Tonight he faces a Stars team that has gone 8-7-2 while scoring 2.59 goals per game on the road this year.

Rodrigues was not on the ice for Friday's practice and is officially day-to-day with a lower-body ailment. With Rodrigues, Jack Eichel and Johan Larsson all dealing with injuries, the Sabres may need to recall a forward for Saturday.

Bennett missed the last 13 games with a lower-body injury but will play tonight vs. the Penguins. Bennett, who has just three goals and two assists (five points) in 20 games this season, will skate on the fourth-line with Tobias Rieder and Michael Frolik.

Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 41 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Bruins on Saturday. Bobrovsky has lost three straight (0-3-0) despite posting an impressive 2.40 GAA and .941 SV%--Florida has scored just four goals in front of him. Tonight he faces a Senators team that has lost six of their last seven (1-5-1) on the road while scoring just 2.14 goals per game.

Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 29 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Islanders. Despite the loss, it was another terrific outing for Bobrovsky, who has allowed just six goals on the last 142 shots (.958 SV%) that he has faced. He was pulled after allowing four goals on 23 shots in his first start vs. Boston.

Gregor was a healthy scratch vs. the Rangers but will replace Dylan Gambrell Saturday vs. the Canucks. Gregor has just one goal on 17 shots (5.9 SH%) and a minus-5 rating in 17 games this season.

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. Tonight he faces an Islanders team that has won four of their lat six while scoring 2.83 goals per game.

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. This could be a sign of Bobrovsky turning a corner but he draws a tough matchup on Tuesday. 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. Chris Driedger started the last two games but they'll go back to Bobrovsky against his former team on Saturday. 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.
