Middleton has two goals, four assists, 28 SOG and 40 PIMs through 33 games so far this season but will be forced to miss Tuesday's game as he deals with a non-Covid illness.

With Mason Shaw suspended for Tuesday's game and Foligno out with a lower-body injury, the Wild recalled Sammy Walker and Adam Beckman from Iowa (AHL) and both should play against the Jets. Foligno will miss at least the Wild's next few games as he recovers.

Gustavsson stopped all 35 Vancouver Canuck shots for the first shutout of his three-year career in his last start Saturday.

Katchouk will head to the press box as the odd man out as Sam Lafferty (back) returns after a six-game absence. Katchouk will hope to be back in the lineup soon so that he can improve on his one goal, one assist, 25 SOG and 9:18 ATOI.

Trenin has missed the Predators' previous four games due to a lower-body injury but will be a welcome addition back Tuesday as they take on the Ducks. The 25-year-old had a goal and three assists with 22 SOG through 15 games prior to the injury.
