Forsling has been out since January 28th but will suit up against his former team on Wednesday. Forsling, who will most likely replace Noah Juulsen, was held pointless in his first three games of the season.
Asplund will replace Steven Fogarty, who went the other way and should make an appearance in the bottom-6 on Tuesday. Asplund has one goal and two assists in 30 career NHL games and has picked up two assists in three AHL games with Rochester this season.
Reinhart was missing from the Sabres' morning skate due to a minor injury and is listed as a game-time decision vs. the Islanders. Rasmus Asplund skated in Reinhart's spot, so look for him to play if he's out.
Puljujarvi missed Thursday's game due to being added to the COVID-19 reserve list but was quickly activated, signalling a false positive. Puljujarvi returned to Edmonton from Montreal on a charter flight and is eligible to participate in tomorrow's practice.
Puljujarvi was missing from Thursday's morning skate for "precautionary reasons" and his status for tonight's game in Montreal is in question. Head coach Dave Tippett did not provide much of an update on Puljujarvi but James Neal will take his place with Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins if he can't go.
Bobrovsky allowed six goals on 41 shots in the Panthers' loss to the Predators last Thursday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak to open the season for Bobrovsky, who has given up a combined 15 goals on 126 shots (.881 SV%). Tonight he faces a Red Wings team that beat Chris Driedger on Sunday but have lost eight of their last nine games.
Bennett recently requested a trade and being healthy scratched tonight is likely related to a deal being completed in the near future. With Bennett coming out of the lineup, Dominik Simon will draw back in.
Bobrovsky allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Panthers' win in Detroit last Saturday. After sitting on Sunday, Bobrovsky will draw back into the crease Thursday vs. the Predators. He has won each of his first three starts of the season, allowing nine goals on 85 shots (.894 SV%). Tonight he'll face a Predators team that has lost five of their last seven games.
