Harrold has missed the last four games and has not played since October 22. He has no points and a minus-6 rating through nine games. Jon Merrill was recalled from Albany to fill-in for Harrold.
Schneider has had a strong start to the season, but the Devils 25th ranked offence have held him to just one win. Schneider has a 2.14 GAA and .915 SV%, he will look to pick up his second win of the season tonight against the Wild, after a short stint on IR. The Wild's offence isn't much better (21st), but they rank 6th in team GAA.
Orlov has not appear in a game with the Capitals but has earned six points (one goal, five assists) in six games with Hershey this season.
McMillan has been recalled because a number of players are nursing minor-injuries, if any of them are unavailable tonight then McMillan would get the call. He has two goals and four assists in seven games with Iowa (AHL).
Bolland was injured in a collision with Zack Kassian in the early stages of the second period tonight. Maple Leafs head coach said that the cut on Bolland's leg is similar to Erik Karlsson's injury last season. Karlsson missed 10-weeks with a three-quarters severed achilles tendon last season - however that was considered an extremely quick and shocking recovery. Expect a full update from the Maple Leafs tomorrow, for now Bolland is out indefinitely.

Hutton was given a 3-0 lead on Thursday, but he couldn't maintain it allowing four goals on 25 shots in the shootout loss. He will have the toughest challenge to-date when he takes on the Kings tonight.
On Wednesday, Quick gave up three goals on 20 shots but still walked away with the overtime win against the Sharks. The win was his eighth of the season to go along with a 2.56 GAA and .903 SV%. His numbers are still not where his owners would like them, but he should make for a good start tonight vs. Nashville.
Bolland was injured in a collision with Canucks forward Zack Kassian two minutes into the second period. He could not put any weight on his leg as he left the ice. It was a scary looking incident a-la Matt Cooke on Erik Karlsson last season. This would be a huge blow to the Maple Leafs lineup if he misses and extended period of time. Bolland had six goals and four assists in 14 games.
Mattias Tedenby will enter the lineup in Elias' place.
Bishop stopped all 31 shots that he faced for his first shutout of the season. He has won three of his last four starts, including allowing just four goals in his last three games. Bishop will have a test tonight with the St. Louis Blues coming to town.
It was reported by multiple sources that Steve Mason would start tonight but now it will be Emery. He allowed four goals on 15 shots in a relief effort last night. Emery has yet to win a game and has a 5.08 GAA and .846 SV% this season.
Neuvirth stopped 38 of 41 shots in a loss to the Canucks on Monday. WIth Braden Holtby being inconsistent through the first month of the season, some strong starts should earn Neuvirth some more playing time. He has a great matchup tonight with the Panthers in town.
Clemmensen will make his first start of the season for the Panthers, he made two starts for the San Antonio Rampage (AHL) going 1-1-0 with a 3.50 GAA and .894 SV%. The Panthers would like to have given this start to Tim Thomas but he is still dealing with a leg injury. The Capitals hung seven goals on the Flyers last night, so Clemmensen doesn't look like a strong spot-start tonight.
Luongo turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Wednesday's loss to the Red Wings. All-in-all it was a good performance by Luongo, but the game-winner was a weak wrister from the blueline that he could not see. Thins don't get any easier for Bobby Lu tonight with the Maple Leafs in town.
Reimer is 2-0 with a 0.50 GAA and .988 SV% with a shutout in his last two starts. The Maple Leafs have the best problem right now with both their netminders playing at a high level. Reimer has a 1.99 GAA and .949 SV% on the season, but has a tough mathchup vs. the red-hot Sedin's and the Canucks tonight.
Tonight, Neal will miss his 14th consecutive game with an upper-body injury. The Penguins are 9-4-0 without Neal, so they will not rush him back.
Lecavalier left the game after his fight with Steve Oleksy in the third period. He has a “facial contusion,” but no lost teeth as some outlets have reported. Flyers GM Paul Holmgren says Lecavalier is more sore on side of his face.
We will go ahead and call Bishop likely, but will have to wait until 6:30 p.m for warm-up confirmation. Bishop stopped all 31 shots that he faced for his first shutout of the season. He has won three of his last four starts, including allowing just four goals in his last three games. Bishop will have a test tonight with the St. Louis Blues coming to town.
Burns will miss his sixth straight game tonight. He continues to skate on his own, but has not joined his teammates. Consider him questionable for Tuesday.
