Tavares will miss at least two weeks with the knee injury but the concussion is a little more uncertain. All in all, this is great news for Tavares who was stretchered off following a scary collision in Game 1. Look for Alex Galchenyuk to draw in and replace Tavares in Game 2.

Jarnkrok was a late scratch from Game 2 due to a non-COVID illness but will play in Game 3 in Nashville. Jarnkork is expected to replace Brad Richardson in the lineup.

Tavares had to be stretchered off of the ice after taking an incidental Corey Perry knee to the head. It was a scary incident but was discharged after being "thoroughly examined and assessed by the neurological team at St. Michael's Hospital and the club's medical director" according to the team. Tavares is out indefinitely and likely won't be seen again during the first round.

Pacioretty was not on the ice for Tuesday's morning skate, so it seems unlikely that he will be available for Game 2 but calling him a game-time decision at least keeps the possibility open. After being shut out in Game 1, the Golden Knights could certainly use Pacioretty's services in Game 2.

Carlo is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup. Jared Tinordi, who was a healthy scratch last night, should draw in to replace Carlo.
