  • Flyers' Luke Glendening: Poised to play

    Glendening (lower body) is expected to play against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Kevin Kurz of The Athletic.

    Glendening should return to a bottom-six role after sitting out the last two games. Since being claimed off waivers from New Jersey on March 6, he has recorded one goal, one assist, nine shots on net, three blocked shots and 12 hits in five games with the Flyers.

  • Flyers' Denver Barkey: Set to play Tuesday

    Barkey (upper body) is expected to play against Columbus on Tuesday, per Kevin Kurz of The Athletic.

    After missing the last two games, Barkey appears poised to return to the lineup. He was alongside Trevor Zegras and Owen Tippett during Tuesday's morning skate. The 20-year-old Barkey has three goals, 11 points, 32 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and 34 hits in 32 NHL appearances this season.

  • Flyers' Sean Couturier: Slated for return Tuesday

    Couturier (upper body) is expected to play in Tuesday's home clash with the Blue Jackets, per Kevin Kurz of The Athletic.

    Couturier is set to make his return to the lineup following a two-game absence while the Flyers played on the road in California. He's had an inconsistent season when healthy, recording seven goals, 29 points, 101 shots on net, 71 hits and 36 blocked shots across 66 games. The 33-year-old captain will look to keep the Flyers' offense hot after scoring four goals in each of their past two games.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Hasn't resumed skating

    Rasmussen (undisclosed) hasn't resumed skating yet and could be at least another 7-10 days away from return to the lineup, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Tuesday.

    Rasmussen will miss his fifth straight game against Ottawa on Tuesday and remains in the treatment phase of his recovery. Rasmussen has chipped in six goals, 14 points, 64 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 62 hits across 61 outings this season.

  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Unavailable against Seattle

    Lundell (upper body) will not suit up versus the Kraken on Tuesday, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    Head coach Paul Maurice said Tuesday that Lundell may be out slightly longer than initially anticipated due to his upper-body injury. An exact timeline for Lundell is unclear at this time, but at a minimum, he shouldn't be expected to suit up against the Wild and Islanders on Thursday and Saturday, respectively.

  • Sam Reinhart C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Remains unavailable

    Reinhart (foot) won't play against Seattle on Tuesday, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.

    Head coach Paul Maurice mentioned a week ago that Reinhart has been dealing with a few problems. Richards, who also writes for NHL.com, confirmed Tuesday that one of those issues is a foot injury. Reinhart will miss his fifth straight game, and it remains unclear when he will be available to return. He has amassed 29 goals, 61 points, 166 shots on net and 59 hits across 64 appearances this season.

  • Ethen Frank C | WAS

    Capitals' Ethen Frank: Unavailable Tuesday

    Frank (lower body) is day-to-day and won't play against St. Louis on Tuesday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

    Frank will miss at least one game after being injured in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Colorado. He has produced 12 goals, 24 points, 90 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and 50 hits through 60 appearances this season. With Frank unavailable, Ivan Miroshnichenko will suit up versus the Blues on Tuesday.

  • Flyers' Luke Glendening: GTD against divisional opponent

    Glendening (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's home divisional matchup versus the Blue Jackets, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Glendening hasn't been in the lineup since Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win in Anaheim -- he potted a goal on four shots in that cross-conference matchup. If the 36-year-old forward ends up sitting out Tuesday, his next opportunity to suit up will be against the Blackhawks on Thursday.

    Senators' Shane Pinto: Opens scoring on power play

    Pinto scored a power-play goal on four shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

    Pinto has two goals and an assist over his last three games. The goals have both been on special teams -- his tally Thursday versus the Islanders was shorthanded. The 25-year-old center is up to 19 goals, 39 points, 137 shots on net, 81 hits, 40 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 60 appearances, showcasing his value as a do-it-all player in the middle of the Senators' lineup.

  • Flyers' Denver Barkey: Status in question Tuesday

    Barkey (upper body) will be a game-time call for Tuesday's home contest against Columbus, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Barkey sat out the Flyers' previous two games in Los Angeles and San Jose. Philadelphia has several moving parts for Tuesday's matchup, as Sean Couturier (upper body) and Luke Glendening (lower body) are also game-time decisions against the Blue Jackets.
