McIlrath, 24, was the 10th overall pick in 2010 and has had a tough time elevating his game to the NHL-level. The 6-foot-5, 220 lbs. defenseman has been waived a few times this season and will likely report to Grand Rapids (AHL). McIlrath has one goal and three assists in 22 AHL games this season and five points (3G / 2A) in 43 career NHL games.
McIlrath last played on January 18th and has only appeared in five games with the Panthers this season. McIlrath heads to Springfield, where he has one goal and one assist in six games this season.
Carlson missed the last six games with a lower-body injury, but will return to the lineup tonight in Brooklyn. Carlson will be on the top pair with Karl Alzner, but won’t return to the top power play. He has 25 points (5G / 20A) in 43 games this season.
Carlson missed the final six games before the All-Star break, but it looks like he’ll play Tuesday in Brooklyn. Carlson would return to his spot alongside Karl Alzner on the top-pair and comes in with five goals and 20 assists (25 points) in 43 games this season.
Beauvillier missed Tuesday’s game with a minor foot injury, but will be in the lineup when the Islanders take on the Canadiens tonight. The rookie winger has four goals and seven assists (11 points) in his first 32 NHL games.
Beauvillier was dinged up by blocking a shot during the Islanders loss to the Flyers on Sunday. Beauvillier will be replaced by Andrew Ladd (upper-body), who draws back in after a four-game absence. Consider Beauvillier as day-to-day.
Carlson was on the ice for the Capitals’ morning skate, but will miss his fourth straight game with a lower-body injury. The Capitals have a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday, so monitor his status prior to tomorrow’s game vs. the Sharks.
