Line Change
Peyton Krebs will be back in the Sabres lineup Thursday
Krebs draws back into the Sabres lineup after being a healthy scratch for Buffalo's last two games. the 21-year-old prospect is yet to score his first goal of the season but has one assist and four PIM across four games so far in 2022-23.
Samuelsson (lower-body) is expected to miss a few weeks.
Samuelsson went down awkwardly in a collision with Curtis Lazar on Saturday and is expected to miss a few weeks. This is probably the best-case scenario because it looked like the injury may have been serious when it first happened. Owen Power and Ilya Lyubushkin have been skating with Rasmus Dahlin since Samuelsson got hurt.
Norris (shoulder) will be out "long-term."
The Senators do not have a timeline for Norris' return but it's going to be long-term and they're not certain that he'll play again this season. Norris could require surgery but that decision won't be made for a few days. Derick Brassard filled in for Norris on Monday, but Shane Pinto could end up being the long-term solution with Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux.
Goalie Start
Reimer led the Sharks onto the ice for warmups.
Reimer is coming off a 30-save shutout his last time out as the Sharks beat the Flyers 3-0 Sunday night. He is having a strong start to his 2022-23 season, ranking eighth in the NHL in SV% (.933) while posting a 2.21 GAA. They will take on the Pacific-leading Vegas Golden Knights who rank 10th in the NHL in SOG per game (34.1) and are coming off a 3-1 victory to Toronto last night.
Zucker (undisclosed) will not play Tuesday in Calgary.

Reimer was the first goalie off of the ice at the Sharks morning skate.
Reimer is coming off a 30-save shutout his last time out as the Sharks beat the Flyers 3-0 Sunday night. He is having a strong start to his 2022-23 season, ranking eighth in the NHL in SV% (.933) while posting a 2.21 GAA.

Norris is expected to miss "at least a couple of weeks" with a shoulder injury.
Norris left Saturday's game vs. the Coyotes with a shoulder injury and is expected to be sidelined for at least a few weeks. The Senators are still waiting on his MRI results, so they don't have a definitive timeline, but he's expected to be out for multiple weeks at the very least.
Norris (shoulder) is not expected to play on Monday.
Norris left Saturday's game with a shoulder injury and did not return. The Senators have yet to provide an update on Norris' status because they need to wait for the swelling to subside before further evaluation. Because of that, it's highly unlikely that Norris will be available for Monday's game vs. the Stars. Expect Shane Pinto to play an expanded role in Norris' absence, and Derick Brassard could make his season debut in the bottom-6.

Felix Sandstrom will get his first start of the season Wednesday
Sandstrom draws his first start of the 2022-23 season as the undefeated Philadelphia Flyers head to Florida to take on the Panthers Wednesday night. In five career NHL games, the 25-year-old netminder has played well with a .910 SV% while still yet to achieve his first career victory.
Jordan Greenway will make his season debut Thursday
Greenway will make his season debut Thursday lining up alongside Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Foligno. The 25-year-old underwent offseason surgery on an upper-body injury and was expected to miss 5-10 games, making his return after three games a nice surprise for the struggling Wild.
Line Change
Jack Quinn will be out of the lineup Tuesday as a Healthy Scratch.
Head coach Don Granato claimed "He won't be out long" in reference to 21-year-old Jack Quinn being left out of the lineup Tuesday. The 2020 No.8 overall pick has struggled to find ice time early on this season averaging 10:29 TOI through his first two games while putting up zero points.
Goalie Start
Reimer will start Tuesday against the Islanders.
James Reimer takes the crease for the third time this season as the winless Sharks (0-4-0) head to Brooklyn to take on the Islanders. Although the 13-year-veteran is without a win, he has stood on his head in the early part of the season, keeping the Sharks in every contest with a 2.56 GAA and .924 SV%.He has had little help as the Sharks have yet to score more than two goals in any of their contests. He will hope to endless the losing streak tonight on the road.
Goalie Start
Reimer will start Friday vs. the Hurricanes.
Reimer will take the net for his second start of the 2022-23 season and first start on North American soil. The 34-year-old played well in the Shark's opener a week ago, stopping 28 of 31 shots while getting minimal offensive support. He and the Sharks will be hoping to enter the win column for the first time this season but have the daunting task of doing so against the powerhouse that is the Hurricanes.
