Mikheyev was a full participant in Monday's practice but head coach Sheldon Keefe was not ready to commit to him playing on Tuesday. Even if he misses Tuesday's game, Mikheyev is on track to make his season debut this week.

Bertuzzi missed the last five games while in COVID-19 protocol but was back on the ice for Monday's practice and will play Tuesday against the Islanders. Bertuzzi says he will remain unvaccinated. He has had a really strong year thus far, scoring nine goals with nine assists (18 points) in 20 games.

Murphy has missed the last three games with a concussion but will be back in the lineup in Montreal. Murphy should be back on the second pair with Jake McCabe, who also returns to the lineup.

Anderson had no points in two games with the Maple Leafs and returns to the AHL, where he has five goals and two assists in 13 games this season.

Robinson has scored two goals with two assists in 15 AHL games this season. The 6-foot-6, 232 lbs. forward will replace Adam Henrique in the lineup on Monday and is likely in the lineup to keep Tom Wilson in check. Robinson has three points (2G / 1A) and 13 PIMS in 21 career NHL games with the Senators and Flames.

Murphy left Thursday's game after being hit by Alex Ovechkin and did not return. Murphy suffered a concussion on the play and is in concussion protocol, which likely rules him out of the Blackhawks' back-to-back over the weekend.

With Ondrej Kase still out, Anderson will draw into the lineup on Wednesday. Anderson had seven points (5G / 2A) in 13 games with the Marlies (AHL) this season and has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 53 career NHL games.

Martinez will miss his second straight game on Tuesday but his status beyond then has not been determined. Monitor his status leading up to Thursday's game vs. the Red Wings.
