Ehlers is not on the ice for warmups; not expected to play in Game 5.
Line Change
Hall is expected to be rested on Saturday.
Carrier (undisclosed) is expected to be back in the Golden Knights lineup on Tuesday.
Fast is likely done for the season with a groin injury.
Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said that Fast has been dealing with a bad groin that will likely keep him out for the final week of the season. Fast had been playing his best hockey of the season as of late, but finishes the year with 33 points (13G / 20A) in 71 games.
Dzingel will not play on Tuesday because of a "bad bruise."
Dzingel is not dealing with a concussion but rather a “bad bruise” so he will not play against the Panthers on Tuesday. Filip Chlapik was recalled from Belleville (AHL) and is expected to replace Dzingel.
The Canadiens acquired Mike Reilly from the Wild for a 2019 5th round pick.
Reilly was a prospect with a lot of offensive potential when he reached the NHL, but it has not materialized. The 24-year-old has just 18 points (4G / 14A) in 84 career NHL games, but should get his best shot at playing time with a Montreal team that is out of the playoff picture.
Dzingel will miss Saturday's game against the Rangers due to a family issue.
Line Change
Reilly will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
After playing in the last two games, Reilly will serve as a healthy scratch tonight with Gustav Olofsson re-entering the lineup. Reilly was a minus-2 in 13:14 TOI in Dallas on Saturday and that is likely a big reason for sending him back to the press box tonight.
Carrier left Sunday’s game with an undisclosed injury and did not return.
Carrier played just 1:03 TOI before left the game in Washington and is questionable for Tuesday’s game in Pittsburgh. Head coach Gerard Gallant said postgame that he did think it’s anything serious and listed him as day-to-day.
Jankowski will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Martinook (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Aho (lower-body/concussion) will return to the Hurricanes lineup on Tuesday.
Aho has missed the last four games with a lower-body issue and concussion, but practiced on Monday and skated with Jordan Staal and Elias Lindholm in today’s gameday skate. Aho brings 16 goals and 21 assists (37 points) in 45 games to the Hurricanes lineup vs. the Senators.
Hall (hand) will be back in the Devils lineup on Tuesday.
Hall missed the final three games before the All-Star break but was back on the ice for Monday’s practice and will play on Tuesday. Hall, who leads the Devils with 17 goals and 31 assists (48 points) in 43 games this season, will be back on the top line with Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt.
Aho (lower-body/concussion) says he “feels good” and may return to the Hurricanes lineup on Tuesday.
Aho was back at practice on Monday and may be cleared to play Tuesday after missing the last four games with a lower-body injury and concussion. Aho’s return will be huge for the Hurricanes as he comes in second on the team in points (37).
Martinook (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Hall (hand) will not play Thursday vs. Nashville.
Hall will miss the next two games with a hand injury.
Aho is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury and concussion.
