Hedman (lower-body) will partake in morning skate and will be a game-time decision to return on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old Hedman is averaging 23:21 time-on-ice and has 25 points (4G / 21A) in 26 games this season. In Hedman's absence, Darren Raddysh has occupied his role on the top powerplay unit.

Moser is week-to-week with an undisclosed injury.

Moser only played 12:23 time-on-ice before exiting Friday's game with an undisclosed injury and subsequently missing the following game on Saturday. The 24-year-old Moser has been productive from the blueline for Tampa Bay this season, averaging 19:54 time-on-ice and recording 10 points (2G / 8A) and a 13 plus/minus rating in 27 games.

Barkov (illness) is not on the ice for warmups and will not play in Edmonton on Monday.

Barkov was a late scratch on Saturday due to an illness, and will miss a second straight game on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Panthers have been shutout in two straight games and can ill-afford to be without Barkov's production again. He has 29 points (9G / 20A) in 22 games this season.

Aleksander Barkov
Harley (illness) is not on the ice for warmups and will not play against the Capitals on Monday.

Harley played a season-high 27:46 in Saturday's 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues but is battling an illness that will keep him out of the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 23-year-old Harley is averaging 22:18 time-on-ice and has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 29 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in five of his last six games.

Thomas Harley
Ovechkin (lower-body) travelled and skated in a non-contact jersey on Monday but is still without a timeline to return.

Ovechkin has skated with the team the last week but has not shed the non-contact jersey yet. The 39-year-old Ovechkin was well on his way to surpassing Wayne Gretzky's all-time goal record (894) before his injury this season. He is 27 goals away, a feat that continues to be jeopardized with each game he misses.

Barkov (illness) will be a game-time decision on Monday in Edmonton.

Barkov was a late scratch on Saturday due to an illness, and could miss a second straight game on Monday against the Edmonton Oilers. The Panthers have been shutout in two straight games and can ill-afford to be without Barkov's production again. He has 29 points (9G / 20A) in 22 games this season.

Vladar (lower-body) returned to Calgary's practice on Monday.

Vladar has not played or practiced since allowing eight goals on 26 shots (.692 SV%) in an 8-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning last week. The Flames' crease has been exclusively occupied by Dustin Wolf the last week but Vladar appears to be nearing a return.

Dan Vladar
Allen (upper-body) will travel with New Jersey on their upcoming road trip.

Allen has not played since allowing three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in a 4-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche last Sunday but appears to be nearing a return to the lineup. The Devils' net has been exclusively occupied by Jacob Markstrom since Allen's injury.

Jake Allen
Talbot (lower-body) is hopeful to return to Detroit's lineup on Friday.

Talbot returned from a four-game absence on Thursday and saved 32 of 34 shots (.941 SV%) in a 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, but tweaked something at practice the following day and has been out of the lineup since. Alex Lyon (lower body) is also nearing a return to the lineup but Ville Husso has been the Red Wings starting netminder in the interim.

Cam Talbot
Lyon (lower-body) is expected to be ready to rejoin Detroit on Wednesday.

With Lyon and Cam Talbot (lower body) expected to return at different times this week, Ville Husso will likely be reassigned to Grand Rapids (AHL) after filling in as the Red Wings starting goalie the last few weeks. The 31-year-old Lyon has been solid between the pipes for the Red Wings this season, posting a 2.74 GAA and .911 SV% in nine appearances (4-4-0).

Alex Lyon
Pettersson (lower-body) is out week-to-week.

Pettersson suffered a lower-body injury on Saturday, exiting the Penguins' 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators in the first period after only 6:11 time-on-ice. The 28-year-old Pettersson has been a steadying force on the blueline for a Penguins club that struggles defensively. He is averaging 21:47 time-on-ice, recording 13 points (2G / 11A), 56 blocks, and 36 hits in 32 games.

Marcus Pettersson
Lundkvist (illness) will be a game-time decision vs. Washington on Monday.

Lundkvist did not play on Saturday, a healthy scratch, and could miss a second straight game, this time due to an illness, on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 24-year-old Lundkvist is averaging 14:43 time-on-ice and has two points (0G / 2A) in 22 games this season.

Nils Lundkvist
Harley (illness) will be a game-time decision vs. Washington on Monday.

Harley played a season-high 27:46 in Saturday's 2-1 win over the St. Louis Blues but is battling an illness that could keep him out of the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 23-year-old Harley is averaging 22:18 time-on-ice and has 14 points (4G / 10A) in 29 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in five of his last six games.
