Samsonov will return to the crease for the second straight contest after missing several games with a minor injury. The 27-year-old Samsonov was brilliant in his return, saving all 34 shots he faced for his third shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. The Maple Leafs enter action as +116 road underdogs on Monday against the Florida Panthers.
Cernak was held out of the lineup on Saturday due to missing a team meeting but will return to the ice on Monday against the Detroit Red Wings. Haydn Fleury will exit the lineup, allowing Cernak to make his return.

Jamie Drysdale will make his return from a multi-week absence due to an injury, prompting the Flyers to make Ginning a healthy scratch. Ginning had played seven straight games for the Flyers.

The Rangers are riding a five-game winning streak and will return to Shesterkin between the pipes after giving him the night off in an 8-5 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. Shesterkin has allowed three or more goals in three of his last four (3-1-0), but was stellar in his last outing, saving 38 of 40 shots (.950 SV%) in a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche. The league-leading Rangers enter action as -191 home favourites against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Tampa Bay will turn to Vasilevskiy between the pipes for the 13th time in the last 14 games.

Tampa Bay enters action as -184 home favourites against a Detroit Red Wings club coming off a 3-2 shootout loss to the Florida Panthers.
Johansson is battling a lower-body injury, making his status uncertain for Monday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings. That said, Johansson has only played once in the last 13 games and was unlikely to see any immediate action between the pipes.
Drysdale has not played since February 25th due to an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup on Monday against the New York Islanders. The 21-year-old Drysdale has four points (2G / 2A) in 17 games with the Flyers this season and is expected to play on the top powerplay unit on Monday.

The Flyers have lost four straight and will turn to Ersson between the pipes on Monday against the New York Islanders. Ersson has lost three in a row, allowing five or more goals two times, including five on 24 shots (.792 SV%) in his most recent outing, a disappointing 5-1 blowout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Flyers enter action as -114 home favourites.
Ceci missed Saturday's game with an illness but he's expected to play Monday vs. the Blues. Brett Kulak was hurt in Saturday's win, so there's a good chance he's the defenseman coming out of the lineup to make room for Ceci.
Kulak departed after just one shift, but head coach Kris Knoblauch said that he "appears to be OK" and that he will travel with the team to St. Louis for Monday's game. With Cody Ceci expected to return to the lineup vs. the Blues, the Oilers may sit Kulak to give him some additional time to heal.
