Marchand missed Saturday's practice with flu-like symptoms but will play Sunday vs. the Canadiens. This is obviously huge news for the Bruins, who are already without Patrice Bergeron on their top-line.

Studnicka, 20, was a second-round pick (No.53 overall) in 2017 and is set to play in his first career NHL game on Tuesday. Studnicka had 18 points (9G / 9A) in 21 games with Providence (AHL) before being called-up.

Rodrigues played just 0:40 TOI in Sunday's win over the Panthers, which left the Sabres with just 10 forwards after dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. With Rodrigues hurt, the Sabres recalled J-S Dea from Rochester on Monday morning and he will likely make his season debut in Rodrigues' place.
Bennett was a late-scratch for Sunday's game in Vegas and now he is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks. Zac Rinaldo was called-up from Stockton (AHL) and will fill-in for Bennett on Tuesday.
Bobrovsky gave up three goals on 33 shots in the Panthers' 4-3 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

Tonight he faces a Flyers team that has lost three straight and recently recalled Morgan Frost to try and help boost their offence.

Luostarinen, 21, appeared in three games with the Hurricanes while Erik Haula was out. He will likely head out to Chicago to serve as an extra forward and will head back to the AHL when the Hurricanes return home. Luostarinen has five goals and three assists (eight points) in 12 AHL games.
