The Senators lost Robin Lehner in Monday’s loss to the Hurricanes and according to coach Dave Cameron, Anderson is nowhere close to being back in goal. If Lehner is out of a significant amount of time, the Senators will be forced to turn to Andrew Hammond as their starter.
MacArthur was injured in a collision with his teammate Robin Lehner, which forced both players from the game. Coach Cameron did not have an update on MacArthur’s status after the game.
Lehner, who has been filling in for the injured Craig Anderson, was injured in a collision with his teammate Clarke MacArthur. Both players left the game and did not return. If Lehner’s injury is serious, the Senators will be left with their third and fourth string goalies going forward.
Perreault was crunched in the first period and hobbled off of the ice. He did not return, so expected an update on Perreault’s status on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Manson, 23, has one assist in 18 games with the Ducks. While in Norfolk he has collected three goals, six assists (9 points) and 23 PIMS in 23 games. His recall likely means the news on Sami Vatanen is not good.
Etem, 22, has registered two goals and four assists in 27 games with the Ducks this season. While in Nofolk he has recorded 13 goals and eight assists (21 points in 22 games.
Quick made 27 saves on 28 shots in the Kings 3-1 win over the Capitals on Saturday. After losing three in a row after the All Star break, he has won four straight while posting a 2.25 GAA and .910 SV%. He has a difficult matchup with the Lightning in town—however he made 26 saves in a 4-2 win in Tampa Bay on February 7th.
Tanev was reportedly spotted leaving the morning skate with an ice bag on his hand. With Tanev out, the Canucks will be without their top-pair because Alex Edler is also out. Alex Biega will make his NHL debut alongside Luca Sbisa in Tanev’s absence.
Rask gave up four goals on 24 shots in the Bruins loss in Vancouver on Friday. He has lost three straight games while allowing a combined seven goals on 78 shots (.910 SV%).

Boyle was expected to play after participating in the morning skate, but was listed as a game-time decision. He enters play having recorded goals in back-to-back games and four in his last seven contests.
Timonen, who has not played yet this season, has been skating on his own since February 6th, but will participate in the Flyers morning skate on Tuesday. This is a huge step for Timonen, who could be back in the lineup in late-February or early-March.
Predators GM David Poile said he expected to have Ellis back in the lineup in the last week of February or the first week of March. Ellis, who has been out since January 8th, has taken a little longer than expected, but he is finally making some progress according to Poile. With the addition of Cody Franson over the weekend, the Predators blue line is going to look really scary when Ellis returns.
Stolarz did not get into a game during his recall and with Rob Zepp now healthy, Stolarz will swap places with him and head back to Lehigh Valley. The 21-year-old is 7-10-1 with a 3.04 GAA and .911 SV% in the AHL.
When Steve Mason went down with a lower-body injury, the Flyers recalled Anthony Stolarz because Rob Zepp was dealing with a minor injury in Lehigh Valley. Now that Zepp is healthy, he has swapped places with Stolarz and will be in the lineup on Tuesday vs. Blue Jackets. Zepp is 3-1-0 with a 2.92 GAA and .889 SV% at the NHL level this season.
Edler will not be in the lineup against the Wild tonight because of a lower-body injury that he suffered on Saturday in Calgary. With Edler out, Yannick Weber will be back in the lineup and Adam Clendening will man the point on the Canucks top power-play unit. Consider Edler day-to-day until the Canucks release more information.
Vasilevskiy stopped all nine shots that he faced after taking over for Ben Bishop last Thursday. Since being recalled he is 1-0-1 with a 2.30 GAA and .926 SV% in two starts and two relief appearances.

Vasilevskiy stopped all nine shots that he faced after taking over for Ben Bishop last Thursday.

Subban had recently been sent down and did not get into any games during his recall. The 2012 first round pick has gone 10-10-3 with a 2.47 GAA and .920 SV% in Providence (AHL) and there is reportedly a lot of interest in him with the trade deadline looming. The belief is that he is being recalled and could start on Wednesday as an NHL showcase before the deadline. It is even more interesting because the game is vs. Edmonton, a team who is believed to be interested in Subban and a team with players like Jordan Eberle, who the Bruins are very interested in.
Michalek did not travel to Colorado with the team because he is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. With Michalek out, Brandon Gormley will be in the lineup and is expected to be paired with Oliver Ekman-Larsson. After tonight the Coyotes are off until Saturday, so Michalek could be ready to go by then.
