Barkov picked up one assist in 12:12 TOI before leaving last night’s win over the Jets with an upper-body injury. Barkov has been all but ruled out of Saturday’s game but the Panthers are hopeful that he will play Monday vs. the Red Wings. Their optimism suggests that the injury is very minor so it looks like Barkov owners have dodged a bullet.
Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Blue Jackets loss in Montreal on Monday. With two back-to-backs this week, Joonas Korpisalo has started the last two contests, so Bobrovsky will obviously start tonight in Washington. Bobrovsky wrapped up November at 7-3-1 with a 1.88 GAA, .936 SV% and two shutouts. He’s one of the top netminders in the NHL and is a must-start whenever he gets the nod.
Marchand missed the last six games with an undisclosed injury but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. the Lightning. Marchand will be reunited with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak on the top line and comes into play with 15 points (8G / 7A) in 14 games this season.
Marchand has missed the last six games with an injury, but skated on the top line in Tuesday’s practice and is a game-time decision for Wednesday’s game. Monitor his status during tomorrow’s gameday skate.
Marchand has yet to be cleared to play, so he will miss his sixth consecutive game with an undisclosed injury. The Bruins have played week without Marchand, going 4-1-0 in those five contests.
Bobrovsky stopped 30 of 32 shots in the Blue Jackets win in Buffalo on Monday. The win extended Bobrovsky’s winning streak to four and gives him a league leading .933 SV% through 17 games. Tonight he takes on the Flames on home ice, where he is 6-3-0 with a 1.66 GAA and.946 SV% this season.

Tkachuk has been suspended for one game for his role in Wednesday’s brawl in Detroit. Tkachuk slashed Luke Witkowski as he left the ice following a fight, which sparked a full blown brawl. With Tkachuk out, Matt Stajan will likely draw into the lineup on Saturday.
