Chabot missed Thursday's game in Toronto and Saturday's practice but head coach DJ Smith did not rule him out vs. the Canadiens. If he misses another game, expect Erik Brannstrom and Mike Reilly to man the power-play units.
Cozens has not played since January 31st but has returned from COVID-19 "flying" according to the Sabres' head coach Ralph Krueger. Cozens will most likely return to a top-6 role next to Eric Staal and comes in with two goals and one assist in his first nine career NHL games.
Blais has been out since February 6th but will be a game-time decision on Thursday. Blais, who has one goal and two assists in seven games this season, will likely replace Austin Poganski in the Blues' bottom-6.
The Flyers will return to the ice for the first time in 10 days after a COVID-19 outbreak but will do so without six regulars. Giroux, Jakub Voracek, Travis Konecny, Justin Braun, Oskar Lindblom and Scott Laughton will all miss Tuesday's game against the Rangers.
Chabot will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, which means Artem Zub will remain in the Senators lineup in a tough assignment vs. Connor McDavid and Co.
Foegele has been on the COVID-19 reserve list and has not played since January 18th. Foegele should reclaim a spot in the Hurricanes' bottom-6 and is still searching for his first point of the season.
Zub came over from the KHL this offseason after scoring 13 goals with nine assists (22 points) in 57 games with St. Petersburg SKA. The 25-year-old undrafted free agent is expected to replace Thomas Chabot, who is doubtful with an undisclosed injury.
Chabot missed Saturday's practice after leaving Thursday's game in Vancouver early. Head coach DJ Smith said that "for now [Chabot] is going to be out for tonight," so consider him a game-time decision but it would be surprising if he plays.
Ullmark allowed three goals on 39 shots in the Sabres loss to the Rangers on Thursday. Ullmark has been a workhorse for the Sabres, with Saturday marking his fifth consecutive start. He's gone 2-0-2 while stopping 121 of the 132 shots (.917 SV%) that he's faced. Buffalo has been terrific defensively so far this season, so Ullmark continues to be a strong fantasy option in the right matchups.
Foegele was activated on Friday and was on the ice for an optional practice, suggesting that he could be available for Saturday's home game vs. the Stars. Foegele, who has yet to record a point in three games this season, will likely replace Steven Lorentz and skate on the third line with Jordan Staal if he's made available.
Ullmark allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Sabres' shootout win in Washington on Sunday. After going 1-1-1 with a 2.55 GAA and .905 SV% in his first three starts, it looks like Ullmark will face someone other than the Capitals on Tuesday night. The Rangers come in struggling, opening the season at 1-3-1 while averaging 2.60 goals for per game.
