Bjorkstrand was activated from COVID-19 protocol on Monday and will play Tuesday vs. the Lightning. Bjorkstrand has scored just three goals and one assist (four points) in his last nine games.

Raddysh missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Tuesday in Columbus. It's unclear where Raddysh will slot into the lineup but he has eight points (4G / 4A) in his last 11 games.

Korpisalo has cleared COVID-19 protocol and will make his first appearance since December 16th. Korpisalo has given up at least three goals in seven straight starts, going 3-3-0 with an .872 SV%. Tonight he'll face a Lightning team that is on a three-game losing skid but are in the top-half in the NHL in xGF/60 (2.83).




Korpisalo was in COVID-19 protocol and skated on his own on Thursday but joined the team on Friday and should be available for Saturday's game. It's unclear if he will start or backup Elvis Merzlikins.


With Dowling going into protocol, the Canucks will likely have to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen in Thursday's game in Los Angeles.

Raddysh will be replaced by Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, who was activated from the protocol list this morning. Ross Colton should move up to replace him on the line with Steven Stamkos.


Bjorkstrand joins Boone Jenner, Eric Robinson and Joonas Korpisalo, who remain in protocol and will likely be sidelined until at least the middle of next week.
