Harris will play Tuesday after being a healthy scratch for the last two games. Harris will replace Corey Schueneman in the lineup and comes in with no points in his first five career NHL games.
Line Change
Perreault will be back in the Canadiens lineup on Tuesday.
Perreault will play for the first time since March 29th, replacing Joel Armia (personal) in the lineup vs. the Wild. Perreault has only appeared in 20 games this season, scoring three goals with three assists (six points).
Line Change
Dauphin will draw into the Canadiens lineup on Tuesday.
Dauphin has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Jake Evans (illness) in the lineup on Tuesday. Dauphin has picked up two goals and four assists (six points) in his last 13 games.
Schueneman will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday.
The Canadiens have been rotating defensemen in and out of the lineup recently and Schueneman will be replaced by Jordan Harris on Tuesday.
Matthews (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday vs. the Flyers.
Matthews was a bit of a surprise scratch vs. the Islanders on Sunday and will miss his second straight game on Tuesday. Matthews skated before the Maple Leafs' morning skate and is feeling better but is still considered day-to-day.
Armia has been granted a leave of absence for personal reasons.
Armia has travelled back to Finland to attend to some personal reasons, so he will not play Tuesday vs. the Wild. It's unclear when Armia will be back with the team but Mathieu Perreault will replace him in Tuesday's game.
Evans (illness) will not play on Tuesday.
Evans missed Tuesday's morning skate due to illness and will not play vs. the Wild. It hasn't been determined if Evans is dealing with COVID-19 but consider him day-to-day for now. He will be replaced by Laurent Dauphin.
Pezzetta has been suspended for two games for an illegal check on T.J. Oshie on Saturday.
Pezzetta willl miss Tuesday's game vs. the Wild and Thursday's game vs. the Flyers after being suspended on Monday. Pezzetta is eligible to return to the lineup in Ottawa on Saturday.

Lauzon is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Lauzon took an ugly-looking fall early in Saturday's game vs. the Blackhawks and is expected to miss an extended period of time. Matt Benning replaced Lauzon in the lineup on Sunday and will likely remain in the lineup moving forward.
Chiasson (illness) was scratched from Monday's lineup and is questionable to play Tuesday.
Chiasson has been playing very well recently, scoring six goals with four assists (10 points) in his last seven games. He was a late scratch on Monday and that leaves him questionable to play in the second half of the Canucks' back-to-back when they take on the Senators on Tuesday.
Horvat (lower-body) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Horvat suffered a lower-body injury last Thursday and will miss at least two weeks. This is a tough blow for a Canucks team that is fighting for a playoff spot in the Western Conference. Brock Boeser took Horvat's spot in the lineup on Monday.
Froden (lower-body) did not travel to St. Louis.
Froden suffered a lower-body injury vs. the Penguins on Saturday and will not play Tuesday in St. Louis. With Froden hurt and David Pastrnak still out, Curtis Lazar skated on the Bruins' second line in Monday's practice.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
