Francouz missed all of October and November with an ankle injury, so he will go to the AHL for conditioning. The Avalanche said that they will carry three goalies once Francouz is healthy. The oft-injured netminder has gone 21-9-4 with a 2.40 GAA and .923 SVS% in 36 career NHL games.



MacKinnon has missed the last eight games with a lower-body injury but was a full participant in Monday's practice and it appears as if he will be ready for Wednesday's game in Toronto. MacKinnon was unsurprisingly back on the top line and top power-play unit on Monday.





The Islanders are already in the middle of a COVID-19 outbreak and now they will be without their leading scorer for at least two weeks. Anatoly Golyshev has been recalled to help reaplce Nelson up front.





Barre-Boulet has been a healthy scratch most of the time since returning from Seattle (via waivers), so he'll go to the AHL to get some playing time.



Necas missed the last two games with an illness, that was not COVID-19 or the flu. Necas has scored three goals and three assists (six points) in 11 games this season and could play on the top line with Sebastian Aho on Tuesday.
