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

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.

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.

Luke Glendening C | PHI
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.

Shane Pinto C | OTT
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.

Denver Barkey C | PHI
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.

Sean Couturier C | PHI
Flyers' Sean Couturier: Game-time call against Columbus
Couturier (upper body) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's home matchup against the Blue Jackets, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Couturier missed the last two games of the Flyers' road trip in California. The 33-year-old has struggled to produce when in the lineup -- he has just two goals and three points over his last 17 outings. Philadelphia has a lot up in the air for Tuesday's matchup, as Couturier is one of three forwards listed as a game-time decision against Columbus.

Jared McCann C | SEA
Kraken's Jared McCann: Slated to sit out in Florida
McCann (lower body) is not expected to be an option for Tuesday's road matchup against the Panthers, according to Sound of Hockey.
McCann is slated to miss his second straight contest. The 29-year-old winger is considered day-to-day at this time. His next chance to suit up will be in Tampa Bay on Thursday.
-
Joel Eriksson Ek C | MIN
Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Back in lineup Tuesday
Eriksson Ek (lower body) will suit up in Tampa Bay on Tuesday, per Joe Smith of The Athletic.
Eriksson Ek missed the last three games due to his lower-body injury. The 29-year-old center hasn't scored since Feb. 27 in Utah, and he has just two helpers and 23 shots on goal over his last nine appearances. The Wild are also getting Kirill Kaprizov back in the lineup Tuesday, so Nico Sturm and Hunter Haight will be healthy scratches as a result of the team getting two of its top players back against the Lightning.
-
Ross Colton C | COL
Avalanche's Ross Colton: Good to go
Colton (upper body) will play against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.
Following a six-game absence, Colton will return to the lineup. He has provided eight goals, 23 points, 137 shots on net and 137 hits in 60 outings this season.

Noah Gregor C | FLA
Panthers' Noah Gregor: Called up Tuesday
Gregor was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Tuesday.
Gregor has produced 11 goals, 17 points and a plus-7 rating over 25 appearances in the minors this season. He also has one goal and two helpers across 24 outings with Florida in 2025-26. The Panthers are dealing with several injuries up front, so Gregor could play with the big club against Seattle on Tuesday for the first time since Jan. 8 in Montreal.
