NHL Hockey Player News
Barre-Boulet was lost briefly on waivers but was re-claimed from the Kraken late last week. Barre-Boulet will replace Pat Maroon in the Lightning's bottom-6 on Monday.
Maroon and his wife just had a baby, so Alex Barre-Boulet will replace him in the bottom-6 on Monday. This will also make Maroon questionable for Tuesday's game in Pittsburgh.
Nic Dowd is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, so Lapierre will draw back into the bottom-6 on Monday. Lapierre scored a goal in his NHL debut and has picked up two shots and two PIMS in two career games.
Dowd did not travel to Ottawa for Monday's game and is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. With Dowd out, Lars Eller will shift to the fourth line in his spot and Hendrix Lapierre will draw back into the lineup.
Dermott did not play Saturday in Pittsburgh but is expected to replace Timothy Liljegren in the lineup in Carolina. Dermott has one assist while averaging 13:44 TOI/gm in five games this season.
Buchnevich missed the Blues' game in Vegas and vs. the Kings but will return to the lineup on Monday. Buchnevich scored one goal with one assist in his first two games with the Blues.
Boqvist was on the ice for the morning skate but did not finish the session. Head coach Brad Larsen said that Boqvist "has some issues going on" physically. Dean Kukan will replace Boqvist in the lineup and Jake Bean will take his spot on PP2.
