Elliott gave up six goals on 28 shots in the Flyers loss in Pittsburgh on Tuesday. It was a tough outing and ended an extended run of strong play for the veteran, who gets the nod on the tail-end of a back-to-back on Saturday. The Maple Leafs haven't been at their best but they still present a very difficult matchup, especially since they're well-rested and Philadelphia played last night.
Seabrook has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Dennis Gilbert in the lineup in Los Angeles. Seabrook has one goal and no assists in nine games this season.
Cernak was a late-scratch in New Jersey on Wednesday and is listed as a game-time decision for Friday's game vs. the Islanders. Cernak doesn't provide a lot of offence (1G / 0A) but has solid peripheral stats (3.2 hits/gm and 1.7 blocks/gm).
Vasilevskiy gave up three goals on 41 shots in the Lightning's loss in New York on Tuesday. Curtis McElhinney got the nod the following night, so Vasilevskiy will close Tampa Bay's week out with a start in Brooklyn. He hasn't been all that impressive yet, going 4-2-0 with a. 2.98 GAA and. 911 SV% in his last six outings.
Hedman left Tuesday’s game in the first period after sustaining a lower-body injury and will not be available in the second game of the Lightning’s back-to-back. Jan Rutta is expected to replace Hedman on the back-end.
Hedman was forced to leave Tuesday's game after playing just 6:37 TOI. While he hasn't been officially ruled out, it seems unlikely that Hedman will be available for Wednesday's game in New Jersey. Expect Jan Rutta to draw in for Hedman.
Cirelli was listed as a game-time decision and is not on the ice for warmups. Carter Verhaeghe will replace him in the Lightning's lineup.
Point was listed as a game-time decision but looks like he is good-to-go vs. the Rangers. Point has just one assist in his last three games but six points (3G / 3A) in seven games this season.
Cirelli was not on the ice for the Lightning's morning skate and head coach Jon Cooper called him a game-time decision. Monitor his status as the Lightning hit the ice for warmups at 7:00 pm.

Elliott stopped all 19 shots that he faced after replacing Carter Hart in the Flyers' 5-3 loss to the Islanders on Sunday. With Hart struggling, Elliott will start for the fourth time in five games on Tuesday. In his last four appearances, Elliott is 3-0-0 with a 2.02 GAA and .933 SV%. Tonight he faces a Penguins team that has lost three of their last four and ranks 13th in goal-scoring (3.25 GF/gm).
Vasilevskiy allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Lightning's win over the Penguins last Wednesday. Curtis McElhinney starts on Saturday, giving Vasilevskiy nearly an entire week of rest prior to tonight's outing in New York. The Rangers have lost six of their last seven and Vasilevskiy is 3-1-0 with a .913 SV% on the road so far. Suffice it to say that he's a must-start on Tuesday.
