Larkin missed Thursday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision in Dallas. Head coach Jeff Blashill anticipates that Larkin will be available tonight but monitor his status during warmups.

Leonard has appeared in all seven games this season but will be scratched Thursday in Colorado. The rookie had two assists in the season opener but has been held pointless in the last six games. Stefan Noesen will replace him in the lineup.


Getting added to the COVID-19 reserve list means that DeBrincat likely will not be available for the Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back in Nashville. DeBrincat's roommate Adam Boqvist was also added to the list, so Chicago could be without two of their best offensive weapons in a tough series with the Predators.


Talbot was forced to leave Friday's game vs. the Sharks with a lower-body injury and will miss the re-match on Sunday. With Talbot sidelined, Kaapo Kahkonen gets the start today and Andrew Hammond will back him up.




Gibson allowed two goals on 33 shots in the Ducks loss in Vegas on Saturday. Gibson opened the season with back-to-back losses in Vegas but stopped 55 of the 61 shots that he faced (.902 SV%), so he’s off to a decent start to the season. Tonight he faces a Wild team that he was 1-1-0 with an .898 SV% in 2020.

Talbot gave up three goals on 33 shots in the Wild’s win in Los Angeles on Saturday. Talbot has had a steady start to the season, opening the year at 2-0 while stopping 61 of the 67 shots (.910 SV%) that he’s faced. On Monday he has a strong chance to move to 3-0 against an Anaheim team that is searching for offence early in the season.



With Robby Fabbri out because of COVID-19 protocol, Rasmussen will make his season debut on Monday afternoon. Rasmussen will centre Detroit's second line and comes in after picking up 18 points (5G / 13A) in 18 games with Graz EC during his COVID loan in the Austria's top league.




Gibson started 50-plus games for the third time in 2020 but set career-worts in GAA (3.00) and SV% (.904) behind a Ducks team that finished with the fifth-worst record in the NHL. Anaheim didn't too much to improve this offseason, so it could be a similar storyline in 2021 and he should especially be avoided tonight in Vegas. Gibson was 1-2-1 with a 4.48 GAA and .878 SV% in four games vs. the Golden Knights a season ago.
