Jankowski has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but could return to the lineup tonight vs. the Flyers. Jankowski has struggled offensively in his first year with the Penguins, scoring one goal with two assists in 18 games.
Jankowski will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury. Jankowski and Sidney Crosby (COVID-19) will not be available, so the Penguins centre depth will be tested vs. the Flyers.
Miller was originally listed as questionable after missing Monday's practice but was ruled out on Tuesday morning. With Miller out, the Rangers may need to recall a defenseman from the taxi squad or Brendan Smith will return after missing four games with an upper-body injury.
Miller was missing from Monday's practice and is listed as day-to-day according to head coach David Quinn. Quinn also said "we'll see tomorrow," so there seems like there's at least a sliver of hope that Miller won't miss Tuesday's contest vs. the Devils.
Chatfield was an ugly minus-4 in the Canucks loss in Toronto on Saturday. Chatfield has struggled recently, so Olli Juolevi will replace him on Monday.
Martinook has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Martinook should reclaim a spot on the Hurricanes' fourth-line and comes in with one assist in three games this season.
Slavin has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. His return to the Hurricanes' blueline will provide a huge boost, as he should replace Jake Bean and skat eon the top-pair with Dougie Hamilton.
Martinook was activated on Friday and was on the ice for an optional practice, suggesting that he could be available for Saturday's home game vs. the Stars. Martinook should replace Max McCormick and take back his spot on the fourth line for Saturday's contest.
Chatfield is expected to replace Olli Juolevi on the Canucks blueline on Wednesday. The 24-year-old defenseman, who had four assists in 48 AHL games a season ago, should help boost the Canucks penalty kill and is expected to skate on the second pair with Alex Edler.
The Hurricanes played in Nashville on Monday and had just one player n the COVID-19 protocol list and that was Jordan Staal.
