Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Islanders.

He was pulled after allowing four goals on 23 shots in his first start vs. Boston.
Tkachuk was scratched Tuesday in Arizona after getting hurt Monday in Colorado but it looks like he'll play against the Maple Leafs. Tkachuk has played very well this season, scoring 12 goals with 15 assists (27 points) in 32 games this season.
Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 48 shots in the Panthers' 2-1 loss to the Lightning on Tuesday. After sitting out two games last week, Bobrovsky has turned things around, stopping 109 of the 113 shots (.965 SV%) that he faced in his last three starts.

Bobrovsky stopped 30 of 31 shots in the Panthers' 5-1 win over the Sharks on Sunday. After sitting out for back-to-back games, Bobrovsky started both weekend games and went 2-0 while stopping 63 of the 65 shots (.969 SV%) that he faced.

The Lightning played last night but he is 1-1-0 with a 3.54 GAA and .891 SV% in his first two games vs. Tampa Bay.
Bobrovsky gave up four goals on 20 shots in the Panthers' loss in Washington last Wednesday.

Bobrovsky is 6-2-2 with a 3.42 GAA, .893 SV% and one shutout on home-ice and the Blue Jackets come in on a three-game losing streak.
Kulikov is expected to be out until the All-Star break, so his move to IR is simply a formality to open up a roster spot. The Jets used that roster spot to claim Nick Shore off of waivers from the Maple Leafs.
Kulikov was hurt last Friday in Anaheim and will miss at least 7-8 weeks with an upper-body injury. With Kulikov out, Anthony Bitetto/Carl Dahlstrom is expected to remain in the Jets lineup moving forward.
Studnicka has a solid showing during his first NHL call-up, picking up one assist in two games while playing 12:08 ATOI and carrying a 51.4 CorsiFor%. He heads back to the AHL, where he has 18 points (9G / 9A) in 21 games.
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. Marchand comes into the game with 18 goals and 25 assists (43 points) in 26 games and has three points (1G / 2A) in two games vs. Montreal this year.
Kulikov was forced to leave Friday's game early with an upper-body injury and will not play in Los Angeles. With Kulikov out, Carl Dahlstrom will draw back into the Jets' lineup.

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. He will be immediately inserted into the Bruins' top-6 and centre a line with Jake DeBrusk and Charlie Coyle on his wings.

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.
