Goncalves was limited to only 4:23 time-on-ice in Tampa Bay's most recent game, exiting the contest because of an undisclosed injury. The 25-year-old forward has 16 points (6G / 10A), 39 shots, and 42 hits in 46 games this season.
With Charle-Edouard D'Astous (lower body) on Injured Reserve, Tampa Bay has recalled Groshev from the Syracuse Crunch (AHL). The 24-year-old Groshev played one game with Tampa Bay earlier this season, his NHL debut, and recorded one assist in 13:03 time-on-ice ice.
D'Astous has been a surprising contributor on Tampa Bay's blueline this season, but he will miss at least a week after being placed on Injured Reserve due to a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old first-year NHLer is averaging 19:23 time-on-ice and has 17 points (3G / 14A) in 43 games.
The Lightning will hand Vasilevskiy his 32nd start of the campaign when they travel to Chicago on Friday. Vasilevskiy delivered another stellar performance in his last start, turning away 22 of the 23 shots he faced in 4-1 win over the Sharks on Tuesday. The former Vezina Trophy winner owns an impressive 21-7-3 record on the season to go along with a .916 SV% and 2.18 GAA. He's a great bet to stay in the win column tonight, as the Lightning enter action at -300 on the money line.
With Anthony Stolarz returning from IR on Friday, Dennis Hildeby was the odd man out on Toronto's roster and has been assigned to the Toronto Marlies (AHL). The 24-year-old towering netminder played incredibly well during his time filling in for Stolarz, with a 5-6-4 record, 2.90 GAA and .912 SV% in a career high 19 appearances.
Sabourin did not appear in any games during his current call up and will return to Syracuse (AHL) on Friday. The 33-year-old has appeared in nine games this year, picking up a goal, 3 points and 63 PIMs.
McDonagh has been plagued by injuries this season, playing only 18 games, but is expected to return before the Olympic Break in two weeks. The 36-year-old defenseman has eight points (4G / 4A) and is averaging 20:00 time-on-ice.
Harkins was a last minute addition to the Ducks lineup on Wednesday, slotting in for Mason McTavish (upper-body). Harkins has three goals and zero assists in 24 games this season.
Cirelli suffered an undisclosed injury late in the second period of Tuesday's game against the San Jose Sharks. The 28-year-old forward tested out the injury by taking a single shift in the third period, but left the game shortly after. Head Coach Jon Cooper was optimistic about Cirelli's status, but the team will wait for him to be further evaluated.
The Lightning will hand Vasilevskiy his 31st start of the season when they host the Sharks on Tuesday. Vasilevskiy came away with yet another victory in his last start, turning away 19 of the 20 shots he faced in a 4-1 win in Dallas on Sunday. Tampa's franchise netminder owns an impressive 20-7-3 record on the year to go along with a .915 SV% and 2.22 GAA. Vasilevskiy and the Lightning enter action on Tuesday at -300 on the money line.
With Chris Kreider returning from a two-game absence because of an illness, Harkins will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 28-year-old Harkins has three assists in 24 games this season.
