Moysevich was drafted in the third round of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft by the Golden Knights and has earned a three-year, entry-level contract. The 21-year-old goalie has a 2.41 GAA and .917 SV% this season in 10 appearances (5-3-0) with St. Petersburg SKA-VMF (Rus-VHL).

Svechkov, currently in his second NHL season, was the 19th-overall pick of the Predators in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old forward is averaging 11:56 time-on-ice and has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 58 games this season.

With Yaroslav Askarov (lower body) back at practice and seemingly ready to return, the Sharks have reassigned Brossoit to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL). The 33-year-old Brossoit played one game for the Sharks during his call-up, his first NHL action since the 2023-24 season, but struggled in the outing, allowing six goals on 23 shots (.739 SV%).

Ciernik was a fourth-round pick of the Philadelphia Flyers that has spent most of the previous few seasons playing in Sweden. The 21-year-old German forward scored five points (2G / 3A) in 21 games with Nybro Vikings IF (Swe-1) this season.

Sandin-Pellikka has not played since the Red Wings acquired Justin Faulk in a trade, spending nearly the last three weeks as a healthy scratch. The 21-year-old Sandin-Pellikka has 19 points (6G / 13A) in his first NHL season and will get a chance to see some playing time in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL).

Reaves was injured in a fight early in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. The 39-year-old veteran forward stayed on the bench for most of the game, but did not play, and will be out week-to-week. Reaves is averaging 7:48 time-on-ice, recording 37 penalty minutes and three goals in 50 games this season.

Seattle will be without Winterton for an undetermined amount of time as he tends to personal matters. The 22-yera-old forward is averaging 11:47 time-on-ice and has 18 points (4G / 14A) in 62 games this season.

Stolarz suffered an upper-body injury during warmups before Saturday's game and did not play, but has been cleared for their upcoming game on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. That said, the Maple Leafs recalled Dennis Hildeby from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) for precautionary reasons.

Askarov has not played in nearly two weeks, but is nearing a return after practicing on Monday. The 23-year-old Askarov has had an inconsistent 2025-26 season, but the Sharks will be eager to get him back in the crease if, at the very least, just to switch things up after going 2-4-0 in his absence.

Balinskis has not played in nearly two weeks and will be sidelined for several more, effectively ending his 2025-26 season due to an undisclosed injury. The 29-year-old Latvian defenseman had 15 points (5G / 10A) in 54 games this season.

Mikkola left Friday's loss to the Flames with a lower-body injury after colliding with Ryan Strome in the third period. Mikkola went down to the ice clutching his left knee and had to be helped off of the ice. Head coach Paul Maurice has indicated that Mikkola will be out for the next several weeks, effectively ending his 2025-26 season.

Samoskevich did not play in Florida's previous game and is expected to miss at least a few more outings. The 23-year-old Samoskevich is averaging 14:15 time-on-ice, recording 123 hits, 139 shots, and 23 pints (6G / 17A) in 66 games this season.

Larkin has been sidelined since suffering a lower-body injury on March 6th, but could return to the lineup as soon as Tuesday against the Ottawa Senators. The Red Wings have stayed afloat without Larkin, going 3-3-1, but will be eager for him to return and add some much needed offense. The 29-year-old Larkin has 55 pints (28G / 27A) in 63 games this season.

With Dennis Gilbert (upper body) out of the lineup, the Senators will turn to Thomson for his season debut on Monday against the New York Rangers. The 25-year-old Thomson has nine blocks, 23 hits and five assists in 18 career NHL games, but has not played in the league since a two-game stint with Ottawa in 2022-23.

On the front end of a back-to-back, amid a tight race for a Wild Card spot in an ultra-tight Eastern Conference, the Senators will turn to Reimer on Monday against the New York Rangers. The 38-year-old goalie has played well in limited action, including saving 17 of 19 shots in his most recent outing, a 3-2 win over the New York Islanders. Reimer has allowed two or fewer goals in four of his last five games (4-1-0), posting a 1.81 GAA and .898 SV%. The Senators enter Monday's contest as -184 road favourites against a Rangers team that extended their losing streak to four games (0-3-1) in yesterday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

Desnoyers has been excellent in his third season in the QMJHL, scoring 78 points (22G / 56A) through 45 games. The 18-year-old forward was Utah's fourth-overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.

Juuso Parssinen will draw into New York's lineup on Monday against the Ottawa Senators, sending Brodzinski to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Brodzinski is averaging 11:03 time-on-ice and has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 45 games this season.
