Line Change
Kulak will draw back into the Canadiens lineup on Tuesday.
Letang (lower-body) will not play on Monday; he is listed as day-to-day.
Letang suffered a lower-body injury on Saturday and will not play Monday in New York. The Penguins' blueline continues to take hits, this blow bigger than the rest. With Letang out, John Marino is expected to be on PP1 and P-O Joseph on PP2.
The Wild have placed Matt Dumba (lower-body) on IR.
Dumba missed Sunday's rematch vs. the Avalanche and was placed on IR on Monday. Dumba is expected to miss an extended period of time, so this move frees up a roster spot for the Wild to recall some reinforcements from the taxi squad.

Line Change
Graves will be back in Colorado's lineup on Tuesday.
Graves was a surprising scratch in Anaheim on Sunday but will replace Greg Pateryn in the lineup on Tuesday. Graves enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2020 but hasn't been the same player without playing next to Cale Makar to start 2021.
Line Change
Jones will be back in the Oilers lineup on Tuesday.
Jones has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Slater Koekkoek Tuesday in Winnipeg. Jones had one assist and a minus-4 rating while playing 15:50 ATOI in the first three games of the season.

Clifton will make his season debut on Saturday.
Clifton has been a healthy scratch for the first four games of the season but will replace Matt Grzelcyk (leg) in the lineup on Saturday. The 25-year-old defenseman had just two goals in 31 games a season ago.
Line Change
Jones will be a healthy scratch Monday vs. Montreal.
The Red Wings have signed Anthony Mantha to a four-year contract extension worth $22.8 million ($5.7M AAV).
The Avalanche have re-signed Ryan Graves to a three-year extension worth $9.48 million ($3.16M AAV).
The Islanders have signed (the other) Sebastian Aho to a two-year deal worth $1.45 million ($725K AAV).
Aho, 24, spent all of 2020 in the AHL, where he led all Bridgeport defensemen with 30 points (3G / 27A) in 49 games. Aho is undersized (5-11, 177) but he's a terrific puck-mover and is not afraid to jump into the rush to create offence. He is a candidate to graduate to the NHL in 2021 but he's blocked by a bunch of high-paid veteran defensemen on the depth chart.
Clifton will be back in the Bruins lineup for Game 4.
Clifton will come out of the Bruins lineup for Game 3.
The Maple Leafs have acquired Filip Hallander, the No.15 overall pick in 2020, Evan Rodrigues and David Warsofsky from the Penguins for Kasperi Kapanen, Jesper Lindgren and Pontus Aberg.
The Stars have signed Ryan Shea to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Bemstrom will be scratched in Game 4 vs. the Lightning.
