Hutton missed Saturday’s game with what was believed to be mumps, but he was misdiagnosed. Hutton is feeling better and will suit up tonight vs. the Red Wings. He comes into Tuesday with four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 50 games this season.
Lehner allowed five goals on 37 shots in the Sabres’ loss to the Blackhawks last Sunday. After a bye week, Lehner will get back in goal tonight in Colorado. He has gone 5-4-1 with a 2.20 GAA and .942 SV% in his last 10 starts and posted a 23-save shutout in his first start against the Avalanche, which came just nine days ago.
Marner will miss his fifth consecutive games with an upper-body injury that he suffered 10 days ago. Marner was on the ice for the Maple Leafs’ morning skate and head coach Mike Babcock said that he looked like the best player out there and didn’t know why he’s not playing tonight.
Marner will miss his fourth consecutive games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Wednesday. Marner skated with a small group of players this morning, which is a good sign, but monitor his status leading up to Saturday’s game vs. Montreal.
Stone missed Tuesday’s game in New Jersey with a neck injury that he suffered on a hit from Jacob Trouba on Sunday. Stone was fortunate to avoid a concussion on the play and could end up only missing two games. Monitor his status leading up to the Sunday-Monday back-to-back.
Barbashev had two goals and one assist in 12 games during his call-up. The Blues bye week starts today, so Barbashev and Magnus Paajarvi have been returned to Chicago, but are expected to return to the Blues before their game on Sunday.
Marner will miss his third consecutive game with an upper-body injury, but his movement to IR was a way to create a roster spot to recall Frederik Gauthier and Marner remains a possibility for Thursday’s game against the Rangers. With Marner out, Josh Leivo will skate in the top-6 again tonight.
Stone was down on the ice for a bit before retiring to the dressing room for the night. Trouba faces a hearing for the hit, but Stone could be out of the lineup longer. The Senators also lost Mike Hoffman and Tommy Wingels last night, so they need some good news on the injury front.
Marner left Wednesday’s game in Columbus after crashing hard into the side boards and missed yesterday’s practice, so it’s not a big surprise that head coach Mike Babcock announced that Marner will miss both games of the Maple Leafs’ Saturday-Sunday back-to-back. He is considered day-to-day.
Lehner stopped all 23 shots that he faced in the Sabres’ shutout win over the Avalanche on Thursday. Lehner has won three of his last four starts while posting a 1.77 GAA, .950 SV% and one shutout. This afternoon he will face the Blues for the second time this season—in his first start against St. Louis he stopped 27 of 30 shots in a 4-1 loss.
Theodore failed to record a point while playing in five straight games, and will head back to San Diego (AHL), which suggests Sami Vatanen (lower-body) will return to the lineup. Theodore has fallen behind Brandon Montour on the depth chart, which is why he’s heading back and Montour stays.
Marner was hurt on Wednesday and missed today’s practice, which puts his status for Saturday’s game in serious jeopardy. Head coach Mike Babcock called the rookie “day-to-day” and will likely have more on him after Saturday’s morning skate.
Lehner allowed two goals on 41 shots in the Sabres’ win in Ottawa on Tuesday. Lehner will make his fifth consecutive start after going 2-2-0 with a 2.78 GAA and .931 SV% in the previous four. He is a must-start tonight vs. the NHL’s worst team in Buffalo—he has gone 6-9-3 with a 2.38 GAA and .928 SV% in 18 starts on home-ice.
Marner was hurt when he went hard into the side boards, but took his next shift before eventually retiring to the dressing room for the night. Marner played just 9:56 TOI and is questionable for Saturday’s game vs. the Senators. Monitor his status as the week progresses.
Lehner allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Sabres’ loss to the Canucks on Sunday. Lehner started three games in four nights last week and went 1-2-0 while allowing a combined nine goals on 118 shots (.924 SV%). In his first four starts against the Senators this season, Lehner has gone 2-0-1 with a 0.89 GAA and .971 SV%.
Lehner stopped 43 on 44 shots in the Sabres’ win in Toronto last night. It was an outstanding outing for Lehner, who is now 14-15-6 with a 2.52 GAA and .925 SV% on the season. Lehner has had a strong season and he stopped 18 of 20 shots in a 2-1 loss in his first start against the Canucks this season.
