Ilya Lyubushkin will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday, prompting the Ducks to make Hagg a healthy scratch. Hagg has only played two of the last four games for the Ducks, recording three shots and five hits.
Hill is expected to make his return to the crease after a prolonged absence from an undisclosed injury dating back to November 30th. Hill returned to the lineup on December 17th but could not complete the first period before exiting the game with an injury. Before his injury, the 27-year-old Stanley Cup Champion was enjoying a Vezina-worthy start to the season, as he had a 10-2-2 record, 1.93 GAA and .933 SV%.

Kevin Shattenkirk will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Wotherspoon to re-enter the lineup. Wotherspoon played 19:13 time-on-ice in his last game, tallying one point (0G / 1A) and three hits.
Rondbjerg had four goals, 10 assists, eight PIMs and a -7 plus/minus in 25 games played with Henderson (AHL) but has earned another call up to Vegas Friday and is expected to draw into the lineup Saturday vs. Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old has appeared in nine games with the Golden Knights this season and has three points, 11 SOG, and a +3 plus/minus.
Eichel has been out for a week since leaving the Golden Knights' game on January 11th with a knee injury and is expected to miss a further 4-6 weeks after undergoing a procedure Thursday. The 27-year-old finds himself injured again and has only once played in more than 68 games in a season across his nine year career. He currently has 19 goals, 25 assists, 173 SOG, 10 PIMs and a +1 plus/minus through 42 games prior to his injury.
Rondbjerg has played the last three games for the Golden Knights, being held without a point while registering two shots and two hits. He has been reassigned to the Henderson Silver Knights of the AHL.
Hagg will take the place of Radko Gudas, who was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury. Hagg is yet to register a point in two games with the Ducks this season.
Eichel did not play the Golden Knights' last game due to a lower-body injury and, after being placed on injured reserve, underwent surgery that will keep him sidelined week-to-week. Before his injury, Eichel had four points (3G / 1A) and 13 shots in his last three games. Chandler Stephenson will likely be elevated to the top line and see increased offensive deployment during Eichel's absence.
The Flyers are riding a three-game winning streak, two wins courtesy of Samuel Ersson between the pipes, but will turn to Hart on Monday against the St. Louis Blues. Hart was serviceable in his last outing, saving 26 of 29 shots (.897 SV%) in a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Flyers are slight +101 road underdogs against a Blues club that has lost two of their last three (1-1-1).
Eichel missed Saturday's game against the Flames due to the undisclosed injury and has now been placed on injured reserve. Eichel's absence leaves a major void in the Golden Knights' attack, as he's racked up 19 goals and 25 assists in 42 games this season. Eichel's move to the injured reserve means he'll be sidelined until next Saturday's game against the Penguins, at the earliest.
After being recalled from Henderson (AHL) on Thursday, Saville backed up Logan Thompson. Jiri Patera took the night off after starting their previous game in Colorado and will likely return to backup duties in their next game unless Adin Hill is cleared to play. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.
Hart did not play in Philadelphia's 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday but will return to the crease on Friday for the third time in the last four games. Hart has been limited to only one win in his last six appearances (1-2-2), allowing four or more goals three times and posting a subpar .890 SV%. That said, Hart has a favourable matchup against a Minnesota Wild club that has scored only 12 total goals in their last seven games (1-6-0).
After being recalled from Henderson (AHL) earlier today, Saville will back-up Logan Thompson on Thursday. Jiri Patera will take the night off after starting last night's game in Colorado. Saville has a .914 SV% and a 4-3-1 record with the Henderson Silver Knights this season.
