Reichel was the No.17 overall pick in 2020 and is set to make his NHL debut on Thursday. Reichel will start his NHL career on the top line with Patrick Kane after posting 20 points (11G / 9A) in 20 AHL games. Reichel is only expected to play in two games before he heads back to the AHL to continue his development.

Galvas was a fifth-round pick in 2017 and is set to make his NHL debut on Tuesday. Galvas will replace Jake McCabe, who is in COVID-19 protocol. Galvas has one goal and five assists (six points) in 20 AHL games this season.

Foligno played just 4:50 TOI before leaving Saturday's game in Tampa with a lower-body injury. The Bruins have yet to provide any timeline on Foligno's return, but he's not expected to play Monday in Washington. Jake DeBrusk may be activated from the COVID-19 protocol list to replace Foligno in the Bruins' bottom-6.

Knight likely was not going to start Thursday's game anyways but he will now be out for at least five days. Expect Sergei Bobrovsky to start both Thursday and Saturday's games.

The Canadiens now have a total of 23 players on the COVID-19 protocol list. They are not scheduled to play again until next Wednesday, so they should get most, if not all of them back by then.

The Sabres placed three more players in COVID-19 protocol, bringing their total to five players ahead of their game Thursday vs. the Sharks. Mark Jankowski is expected to be back in the lineup on Thursday, replacing Bjork upfront.

The Senators COVID-19 protocol list now sits at eight players, with Sanford, Chris Tierney and Thomas Chabot entering protocol on Monday.

Donato has missed the last two games while in COVID-19 protocol but has been cleared to play on Saturday. Consider him a game-time decision.

The Kraken added three players to the COVID-19 protocol list on Sunday and Monday but they are hopeful they will get a couple of bodies back ahead of Wednesday's game vs. the Flyers.
