Holl will get the chance to play on Thursday as the Red Wings are being forced into dressing seven defensemen due to Patrick Kane and Austin Czarnik missing out due to illness. Daniel Sprong will also re-enter the lineup.
Kane was a surprise scratch on Thursday, with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. Daniel Sprong will come into the lineup in his place.
The Kings are riding a four-game winning streak and will likely turn to Talbot to tend the twine for the third straight contest. Talbot has been excellent lately, winning four straight, allowing three or fewer goals in each and posting a stellar .929 SV%. The Kings enter action as +135 road underdogs against an Edmonton Oilers club that defeated them 4-2 last month.
van Riemsdyk was a healthy scratch for the Bruins' previous game but he will draw back into the lineup for Jakub Lauko on Wednesday vs. Tampa Bay. The 34-year-old has enjoyed a strong first season in 2023-24 with the Bruins, with his 11 goals, 38 points, 137 SOG, 18 PIMs and +10 plus/minus minus in 65 games played.
Lagesson will play his first game for the Ducks since March 15th. Urho Vaakanainen will sit in his place.
Gibson will be back between the pipes for the Ducks on Tuesday after Lukas Dostal made rare back-to-back starts on Thursday and Sunday. Gibson will be eager to snap a personal four-game losing streak, with his last victory coming in the form a 6-4 win over the Sharks way back on February 29th. The Ducks' long-term goaltender is the owner of a 13-24-2 record and an .891 SV% on the season. Things won't get any easier for Gibson on Tuesday as the Ducks find themselves as +170 underdogs in Seattle.
John Beecher will replace van Riemsdyk in the lineup on Tuesday. The 34-year-old van Riemsdyk has only played two of the last five games for the Bruins and has zero points in his last seven contests.
Finnie was a seventh-round pick of the Red Wings in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old has been productive with the Kamloops Blazers (WHL) this season, scoring 59 points (19G / 40A) in 62 games.
Talbot will start consecutive games for the first time in almost two weeks when the Kings travel to Vancouver to take on the Canucks on Monday. Talbot picked up the win his last time out, stopping 21 of the 24 shots he faced in a 4-3 overtime victory against the Lightning on Saturday. His record sits at 22-16-6 on the season to go along with a .917 SV% and a 2.43 GAA. He draws a difficult assignment on Monday with the Kings being +115 underdogs in Vancouver.
Berggren has been productive in limited action for the Red Wings this season, scoring six points (2G / 4A) in 12 games. In 43 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins (AHL), Berggren has 46 points (19G / 27A) in 43 games.
Gibson was not available in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lighting due to personal reasons but was back at practice on Monday. Gibson has struggled between the pipes lately, allowing four or more goals in four straight games (1-3-0), but should return to the crease this week.
Leonard played the last six games for the Coyotes, scoring one point (1G / 0A), but will return to the AHL, where he has 27 points (11G / 16A) in 54 games with the Tuscon Roadrunners. In a corresponding move, the Coyotes have recalled Josh Doan, who is expected to make his NHL debut on Tuesday.
Gustafsson did not practice on Monday, despite playing 19:44 time-on-ice in the Panthers' last contest, and is questionable for their next game on Tuesday. Gustafsson has two points (0G / 2A) in his last four games while averaging nearly 21 minutes of ice time.
