Knight and Jonas Johansson swap spots, likely so Johansson can get some game action in over the weekend. Without a back-to-back over the weekend, Knight is likely to serve as Sergei Bobrovsky's backup on Sunday.

Lundell will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury but the Panthers are hopeful that he will be able to travel to California for a seven-game road trip that starts on Sunday.

Berube had an incredible four-game run while he was with the Blue Jackets, going 3-1-0 with a .924 SV%. With Joonas Korpisalo available to serve as Elvis Merzlikins' backup on Monday, Berube heads back to the AHL, where he is 4-9-4 with a 3.37 GAA and .891 SV% in 17 games.

Boqvist was not on the ice for the Blue Jackets' morning skate and will not be available for Tuesday's game vs. New Jersey. Boqvist had been filling in for Zach Werenski (upper-body) on PP1. With both of them out, either Dean Kukan or Jake Christiansen will likely take over that role.
