Samuelsson was selected No.32 overall in 2018 and the 20-year-old defenseman tallied 14 points (2G / 12A) in 30 games at Western Michigan University in 2020. Samuelsson also represented the USA at the World Juniors for the second straight year but has failed to record a point in those 12 international games.

Tuch was nearing a return to the Golden Knights lineup before suffering a setback at the start of the week. Not travelling suggests that Tuch will miss at least two more games but could be back for next Tuesday's home game vs. the Stars.

Bishop allowed one goal on 23 shots in the Stars loss to the Predators on Saturday. He played well but the Predators couldn't solve Juuse Saros at the other end of the ice. Bishop is on a three-game losing streak, allowing a combined nine goals on 64 shots (.859 SV%). Tonight he faces a Rangers team that has lost four of their last five while averaging 3.20 goals for and 4.80 goals against per game.

Clifton has been out since December 29th but he will play Tuesday in Philadelphia with Torey Krug and Brandon Carlo both out with upper-body injuries. Clifton skated with Matt Grzelcyk in Monday's practice and comes into Tuesday's game with just two goals in 30 games.

Tuch was nearing a return to the Golden Knights lineup but will miss additional games after suffering a setback. With Tuch still sidelined, Nicolas Roy will stay in a prominent role.

Bishop allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Stars loss in Boston on February 27th. Anton Khudobin has started the last three games, partly due to a Bishop lower-body injury, but he's back in the crease this afternoon vs. the Predators. He's 13-9-2 with a 2.19 GAA and .930 SV% on home ice this season and stopped 31 of 33 shots in a win in his first start vs. Nashville.

Pilut missed Friday's practice with an illness so his status for Saturday's game is in doubt. Colin Miller will draw back into the lineup if Pilut can't play.

Gilbert comes up after Lucas Carlsson took a puck to the head on Thursday night. Gilbert has split his 2020 campaign between the AHL and NHL, collecting three points (1G / 2A) in his 20 games with the Blackhawks.

Bishop did not dress on Tuesday due to a minor lower-body injury but is expected to at least back up on Thursday. Jake Oettinger was sent back to the AHL on Wednesday, clearing the way for Bishop to suit up in Nashville. It’s unclear whether he or Anton Khudobin will get the nod.

Pilut will replace Colin Miller in the lineup and will suit up for his first NHL game since February 9th. Pilut has no points while playing 16:04 ATOI in 11 NHL games this season.

Stars head coach Rick Bowness said that Bishop has a "lower-body situation" and is getting the night off. Jake Oettinger was recalled from Texas (AHL) and is expected to backup Anton Khudobin vs. the Oilers.

Pilut has not recorded a point in 11 NHL games this season but has 23 points (6G / 17A) in 37 games with Rochester. The 24-year-old could remain with the Sabres through the remainder of the season and could be an important part of their playoff push.

Bishop was pulled after allowing four goals on 13 shots in the Stars loss to the Blues last Friday. Anton Khudobin started the last two games but Bishop will start tonight in Boston. He is 8-4-2 with a 2.87 GAA, .910 SV% and one shutout on the road this year while the Bruins are 7-1-0 while scoring 3.75 goals per game in their last eight games.

Both Lafferty and Anthony Angello were returned to the AHL on Monday after the Penguins added a trio of forwards at the deadline. Lafferty has spent most of the season in Pittsburgh, scoring six goals with seven assists (13 points) in 46 games.
