It is unclear what is ailing Hague but he will not be available on Thursday. Dylan Coghlan skated on the top line in the morning skate and will likely take Hague's spot there in the game.





Mutter is an undrafted free agent out of the OHL, where he has scored nine goals with eight assists (17 points) in 44 games between the Hamilton Bulldogs and Kitchener Rangers.





Marchessault was not on the ice for the morning skate and is not expected to play because of the flu. Evgenii Dadonov will move to the second line with Marchessault out and Michael Amadio will draw into the lineup.




Nick Cousins is week-to-week with a lower-body injury, so Smith comes up from the AHL and should play in the bottom-6 on Tuesday. Smith has spent most of the season in the AHL, posting 10 goals and 12 assists (22 points) in 33 games with Milwaukee.
