Pageau left the Islanders' game on February 11th after 12:56 TOI with an upper-body injury and was considered day-to-day but will be placed on the injured reserve retroactively to that date.

Vanecek allowed two goals on 24 shots (.917 SV%) to snap a 10-game winning streak as he was defeated in overtime by Minnesota last start.

Cizikas has four goals, nine assists, 64 SOG, and 46 PIMs through 55 games this season but will be a game-time decision Tuesday as he deals with an illness. It will be the second game Cizikas has missed this season if he cannot suit up.
Sorokin allowed six goals on 34 shots (.824 SV%) in what was one of his worst starts of the season as he was downed by the Vancouver Canucks last game. The 27-year-old has been a wall all year, yet still has only a 17-17-4 record, despite his incredibly impressive 2.41 GAA and .923 SV%. He takes on the Ottawa Senators, who have won five of their last six games after a 4-3 overtime victory over Calgary on Monday.

Cizikas has four goals, nine assists, 64 SOG, and 46 PIMs across 55 games played this season but may be forced to miss a game or two as he deals with a non-covid-related illness. Otto Koivula has been recalled in the meantime in case he is forced to miss any amount of time.
