Heinen was one of four Ducks' players that was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, putting Wednesday's game in jeopardy. With Heinen likely unavailable vs. the Wild, look for Max Comtois to draw back into the lineup.


Fabbro was suspended for two games for elbowing Brock McGinn o the Hurricanes but is set to return to the lineup on Monday. Fabbro, who has two goals and seven assists (nine points) in 26 games this season, will most likely skate in the top-4 with Ben Harpur.



This is another huge blow to the Predators' blueline, who will now be without three of their top-4 defensemen on Thursday. Fabbro will miss Thursday and Saturday's games before being eligible to return Monday in Tampa Bay.


Merzlikins has been out since February 20th with an upper-body injury but was activated from IR on Monday, so he'll at least be available to backup on Tuesday.




Werenski has not played since February 13th but will replace Scott Harrington in the lineup on Thursday. Werenski had a slow start to the season but had four assists in his last six games before getting injured.

Monahan has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but was back on a line with Johnny Gaudreau at the Flames morning skate, suggesting he could play in Toronto. Monahan has had a nice bounce-back season, scoring two goals with 10 assists (12 points) in 16 games.
