AHL games this season. The 24-year-old comes up and could make his season debut on Tuesday. He has failed to record a point in 14 career NHL games.
Merzlikins went down to get some playing time with Cleveland but was called back up quicker than originally planned. Joonas Korpisalo struggled last week, so Merzlikins returns after one game and will start Tuesday.
As expected, Kivlenieks served as Joonas Korpisalo's backup the entire time and is swapping spots with Elvis Merzlikins after the weekend. Kivlenieks is back with Cleveland, where he is 5-1-2 with a 2.37 GAA and .909 SV% in seven games.
Nutivaara has missed the last two games and has been moved to IR to open up a roster spot so the Blue Jackets could recall Eric Robinson from Cleveland (AHL). Nutivaara is eligible to return whenever he is healthy but this move suggests he'll miss at least one more game.
Regula, who was acquired from the Red Wings for Brendan Perlini, has enjoyed a great start to the 2019-20 season. He has been paired with Ryan Merkley on the London Knights (OHL) first pair is currently fifth on the team with 15 points (7G / 8A) in 14 games.

Raanta allowed four goals on 43 shots in the Coyotes loss in Calgary last Tuesday. Raanta has lost two straight while allowing four goals in each game and posting a .899 SV%. Darcy Kuemper has outplayed Raanta but some strong outings will help him carve into the No.1's workload. He draws a tough matchup on Monday, as the Capitals come in on a six-game winning streak while averaging 5.00 goals per game.
Merzlikins was sent to Cleveland (AHL) late last week to get some playing time but returned quicker than originally planned because Joonas Korpisalo struggled in Colorado on Saturday. Merzlikins hasn't been great this year either, going 0-1-2 with a. 3.90 GAA and .882 SV%. The Canadiens are 5-3-0 with 3.50 goals per game in eight games in Montreal.
McGinn was not on the ice for the Hurricanes' morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Senators. McGinn doesn't bring a lot of offence to the table, collecting just four points (1G / 3A) in 17 games this season, so he shouldn't be considered for your rosters anyways.
Raanta allowed four goals on 43 shots in the Coyotes loss in Calgary last Tuesday. Raanta has lost two straight while allowing four goals in each game and posting a .899 SV%. Darcy Kuemper has outplayed Raanta but some strong outings will help him carve into the No.1's workload. He draws a tough matchup on Monday, as the Capitals come in on a six-game winning streak while averaging 5.00 goals per game.
Crosby was forced to leave Saturday's game vs. the Blackhawks with a lower-body injury and it seems as if he could miss Tuesday's game in New York. The Penguins have yet to release any information on Crosby's status but look for Jared McCann to skate in Crosby's spot if he can't play.
Krug was forced to leave Sunday's game vs. the Flyers with an upper-body injury and did not return. The Bruins recalled Urho Vaakanainen from Providence (AHL) on Monday, suggesting that Krug will not be available vs. the Panthers.
Tore Krug was hurt late in Sunday's game vs. the Flyers, so Vaakanainen's call-up suggests that Krug will miss Tuesday's game and the 20-year-old defenseman will make his season debut. Vaakanainen was a first-round pick (No.18 overall) in 2017 and has two assists in 15 games with Providence this season.
This is the second time that Smith has been called up. During his first tour with the Red Wings, Smith had no points with four shots but carried an impressive 63.3 CorsiFor% in three games.
