Stone missed Monday's game in Minnesota but will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's rematch. Alex Tuch moved to the top line with Stone out, so expect them to stick with the same lineup if he can't play tonight.
Eichel was in some discomfort following a hit in Sunday's game but finished the game. Eichel is considered day-to-day for now but there are rumblings that he could be out for a longer period of time. The Sabres would not confirm that, so he's likely undergoing further evaluation.
McNabb has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since January 26th but could be back on Monday. Head coach Pete DeBoer said that if McNabb doesn't play tonight, "it will be soon."
Pietrangelo was banged up late in Saturday's game in San Jose while blocking a shot and is listed as a game-time decision for Monday.
Stone was hurt midway through Saturday's game in San Jose and will be a game-time decision on Monday. If Stone can't play, expect Tomas Nosek to draw back into the lineup and Alex Tuch would most likely move into the top-6.
Eichel was a surprise scratch on Thursday and will remain out of the lineup on Saturday afternoon. Tage Thompson replaced him on Thursday but Jeff Skinner will be back in the lineup for him on Saturday.
Hertl tested positive for COVID-19 and head coach Bob toughener said he'll miss at least two weeks as he follows protocol. With the Sharks back in action on Saturday, look for Alexander Chmelevski to replace Hertl in the lineup.
Eichel missed Thursday’s morning skate and was a late-scratch for last night’s game vs. the Devils. Eichel was once again missing from practice on Friday and is listed as day-to-day. Consider him questionable for this weekend’s back-to-back vs. the Flyers.
Lauzon was forced to leave the outdoor game in Lake Tahoe after one shift with a fractured left hand. He underwent surgery to repair it on Wednesday and will miss at least one month, so don't expect to see him until late-March.
