Staal continues to battle injuries in his young career. The former 2nd overall pick has 12 goals and 18 points and was likely to see a boost in offensive minutes with Crosby sidelined. Expect a further update on his status.

Crosby was expected to miss two games for precautionary measures but likely misses more time. As soon as there is a further update on his status, we will write about it right here.

Carkner plays for the first time this season and should help the Swedish rookie further adapt. He could drop the gloves with enforcer Steve McIntyre.
