Kyle MacLean will draw back into New York's lineup on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets, sending Tsyplakov back to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old Tsyplakov's second-year struggles in the NHL continue, with only one point (1G / 0A) in 24 games. He had 35 points (10G / 25A) last year in his rookie season.
Matt Rempe will be a healthy scratch on Monday, allowing Othmann to enter the lineup against the Seattle Kraken. The 23-year-old Othman has played six games for the Rangers this season and is still searching for his first point.
Brzustewicz played in two straight games but he will be replaced by Brayden Pachal in the lineup on Saturday. Since coming up from the AHL, Brzustewicz has just one assist in 12 games.
Pachal played 13:57 TOI on Monday but was a healthy scratch for the last two games. Today he'll replace Hunter Brzustewicz on the third pairing. Pachal has yet to score and has just three assists in 22 NHL games.
Stromgren played 8:04 TOI in his NHL debut on Wednesday but was a healthy scratch on Thursday. He'll replace Blake Coleman, who is day-to-day, on Saturday.
Tsyplakov has been a healthy scratch for the last two games, but he will replace Kyle MacLean in the Islanders lineup on Saturday. Tsyplakov, who will skate on the fourth line, has just one goal and no assists in 23 games this season.
Joel Eriksson Ek suffered an undisclosed injury on Thursday and is questionable to play Saturday. With Jones getting called up, it suggests that Eriksson Ek won't play and Jones will draw in as the No.4 centre.
Backup Devin Cooley is reportedly ill and not quite feeling 100%, so Wolf will get the rare opportunity to make starts on back-to-back nights. Wolf took the loss in Montreal on Wednesday, allowing four goals on 35 shots in the 4-1 defeat. The 24-year-old netminder leads the league both in starts and losses heading into Thursday night's matchup, where the Flames enter action at +115 on the money line.
Parekh started the season in the NHL but struggled to acclimate before an injury sidelined him for a lengthy period. He was then sent to play for Team Canada at the U-20 World Junior Championship, where he excelled with 13 points (5G / 8A) in seven games. The Flames hope his bronze-medal success can give the 19-year-old some confidence whenever he returns from his injury.
Nemec has not played in nearly a month because of an undisclosed injury, but he will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 21-year-old Slovak defenseman was having a solid season from New Jersey's blueline before his injury, scoring 18 points (7G / 11A) in 31 games.
After a horrendous 2-9-2 start to the season, the Flames have played reasonably well, going 16-11-2, and miraculously find themselves only five points shy of a playoff spot midway through the season. Wolf's performance has also seen an uptick during that time, posting a 2.45 GAA and .908 SV% in 22 games (12-8-1). That said, the 24-year-old sophomore goalie has allowed four goals in two straight (0-2-0) and hopes to rebound on Wednesday when the Flames visit a Montreal Canadiens team with points in eight of their last nine games (6-1-2). Montreal enters the game as a +131 road underdog.
Hunter Brzustewicz will draw back into Calgary's lineup on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens, sending Pachal back to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old Pachal is averaging 13:25 time-on-ice and has three assists in 22 games this season.

Brzustewicz did not play in Calgary's most recent game, but he will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 21-year-old Brzustewicz is averaging 13:12 time-on-ice and has zero points through 10 games this season.
Stromgren was drafted in the second round, 45th overall, by the Flames in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 22-year-old Swedish forward has yet to play an NHL game and has 29 points (6G / 23A) in 33 games with the Calgary Wranglers (AHL) this season.
