Kane has missed the Blackhawks' previous two games and is doubtful to return to the lineup Thursday vs. Colorado as he deals with a lower-body injury. The 34-year-old has not produced like his usual self this season, with seven goals, 20 assists, 100 SOG and a -24 plus/minus.
Lyon was 9-8-2 with a 2.55 GAA and .909 SV% with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) and will dress for the Florida Panthers as their backup netminder Tuesday as a replacement for the injured Spencer Knight (undisclosed).
Talbot allowed five goals on 19 shots (.737 SV%) and was pulled after just two periods of action in his previous start, picking up his second straight loss in a defeat to Seattle. The 35-year-old has struggled in his first season in Ottawa, with a 10-10-1 record, 2.89 GAA and .906 SV%. He takes on the Nashville Predators, who are on a bit of a hot streak, winning three straight and four of their last five games.
Soderblom has five goals, three assists, 30 SOG and eight PIMs through 20 games but will be a healthy scratch Friday as Detroit takes on Florida. Adam Erne will be replacing him in the lineup.
Kane left Chicago's previous contest vs. Tampa Bay after just 13 shifts and 12:57 TOI due to an undisclosed injury and will sit out Friday as well. Kane has stated it is not a bad injury, just a lingering one, which is good news as the 34-year-old is leading the Blackhawks in both points (27) and assists (20) this season.
Campbell allowed two goals on 17 shots (.882 SV%) as he took the loss in a low-scoring affair vs. Winnipeg in his previous start. The 30-year-old's first season in Edmonton has been horrendous, with his 8-7-1 record, .877 SV% and 3.80 GAA. He will be hoping to better his numbers when he takes on the New York Islanders Thursday, who have won four of their last five games after a 6-2 win over Vancouver on Tuesday.
Tarasenko suffered a hand injury early in Saturday's game vs. the Wild and will be re-evaluated in one month. In addition to Tarasenko's injury, the Blues also lost Ryan O'Reilly for six weeks due to a broken foot. Jake Neighbours was recalled from the AHL to help replace Tarasenko on the wing.
Simek will head to the press box Thursday as a health scratch after putting up a goal, an assist, 28 SOG and 25 PIMs across 29 games played.
Talbot stopped 29 of 32 shots (.906 SV%) for his fourth straight win as he beat Detroit in his last start. The 35-year-old has been enjoying a solid first season in the Nations' Capital, with his 8-7-0 record, 2.55 GAA and .916 SV%. He will face the Winnipeg Jets, who have been very sound defensively this season, ranking fourth in the NHL in goals allowed per game (2.58).
