Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Slated to start Tuesday
Swayman is expected to get the starting nod on the road versus the Hurricanes on Tuesday, Kevin Paul Dupont of The Boston Globe reports.
Swayman has given up just two goals in each of his last two outings, but lost both due to a lack of offensive support, with the Bruins having generated just one goal in each of their last three outings. Still, the 27-year-old netminder has already set a new personal best with 30 wins this year and has the Bruins back in the playoff picture.

Penguins' Sergei Murashov: Called up from minors
Murashov was recalled from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Tuesday.
Murashov has played in five NHL games this season in which he is sporting a 1-1-2 record, 2.56 GAA and one shutout. With the Baby Pens, the 22-year-old backstop has been hard to beat, going 23-8-3 with a .922 save percentage and three shutouts. Widely considered the Pens' goalie of the future, that could start now with both Stuart Skinner (eye) and Arturs Silovs underwhelming in recent performances.

Sabres' Trevor Kuntar: Pots pair in AHL win
Kuntar scored twice in AHL Rochester's 4-3 shootout win over Cleveland on Monday.
Kuntar's third season in the AHL has seen him take a step forward with 19 goals and 34 points across 64 appearances. He's earned five points over his last five games for Rochester. Kuntar signed a two-way contract in December and made his NHL debut Dec. 11 versus the Canucks, but he's far from being a full-time option for the Sabres.

Pontus Holmberg RW | TB
Lightning's Pontus Holmberg: Might be set for extended absence
Holmberg (upper body) departed Monday's 4-2 loss in Buffalo, and head coach Jon Cooper said after the game that the 27-year-old is "not good," according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Holmberg was injured after being hit by Peyton Krebs, as Holmberg's left shoulder went into the boards following the collision, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com. Cooper also said that the winger has to be further evaluated, which effectively rules out Holmberg from being available for the Lightning's second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Ottawa.

Nicolas Hague D | NSH
Predators' Nicolas Hague: Not an option Monday
Hague will not be in the lineup for Monday's road matchup versus the Kings because of an upper-body injury and is day-to-day.
Hague sustained his injury in San Jose on Saturday. Adam Wilsby will slot into the top four in Los Angeles, while Ryan Ufko is set to draw into the lineup due to Hague's absence. The Predators will play in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Anaheim -- Hague should be considered questionable to suit up for that matchup.

Juuse Saros G | NSH
Predators' Juuse Saros: Starting in Southern California
Saros will be between the pipes Monday in Los Angeles, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Saros has won back-to-back games and five of his last six, but he's surrendered at least three goals in all but one of those contests. This will be the Finnish netminder's second start in Los Angeles in less than a week -- he made 29 saves on 33 shots during a 5-4 shootout win over the Kings on Thursday. Saros has fared well against the Kings throughout his career, going 8-3-1 with a 2.69 GAA and a .918 save percentage over 12 regular-season games against them.

Philipp Grubauer G | SEA
Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Injured in Winnipeg
Grubauer sustained a lower-body injury during Monday's game in Winnipeg and will not return.
Grubauer departed the game in the second period after appearing to tweak something while going to the ice to play the puck, per Sound of Hockey. The German netminder conceded three goals on 18 shots before giving way to Joey Daccord. Daccord and Matt Murray will be the options to start in Minnesota on Tuesday, while Grubauer should be considered day-to-day for now.

Parker Ford C | WPG
Jets' Parker Ford: Sent to minors
Ford was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Monday.
Over four games with the Jets since being recalled from the minors on an emergency basis March 27, Ford registered seven hits and three shots while averaging 9:33 of ice time. The 25-year-old will link back up with the Moose, with whom he's produced six goals, 21 points and a plus-5 rating across 45 appearances in 2025-26.

Philipp Grubauer G | SEA
Kraken's Philipp Grubauer: Patrolling road paint
Grubauer will draw the road start in Monday's contest against the Jets, per the NHL Media Site.
Grubauer will grab his second consecutive start Monday after falling to the Blackhawks on Saturday. With Monday's start, he will have appeared in five of Seattle's last six games and is slowly taking the No. 1 goaltender spot away from Joey Daccord. Overall, Grubauer has a 13-11-4 record, a 2.59 GAA and a .910 save percentage across 31 appearances this season. He'll face off against the Jets, who rank 25th in the NHL with 2.80 goals per game this season.

Scott Sabourin RW | TB
Lightning's Scott Sabourin: Back in action Monday
Sabourin (lower body) will play in Monday's road game against the Sabres, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.
Sabourin will return to Tampa Bay's lineup after missing each of the team's last two games. Overall, the 33-year-old winger has four points, 89 shots on net and 52 hits across 22 games this season. He'll rejoin the Lightning's fourth line as the center between Corey Perry and Mitchell Chaffee.
