Lyubushkin was away from the Maple Leafs on Friday due to the birth of his child but is expected to be ready to play on Saturday for Game 4 vs. Boston.

Thatcher Demko will remain out of the lineup for at least one more game and as a result, the Canucks will turn to DeSmith between the pipes again in game three.

The Stars will turn to Oettinger in game two as they look to rebound from a series-opening loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Stars enter action on Wednesday as -161 home favourites.

With the surprising news that Thatcher Demko (undisclosed) will not be available for game two, and possibly beyond, the Canucks will turn to DeSmith in the crease.

DeSmith had a 2.89 GAA and .895 SV% in 29 games this season (12-9-6). The Canucks enter game two against the Nashville Predators as -131 home favourites.

The Stars enter action on Monday as -140 home favourites against the Vegas Golden Knights.

Dadonov has not played since February 10th due to a lower-body fracture and will return to the lineup in the Stars' final game of the season. Dadonov had three points (2G / 1A) in his last five games before his injury and has 23 points (12G / 11A) in 50 games this season. Tyler Seguin (rest) will be the odd man out of the lineup.

The Stars can clinch the Western Conference title with a single point on Wednesday and will turn to Oettinger between the pipes to try and do so.
