Deslauriers will slot in for Travis Konecny, who is out with undisclosed injury. Desulauriers will skate with Garnet Hathaway and Carl Grundstrom on the Flyers fourth line.

Konecny is battling an upper-body injury and will be unavailable for Monday's game in Toronto. The 28-year-old forward is coming off a two-point performance (1G / 1A) in a 3-1 win over the Boston Bruins, giving him 18 points (9G / 9A) in his last 13 games.

Golden Knights head coach Bruce Cassidy stated on Monday that Shea Theodore, Marner, and one other unnamed player were dealing with an illness, though he did not comment on their status for Tuesday's game in Buffalo.

The Maple Leafs have come out of the Olympic break on a miserable three-game losing streak (0-3-0) and will hope for a better result on Monday, with Stolarz tending the twine against the Philadelphia Flyers. Stolarz played well in relief of Joseph Woll in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, saving all 12 shots he faced. That said, the 32-year-old Stolarz only has one win in his last seven appearances (1-4-0), posting an ugly 4.38 GAA and .867 SV%. The Maple Leafs enter Monday's contest as -123 home favourites against a Flyers team on a two-game winning streak.

Howard makes a swift return to Bakersfield after being recalled earlier in the day. The 21-year-old scored five points (2G / 3A) in 28 games with the Oilers earlier this season.

Niederreiter scored one goal in five games while representing Switzerland at the Olympics, but suffered a lower-body injury that will sideline him for at least the next four weeks. The 33-year-old veteran forward has 19 points (8G / 11A) in 55 games with Winnipeg this season.

Janmark suffered an injury early in Edmonton's return to action from the Olympic break and will have to undergo surgery, forcing him to miss the remainder of the season. The 33-year-old Janmark scored eight points (1G / 7A) in 43 games this season.

Howard has split time between the NHL and AHL in his first professional season, and could get another shot at drawing into Edmonton's lineup after being recalled on Monday. The 21-year-old scored five points (2G / 3A) in 28 games with the Oilers this season.

Samanski made his NHL debut earlier this season, scoring two assists in five games with the Oilers, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The undrafted 23-year-old forward has 31 points (8G / 23A) in 44 games with Bakersfield (AHL) this season.
