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.
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.
Joshua has split his season between the NHL and AHL. He has two goals and one assist in six AHL games and one goal in 11 NHL games. Joshua will replace Mackenzie MacEachern in the lineup on Monday and skate on the fourth line.
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.
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.
The Maple Leafs will rest a couple of players on Thursday, Jake Muzzin being one of them. Timothy Liljegren will draw in to make his season debut.
The Maple Leafs will rest a couple of players on Thursday, Morgan Rielly being one of them. Ben Hutton will draw in to make his Maple Leafs debut.
Roy left Saturday's game in Anaheim with an undisclosed injury and did not return. He was not on the ice for Tuesday's practice, so it seems unlikely that he'll be available for Wednesday's game vs. the Avalanche.
Domi has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Kevin Stenlund in the lineup on Thursday. Domi, who has just seven points (2G / 5A) in his last 15 games, is expected to skate on the third line and PP2 in Tampa.
