Wotherspoon will fill in for Kevin Shattenkirk, who is out with an undisclosed injury. Wotherspoon has no goals and three assists in 18 games this season.

Saville will rejoin the AHL's Silver Knights now that Adin Hill and Logan Thompson are both finally back healthy for the Golden Knights. Saville has posted a respectable .913 SV% in eight games with Henderson this season, though he's yet to see any game action with the Golden Knights.

Kevin Shattenkirk will draw back into the lineup on Wednesday, prompting the Bruins to make Wotherspoon a healthy scratch. Wotherspoon played 16:43 time-on-ice in the Bruins' 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, recording two shots and two hits.

Hill will 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%.

According to general manager Daniel Briere "Carter Hart has requested and been granted an indefinite leave of absence citing personal reasons. The club will have no further comment at this time." The 25-year-old netminder will take a leave from the Flyers after posting a 12-9-3 record, 2.80 GAA and .906 SV% in 26 games played in 2023-24.

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.

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.
