Eller is still in quarantine after leaving the bubble for the birth of his child, so Travis Boyd will remain in the lineup for Game 1. Capitals head coach Todd Reirden is hopeful that Eller will play in Game 2 on Friday.

Eller is still in quarantine after leaving the bubble for the birth of his child, so Travis Boyd will remain in the lineup for Game 1. Capitals head coach Todd Reirden is hopeful that Eller will play in Game 2 on Friday.
The Capitals are playing it safe with their star defenseman and have listed him as a game-time decision for Thursday. If he doesn't play, Dmitry Orlov will continue to quarterback the Capitals' top power-play unit.
Eller went back to Washington on Wednesday to be with his wife for the birth of their second child. As a result, Eller won't be able to play on Thursday and will need to quarantine upon his return to the bubble, making him questionable for Sunday's game as well. Travis Boyd will replace him in the lineup.
Carlson was nicked up in the Capitals' exhibition game but practiced returned to practice on Saturday. Given the fact that the Capitals are already locked into a playoff spot, they may play it safe with their star defenseman. Head coach Todd Reirden said that Carlson's status for Monday is still TBD, so consider him a game-time decision and check on his status during warmups.
Chychrun will miss his seventh consecutive game on Monday but it seems likely that he could be available for Thursday's crucial matchup with the Canucks. With Chychrun out, Oliver Ekman-Larsson is playing 24:31 ATOI and Jordan Oesterle has seen a massive uptick to 19:41 ATOI.
Lindgren allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Canadiens win over the Hurricanes on February 29th. Lindgren is 2-3-0 with a 3.37 GAA and .884 sV% in his first five NHL starts this season and will get another start tonight in Florida. Tonight he faces a Panthers team on a four-game losing streak and 1-4-2 while scoring just 2.14 goals per game in their last seven games.
With all the injuries to the Maple Leafs’ blueline, Sandin has become a regular in the lineup but will be replaced by Timothy Liljegren on Tuesday. Sandin has picked up just one assist and seven shots while playing just 14:00 ATOI in his last 14 games.
Chychrun missed the last two games with a hip injury that he suffered in Dallas last Wednesday. GM John Chayka met with the media on Monday and listed the young defenseman as week-to-week, which leaves a huge hole on their blueline as they try to lock-up a playoff spot in the Western Conference. So long as Chychrun is out, look for Aaron Ness to remain with the Coyotes.
The Blue Jackets made Milano the 16th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward struggled to maintain a spot in the lineup under head coach John Tortorella.
