Pionk has missed the last two games but will replace Ville Heinola in the lineup on Tuesday. Pionk, who has three goals and 28 assists (31 points) in 52 games, should be back on PP1 vs. Vancouver.



Pionk missed Friday's practice and will be held out of the lineup on Saturday with what head coach Paul Maurice called "minor." With Pionk sidelined, Jordie Benn will draw back into the lineup.


Vesalainen played in four straight games but skated just 5:55 TOI on Monday. He will come out of the lineup with Jansen Harkins replacing him on the fourth line.



Lowry has missed the last four games with a concussion that he suffered on April 22nd vs. the Maple Leafs. In Sunday's practice he skated in his familiar spot on the third line and looks like he'll be available for Monday's game in Ottawa. Lowry, who serves as more of a checking line centre, has tallied eight goals with 12 assists (20 points) in 46 games.





Lowry was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. the Maple Leafs after a high hit from Alex Galchenyuk. While he has not been diagnosed with a concussion, Lowry is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not be available for Saturday's rematch.
