  • Kevin Bahl D | CGY

    Flames' Kevin Bahl: Exits Tuesday's game

    Bahl sustained a lower-body injury and won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Stars.

    Bahl was injured early in the first period and couldn't continue. It's unclear if he'll be able to shake off the injury in time to play Thursday in Colorado. If he can't, Brayden Pachal will likely enter the lineup.

  • Ducks' Nathan Gaucher: Tallies twice in AHL win

    Gaucher scored two goals in AHL San Diego's 5-2 win over San Jose on Tuesday.

    Gaucher recently completed a stint in the NHL, where he made three appearances and added six hits and two shots on net. He has 14 goals, 28 points and a plus-4 rating over 58 appearances in the AHL this season. He's logged three straight multi-point efforts around his call-up and should remain productive in the AHL.

  • Devin Cooley G | CGY

    Flames' Devin Cooley: Starting in Dallas

    Cooley will guard the road goal against Dallas on Tuesday, according to Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

    Cooley is coming off a 36-save performance in Saturday's 5-3 win over Anaheim. He has a 10-9-5 record this campaign with a 2.63 GAA and a .913 save percentage through 29 appearances. Dallas ranks ninth in the league with 3.29 goals per game this season.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting in Minnesota

    Daccord will start in goal on the road versus the Wild on Tuesday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

    Daccord could be the Kraken's primary starter down the stretch after Philipp Grubauer (lower body) was injured Monday versus the Jets. The Kraken also have Matt Murray on the roster. Daccord is winless in his last five outings, allowing 18 goals on 121 shots in that span, so he is a risky option in this tough matchup.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Remains shelved Tuesday

    Cirelli (undisclosed) will miss Tuesday's road contest against the Senators, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

    Cirelli is set to miss his second consecutive game due to an undisclosed injury. Overall, the 28-year-old center has 52 points, 121 shots on net, 47 hits and 43 blocked shots through 68 games this season. It's unclear whether Cirelli will be kept out of the lineup for an extended period of time, but his status at the team's upcoming morning skates could provide more information. His next chance to return to Tampa Bay's lineup is Thursday against the Canadiens.

  • Canadiens' Joe Veleno: Not available Tuesday

    Veleno (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Panthers, Marc Antoine Godin of Radio Canada reports.

    Veleno had played in nine of the last 10 games, exclusively in a bottom-six role. This is his second illness in as many months, but the 26-year-old should be back in the mix soon. He's day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Lightning.

  • Justin Faulk D | DET

    Red Wings' Justin Faulk: Ready to rock

    Faulk (lower body) will return to the lineup against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

    Following a two-game absence, Faulk will replace Jacob Bernard-Docker in Tuesday's lineup. The 34-year-old Faulk has compiled 12 goals, 35 points, 131 shots on net, 125 blocked shots and 66 hits in 73 games this season between Detroit and St. Louis.

  • Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Still out Tuesday

    Hagel (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Senators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    Hagel's absence will reach four games. The 27-year-old winger's status beyond Tuesday hasn't been announced yet. The Lightning have numerous injuries up front, but they will likely remain cautious through the end of the regular season, so it's unclear if Hagel will be cleared for Thursday versus the Canadiens.

  • Lightning's Jonas Johansson: Patrolling road crease

    Johansson will draw the road start in Tuesday's clash against the Senators, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.

    Johansson will look to start a win streak in Tuesday's contest after picking up a victory in his last appearance against Nashville on March 29. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has an 11-9-2 record, a 3.21 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. He'll face off against the Senators, who should pose a decent challenge with the league's eighth-best 3.31 goals per game this season.

  • Miles Wood LW | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Miles Wood: Set to play

    Wood (illness) is expected to play against Detroit on Tuesday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Despite being absent from Tuesday's morning skate, Wood will play against the Red Wings. He has registered eight goals, 14 points, 65 shots on net and 60 hits across 49 appearances this season.
