Schwartz will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury, so Mike Hoffman will continue to skate with Brayden Schenn and Jordan Kyrou. Schwartz is listed as day-to-day.

Hayden has not been in the Coyotes lineup since last Monday but will return from a two-game absence on the COVID-19 reserve list. Look for Hayden to replace Hudson Fasching.


Montour has been activated from the COVID-19 reserve list and was on the ice for the Sabres' morning skate but remains questionable to play Monday vs. the Islanders.




Murray left Thursday's game in Winnipeg with an upper-body injury and will miss the rematch on Saturday. The Senators did not give a timetable on how long they expect Matt Murray to be out, but Marcus Hogberg will start Saturday with Filip Gustavsson coming up to be his backup.



McCann was hurt in a practice session earlier in the week and will miss at least a week with a lower-body issue. With McCann out week-to-week, it creates a hole on the Penguins' third-line, which could be filled by Zach Aston-Reese (shoulder) on Thursday.

Murray allowed two goals on 32 shots in Ottawa's 2-1 loss to the Canadiens on Saturday. Murray had a disastrous start to his Senators career but has settled in nicely in his last two starts, stopping 66 of the 70 shots (.943 SV%) that he's faced in those games. Tonight he'll look to continue his hot stretch of play vs. an Oilers team that scored three goals on nine shots against him last Sunday.



A couple of days after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list, Kakko was on the ice for practice on Wednesday and is expected to play on Thursday. This suggests that Kakko had a false positive test, which is great news for the Rangers, who are already without Filip Chytil and Colin Blackwell. Kakko skated on a line with Artemi Panarin and Ryan Strome in Wednesday's practice.


Hayden has been a healthy scratch for the last four games but will replace Christian Fischer (undisclosed) in the lineup on Tuesday. Hayden did not register a point in 9:43 TOI in his season debut.
