Line Change
Jones will be a healthy scratch Wednesday vs. the Senators.
Heinen will draw into the Ducks lineup on Saturday.
The Penguins have activated Sidney Crosby from the COVID-19 reserve list.
It appears as if Crosby will be available for Thursday's game vs. the Flyers after being activated from the COVID-19 reserve list. If he does play, expect him to center the top line with Jake Guentzel.
Crosby has been added to the COVID-19 reserve list and will not play on Tuesday.
The Penguins were forced to cancel Tuesday's morning skate due to COVID-19 protocols. Crosby was the only player added to the list, so expect him to be the only one missing tonight vs. the Flyers.
Acciari (upper-body) will return to the Panthers lineup on Monday.
Acciari has been out since February 13th but will return to the lineup Monday vs. the Hurricanes. Acciari, who has no points in 12 games this season, will play on the fourth line.
Karlsson (lower-body) is expected to play Saturday vs. the Blues.
Bemstrom will draw into the Blue Jackets lineup on Thursday.
Bemstrom will play for the first time since January 21st, replacing Mikhail Grigorenko in the lineup vs. the Blackhawks. Bemstrom has no points in five games this season but has 20 points (10G / 10A) in 61 career games to this point.
Line Change
Kulak will be back in the Canadiens lineup on Tuesday.
Kulak has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Victor Mete in the lineup on Tuesday. Kulak has three assists, a plus-3 rating and 15 shots on goal in 13 games this season.
Karlsson (lower-body) will miss at least the next two games.
Karlsson, who has missed the last two games, did not travel with the team to St. Louis, so he'll miss at least two more games with a lower-body injury. Tomas Hertl may have slipped up on Wednesday, saying that Karlsson is dealing with a groin injury that could keep him out for a bit.
Dumba (lower-body) was activated from IR and is expected to play on Tuesday.
Dumba missed the Wild's last two games before they were shut down due to COVID-19 but will likely play Tuesday in Los Angeles. With a few defensemen still on the COVID-19 list, Dumba and Ryan Suter appear to be the only regulars on the blueline for Tuesday, so expect him to play a ton of minutes against the Kings.
Heinen will be back in the Ducks lineup on Monday.
Karlsson is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and will not play on Monday.
The Sharks' blueline depth will be tested on Monday with both Karlsson and Radim Simek out. Frederik Claesson will make his season debut replacing Karlsson.
Acciari will miss 7-to-10 days with an upper-body injury.
Acciari did not travel with the team as they start a four-game road trip tonight in Tampa Bay and is expected to miss the entire trip. With Acciari out, look for Juho Lammikko to draw back into the lineup.
Line Change
Kulak will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Kulak was in the lineup for five straight games but will make way for Victor Mete to get some playing time on Saturday.
Clifton will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Clifton replaced Matt Grzelcyk in the lineup on Friday but will come out to allow John Moore to make his season debut on Saturday. So far this season, Clifton has been held pointless in seven games.
Heinen will come out of the Ducks lineup on Thursday.
Malkin (eye) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play vs. the Islanders.
Malkin (eye) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Malkin left Wednesday's practice early with some discomfort in one of his eyes. Head coach Mike Sullivan called Malkin a game-time decision for Thursday's game but it seems likely that he placed.
