Grzelcyk is one of 16 regulars who will not be in the Bruins lineup on Tuesday. The Bruins will need to recall multiple players from their taxi squad/AHL to fill out their lineup. Jakub Zboril, who was a healthy scratch last night, should draw in to replace Grzelcyk.


Jarry will miss the Penguins' season finale on Saturday due to an upper-body injury. With both Jarry and Casey DeSmith sidelined, Maxime Lagace will make his Penguins debut vs. the Sabres.



Graves missed Saturday's game vs. the Sharks but will return tonight in San Jose. Graves will most likely replace Kyle Burroughs in the lineup.

Malkin has missed the last 23 games with a lower-body injury but will play Monday vs. the Flyers. Malkin will be back on the second line with Jason Zucker and Kasperi Kapanen and will replace Jared McCann on PP1. Malkin has scored eight goals with 16 assists in 29 games this year.




Malkin has been out since March 16th but will be a game-time decision on Saturday. Malkin has been skating recently but its unclear where he will slot in in his return to the lineup. Malkin, who was red-hot before he got hurt, comes into Saturday with 24 points (8G / 16A) in 29 games.


Bemstrom has been out since March 14th but will return to the lineup Saturday in Carolina. Bemstrom will replace Patrik Laine, who is out with a non-COVID-19 related illness. Bemstrom has just two assists in 15 games this season.

With the season wrapping up in less than two weeks, Johnsson's season is most likely over. After posting 64 points (28G / 36A) in 116 games over the last two seasons with Toronto, Johnsson struggled in New Jersey. The 26-year-old had just four goals and six assists (10 points) in 48 games and could be a candidate to be left unprotected and claimed by Seattle next year.


The Avalanche did not provide an update on Graves' condition postgame, so it's unclear whether or not he will be available for Saturday's rematch. If not, look for Jacob MacDonald to draw back into the lineup and for Patrik Nemeth to move up and skate with Cale Makar.


Lizotte missed Thursday's practice and is not expected to be available for Friday's game in Anaheim. With Lizotte not expected to play, look for Jaret Anderson-Dolan to draw back in.
