Palmieri has missed the last 10 games with a lower-body injury but appears set to play Thursday vs. the Kings. Palmieri would likely replace Kieffer Bellows and skate on a line with Brock Nelson and Anthony Beauvillier.

Boqvist missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is set to play Wednesday vs. the Flames. Boqvist, who will replace Gavin Bayreuther in the lineup, has 14 points (7G / 7A) and a minus-10 rating in 26 games this season.






With Horvat coming out of the lineup, Elias Pettersson will move back to centre and Vasily Podkolzin will move back into the top-6.



Perunovich will come out of the lineup on Monday due to an undisclosed injury. Replacing him will be Colton Parayko, who is set to return from the COVID-19 protocol list.


Engvall missed the last three games while in the COVID-19 protocol list but is set to play Saturday in St. Louis. Engvall will replace Nick Ritchie (COVID-19 protocol) in the bottom-6.




Gauthier will miss Saturday's game in Anaheim and Monday's game in Los Angeles after entering COVID-19 protocol on Friday. Morgan Barron will likely draw into the Rangers lineup to replace him.

With both Mitch Marner and Engvall landing on the COVID-19 protocol list, Brett Seney and Kyle Clifford are expected to re-enter the lineup on Saturday. Jason Spezza moved up to the third line to replace Engvall in Friday's practice session.

Perunovich, who was absolutely torching the AHL when he was called up hasn't had the same level of success at the NHL level. He has just one assist in his last nine games and has yet to score in 18 games. He'll be replaced by Robert Bortuzzo on Friday and will likely miss two games.
