Hertl was forced to leave Wednesday's game after only a few shifts after falling awkwardly in a collision with Chris Tanev. Hertl tore both his MCL and ACL and will miss the rest of the season. An already difficult season for San Jose just got a whole lot worse. They'll now be without both of their top-2 centres for an extended period of time.

Lauzon played in the final game before the Bruins' bye-week, scoring the second goal of his NHL career vs. Vegas. He went to the AHL over the break and now has 13 points (1G / 12A) in 45 games with Providence.

Sissons was recalled from his conditioning stint prior to Monday's game, practiced on Tuesday but still won't play in Washington. Head coach John Hynes said that he could return tomorrow vs. the Devils or Saturday vs. the Golden Knights.

Hill was sent to Tucson during the Coyotes' bye week but returns to the Coyotes with Darcy Kuemper still out. Hill has gone 2-2-1 with a 2.40 GAA and .920 SV% in nine games with Arizona this season.

Sissons has been out with a lower-body injury since December 27th and spent the Predators' bye week on a conditioning stint with Milwaukee. Sissons just practiced with the team but did not play in a game. He skated as an extra in Sunday's practice, so don't expect him to be in the lineup on Monday.

Lehner stopped 36 of 38 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Jets on Sunday. Lehner is riding a three-game winning streak, posting a stellar 1.99 GAA and .938 SV% in the process. He gets set to face a Panthers team that played last night but have won five in a row while scoring an incredible 5.20 goals per game.

As suspected, Lauzon was called up to play on Tuesday. He will replace John Moore and comes in with one goal in 17 career NHL games.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy was frustrated with his blueline on Sunday, so it seems likely that Lauzon will draw into the lineup on Tuesday. Lauzon figures to replace Matt Grzelcyk and comes up with 13 points (1G / 12A) in 43 AHL games.

Saad has missed the last 12 games with an ankle injury but will play tonight in Toronto. Saad, who will replace Dylan Sikura in the lineup, could be back on the top line with Jonathan Toews. He has just 11 goals and eight assists (19 points) in 36 games this season.

Karlsson has missed just two games over the last four and a half years and has never missed a game in a Vegas uniform until tonight. Karlsson will miss at least a couple of weeks and Paul Stastny is the most likely candidate to move into the top-6.

Hill gave up three goals on 34 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Penguins on Sunday. Since being thrust into duty, Hill has gone 1-1-1 with a 2.94 GAA and .908 SV% in three starts and two relief appearances. On Tuesday he will face a Sharks team that is 4-1-1 while scoring 2.83 goals per game in their first six games of the calendar year.

Lehner stopped 35 of 37 shots in the Blackhawks win over the Ducks on Saturday. It was a fantastic outing for Lehner, who has lost just once in his last five games while posting a 2.96 GAA and .921 SV%. The Senators are a lot better in Ottawa but Lehner has dominated them (7-0-3) since they traded him following the 2015 season.

Flyers GM Chuck Fletcher met with the media on Tuesday and said that he expects him to play this year. Patrick has missed the first 46 games of the 2019-20 season with a migraine disorder and remains week-to-week.
