Lindgren was hurt in a fight with Nazem Kadri after hitting Joonas Donskoi and did not return to Tuesday's game. He was originally expected to face supplemental discipline but then the NHL Department of Player Safety changed their mind, making him eligible to play on Thursday. He has no points in his last seven games.

Grubauer allowed two goals on 30 shots in Colorado's win in New Jersey on Saturday. Pavel Francouz started last night vs. the Islanders, so they'll come back to Grubauer tonight in New York.

Grubauer allowed two goals on 30 shots in Colorado's win in New Jersey on Saturday. Pavel Francouz started last night vs. the Islanders, so they'll come back to Grubauer tonight in New York. He'll face a rookie netminder making his NHL debut and a Rangers team that has lost seven of their last 10 (3-6-1).

Fleury will get the night off on the tail-end of a back-to-back and Brett Kulak will draw in to replace the rookie blueliner.

Grubauer allowed five goals on 24 shots in Colorado's loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday. Grubauer has gone winless in his last six starts, going 0-4-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .895 SV%.

Grubauer stopped 38 of 40 shots in Colorado's 3-2 shootout loss in Dallas on Saturday. It was a great game for Grubauer but it extended his winless streak to five games (0-3-1).

This will be Hayden's first game since November 26th and will replace Michael McLeod in Columbus. Hayden has just one assist in 11 games this season.

Mahura played in three of the last four games with the Ducks but swaps spots with Jacob Larsson. The 21-year-old blueliner has four points (1G / 3A) in 11 NHL games and two assists in 10 AHL games in 2019-20.

Grubauer will make his first start since December 7th after missing three games with a hamstring injury.
