Joslin gets back into the lineup and will skate on the fourth line tonight. He scored a goal and an assist in 31 games.
Line Change
Anthony Stewart will be a healthy scratch
Stewart draws out for tonight's game. He has nine goals and 19 points in 65 games.
Steve Mason (lacerated finger) not quite ready.
Mason is still not healthy enough to backup; he probably misses the rest of the week.

#CBJ G Curtis Sanford will start vs. Edmonton on Wednesday.
In 12 career starts against the Oilers, Sanford has a 7-3-1 record with a 2.49 GAA and .908 SV%.
Same lineup for the Rangers tonight, which means no Ryan Callahan or Michael Del Zotto.
Del Zotto needs to rest his sore hip in order to get back to 100 percent. Through 65 games, he has seven goals and 35 points.
Same lineup for the Rangers tonight, which means no Ryan Callahan or Michael Del Zotto.
Callahan remains banged up and should rest until fully healed. Through 64 games, he scored 26 goals and 48 points.
RW Derek Dorsett not on ice, either.
Sounds like Dorsett will miss a few more games. Through 65 games, he has 10 goals and six assists with 192 PIM.

#CBJ captain Rick Nash not practicing with team today in Edmonton.
Probably a maintenance day for the Blue Jackets' captain. Nash has 24 goals and 47 points in 69 games.
Call up / Send down
The #Coyotes have assigned defenseman David Rundblad to the Portland Pirates (AHL).
Rundblad heads back to the minors where he will play every game. He has three assists in six games.
Lightning announces it signed 2011's 1st-round pick Vladislav Namestnikov to a three-year entry-level deal.
Namestnikov likely contends for a roster spot during next season's training camp. The Russian expatriate scored 22 goals and 70 points in 60 games with the London Knights of the OHL.

No word on if Sbisa can play tomorrow. He has four goals and 21 points in 69 games.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
