Gadjovich played 8:15 time-on-ice last Tuesday, more than his season average, but did not play the two games since due to an undisclosed ailment. The 25-year-old Gadjovich has four points (2G / 2A) in 31 games this season. Will Lockwood will be a healthy scratch for the Panthers on Monday.
Despite all the trade speculation, it seems Jacob Markstrom will be staying in Calgary for the remainder of the season as he gets his seventh-straight start on Monday vs. Seattle. The 34-year-old is second in the NHL with a +18.7 GSAx and has impressed despite the weak roster in front of him with his 21-15-2 record, 2.57 GAA and .914 SV%. He will host the Seattle Kraken on Monday, who have won three of their last five games but are struggling offensively as they are 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.72).

Markstrom returns to Calgary's crease on Tuesday after an illness forced him to backup Dan Vladar for the Battle of Alberta this past Saturday. The 34-year-old veteran netminder is the talk of the Trade Deadline market at the moment and deservedly so due to his 19-15-2 record, 2.58 GAA and .914 SV%. He will host the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday, who are on the second half of a back-to-back after losing to Edmonton on Monday.
Tkachuk was limited to only 5:39 time-on-ice before exiting Thursday's games against the Carolina Hurricanes with an undisclosed injury and subsequently did not play on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. Tkachuk was on a torrid pace before his injury, tallying 22 points (8G / 14A) in his previous 11 games.
Tkachuk suffered the injury late in the first period of Thursday's game and did not return. We should expect to receive an update on the injury and a potential timeline for his return in the coming days.

Markstrom will return to the crease for the ninth time in the last 10 games when the Flames face off against the Boston Bruins on Thursday. Markstrom has allowed three or fewer goals in six of his last seven games (5-2-0) and saved 28 of 31 shots (.903 SV%) on Monday, a 6-3 win over the Winnipeg Jets. The Flames enter action as +110 home underdogs.
Schmid has backed up Nico Daws the last two weeks since Vitek Vanecek suffered a lower-body injury but never saw any game action. Isaac Poulter has been recalled from Utica (AHL), likely to allow Schmid to play some games.
Lafferty will be the odd-man out on Tuesday as the Canucks looks to get some fresh legs in their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Arshdeep Bains will make his NHL debut in place of Lafferty.
