Kuznetsov was forced to leave Monday's game with an upper-body injury and was not on the ice for Tuesday's practice. The Capitals announced that Kuznetsov is day-to-day and Lars Eller moved up to the second line in practice.
Danault was forced to leave Monday's game with a mouth injury after a Tomas Tatar shot was deflected into his face. However, it doesn't look like Danault will miss any more time, so look for him to play tomorrow in Boston.
Hutton allowed two goals on 39 shots in the Sabres win in New York last Friday. He missed Sunday's game with a personal matter but will return to the crease tonight vs. the Red Wings. Hutton has won two of his last three starts while stopping 67 of 75 shots (.893 SV%) and draws a solid matchup with the Red Wings in town. However, they did beat the Sabres in a shootout last Thursday and are coming off of a 3-1 win over the Bruins.
Domingue surrendered four goals one 36 shots in the Devils loss to the Canadiens last Tuesday. Even with Mackenzie Blackwood posting back-to-back shutouts, Domingue will start tonight vs.the Panthers. In his last four starts, Domingue has gone 0-1-2 with a 4.74 GAA and .861 SV%. He'll look to get back in the win column vs. a Panthers team that is on a four-game losing streak of their own, scoring just 1.25 goals per game.
Kadri was forced to leave Sunday’s game with a lower-body injury and did not return. The timing could not be worse for Kadri, who has posted nine points (4G / 5A) in his last eight games, marking his hottest stretch of the season. Players like J.T. Compher and Tyson Jost will likely be force-fed top-6 minutes in Kadri’s absence.
Addison was a second-round pick (No.53 overall) in 2018 and has had a terrific season with the Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL). The 19-year-old has scored 10 goals with 33 assists (43 points) in 39 WHL games and will likely report to Iowa (AHL) once his season is over.
Galchenyuk’s career has completely crumbled into pieces. After posting 50-plus points in two of his last three seasons with Montreal, Galchenyuk has been traded three times in two seasons and has just 58 points (24G / 34A) in his last 117 games, including 17 points (5G / 12A) in 45 games this year. He will likely fill a similar bottom-6 role in Minnesota. Galchenyuk will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of 2020.
Zucker has scored 14 goals with 15 assists (29 points) in 45 games with the Wild this season. Zucker, who is a one-time 30-goal scorer, will get a huge fantasy boost because he will likely slot in the top-6 with Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. After this year, Zucker has three years left with a $5.5M cap-hit (per PuckPedia).
The Coyotes' goaltending situation is a mess. Raanta was supposed to start Saturday in Boston but was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury suffered in warmups. Then Darcy Kuemper was supposed to return to the crease tonight but suffered an injury in the morning skate. But now, Raanta is ready to go again, so he’ll face the Habs in Montreal. In his first start vs. the Canadiens, Raanta allowed four goals on 36 shots in a 4-1 loss.
Miska has been with the Colorado Eagles (AHL) but gets an NHL deal following an injury to Adam Werner. Mika has gone 11-4-3 with a 2.45 GAA and .925 SV% in 19 AHL games.
Kuemper was supposed to return to the Coyotes net on Monday but suffered an injury in the morning skate. There is no word on how long Kuemper is expected to be sidelined this time around but luckily Antti Raanta is ready to go in Montreal.

Watson was a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Colin Blackwell in the lineup tonight. Watson has posted 13 points (6G / 7A) in 45 games this season.
Jarnkrok has missed the last five games with an illness but will play tonight in Vancouver. Jarnkrok has often been featured in the Predators top-6 this season but will make his return on the fourth-line with Colton Sissons and Austin Watson.
