Tinordi (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Tinordi missed the Bruins last game but was on the ice for Wednesday's practice and could return to the lineup on Thursday. Tinordi, who has been held pointless in eight games with the Bruins, will skat with Steven Kampfer if he plays.
Tinordi (upper-body) will not play on Wednesday.
Barrie (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play in Calgary.
Barrie (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Barrie is day-to-day with a lower-body injury and questionable to play Wednesday.
Barrie left Monday's game in Calgary and did not return. He tested it prior to the third period but didn't feel right and went back to the dressing room. Barrie also missed Tuesday's practice, making him questionable to play in Wednesday's rematch. Ethan Bear will move up and play with Darnell Nurse if Barrie can't play.
Goalie Start
Vladar will make his first career NHL start Tuesday in Pittsburgh.
Line Change
Tinordi will make his Bruins debut on Wednesday.
Tinordi played seven games with the Predators earlier this season before being placed on waivers. Tinordi, who has 11 points (1G / 10A) in 88 career NHL games, will be paired with Connor Clifton in his debut.
Waiver Move
The Bruins have claimed Jarred Tinordi off of waivers from the Predators.
Tinordi appeared in seven games with the Predators this season before being placed on waivers on Friday. The Bruins don't have the best blueline depth and have a few waiver-exempt defensemen so adding Tinordi boosts that depth and gives them more options and flexibility.
Backlund (lower-body) is on the ice for warmups; expected to play vs. the Canucks.
Backlund (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Backlund missed Monday's game in Vancouver with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Wednesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision. Backlund skated with Milan Lucic and Dillon Dube this morning, so he is a less appealing DFS option without Andrew Mangiapane on his wing.
Backlund (lower-body) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play in Vancouver.
Backlund (lower-body) is questionable to play on Monday.
Backlund suffered a lower-body injury early in Saturday's loss to the Canucks and is questionable to play on Monday. Head coach Geoff Ward called him "day-to-day" on Sunday, so monitor his status during the morning skate.
Line Change
Mantha is expected to draw back into the Red Wings lineup on Tuesday.
Line Change
Lomberg will get back into the Panthers lineup on Tuesday.
Lomberg has not played since the Panthers' season opener but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear who Lomberg will replace but this is likely a response to Givani Smith's fight with Aaron Ekblad on Sunday.
Line Change
Tinordi will be back in the Predators lineup on Monday.
Frk is not on the ice for warmups; will not play Sunday in Vegas.
Frk (groin) will make his season debut on Friday.
Frk missed the first nine games of the season but will most likely replace Arthur Kaliyev on Friday. Frk had eight points (6G / 2A) in 17 games with the Kings last season.
Line Change
Hunt will draw into the Coyotes lineup on Tuesday.
Hunt, who will be making his season debut, will replace Lawson Crouse, who is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Hunt has 15 points (3G / 12A) in 63 career NHL games.
