Beauvillier has been out since January 24th but will play Tuesday in Buffalo. Beauvillier will most likely replace Leo Komarov in the lineup and Michael Dal Colle on Brock Nelson's wing in his return. Beauvillier picked up one assist and four shots on goal in five games before getting injured.
Barry Trotz was speaking in riddles this morning, telling reporters that "we're all healthy" and that Beauvillier is "close to able to play" but would not specifically say if he's in on Monday. Consider Beauvillier a game-time decision and monitor his status when they hit the ice for warmups.
Dubois travelled with the team to Edmonton but head coach Paul Maurice does not expect him to play Monday vs. the Oilers. With Dubois out, Paul Stastny will continue to centre the Jets' second line.
Dubois was banged up in Friday's practice and will not play Saturday vs. the Senators. With Dubois out, Kristian Vesalainen will draw in and the Jets will stick with 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
Beauvillier was originally listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's game but was ruled out after the morning skate. That means either Leo Komarov will remain in the lineup or he'll be sent down after clearing waivers and someone like Kieffer Bellows will be recalled.
Dubois left Friday's practice early but head coach Paul Maurice thinks he's "probable" for Saturday's rematch vs. the Senators. Dubois' Jets career is off to a slow start but he has a terrific matchup to get his first point on Saturday.
Beauvillier was on the ice for Friday's practice and Leo Komarov was placed on waivers, seemingly paving the way for Beauvillier to be activated from IR and play Saturday. The Islanders have gone 2-2-3 in the seven games without Beauvillier.
Sandin played Monday vs. Vancouver, where he had one assist in 5:00 TOI. Nic Petan will draw into the lineup as the Maple Leafs go to a 12 forwards, six defensemen look.
17 days after being acquired from the Blue Jackets, Dubois will make his Jets debut on Tuesday. Dubois will start on a line with Kyle Connor and Trevor Lewis and is expected to see PP2 time. Dubois had one goal on seven shots in five games with Columbus before the trade.
With Wayne Simmonds out six weeks with a broken wrist, Sandin will dress as a seventh defenseman on Monday. Sandin had one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 28 NHL games a season ago.
Bear will miss his third straight game with a head injury that he suffered a week ago. With Bear out, William Lagesson will remain on the Oilers' blueline.
Eller has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury but practiced on Saturday and could be back in the lineup on Saturday. Eller would slot in on the second line and has one goal and one assist in seven games on the year.
Beauvillier has not played since January 24th but was spotted back on the ice early this week, however, he will remain sidelined for Saturday's game vs. the Penguins. The Islanders have gone 0-2-2 without Beauviller.
Bear was hit in the head by a puck while sitting on the bench last night and is doubtful to play Sunday vs. the Senators. With Bear likely out, either William Lagesson or Kris Russell will likely play.
Ovechkin has missed the last four games after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list a few weeks ago. Ovechkin was activated from the list and was on the ice for the Capitals morning skate, suggesting that he could return to the lineup tonight vs. the Bruins.
Wilson will be a game-time decision for the second straight game but participated in the morning skate, which is a good sign for his availability tonight. Wilson will skate with Nicklas Backstrom and Jakub Vrana if he plays.
