Line Change
Buchnevich is expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
Buchnevich has two goals and one assist in five games this season and it looks like he’ll come out of the lineup for Cody McLeod on Tuesday. The Rangers have not confirmed that he’ll be scratched, but he was totally off the power-play and rotated on the fourth line in Monday’s practice.
Bjugstad is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Bjugstad missed Monday’s practice so his status for Tuesday’s game is in question. The Panthers called the winger “day-to-day” so monitor his status during Tuesday’s morning skate. With Bjugstad absent today, Denis Malgin skated on the Panthers’ top line and Mike Hoffman moved back to the second line.
Krug will miss at least three weeks with a left ankle injury.
Krug suffered an ankle injury in the Bruins preseason finale and will be in a walking boot for three weeks. Krug will be re-evaluated after that period of time and his injury could leave the door open for rookie Urho Vaakanainen to make the opening night roster.
Krug is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
Krug was forced to leave the Bruins’ final preseason game with a lower-body injury, but head coach Bruce Cassidy did not have an update on his status. Consider Krug day-to-day until the Bruins release an official timetable. This puts his status for the Bruins’ season-opener in jeopardy.
The Blues have re-signed Oskar Sundqvist to a one-year deal worth $700K.
Krug (ankle) will not play in Game 5 and could be out long-term.
Fowler is expected to miss 2-6 weeks with a shoulder injury.
The Ducks are still battling for a playoff spot in the final week of the season, so this is a huge loss for them. Even if the Ducks are able to hold onto their playoff position, the loss of Fowler will hurt their blueline in the post season.
Faulk will not play Monday because of an upper-body injury.
Faulk is dealing with a lingering upper-body injury and will come out of the lineup for the fourth time in six games. Roland McKeown will draw into the lineup for Faulk.
Krug (upper-body) will “most likely” play on Sunday.
Krug has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but is expected to play tonight in Minnesota. Krug has four assists in his last two games and 39 total on the season to go with 13 goals (52 points) in 62 games.
Faulk (undisclosed) will come out of the Hurricanes lineup in Saturday.
Krug (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.

Krug (undisclosed) is on the ice for warmups; will play Thursday vs. the Panthers.
Krug (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Krug left Tuesday’s game with an undisclosed injury.
It is unclear what happened to Krug that forced him from Tuesday’s win in Carolina. Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy did not have any sort of update on Krug postgame, so he will likely be reevaluated on Wednesday and an update will follow. Krug was reportedly seen walking around without any obvious signs that he is dealing with a lower-body injury.
The Maple Leafs have recalled Calle Rosen from Toronto (AHL).
With Nikita Zaitsev battling an illness, Rosen has been summoned from the AHL, where he has picked up 17 points (1G / 16A) in 50 games. He had one assist in four games with the Maple Leafs earlier this season.
