Carolina Hurricanes
Forwards Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook were both absent from yesterday’s game due to undisclosed injuries.
Colorado Avalanche
Defenseman Cale Makar and forward Nic Roy did not participate in weekend games and are scheduled for re-evaluation prior to Tuesday’s matchup.
Forward Valeri Nichushkin, who missed a recent game with an upper-body injury, is listed as day-to-day. Coach Jared Bednar stated that Nichushkin “is probably a possibility even for Tuesday,” but stressed caution given it’s “that time of year” for bumps and bruises. Bednar emphasized not playing injured players if it could worsen their condition, which was the reason for holding Nichushkin out.
Florida Panthers
Defenseman Dmitry Kulikov has returned to action after missing two games due to a broken nose.
Minnesota Wild
Wild coach John Hynes confirmed that defenseman Zach Bogosian’s lower-body injury was re-examined yesterday. It remains uncertain if he will play in any further regular-season games, and he is currently listed as day-to-day.
New York Islanders
Defenseman Tony DeAngelo is not traveling with the team due to a lower-body injury.
Pittsburgh Penguins
Goaltender Stuart Skinner, who was expected to start yesterday, sustained an injury when a puck struck him near his left eye on Saturday. Goaltender Sergei Murashov was unable to arrive in time to serve as backup for Arturs Silovs yesterday, but he is expected to stay with the team if Skinner requires more time off.
