Faulk is dealing with a lingering upper-body injury and will come out of the lineup for the fourth time in six games. Roland McKeown will draw into the lineup for Faulk.
Suter was injured late in the second period after his leg slammed into the boards following a hit from Remi Elie. Suter, who had to be helped off of the ice, is going to be sidelined for an extended period of time and this is devastating to the Wild’s playoff hopes.
Krug has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but is expected to play tonight in Minnesota. Krug has four assists in his last two games and 39 total on the season to go with 13 goals (52 points) in 62 games.
Gunnarsson suffered an ACL tear in his left knee during the first period of the Blues' 4-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday. He will undergo surgery once the swelling in his knee subsides and will be re-evaluated in six months.
It is unclear what happened to Krug that forced him from Tuesday’s win in Carolina. Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy did not have any sort of update on Krug postgame, so he will likely be reevaluated on Wednesday and an update will follow. Krug was reportedly seen walking around without any obvious signs that he is dealing with a lower-body injury.
Faksa will miss his second straight game with a foot injury. Faksa was listed as day-to-day so he should be considered as questionable heading into Friday’s game vs. the Ducks.
Faksa played 13:48 TOI on Saturday and will not play Monday because of a foot injury. Gemel Smith will replace him in the Stars lineup and consider him day-to-day until the Stars update his timetable.

Buchnevich will miss his third straight game with a concussion but he skated this morning and is progressing according to Alain Vigneault. Buchnevich does not have a timetable for his return, so monitor his status as the week progresses.
