Line Change
Merkley will be back in the Sharks lineup on Tuesday.
Merkley was a healthy scratch vs. the Stars on Saturday but will replace Nicolas Meloche in the lineup on Tuesday. Merkley has picked up one goal and four assists (five points) in 28 games this season.
Nichushkin (illness) will be a game-time decision on Tuesday.
Nichushkin is dealing with a non-COVID illness and is questionable to play on Tuesday. He didn't travel with the team initially but is currently on his way to Pittsburgh and may play against the Penguins.
Wood (hip) is expected to be back in the Devils lineup on Tuesday.
Wood was held out of the lineup for the last two games as he works his way back from hip surgery. In his first two games of the season, Wood was pointless with a minus-1 rating, four PIMS and two shots on goal.
Line Change
Kelly was recalled from Belleville (AHLL) and will draw into the lineup on Tuesday.
Kelly, who will be playing in his first NHL game since March 16th, will replace Tyler Ennis in the lineup in Montreal. Kelly has scored five goals with one assist while averaging just 9:41 TOI/gm in 27 games with Ottawa this season.
Kylington (upper-body) did not travel to Los Angeles for Monday's game.
Kylington will sit out for a second straight game, meaning Michael Stone will remain in the lineup. With both Kylington and Brett Ritchie staying in Calgary, the Flames recalled Juuso Valimaki and Adam Ruzicka from the AHL.
Poolman (illness) will be back in the Canucks lineup on Sunday.

Kylington is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Kylington left Thursday's game vs. the Kings with an upper-body injury and will not play on Saturday. Connor Mackey was recalled from the AHL, likely to serve as the No.7 defenseman. Michael Stone should replace Kylington in the lineup.
Wood (hip) will not play Saturday afternoon vs. the Panthers.
Wood played two games in a row after missing six months following hip surgery, so he'll just get an extra day off. The Devils have a back-to-back on Saturday/Sunday, so there's a chance Wood could be back in tomorrow.
Goalie Start
Francouz will start Thursday vs. the Sharks.
MacKinnon (upper-body) is expected to be back in the Avalanche lineup on Thursday.
MacKinnon missed Tuesday's game in Calgary with an upper-body injury that he suffered in a fight with Matt Dumba on Sunday. The Avalanche said that concern was "high" on Tuesday but it appears MacKinnon's re-evaluation went well and he should play vs. the Sharks. MacKinnon has picked up 27 points (13G / 14A) in his last 20 games.
Lehkonen will make his Avalanche debut on Tuesday.
Lehkonen will replace Nathan MacKinnon (upper-body) in the lineup on Tuesday. Lehkonen will skate on the second line with Alex Newhook and Andre Burakovskiy and has 29 points (13G / 16A) in 58 games this season.
MacKinnon (upper-body) is returning to Denver to be re-evaluated.
MacKinnon's injury is believed to stem from his fight with Matt Dumba over the weekend. Head coach Jared Bednar said that concern is "high" in regards to MacKinnon's injury. Nazem Kadri will replace him on the first line and Artturi Lehkonen will make his Avalanche debut to take his place.
MacKinnon (upper-body) will not play Tuesday in Calgary.
MacKinnon will not be available for a heavyweight tilt in Calgary on Tuesday. It's unclear exactly how the Avalanche lines will shake out but Devon Toews was on PP1 in the morning skate.
Wood (hip) will make his season debut on Sunday.
Drouin is out indefinitely with an upper-body injury.
Drouin was out for precautionary reasons after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 but is now also dealing with an upper-body injury. Drouin was moved to IR on Friday and is expected to miss an extended period of time.
