Goalie Start
Andersen led the Maple Leafs onto the ice for Game 2.
Andersen played very well in Game 1 but allowed one soft goal and it was enough to cement the victory for Columbus. Overall, he stopped 33 of 34 shots in the loss but it was a good sign for Andersen, who has yet to win playoff series in his Maple Leafs career.
Goalie Start
"Very likely' that Bobrovsky starts Game 3 on Wednesday afternoon.
Goalie Start
Rask (undisclosed) will make his return to the crease on Wednesday.
Goalie Start
Saros led the Predators onto the ice for warmups.
Saros had an ugly start to the 2020 playoffs, giving up three goals in the first 16 minutes of Game 1. However, like he rest of his team, he settled in and Nashville nearly came back from 3-0 down. He finished the game with 33 saves on 37 shots (.892 SV%) and that was enough for the Predators to go back to him in a super important Game 2.

Lemieux is expected to draw into the Rangers lineup in Game 3.
Lemieux served his two-game suspension during Game 1 and 2 but is eligible to play in a must-win for the Rangers on Tuesday. Lemieux, who had 18 points (6G / 12A) in 59 games, is expected to replace Steven Fogarty in the lineup.

Stamkos will not play Wednesday vs. the Bruins.
Lightning head coach Jon Cooper expects Stamkos to skate on Tuesday but will not play tomorrow vs. the Bruins. Tampa Bay won their first round-robin game vs. the Capitals without Stamkos and it's evident they won't rush him back for these pre-playoff games.

Boychuk is doubtful to play in Game 2 on Tuesday.
Boychuk left Game 1 after playing just 5:17 TOI and did not return. The Islanders did not practice on Monday so the Islanders did not have much of an update on the veteran's status. Look for Andy Greene or Noah Dobson to replace Boychuk on Game 2.
Line Change
Quenneville will draw into the Blackhawks lineup for Game 2.
Goalie Start
Crawford starts Game 2 in Edmonton.
Goalie Start
Bishop led the Stars onto the ice for warmups.
The Stars have two very capable goaltenders and both will probably see playing time during the round-robin but Bishop will start the opener. He was 21-16-4 with a 2.50 GAA and .920 SV% in 43 starts this seasons. In two starts vs. the Golden Knights, Bishop was 1-0-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .917 SV%.

Farabee will draw into the Flyers lineup on Thursday.
Michael Raffl was hurt in the third period of the Flyers' win over the Bruins on Saturday, opening the door for Farabee to play against the Capitals on Thursday. There's no indication what line Farabee will play on but he comes in having picked up 21 points (8G / 13A) in 52 games.
