There's no indication whether or not Gravel is being called up to play. The 27-year-old hasn't played a lot of hockey this season, appearing in just three games with the Maple Leafs and eight with the Marlies.
Saros allowed four goals on 27 shots in the Predators' loss to the Ducks on January 16th. Saros has stumbled recently, going 1-1-2 with a 3.63 GAA and .882 SV% in his last six appearances (five starts). He'll face a Capitals team that has lost four of their last five home games while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.
Based on line rushes in Monday's practice, it looks like Haula could sit Tuesday vs. the Jets. Haula has missed time due to a knee injury this season, so scratching him on Tuesday could be a way to give him an extra couple of days off before the Hurricanes bye week. Jordan Martinook would replace Haula if he's out.
Oesterle missed Thursday's game in Vancouver and will likely sit out of Saturday's game in Edmonton as well. Kyle Capobianco was called up from the AHL to take Oesterle's spot on the roster.
Saros stopped all 28 shots that he faced in the Predators shutout win in Winnipeg on Sunday. It was a much-needed game from Saros, who had previously lost four in a row while giving up a combined 14 goals against. He is a great play on Thursday with the Ducks in town. They've lost four in a row and are 2-10-2 while scoring just 2.29 goals per game in their last 14 road contests.

Hague was a healthy scratch vs. the Blue Jackets but will replace Jon Merrill in the lineup in Buffalo. Hague, who often plays on the third-pair and second power-play unit, has no goals on 44 shots with 10 assists in 34 games.
Marchessault has missed the last five games with a lower-body injury but head coach Gerard Gallant thinks he's back tonight. Marchessault is fourth on the team in goals (15) and fifth in points (31) in 43 games.
Marchessault was on the ice for the morning skate but head coach Gerard Gallant said he is “doubtful but I don’t want to say no.” Expect Marchessault to miss his fifth straight game on Saturday.
Marchessault was not on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will not be available against the Kings. With Marchessault still out, the Golden Knights are expected to keep Chandler Stephenson on the William Karlsson line and Paul Stastny between Max Pacioretty and Mark Stone.
Marchessault has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but could play Tuesday vs. the Penguins. Monitor his status as the Golden Knights hit the ice for warmups at 9:30 pm ET.
Haula was not on the ice for Monday's practice or Tuesday's morning skate but head coach Rod Brind'Amour is hopeful that Haula will be available vs. Montreal. Since returning to the lineup on December 21st, Haula has two goals and two assists (four points) in four games.
Saros allowed two goals on 19 shots after replacing Pekka Rinne in last night's loss to the Penguins. He'll get the chance to start the game in Pittsburgh tonight but comes in with his own share of struggles. Saros is 2-2-2 with a 3.14 GAA and .894 SV% in his last six starts and is obviously a risky option against a Penguins team that is 8-2-0 in their last 10.
