Sergachev (upper body) won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Devils.

Sergachev took a cleared puck to the head late in the second period, and the Mammoth held him out for the rest of the game. He produced three assists prior to his exit, giving him six points over four appearances this season. If Sergachev can't suit up Thursday versus the Bruins, Nick DeSimone will likely enter the lineup while Dmitri Simashev would be poised for an increased role.

Daccord will guard the home goal against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Jayd Serdy of the Kraken's official site reports.

Daccord is set to start for the third time in four games this season. He's won both of his previous outings, stopping 56 of 58 shots in two games against the Flames. The Golden Knights will present more of a challenge as one of the top teams in the Pacific Division.

Hart will start on the road versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Hart has gone 1-1-0 with six goals allowed on 46 shots over his first two games of the season. The 28-year-old will start for the third time in four contests for Vegas. Seattle has started the year hot with 13 goals over three games, though 12 of those tallies came in two matchups against the Flames.

Foligno sustained an upper-body injury and won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Sabres.

Foligno didn't come out of the locker room for the second period and was ultimately ruled out during the second intermission. If the 38-year-old misses additional time, Nico Sturm will likely enter the lineup in a bottom-six role.

Yurov (upper body) is expected to be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Sabres after taking the ice for warmups, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Yurov and Nico Sturm were both on the ice, but Yurov took rushes alongside Kirill Kaprizov. The 22-year-old Yurov was banged up Saturday versus the Bruins. He's earned one assist, two shots on net and three hits over two contests so far this season.

Ersson is starting Tuesday's road game against the Red Wings, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Ersson replaced Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) in the third period of Monday's 4-1 victory over the Bruins and allowed a goal on nine shots. Ullmark won't dress for the second half of the back-to-back set, so Ersson will make his first start of the season Tuesday, while Jonas Johansson will operate as the backup. Ersson made 33 regular-season appearances for Philadelphia last year, going 14-11-5 with a 3.12 GAA and .870 save percentage.

Demidov (lower body) was placed on injured reserve by the Canadiens on Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Demidov's placement on injured reserve is simply procedural after the Canadiens announced Tuesday that he'll be sidelined for 2-4 weeks due to a lower-body injury. The 20-year-old appeared in all 82 regular-season games for Montreal last year and recorded 19 goals, 43 assists, 34 PIM, 28 hits and 26 blocked shots while averaging 15:30 of ice time.

Dries was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday, per the NHL Media Site.

Dries was called up by the Red Wings on Tuesday in a corresponding move to Mason Appleton (undisclosed) being shifted to injured reserve. Prior to his call-up, the 32-year-old Dries was off to a strong start with AHL Grand Rapids, where he has three goals, four points and seven shots on net across two games. The Wings likely made the call-up for him to play Tuesday, so expect to see him in a bottom-six role ahead of his first NHL appearance of the campaign.

Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said Tuesday that Celebrini (lower body) is considered day-to-day, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Celebrini was a late scratch for Monday's road matchup against the Stars and is still being evaluated Tuesday to determine the severity of his lower-body injury. However, Warsofsky clarified Tuesday that Celebrini didn't sustain his injury during Monday's warmups. It's not yet clear whether Celebrini will be available for Thursday's game against the Blues, but he's expected to remain with the Sharks to conclude their road trip. If the 20-year-old is forced to miss additional time, Ty Dellandrea is a candidate to remain in the lineup.

Appleton (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Red Wings on Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

The Red Wings announced Tuesday that Appleton is week-to-week due to an unspecified injury, so it isn't particularly surprising to see him land on injured reserve. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Carter Mazur is a candidate to see increased time in the lineup during Appleton's absence.
