Goalie Start
Vanecek is expected to start Tuesday in New York.
Barkov (lower-body) is not expected to play Tuesday but should return on their four-game homestand.
Barkov is expected to miss his fourth straight game on Tuesday but head coach Joel Quenneville expects him to play either Thursday, Saturday or Sunday. With Barkov out, Noel Acciari is expected to centre a line with Carter Verhaeghe and Anthony Duclair.
Marchand (COVID-19 protocol) will return to the Bruins lineup on Tuesday.
Marchand missed the last two games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play Tuesday. Marchand said it was a false-positive test, so he'll be back on a line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak vs. New Jersey.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky will start Tuesday vs. Detroit.
Ekblad underwent surgery to repair a "fracture in his lower extremities" and will miss the rest of the season.
Ekblad went down awkwardly on Sunday and is expected to be out at least 12 weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a fracture. This is obviously a huge blow for the Panthers but also an unfortunate injury for Ekblad, who was enjoying a career year.
Marchand remains on the COVID-19 protocol list and is not on the ice for warmups.

Bobrovsky will start Saturday in Dallas.
Barkov (lower-body) is expected to miss at least two more games.
Marchand has been added to the COVID-19 protocol list and will not play Saturday.
Line Change
Luostarinen has been promoted to the NHL roster and is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday.

Barkov (lower-body) will not play on Thursday.
Barkov was a late scratch from Tuesday's game after getting hurt in warmups and will miss Thursday's game as well. With Barkov out, Noel Acciari picked up two assists in 19:48 TOI in his spot, so he could make for an interesting DFS play tomorrow. Head coach Joel Quenneville said that Barkov is "doing better today" so don't expect him to be out long-term.
Barkov listed as a late scratch for Tuesday's game in Chicago.
Entwistle will make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Entwistle Wass originally drafted by the Coyotes in the third round of the 2017 NHL Draft but bounced around a bit before being traded to the Blackhawks in 2018. The 21-year-old winger has two goals and three assists (five points) in 12 AHL games before being promoted.
