Rantanen’s status for tonight’s game was iffy on Monday and remains in question as he’s officially listed as a game-time decision. The Avalanche are already without Nathan MacKinnon, so losing two-thirds of their top-line would be a tough pill to swallow. Monitor Rantanen’s status when the Avalanche hit the ice for warmups at 8:30 p.m. ET.
Andersen left last night’s win over the Ducks following a collision with Corey Perry. However, Andersen was back on the ice for Tuesday’s practice, which is a good sign that he will be available for the Maple Leafs’ next game. Monitor his status during Wednesday’s morning skate with the Predators in town.
Lemieux, 21, has one goal in eight games with the Jets this season and he will likely be in their lineup on Tuesday with Brandon Tanev, Adam Lowry and Matt Hendricks all out. Lemieux has registered 28 points (12G / 16A) in 30 games in Manitoba this season.
Rantanen is “banged up” so his status for Tuesday’s game is up in the air. Keep an eye on Rantanen’s status during tomorrow’s morning skate, but Colin Wilson is expected to skate with Alexander Kerfoot and Gabriel Landeskog if Ratanen can’t play.
Andersen allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Maple Leafs loss in Boston on Saturday. Despite the loss, Andersen has played well as of late, winning three of his last five while stopping 126 of 137 shots (.920 SV%) with one shutout. Tonight he will face his former team for the second time this season—he stopped 28 of 29 shots in a 3-1 win in Anaheim in early-November.

Carrier played just 1:03 TOI before left the game in Washington and is questionable for Tuesday’s game in Pittsburgh. Head coach Gerard Gallant said postgame that he did think it’s anything serious and listed him as day-to-day.
Andersen allowed two goals on 36 shots in the Maple Leafs win in Chicago last Wednesday. Curtis McElhinney started the next night, so it has been one week since Andersen started.

Aho has missed the last four games with a lower-body issue and concussion, but practiced on Monday and skated with Jordan Staal and Elias Lindholm in today’s gameday skate. Aho brings 16 goals and 21 assists (37 points) in 45 games to the Hurricanes lineup vs. the Senators.
Hall missed the final three games before the All-Star break but was back on the ice for Monday’s practice and will play on Tuesday. Hall, who leads the Devils with 17 goals and 31 assists (48 points) in 43 games this season, will be back on the top line with Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt.
Aho was back at practice on Monday and may be cleared to play Tuesday after missing the last four games with a lower-body injury and concussion. Aho’s return will be huge for the Hurricanes as he comes in second on the team in points (37).
