Kylington suited up in the season opener but played just 3:27 TOI. Tonight he'll skate with Chris Tanev, which puts him in line for a much larger role. Kylington has picked up 16 points (5G / 11A) in 96 career NHL games.

Lee was a surprise scratch in Chicago on Tuesday but is over his stomach bug and will return to the lineup tonight. Lee scored in the season opener and will replace Kieffer Bellows on the top line.
Evans missed Tuesday's game with an undisclosed injury that he suffered vs. the Rangers on Saturday. Evans will re-enter the lineup on the fourth line with Artturi Lehkonen and Joel Armia on his wings. Evans has no points, five shots and a minus-1 rating in three games this season.
The Jets sent Cole Perfetti down yesterday and have recalled Toninato in a corresponding move. The 27-year-old has one assist in two games with the Moose this season.
Luostarinen missed the first three games of the season with an undisclosed injury but will play Thursday vs. the Avalanche. Luostarinen will replace Joe Thornton on the fourth line and skate with Frank Vatrano and Mason Marchment.
Tkachuk sat out the first few games of the season after signing on Senators' opening night. Tonight he will replace Parker Kelly in the lineup and return to the top line with Josh Norris and Drake Batherson.
Bernier will miss tonight's game vs. the Capitals, leaving Scott Wedgewood to start and Nico Daws to serve as his backup after being called up from Utica (AHL).
A few days after it was announced that Blake Wheeler tested positive for COVID-19, Scheiefle enters COVID-19 protocol. This will leave the Jets without two-thirds of their top-line when they take on the Ducks on Thursday. Look for Pierre-Luc Dubois and Paul Stastny to play increased roles with Scheifele out.
Daws started his 2021-22 season by stopping 25 of 27 shots in a win in his AHL debut. The 2020 third-round selection spent last season in Germany, where he was 4-6-0 with a 2.90 GAA and .897 SV%. There's no indication why Daws was called up because now the Devils have three goalies on the active roster.
Hughes dislocated his left shoulder on Tuesday night but an MRI revealed no further damage, and he does not require surgery at this time. According to the Devils, he has begun physical therapy and will be re-evaluated next week. Hughes was also moved to injured reserve.
It's unclear what the plan for Priskie is, a Panthers' regular must be banged up. Priskie has one assist in two AHL games so far this season and if he ends up playing Thursday, it will be his NHL debut.
Landeskog completed his two-game suspension and will return to the lineup tonight in Florida. Landeskog will likely return to the top line with Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen--he had one goal and one assist in the Avalanche season opener.
Hardman suffered a head laceration in Tuesday's loss to the Islanders and will not play Thursday vs. the Canucks. Head coach Jeremy Colliton said he has not decided who will replace him in the lineup.
