Lankinen will protect the road net against the Golden Knights on Monday, per Olivia McDonald of Canucks Insider.

Lankinen has one win through nine appearances in March, posting a 1-5-1 record while allowing 28 goals on 237 shots. He has gone 8-25-5 this campaign with a 3.65 GAA and an .876 save percentage across 42 appearances. Vegas sits in a tie for 14th in the league with 3.12 goals per game this season.

Kuznetsov (upper body) isn't expected to play against Colorado on Monday.

Despite participating in Monday's morning skate, Kuznetsov will miss his eighth straight game. He has picked up four goals, 12 points, 58 shots on net, 89 blocked shots and 75 hits across 52 appearances this season.

Brossoit was assigned to AHL San Jose on Monday.

Brossoit will return to the minors because Yaroslav Askarov (upper body) will start Monday's home matchup against St. Louis. The 33-year-old Brossoit has gone 11-3-1 with a 2.52 GAA and a .915 save percentage across 15 appearances with AHL San Jose this season.

Klingberg (upper body) isn't expected to play against St. Louis on Monday, according to Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Despite participating in Monday's morning skate, Klingberg will miss his third straight game. He has compiled 10 goals, 24 points, 79 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and 46 hits over 54 appearances this season.

Schwartz (face) will join the club for its road matchup against Edmonton on Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Schwartz can be considered a game-time decision to face the Oilers and could return from a 10-game absence. If the veteran winger does get into the lineup, it will likely be in a middle-six role and should include power-play ice time.

Dellandrea (lower body) is day-to-day, according to Max Miller of NHL.com on Monday.

Dellandrea remains on injured reserve and will miss his 30th straight game against St. Louis on Monday. It remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup, but he appears to be getting closer. Dellandrea has registered two goals, 11 points, 44 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 117 hits across 42 appearances this season.

Hofer will defend the road net against San Jose on Monday, according to Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site.

Hofer won three of his past four outings (3-0-1) while allowing only four goals on 115 shots. He has a 19-11-5 record this campaign with six shutouts, a 2.52 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 39 appearances. San Jose sits 18th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this season.

Askarov (upper body) will guard the cage at home versus the Blues on Monday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Askarov has featured in just one of the Sharks' last nine games due to injuries but appears to have put things behind him. With a back-to-back upcoming, Askarov figures to feature in two of the next three contests, with Alex Nedeljkovic getting the other game.

Jenner scored a goal on five shots, added four PIM and logged four hits in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.

Jenner opened the scoring at 6:17 of the first period. The 32-year-old has earned two goals and three helpers over his last seven contests, and that production has helped him get back into a top-six role. For the season, the veteran forward has 11 goals, 34 points, 114 shots on net, 128 hits, 53 blocked shots and 42 PIM over 59 appearances, production roughly in line with what he's done in previous campaigns.

Coyle scored a power-play goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Bruins.

Coyle's goal late in the first period stretched the Blue Jackets' lead to 3-0, but it didn't last. The 34-year-old was sizzling in early March, but his tally Sunday snapped a six-game skid. He's now at 18 goals, 56 points, 128 shots on net, 93 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 74 appearances. If Coyle can recapture the magic on offense, he's got enough time to earn just the second 60-point campaign of his career.
