Pietrangelo (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche.

Pietrangelo will miss at least one game while feeling ill. The 35-year-old's next chance to play is Thursday versus the Kraken. Nicolas Hague (illness) is also out, so Ben Hutton and Kaedan Korczak will both draw into the lineup Tuesday.

Evans (illness) will be available for Tuesday's matchup against Utah, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

After sitting out Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings, Evans could replace Cale Fleury in Tuesday's lineup. The 23-year-old Evans has five goals, 25 points, 59 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and 118 hits across 69 appearances this season.

Stastney was loaned to AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Stastney has contributed three assists, 15 shots on goal, eight hits and 24 blocked shots across 23 NHL appearances this season. Nashville dressed seven defensemen in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Montreal, but Jonathan Marchessault (lower body) will return to the lineup against the Islanders on Tuesday.

Savard (undisclosed) will play against Detroit on Tuesday, according to Arpon Basu of The Athletic.

Savard will return to the lineup after sitting out Sunday's 2-1 win over Nashville. He has earned one goal, 15 points, 47 shots on net, 173 blocked shots and 54 hits across 70 appearances this season. Savard will replace Arber Xhekaj on the third pairing versus the Red Wings.

Bahl recorded an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Bahl ended a seven-game point drought when he helped out on Adam Klapka's tally to tie the game at 1-1 in the third period. The 24-year-old Bahl is up to 19 points, 78 shots on net, 113 blocks, 100 hits and a minus-7 rating over 68 appearances. He'll have up to five games to pursue his first 20-point campaign, and he has a decent chance as a lock for top-four minutes with the Flames down the stretch.

Burroughs notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.

Burroughs set up a Quinton Byfield tally early in the first period. This was Burroughs' first appearance since March 3, as he filled in due to the absences of Joel Edmundson (upper body) and Drew Doughty (ankle). The Kings have clinched a playoff spot, and while there's still seeding to play for, they'll likely be cautious with any injuries for the rest of the regular season. Burroughs could see more time, but he has just three assists, five shots on net, 39 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 30 contests, so he's not a factor in most fantasy formats.

Oleksiak logged an assist and blocked five shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Oleksiak set up Matty Beniers' game-tying goal at 18:35 of the first period. The helper ended an eight-game skid for Oleksiak, who remains in a bottom-four role for the Kraken. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to 15 points in 78 appearances, matching his point total from 82 games a year ago. He's added 154 blocked shots, 69 hits, 65 shots on net, 30 PIM and a minus-2 rating in 2024-25, putting him on pace to miss the 100-hit mark for the first time since 2016-17.

Montour scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Kings.

Montour followed up a four-game point streak in mid-March with an eight-game skid that ended late in the first period Monday. His goal at 19:29 of the frame stood as the game-winner. The 30-year-old defenseman is up to 17 goals, 40 points, 219 shots on net, 95 blocked shots, 80 hits, 68 PIM and a minus-15 rating across 77 appearances. The 17 goals are a career high, and this is the second time he's reached the 40-point mark in his nine-year career.

Kylington was in the lineup for the third game in a row in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Kylington was a healthy scratch for the first seven games he was with the Ducks after being traded twice March 6 from the Avalanche to the Islanders and then ultimately Anaheim. He's since played in five of the last nine contests, though he doesn't have a point with the Ducks yet, while adding two shots on goal and three blocked shots. Kylington will likely continue to play as long as Jacob Trouba (lower body) is unavailable. Kylington will be a free agent this summer, but with just four points over 18 appearances, he may have to settle for a two-way deal if he wishes to stay in North America.

Helleson logged an assist and six PIM in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Helleson ended a five-game point drought when he set up Cutter Gauthier's second goal of the game. The 24-year-old Helleson has been a regular in the Ducks' lineup since late January, and he's put together a decent first full NHL campaign. He's up to 13 points, 56 shots on net, 89 hits, 67 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 51 appearances in a bottom-four role.
