Nichushkin will not be available for Monday's game vs. the Wild and will likely miss their first three games to start the week. Expect J.T. Compher to move into the top-6 with Nichushkin out.
The Oilers woes continue with Skinner getting added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday morning. With Mike Smith also banged up right now, expect Mikko Koskinen to start on Thursday.
Perunovich will come out of the lineup on Monday due to an undisclosed injury. Replacing him will be Colton Parayko, who is set to return from the COVID-19 protocol list.
Brown missed two games with a non-COVID illness but is set to play Monday vs. the Predators. Brown, who has six points (3G / 3A) in 15 games since joining the Blues, will centre the third line with Brandon Saad and David Perron on his wings on Monday.
Perron missed two games while in COVID-19 protocol but will be back Monday vs. the Predators. Perron, who has 20 points (8G / 12A) in 25 games this season, is expected to skate on the third line with Logan Brown and Brandon Saad.
Ristolainen missed one game while in COVID-19 protocol but was a healthy scratch Saturday as he got himself back up to speed. Ristolainen re-enters the Flyers lineup with eight points (1G / 7A) in 33 games while averaging 21:19 TOI/gm.
Holtby missed three games while on the COVID-19 protocol list but is set to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear whether or not Holtby or Jake Oettinger will start vs. the Canadiens.
Gurianov missed three games while on the COVID-19 protocol list but is set to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Gurianov was back on a line with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin in Monday's practice session.
Girgensons suffered an lower-body injury on Saturday and being moved to IR means that he will miss at least three games. Peyton Krebs (COVID-19 protocol) will replace him in the lineup on Monday.
Luukkonen suffered a lower-body injury last Tuesday and was listed as week-to-week, so moving him to IR created a roster spot for reinforcements. He'll be eligible to be activated whenever he is healthy.
Greiss will likely miss one or two games while in COVID-19 protocol, so look for Alex Nedeljkovic to start Monday afternoon and Calvin Rickard to serve as his backup.
With Miller going on IR, Mattias Samuelsson was recalled from Rochester (AHL) and will replace him in the lineup on Monday afternoon. Miller will miss at least one week.
Samuelsson has scored two goals with 13 assists (15 points) in 20 AHL games this season. Monday will be his season debut but has appeared in 12 NHL games since being drafted in the second round in 2018.
Bogosian recently returned to the Lightning lineup but suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Stars on Saturday. Bogosian will be out until late January/early February.
