Malkin will not travel to Buffalo for the Penguins game on Tuesday, which puts his status for Thursday’s game in Ottawa in question as well. Monitor Malkin’s status as the week progresses.

Acciari, 25, has appeared in 19 games with the Bruins this season, collecting two assists. The 25-year-old has spent the majority of the year with Providence, where he has 14 points (6G / 8A) in 30 games. He was recalled on Sunday because Patrice Bergeron, Drew Stafford and Tim Schaller were all missing from yesterday’s practice.


Malkin missed the Penguins’ morning skate and will miss tonight’s contest with an upper-body injury. Head coach Mike Sullivan said that Malkin has been dealing with an upper-body injury “for a while” and that they will “know more soon.”


Mantha has easily been one of the Red Wings best forwards this season and this is a questionable decision considering they are out of the playoff race. Mantha said that the decision was due to his “compete” level. Mitch Callahan will replace him in the lineup.

Dumba missed the last two games, including last night’s contest with an illness, but is set to go on the tail-end of the Wild’s Florida back-to-back. Dumba is expected to replace Gustav Olofsson in the lineup and enters play with 25 points (7G / 18A) in 59 games this season.
