Eichel missed Saturday’s game in Toronto will an illness, but it looks like he will return to the Sabres lineup on Tuesday. Monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate to be sure, but all signs are pointing towards him returning.
Perron suffered the injury in Sunday’s win in Winnipeg. He will head back to California and is expected to miss the remaining four-games of the Ducks’ road-trip. Head coach Bruce Boudreau believes that Perron is week-to-week, so we may not see him on the ice for a few weeks. Expect Nick Ritchie to see increased playing time while Perron is out.
Murphy missed Saturday’s game in Minnesota, but will play Tuesday vs. the Sabres. Murphy has three assists in seven games since being recalled from Charlotte (AHL).
Perron suffered an upper-body injury in the Ducks win over the Jets on Sunday. He played just 5:07 TOI before retiring to the dressing room and his status for Tuesday’s game is in doubt. Consider him day-to-day until the Ducks announce further information.
Nystrom has been sidelined since January 26th, but will be back in the lineup tonight after spending the weekend on a conditioning stint with Milwaukee (AHL). Nystrom has seven goals and a minus-6 rating in 40 games this season.
Anderson allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Senators loss in Buffalo on Friday. Since returning to the Senators crease on March 10th, Anderson has gone 2-2-0 with a 2.73 GAA and .908 SV%. After Andrew Hammond started on Saturday, Anderson will get the nod tonight vs. the NHL-leading Washington Capitals. He has not faced the Caps this season and they surprisingly come in having lost three of their last five.
Boyes will miss his seventh straight games with an upper-body injury, but is expected to return Thursday vs. the Ducks. Boyes has eight goals and 14 assists (22 points) in 51 games this season.
Bozak has been sidelined since February 6th, but it looks like he will return Thursday vs. the Ducks. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday’s game—he has 31 points (10G / 21A) in 47 games this season.
Lundqvist allowed four goals on 47 shots in the Rangers loss in San Jose on Saturday. The wheels have fallen off for Lundqvist recently—he has allowed four goals in three-straight games and has gone 0-3-2 with a 3.97 GAA and .901 SV% in his last five starts. He is 1-1-0 with a 3.44 GAA and .889 SV% in his first two starts against the Panthers this season.
The Maple Leafs announced on Sunday that Komarov would return on Monday, but he will be scratched for a third straight game. Komarov underwent tests and the tests came back negative, so he will remain on a long-list of injured Maple Leafs' forwards.
Montoya stopped 27 of 28 shots in the Panthers win in Montreal last Tuesday. Montoya has gone 3-3-2 with a 2.22 GAA and .918 SV% since the All-Star break and tonight he will be making his 19th start of the season. Montoya is 7-3-0 with a 2.21 GAA and .920 SV% on the road this season and tonight he faces a Rangers team that has lost five of seven.
Greiss allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Islanders 3-0 loss in Dallas on Saturday. Since Jaroslav Halak got hurt, Greiss has lost four of five starts while posting a 2.55 GAA and .919 SV%. Tonight will be his first start against the Flyers, but his 17th on home ice. He has been very impressive at Barclays Center, going 11-3-3 with a 2.13 GAA and .930 SV% this season.
Gelinas suffered the injury in Friday’s game in Calgary and missed Sunday’s game in Edmonton. He is out indefinitely, so there is no timetable for his return. With Gelinas out, Chris Bigras and Andrew Bodnarchuk will skate on the Avs’ third paring.
MacKinnon was scratched from Sunday’s game with a knee injury and is listed as day-to-day. Thankfully for the Avalanche, they’re off until Thursday, so there’s a chance that MacKinnon could be available versus the Flyers.
Versteeg was injured while blocking a Dennis Seidenberg shot in the Kings’ 2-1 win over the Bruins on Saturday. He is travelling with the team, which is a good sign, but there is no guarantee that he will be in the lineup on Monday. Monitor his status during the morning skate.
Nystrom scored one goal in two games during his conditioning stint and could be set to return to the Predators lineup on Monday. Nystrom has been sidelined with a broken foot since January 26th.
Bourque had no points in two games with Milwaukee during his conditioning stint. He has appeared in four games with Milwaukee in the last month, failing to record a point. He has missed the last 50 games, but could finally get back into the lineup tonight vs. the Kings.
Hiller allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Flames loss in Buffalo back on March 3rd. He sat for the last eight games, but will return to the crease tonight in Toronto. Hiller is an ugly 3-7-1 with a 3.46 GAA and .886 SV% on the road this season, but did record a win vs. the Leafs, while stopping 33 of 36 back in early February.
Komarov missed the last two games, but will be back in the Toronto lineup on Monday vs. the Flames. Komarov has been held pointless in his last four games, but will hop right back onto the first line with Nikita Soshnikov out with an upper-body injury.
Soshnikov will be scratched from Monday’s game vs. the Flames due to a lower-body injury. Yet another injury for the Maple Leafs, who will thankfully get Leo Komarov back to replace Soshnikov. The rookie has five points (2G / 3A) in his first 11 NHL games.
