Karlsson (groin) will miss at least two more games.
Karlsson has missed three of the last four games with a groin issue and will miss at least the rest of the Sharks homestand. Tim Heed will remain on the blueline with Karlsson sidelined.
Pittsburgh Penguins News
Rust is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury.
Karlsson (groin) is expected to play Tuesday.
Karlsson missed Sunday’s game in Detroit but will draw back into the lineup tonight in Boston. Karlsson had a slow start to the season but has had a great year, ranking tied for eighth among defensemen in points with 45 (3G / 42A) in 51 games.
Letang (neck) will not play Tuesday but isn’t expected to be out long-term.
Letang was hurt early in the Penguins outdoor game against the Flyers and it looks like they will go into Tuesday’s game missing both of their top-pairing defensemen. Letang is considered day-to-day, so monitor his status heading into Friday’s game in Buffalo.
Karlsson is day-to-day with a groin injury.
Karlsson is set to miss his second straight game on Tuesday but it sounds like his groin injury isn’t overly serious and that the Sharks are just being cautious. With a playoff spot all but locked up, the Sharks want to focus on making sure that he is right for the postseason, so won’t rush him back.
The Jets have acquired Kevin Hayes from the Rangers for a Brendan Lemieux, a 2019 first-round pick and a conditional draft pick.
Hayes is a former first-round pick (No.24 overall) back in 2010 and has enjoyed a breakout season in 2019. Hayes is on-pace for a career-best 39 assists and 58 points through 51 games. Hayes will likely replace Bryan Little as the Jets No.2 centre, where he could play with the likes of Patrik Laine, Nikolaj Ehlers or Kyle Connor.
Hayes will sit Saturday afternoon vs. the Devils.
Johnsson (lower-body) is expected to play Tuesday in St. Louis.
Johnsson missed Saturday’s game in Arizona after suffering an injury on a Brayden McNabb hit last Thursday. Johnsson is expected to replace Tyler Ennis in the lineup and skate on the third line. Johnsson has registered five goals and four assists (nine points) in his last six games.
Karlsson (lower-body) will return to the Sharks lineup on Saturday.
Karlsson has missed the last 10 games with a lower-body injury but will play Saturday vs. the Canucks. Karlsson will skate with Marc-Edouard Vlasic and enters play with 43 points (3G / 40A) in 47 games this season.
Johnsson is day-to-day with a leg injury; will not play on Saturday.
Johnson was forced to leave Thursday’s game in Vegas, after scoring a goal in just 5:32 TOI, due to a leg injury and it will keep him out of Saturday’s game in Arizona. Connor Brown will replace him on the Maple Leafs’ third line and Tyler Ennis will replace him in the lineup.
Malkin has been suspended for one-game for high-sticking Michael Raffl on Monday.
Malkin is on the ice for warmups; expected to return to the Penguins lineup on Monday.
Karlsson (lower-body) is “really close” to returning to the Sharks lineup .
Karlsson will not play Monday in Vancouver but head coach Pete DeBoer said that he is “really close” and that they don’t want to risk re-aggravating the injury.
Carter (lower-body) is “probably a few days away.”
Carter will miss his fourth straight game on Monday but could be ready for Thursday’s game vs. the Canucks. With Nate Thompson getting traded to Montreal and Carter still out, Austin Wagner will draw into the Kings lineup on Monday.
Malkin (upper-body) is expected to return to the Penguins lineup on Monday.
Malkin has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Monday in Philadelphia. Malkin centered the Penguins’ second-line with Phil Kessel and Nick Bjugstad on his wings. Malkin has registered 55 points (14G / 41A) in 50 games this season.
The Penguins have recalled Tristan Jarry from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
Matt Murray is day-to-day with an upper-body injury so Jarry is expected to serve as Casey DeSmith’s backup on Thursday. Murray is on the road-trip with the Penguins, so it doesn’t appear like Jarry’s stay with the big club will be an extended one.
Heinen will be back in the Bruins lineup on Wednesday.
Heinen was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace David Backes on the Bruins third line on Wednesday. It has been a tough season for Heinen, who has six goals and seven assists (13 points) in 49 games this season.
Carter (lower-body) will not play Tuesday in New Jersey.
Carter (lower-body) is questionable for Tuesday.
Carter did not return for the third period of Monday’s game in New York and is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Devils. Carter has had a tough offensive season so he shouldn’t be active in season-long leagues on a such a busy night in the NHL, especially on a back-to-back.
Karlsson (lower-body) will not play Saturday vs. the Coyotes.
Despite taking part in the All-Star weekend festivities, Karlsson is not ready to play on Saturday. Tim Heed will dress in Karlsson’s place.
