Bjorkstrand took a cross-check against the Devils on Saturday and will miss at least one month with a mid-body injury. Bjorkstrand was red-hot before getting hurt, scoring five goals with two assists in his previous four games. Nathan Gerbe was called up from Cleveland (AHL) to replace Bjorkstrand.

Dowling has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Alexander Radulov, who is out with a lower-body injury. Dowling will start on the top-line with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn and comes in with five points (3G / 2A) in 22 games this season.

Reimer stopped all 32 shots that he faced in the Hurricanes shutout win in Calgary last Saturday. Petr Mrazek started in Winnipeg on Tuesday but look for Reimer to start for the sixth time in the last 12 games. Reimer has been terrific in his previous five starts, going 4-1-0 while posting a 1.41 GAA, .956 SV% and two shutouts. He gets set to face a Colorado team that played last night but have won nine of their last 11 (9-1-1) while averaging 3.82 goals per game.

Korpisalo gave up three goals on 21 shots in the Blue Jackets' win in Detroit on Tuesday. It wasn't his best outing but it was enough to earn the victory and move him to 3-0-2 with a 1.69 GAA, .943 SV% and one shutout in his last five games. Now they return home, where Korpisalo has gone 9-8-1 with a 2.53 GAA, .905 SV% and two shutouts this season.

Korpisalo stopped all 30 shots that he faced in the Blue Jackets' shutout win over the Capitals last night. With Elvis Merzlikins struggling and a very winnable game on-tap, Korpisalo will start on back-to-back nights. He allowed four goals on 26 shots in a win in his first start vs. the Red Wings and is 2-0-2 with a 1.34 GAA and .958 SV% in his last four starts.

Dowling drew into the lineup on Saturday because Mattias Janmark was dealing with an upper-body injury, but Janmark is back tonight which will make Dowling a healthy scratch for the fourth time in five games.

Korpisalo allowed two goals on 19 shots after replacing Elvis Merzlikins in the Blue Jackets' overtime loss in Ottawa on Saturday. Korpisalo's last three outings have all been strong, as he's posted a .944 SV% but has lost two of three. The win came against the Capitals, who he'll face again tonight--last Monday he stopped 37 of 39 in a 5-2 victory.

Reimer allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Hurricanes win in Edmonton on Tuesday. Reimer has won four of his last five starts while posting a 2.01 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout. He has gone 6-3-0 with a 2.41 GAA and .924 SV% on the road this year but the Flames come in riding a seven-game winning streak, so Reimer is a risky option.

Korpisalo allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Blue Jackets' win in Washington on Monday. It was an outstanding outing for Korpisalo, who will make his 24th start of the season on Thursday. In his first start against the Penguins, Korpisalo stopped 29 of 31 shots in a 5-2 win in late-November.

Cholowski has registered just two assists in his last 12 games and his return to the AHL suggests that Jonathan Ericsson and Alex Biega will play on Thursday. Cholowski had 12 assists in 25 games with Grand Rapids a season ago.

Reimer gave up two goals on 34 shots in the Hurricanes loss in Boston last Tuesday. Petr Mrazek has started the last two games but it looks as if Reimer will start Tuesday in Edmonton. Reimer is 3-1-0 with a 1.75 GAA, .944 SV% and one shutout in his last four starts and gets set to face an Oilers team that has lost four of their last five home games.

Korpisalo allowed three goals on 19 shots in the Blue Jackets' loss to the Rangers last Thursday. Since his four-game winning streak was snapped, Korpisalo has lost three of his last four games while posting a 2.80 GAA and .889 SV%. Things could get worse on Monday. The Capitals have won six in a row while scoring 4.00 goals per game, so Korpisalo is a low-end option to start the week.
