Andersen was forced to leave last night's game after the first period and did not return. Andersen was not on the ice for Tuesday's practice and will not travel to New York for Tuesday's game.

With Brendan Gallagher returning to the lineup, someone has to sit and much, to everyone's surprise, it looks like Kotkaniemi will get a night in the stands. Kotkaniemi remained on the ice with the injured players and other presumed scratches, so look for him to sit in Buffalo.
Stillman played in the final 13 games before the bye week, posting four assists while playing 20:26 ATOI. He went to the AHL over the break but has become an important part of the Panthers' blueline.
Ryan has been sidelined by a knee injury since December 27th but will play Wednesday vs. the Lightning. Ryan has three points (1G / 2A) in 27 games this season. So far he's played 18:48 ATOI but could be tasked with a larger role on Wednesday with both Drew Doughty and Derek Forbort likely out.
Ryan has been out since December 27th with a knee injury but is expected to be activated from IR and play vs. the Kings. Ryan will replace Derek Forbort and is expected to log big minutes on the Kings' top-pair.
