Nutivaara (undisclosed) will make his season debut on Friday.
Goalie Start
Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.
The Rangers placed Ryan Reaves (lower-body) on IR.
Reaves was hurt early in Monday's game vs. the Flames and did not return. Moving Reaves to IR means that the Rangers will not have to make a move to activate Kaapo Kakko, who is expected to return to the lineup on Friday.
Line Change
Eklund will draw back into the Sharks lineup on Tuesday.
Eklund was a healthy scratch in Boston on Sunday but will be back in the lineup in Nashville. Eklund, who has three assists in his first four NHL games, will skate on a line with Tomas Hertl and Kevin Labanc.
Goalie Start
Nedeljkovic led the Red Wings onto the ice for warmups.

Line Change

Goalie Start
Nedeljkovic starts Thursday vs. the Flames.
Line Change
Kurashev will be a healthy scratch on Thursday.
Kurashev will be replaced in the lineup by Dylan Strome. According to Jeremy Colliton he is scratching Kurashev because "he was one of our best forwards in camp and preseason. And we need him to get back to that level. Sometimes coming out is what you need to get refocused and back to the level you can play at.”
Goalie Start
Nedeljkovic was the first goalie off of the ice at the Red Wings morning skate.
Liljegren will be a healthy scratch on Monday.
Liljegren was in the lineup on Saturday but will sit with Justin Holl (illness) returning to the lineup.
The Avalanche have recalled Martin Kaut from Colorado (AHL).
Kaut has picked up two assists in his first two AHL games this season and could make his season debut with Colorado on Tuesday. The Avalanche played with just 11 forwards on Saturday, so both Kaut and Mikhail Maltsev should draw in vs. the Capitals.
Klingberg (lower-body) will not play Saturday in Boston.
Klingberg is day-to-day with a lower-body injury that he suffered in the Stars' season opener. Stars head coach Rick Bowness is hoping that Klingberg will be back either tomorrow in Ottawa or Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
Liljegren will draw into the Maple Leafs lineup on Saturday.
With Justin Holl out, Liljegren will make his season debut vs. the Senators. The 22-year-old, former first-round pick, Liljegren has one assist in 13 career NHL games.
Line Change
Gaudette will make his season debut Friday in New Jersey.
Gaudette was a healthy scratch in the Blackhawks season opener but will replace Ryan Carpenter in the lineup on Friday. Gaudette impressed after being traded to Chicago late last season, scoring one goal with three assists in just seven games. However, a bottom-6 role likely won't lead to a whole lot of production in 2021-22.
Goalie Start
Nedeljkovic led the Red WIngs onto the ice for warmups.
