Vatrano played just 9:25 TOI and 8:00 TOI in his last two games and is reportedly dealing with an upper-body injury. Vatrano is day-to-day and will be replaced by Matt Beleskey in the lineup vs. the Stars.
Jensen, 26, has impressed the Red Wings since being called up in mid-December. The American-born defenseman has three goals and five assists (eight points) in 27 games with the Red Wings after he had six points (1G / 5A) in 27 games with the Griffins. He is a really strong skater and should be part as the Red Wings’ top-6 next season.
Brossoit allowed one goal on five shots after replacing Cam Talbot in the Oilers’ loss to the Blackhawks on February 11th. Brossoit has made three NHL appearances this season, stopping 57 of 62 shots (.919 SV%). He’ll give Cam Talbot the night off and start the first game of their back-to-back against a Lightning team that is 4-0-2 in their last six.

Killorn missed Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury, but will return to the lineup tonight in Minnesota. Killorn will play with Brayden Point and Jonathan Drouin and has 16 goals and 12 assists (28 points) in 53 games this season.
Killorn was scratched for Tuesday’s game because of an undisclosed injury and is listed as day-to-day. The Lightning are back in action on Friday and head coach Jon Cooper is hoping that Killorn will be back in the lineup. Monitor his status during Friday’s morning skate.
Brossoit, 23, was a sixth round pick of the Flames in 2011 and tonight he will face the team that drafted him for the first time. Brossoit has gone 9-8-0 with a 2.67 GAA and .908 SV% in 21 games with Bakersfield (AHL) this season. Tonight will be his seventh career NHL start—he’s gone 0-5-1 with a 3.34 GAA and .896 SV% in the first six.
Vatrano, 22, appeared in 39 games with the Bruins last season, collecting eight goals with three assists (11 points). During his conditioning stint, Vatrano picked up two goals in two games with Providence. Vatrano will skate with Austin Czarnik and Riley Nash.
Vatrano was recalled from his conditioning stint in Providence after scoring two goals in two games, but he will not make his season debut tonight. Vatrano will sit out for another game, so expect Anton Blidh to remain in the lineup.
Vatrano was on a conditioning stint with Providence over the weekend and scored a goal in both games. Vatrano had been sidelined with torn ligaments in his foot that he suffered in the preseason. The 22-year-old has eight goals and three assists (11 points) in 39 career NHL games (all in 2015-16). Expect him to be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Jensen, 26, has been recalled to serve as an extra defenseman during the Red Wings’ three- game road trip. The 2009 fifth round pick has one goal and five assists (six points) in 27 games with the Griffins. Don’t expect him to make his NHL debut unless one of the Red Wings’ regular defensemen gets injured.
Vatrano shed his no-contact sweater and was a full participant in Sunday’s practice, but stayed in Boston while the team left for a brief two-game road-trip. Vatrano has yet to play this season after tearing ligaments in his foot during the preseason. Vatrano is nearing a return, but it won’t come until Thursday at the earliest and even that seems unlikely.
Greer, 19, made his NHL debut on Sunday, recording two shots in 16:34 TOI. The former second round pick (39th overall in 2015) heads back to San Antonio, where he has 14 points (5G / 9A) in 13 games.
Vatrano was expected to push for a top-6 role in Boston following a strong rookie year in Providence (AHL) and Boston. Vatrano will undergo foot surgery on Monday and is expected to be out until late-December/early-January.
Killorn, 26, had 40 points (14G / 26A) in 81 games last season. He has been a very consistent point producer in the lat three years, finishing with 41, 38 and 40 points each season. Those number are certainly serviceable for the Lightning, but aren’t quite good enough to land him firmly on the fantasy radar.
Brossoit surrendered three goals on 25 shots in the Oilers loss to the Avalanche last Sunday. Brossoit has gone 0-3-1 with a 3.23 GAA and .882 SV% in four starts this season. Brossoit’s NHL career has not gotten off on the best foot and he draws a difficult matchup in Los Angeles, where the Kings are 23-11-2 this season.
Vatrano, 22, has split his time between Boston and Providence during the 2015-16 campaign. He has registered six goals and one assist (seven points) in 30 games in Boston and leads the AHL in goals with 33 in 33 games. In addition to the 33 goals Vatrano has added 16 assists for 49 points, which is good for third on the team.
