Soucy has missed the previous four games for the Rangers due to an upper-body injury but appears set to return to the lineup on Monday. The 31-year-old defenseman has one goal in three games this season. Urho Vaakanainen will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Soucy's return.
Soucy has missed the previous four games for the Rangers due to an upper-body injury and was a full participant in Monday's morning skate, but will start be a game-time decision as he attempted to return to the lineup on Monday against the Minnesota Wild. The 31-year-old defenseman has one goal in three games this season. Urho Vaakanainen will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Soucy's return.
Lorentz missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but will replace Calle Jarnkrok in the lineup on Saturday. Lorentz, who had two assists in the season opener, will be back on the fourth line.
Greaves stopped 25 of 27 shots in Monday’s 3-2 loss to the Devils. Despite a strong start to the season (2.06 GAA, .932 SV%), he’s still searching for his first win (0-2-0). He’s expected to face a Lightning team playing the second half of a back-to-back, with Jonas Johansson likely starting on the other side. Columbus enters as -117 home favourites.

Lorentz was battling an upper-body injury and did not play on Monday, and will remain out of the lineup as a healthy scratch on Thursday against the New York Rangers. The 29-year-old Lorentz has two points (0G / 2A) in two games this season.
The Kings lost Copley at the beginning of the month to the Tampa Bay Lightning after placing him on waivers. However, with Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) considered day-to-day, the Kings were in need of another goalie and re-acquired Copley from Tampa Bay via trade for future considerations. Copley is no stranger to the NHL, with 77 games of experience. The 33-year-old Copley spent the majority of the 2024-25 season in the AHL, tallying a 2.49 GAA and .904 SV% in 42 games with the Ontario Reign (24-17-1).
Andrae made his season debut in Philadelphia's most recent game, but he has now been reassigned to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL). The 23-year-old Andrae is in his sophomore season after playing 42 games with the Flyers in 2024-25, scoring seven points (1G / 6A) in the process.
After John Gibson's porous debut in Detroit's season-opening 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Talbot has been awarded his third consecutive start on Wednesday against the Florida Panthers. The 38-year-old Talbot has been excellent in his limited action this season, posting a 2.11 GAA, a .925 SV%, and a perfect 2-0-0 record. Still, the Red Wings enter Wednesday's contest as +122 home underdogs against a Panthers team coming off their first loss of the 2025-26 season (3-1-0).

With Erik Gudbranson (upper body) sidelined indefinitely, Christiansen will draw into the Blue Jackets' lineup for his season debut on Monday against the New Jersey Devils. The 26-year-old Christiansen benefited from a Gudbranson injury last season, playing a career-high 68 games and scoring eight points (1G / 7A).
Egor Zamula will be a healthy scratch on Monday against the Florida Panthers, allowing Andrae to make his season debut. The 23-year-old Andrae is in his sophomore season after playing 42 games in 2024-25, scoring seven points (1G / 6A) in the process.
Gudbranson exited Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, did not practice on Sunday, and will be sidelined indefinitely, starting with Monday's contest against the New Jersey Devils. The 33-year-old Gudbranson is in his 15th NHL season, his fourth with the Blue Jackets, and was set to be a lineup-regular this season after being limited to only 16 games in 2024-25 because of a shoulder injury.
The Blue Jackets have alternated goalies in their first two games of the season, a trend that will continue in game three on Monday against the New Jersey Devils, with Greaves tending the twine. Greaves was solid in his only outing this season, saving 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 2-1 losing effort to the Nashville Predators. The 24-year-old netminder was excellent in limited action last season, posting a 1.91 GAA and .938 SV% in 11 appearances (7-2-2), and has an opportunity to play his way into a starting role with the Blue Jackets. Columbus enters Monday's contest as +113 home underdogs against New Jersey.
Talbot played well enough in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, saving 20 of 23 shots (.870 SV%), to earn himself another start in Monday's rematch. The 38-year-old Talbot posted a 2.93 GAA and a .900 SV% in 47 appearances last season (21-19-5). The Red Wings acquired John Gibson in the offseason to be their new starting netminder, but Talbot has the opportunity to play himself into more games if he can showcase some consistency. The Red Wings enter Monday's contest as +142 road underdogs against the Maple Leafs.
Lorentz played just 1:17 before leaving Saturday's loss in Detroit with an upper-body injury. Lorentz has been announced as doubtful for Monday, meaning Easton Cowan is lining up to make his NHL debut.
Soucy was able to skate off under his own power after an awkward collision with Rickard Rakell and the sideboards. Soucy should be considered doubtful to play Sunday vs. the Capitals, so expect Matthew Robertson to make his season debut.
The Red Wings suffered an embarrassing 5-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens in their season-opening game with John Gibson between the pipes. They will turn to Talbot on Saturday, hoping for a better result against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 36-year-old Talbot is entering his second season with the Red Wings after posting a 2.93 GAA and .900 SV% in 47 appearances last season (21-19-5).
