Kuemper has only started one of the last 10 games for the Capitals but with an impending back-to-back against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Carolina Hurricanes, he would likely see some action if he can suit up.

Brazeau played only 3:45 of time-on-ice before exiting Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators with an upper-body injury. Brazeau has been a lineup regular for the Bruins for the last several weeks and had five points (4G / 1A) in six games before his injury.

Mark Giordano will likely be the odd man out of the lineup, allowing Rielly to make his return on Wednesday.

Siegenthaler has been sidelined with a concussion since March 11th. He'll draw back into the Devils' lineup as they continue to make a push for an unlikely postseason bid. The Devils did not confirm who will come out to make room for Siegenthaler, who has nine points (1G / 8A) in 49 games this season.
Verhaeghe left Monday's loss in Toronto and will be sidelined for at least one week. The Panthers are hopeful that he'll be back for the postseason, but this is obviously a huge blow to their top-6, which will also be without Matthew Tkachuk (illness) on Tuesday. Look for Vladimir Tarasenko to move up to the top line in Verhaeghe's absence.
Tkachuk will not play Tuesday in Montreal, which would be a big blow by itself, but with Carter Verhaeghe also sidelined, the Panthers are down two of their top scorers. Nick Cousins will draw into the lineup to replace Tkachuk.
Hertl has been sidelined with a lower-body injury after undergoing a procedure in his left knee at the beginning of February but made his Golden Knights debut at practice in a non-contact jersey on Monday, preparing to potentially play his first game before the end of the week.
