Rask missed Monday's practice but head coach Bruce Cassidy said that the plan is to start Rask on Tuesday. Rask started two of the three round-robin games, giving up five goals on 60 shots (.917 SV%). He did not face the Hurricanes during the 2020 regular season.

Korpisalo stopped all 28 shots the he faced in a shutout win over the Maple Leafs in Game 1. The Blue Jackets did a terrific job in limiting Toronto and Korpisalo was there to clean up the rest. As good as he was, Toronto is still a high-powered offence that should bring a better effort in Game 2, making Korpisalo a somewhat risky DFS play.

Korpisalo was set to become a restricted free agent this offseason but got a two-year extension on Friday. Korpisalo will make $2.2 million in 2021 and $3.4 million in 2022, which would be the first season of his UFA years. In the first year without Sergei Bobrovsky, Korpisalo went 19-12-5 with a 2.60 GAA and .911 SV% in 37 games (35 starts) while splitting the crease primarily with Elvis Merzlikins. Throughout his five-year career, Korpisalo has gone 60-43-14 with a 2.80 GAA And .908 SV%.

Chicago selected Mitchell in the second-round (No. 57 overall) in 2017 and he finished his junior season at the University of Denver with 32 points (10G / 22A) in 36 games. The 21-year-old defenseman was a part of Team Canada's World Junior team in 2019, scoring one goal with two assists in five games.

Wolff was an undrafted free agent defenseman from the University of Minnesota-Duluth. In his senior season, Wolff failed to record a goal while piling up 10 assists in 33 games.

Boston picked Swayman in the fourth-round (No.111 overall) in 2017 and the 21-year-old netminder just finished his junior season at the University of Maine. The Anchorage, Alaska native was 18-11-5 with a 2.07 GAA and .939 SV%, which ranked second-best in the NCAA.

Ottawa selected Kastelic with the No.125 overall pick (fifth-round) in the 2019 NHL draft. The 21-year-old centre served as the captain for the Calgary Hitmen in 2019-20 while leading the team in goals (38) and tying for the team-lead in points (68) in 58 games. Following a five-year WHL career, Kastelic is expected to join Belleville (AHL) for the 2020-21 campaign.

Rask allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Bruins loss to the Lightning on Saturday. The loss snapped a brief two-game winning streak for Rask, who comes into Philadelphia at 11-6-0 with a 2.21 GAA, .927 SV% and one shutout on the road this season. For the Flyers, they come in on a nine-game winning streak while averaging 4.33 goals per game.

Geekie was a third-round pick (No.67 overall) in 2017 and leads all active Checkers with 22 goals and is third with 42 points in 55 AHL games this season. Geekie is expected to replace Ryan Dzingel (upper-body) and skate on the fourth line with Nino Niederreiter and Jordan Martinook in his NHL debut.

Ducks GM Bob Murray said that Lindholm has no timeline for a potential return but the team also didn't say that they were shutting him down. If Lindholm does not return, he'll finish the year with two goals and 20 assists (22 points) in a career-low 55 games.
