Antti Raanta was scheduled to start tonight's game but is sick, so Kuemper will take over between the pipes. He has surprisingly lost two straight while allowing three goals in each game, but has a bounce-back matchup on tap with the Ducks in town. He allowed two goals on 29 shots in a 2-1 loss in Anaheim in the season opener.

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.

Rittich stopped 36 of 38 shots in the Flames shootout win in Philadelphia on Saturday. It was an outstanding outing for Rittich, who has gone 5-3-1 with a 2.72 GAA, .912 SV% and one shutout in his last nine starts. Without Sidney Crosby, the Penguins have averaged 3.33 goals per game but are 2-1-3 in those six games.

Edler was forced to leave Saturday's game in Washington but was on the ice for Monday's morning skate and is expected to play in Philadelphia.

Edler was forced to leave Saturday's game in the first period after sustaining an upper-body injury. Edler's injury is not serious and he is expected to skate before Monday's game to see if he can play in Philadelphia. If he can't play, Oscar Fantenberg will likely replace him in the lineup and Tyler Myers would see PP2 time.

With Mike Green and Patrik Nemeth not expected to play on Thursday, Hicketts joins the Red Wings in Columbus. The 23-year-old has two assists in five NHL games this season and is second among Griffins' defensemen with nine points (all assists) in 11 AHL games.

Rittich allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Flames loss in Arizona on Saturday. Cam Talbot started twice last week but the schedule sets up for Rittich to start all three games this week. In his first start vs. Colorado, he allowed four goals on 31 shots in a 5-3 loss, but Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog were healthy for that game.

The Maple Leafs started a six-game road trip on Saturday and Moore is not currently with the team. His move to IR means he will miss at least two more games and it opens up a spot for Pierre Engvall to be called up from the Marlies (AHL).

Rittich allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Flames loss to the Blues last Saturday. With Cam Talbot starting vs. the Stars on Tuesday, it has been a full week since Rittich's last game. He stopped 34 of 37 shots in a come-from-behind overtime win in his first start vs. Arizona.

Moore suffered a shoulder injury against the Bruins last night and will miss at least Saturday's game against the Penguins. Dmytro Timashov will likely draw into the lineup for Moore.
