Ness has appeared in 47 career NHL games (with the Islanders and Capitals) and has just one goal and five assists. The 29-year-old has one assist in four AHL games this season and is expected to replace Kyle Capobianco in the lineup on Monday.
Dermott has missed the first 13 games of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in May. Dermott will replace Kevin Gravel and skate with Justin Holl in his season debut. The 23-year-old blueliner had 17 points (4G / 13A) in 64 games last season.
Tarasenko left last Thursday’s game vs. Los Angels with an injury that we now know will require surgery. This is a devastating blow for the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Tarasenko has missed just 15 games over the last five years but will be out until at least late-March, effectively ending his 2019-20 campaign. The in-house replacement for Tarasenko appears to be Robert Thomas for now but with Tarasenko heading to LTIR, don’t be surprised if the Blues make a move for a winger.
Texier was forced to leave Saturday's game with a knee injury and is expected to be out until mid-November. Jakob Lilja is expected to replace Texier in the lineup on Wednesday.
Murray suffered a broken hand in the Blue Jackets loss to the Flyers on Saturday. Markus Nutivaara will replace him on Wednesday if he is able to return from his lower-body injury. Don't expect to see Murray until mid-to-late November.
Richardson will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury which means that Barrett Hayton will remain in the lineup on Monday. Richardson skated this morning which suggests he could be back for Wednesday's game vs. the Canadiens.
Kuemper allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Coyotes' loss to the Islanders last Thursday. It was the first time since March 21st (13 starts) that Kuemper has allowed more than two goals--a stretch where he was 7-5-2 with a 1.52 GAA, .949 SV% and two shutouts. Kuemper has been simply outstayed in the 2019 calendar year, ranking third in all major goalie categories--wins (26), GAA (2.02), SV% (.933) and shutouts (5).
Laughton has enjoyed a solid start to 2019-20, registering there assists in nine games before breaking his finger on Saturday. Tyler Pitlick replaced him on Sunday and will likely continue to do so over the next month.
Mayhew's return to the AHL suggests that one or both of Jordan Greenway and Kevin Fiala are good to go on the Wild's upcoming two-game road trip. Mathew performed well in his first taste of the NHL, scoring two goals in six games. He returns to Iowa where he had six points (3G / 3A) in four games before getting called up.
Beaudin has played in three straight games with the Senators while Artem Anisimov and Colin White are out and his "demotion" is likely just a paper move. The Senators are off until Saturday so they get some salary savings by sending Beaudin down for a few days but look for him to return for the game in Boston.
The Senators don't play again until Saturday so it is entirely possible that Chlapik returns to the Senators prior to their game in Boston. The 22-year-old bumped Bobby Ryan from the lineup on Sunday but failed to record a point while playing just 6:06 TOI. He has one goal in six games with Belleville.
Montour will miss his 13th straight game to open up the 2019-20 season but it looks like he is on-pace to make his season debut later this week. After tonight the Sabres are off until Friday, so monitor his status as the week moves along.
Hutton gave up six goals on 24 shots in the Sabres 6-2 loss to the Rangers last Thursday. The loss snapped an impressive six-game winning streak to start the season and even with the rough outing, Hutton still ranks ninth in GAA (2.27) and t-14th in SV% (.920). He could be in-tough on Monday night though. Arizona comes into play having won five of their last six while averaging 4.00 goals per game.
Zibanejad was forced to leave Sunday's game against the Bruins following a hit from Patrice Bergeron. Head coach David Quinn said that Zibanejad's injury "isn't a concussion" and added that it's just an "upper-body" issue and that he is "day-to-day." It looks like Zibanejad avoided serious injury but he remains questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lightning.
