Krug has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup tonight in Los Angles. Krug, who has 29 points (1G / 28A) in 48 games this season, will be back on the top pairing and top power-play unit.
Fowler was forced to leave Monday's game in St. Louis but will be available for the rematch on Wednesday. Fowler has scored two goals with four assists (six points) in his last 10 games.
Carlo has been sidelined since April 3rd but will return to the lineup on Tuesday. Carlo will replace Kevan Miller, who sits in the second half of a back-o-back. Carlo has two goals and one assist in 23 games this season.
Suter was a healthy scratch on Saturday but will replace Brett Connolly in the lineup on Monday. The Blackhawks continue to rotate bodies in and out. Suter has no points in his last three games and has 23 points (13G / 10A) in 50 games this season.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that Carlo and Kevan Miller will each play a game in the back-to-back in New Jersey but won't play the same game. So Carlo will be back in either Monday or Tuesday but won't play both. It seems more likely that Miller will dress Monday and sit out Tuesday, clearing the way for Carlo.
Holl took a puck to the face in Saturday's win over the Canucks and will not be available for Monday's game in Montreal. Head coach Sheldon Keefe said he doesn't expect Holl to miss too much time beyond Monday. With Holl out, look for Timothy Liljegren to draw back into the lineup.
Parayko missed Monday's game against the Avalanche but will be a game-time decision Wednesday in Minnesota. Parayko, who has one goal and nine assists (10 points) in 24 games this season, will be one of seven defensemen if he plays.
Drouin has been held out of the last three games and will take an indefinite leave of absence starting on Wednesday. This opens the door for Cole Caufield to remain in the Canadiens lineup moving forward. We wish Drouin all the best.
