Sedlak has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Oliver Bjorkstrand in the lineup on Tuesday. Sedlak has just one assist and is averaging 8:25 TOI/GM in 10 games this season.
Bjorkstrand played just 5:33 TOI in Sunday’s game in Anaheim and will come out of the lineup tonight. Lukas Sedlak will replace him on the fourth line.
Bobrovsky allowed four goals on 29 shots in the Blue Jackets loss in Los Angeles on Saturday. In his last four starts, Bobrovsky is 1-3-0 with a 3.01 GAA and .904 SV%. Tonight he faces a Stars team that is 3-0-1 in their last four games, but come in on the tail-end of a back-to-back.
Vasilevskiy made 34 saves on 35 shots in the Lightning’s win in Montreal on Saturday. Vasilevskiy has been absolutely outstanding this season and comes in having won four of his last five starts while posting a 1.80 GAA, .936 SV% and one shutout. He is also 4-2-0 with a 1.99 GAA and .935 SV% on home-ice and the Lightning will host an Oilers team that played last night.
Andersen stopped all 31 shots that he faced in the Maple Leafs shutout win in Pittsburgh on Saturday. The win snapped a brief two-game losing skid for Andersen, who has won three of his last five while posting a 1.62 GAA, .946 SV% and one shutout. The 29-year-old is surprisingly 2-5-0 in seven starts at Scotiabank Arena this season.
Howard allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Red Wings 4-3 win over the Devils last Thursday. Jonathan Bernier gave him a breather on Saturday, so look for Howard to start vs. the Canucks tonight. After starting the season 0-2-2 with a 3.99 GAA and .883 SV%, Howie is now 3-3-0 with a 2.51 GAA and .929 SV% in his last six outings.
Price surrendered four goals on 36 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Lightning on Saturday. Antti Niemi started the front-end of the Habs back-to-back last night in Brooklyn, so Price will start tonight vs. the Rangers. The 31-year-old is 2-0-2 with a 1.97 GAA, .930 SV% and one shutout on the road this season.
Pickard allowed four goals on 35 shots in the Flyers loss in San Jose on Saturday. With Michal Neuvirth on IR and Brian Elliott getting hurt in Sunday’s practice, Pickard will start his second straight game. The Coyotes are on-fire and Pickard has a 4.51 GAA and .851 SV% this season, so he is not an ideal spot-start option.
Elliott was injured in a collision with Travis Konecny in Sunday’s practice and won’t play Monday in Arizona. The Flyers announced that he will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Philadelphia.
Ritchie was listed as a game-time decision, but will not play in Boston. Ritchie will be replaced by Justin Dowling.
Andersson was the Rangers No.7 overall pick in 2017 and had two points (1G / 1A) in a brief seven-game stint with the Rangers last season. He started this year in Hartford and has picked up 12 points (4G / 8A) to rank second on the team in points through 14 games.
Howden was forced to leave Sunday’s game vs. Buffalo with an upper-body injury and was not on the ice for Monday’s practice. The Rangers will recall Lias Andersson from Hartford (AHL) to take Howeden’s spot on Tuesday.
Lemieux was given 17 penalty minutes and ejected on the hit and will miss Friday’s game vs. the Avalanche and Sunday’s game vs. the Devils as well. Jack Roslovic will likely replace him in the Jets’ lineup.
Schenn suffered and upper-body injury on Saturday and missed Monday’s practice. Blues head coach Mike Yeo listed Schenn as questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Hurricanes. Ryan O’Reilly moved up to the top line with Schenn not on the ice this morning.
Pacioretty has been sidelined for the last four games, but could play Tuesday in Toronto. Pacioretty has had a slow start to the season, scoring just two goals on 26 shots in 10 games before getting hurt. Monitor his status during Tuesday’s morning skate.
Mrazek was not available for Saturday’s game in Vegas and is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury. The Hurricanes are carrying three goalies, so Curtis McElhinney will backup Scott Darling on Tuesday.
Connauton missed the last two games with an illness, but is expected to return to the Coyotes lineup on Monday. Connauton has two assists and 24 shots in 10 goals this season.
Hutchinson was 1-1-2 with a 4.17 GAA and .839 SV% in four games with the Panthers, but has been returned to the AHL after Roberto Luongo returned on Saturday. Hutchinson was 17-5-1 with a 2.08 GAA and .935 SV% in 26 AHL games.
