Robert Bortuzzo will re-enter the lineup against the Colorado Avalanche as Aho will not play on Tuesday. Aho has one point (1G / 0A), four hits, and 11 shots in his last nine games.
Matt Martin will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Engvall to return to the lineup after not playing in the last contest for the Islanders.

Kevin Shattenkirk will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Grzelcyk to make his return to the lineup for only the second time in the last six games for the Bruins. On Saturday, Grzelcyk recorded an assist and fired five shots on goal in 18:20 time-on-ice.
Van Riemsdyk has played 20 consecutive games for the Capitals, but he will be a healthy scratch as the team attempts to correct their defensive woes after being outscored 13-4 in their last three games (0-3-0).
