Dalpe has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Stefan Matteau in the lineup on Monday. Dalpe has two goals and one assist in 11 games this season.

Laine missed Saturday's game in Carolina with an illness but will play Monday vs. the Predators. Laine's time in Columbus has not gone well, scoring just 10 goals with eight assists (18 points) in 41 games.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy said that Carlo and Kevan Miller will each play a game in the back-to-back in New Jersey but won't play the same game. So Carlo will be back in either Monday or Tuesday but won't play both. It seems more likely that Miller will dress Monday and sit out Tuesday, clearing the way for Carlo.

Holl took a puck to the face in Saturday's win over the Canucks and will not be available for Monday's game in Montreal. Head coach Sheldon Keefe said he doesn't expect Holl to miss too much time beyond Monday. With Holl out, look for Timothy Liljegren to draw back into the lineup.

Lowry has missed the last four games with a concussion that he suffered on April 22nd vs. the Maple Leafs. In Sunday's practice he skated in his familiar spot on the third line and looks like he'll be available for Monday's game in Ottawa. Lowry, who serves as more of a checking line centre, has tallied eight goals with 12 assists (20 points) in 46 games.
