Schultz (lower-body) is expected to be back in the Capitals lineup on Thursday.

Schultz has missed the last three games but will be back in the lineup on Thursday. Schultz skated on the top pairing in the morning skate because John Carlson is a game-time decision with a lower-body injury of his own.

Stephens (lower-body) will return to the Lightning lineup on Tuesday.

Stephens, who had one assist in four games with the Lightning earlier in the season, tore it up with Syracuse (AHL) during his conditioning stint--scoring one goal with seven assists (eight points) in four games. He will skate on the fourth line with Ross Colton and Pat Maroon.

The Panthers have acquired Brandon Montour from the Sabres for a 2021 third-round pick.

Montour is in the final year of his contract that carries a $3.85M AAV cap-hit. Montour will help fill a void on the left-side that was created when they lost Aaron Ekblad for the season. The 27-year-old has scored five goals with nine assists, 72 shots, 53 blocks and 35 hits in 38 games with the Sabres this season.
