Fleury gave up four goals on 32 shots in the Golden Knights shootout loss in Montreal on Saturday.

As suspected, Lauzon was called up to play on Tuesday. He will replace John Moore and comes in with one goal in 17 career NHL games.
Krejci has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Golden Knights. With the bye week starting after tonight, it would be surprising to see Krejci play but monitor his status during warmups at 6:30 pm ET. If he plays, Charlie Coyle will move to the third line and Par Lindholm will be a healthy scratch.
Halak gave up four goals on 22 shots in the Bruins loss in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Halak has lost three of his last four outings, going 1-2-1 with a 3.22 GAA and .890 SV%.

With Michael Raffl out with an upper-body injury, Rubtsov will draw in on the fourth line on Tuesday. He has no points in three NHL games this season and has 12 points (2G / 10A) in 28 AHL games.
Raffl was banged up late in Saturday's game and will be held out of the lineup vs. the Penguins. The Flyers are playing it safe before the bye week, so German Rubtsov will draw in on the fourth line and Joel Farabee will move up to the Sean Couturier line.
Kampfer has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, so he'll go to the AHL to open up a roster spot for Jeremy Lauzon to come up.
Head coach Bruce Cassidy was frustrated with his blueline on Sunday, so it seems likely that Lauzon will draw into the lineup on Tuesday. Lauzon figures to replace Matt Grzelcyk and comes up with 13 points (1G / 12A) in 43 AHL games.
