Byfield will come out of the Kings lineup for their game in Colorado on Friday. With Byfield unavailable, Arthur Kaliyev will draw back into the Kings lineup and Alex Laferriere will move up to the top line with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe.

Perry hasn't played a game since his contract was terminated by the Chicago Blackhawks in late November. Before having his contract terminated, Perry was amid a somewhat resurgent start to the season, scoring nine points (4G / 5A) in 16 games. It is unlikely that Perry will continue his 0.56 point-per-game pace with the Oilers, as he is expected to skate on the third line with Dylan Holloway and Ryan McLeod.

Kuemper served as the backup for the last two Capitals' games but will return to the crease on Tuesday against his former club, the Minnesota Wild. Kuemper is 4-5-1 in his career against Minnesota, with a 2.78 GAA and .908 SV%, well below his career average. Taking that into consideration, along with the Capitals being shut out 3-0 to the St. Louis Blues in their last game, the Capitals are +147 road underdogs on Tuesday against the Wild, who are riding a two-game winning streak.

Bolduc played the last two games for the Islanders but will return to being a healthy scratch on Tuesday as Mike Reilly will make his return to the lineup. Bolduc has zero points, four shots, and three hits in his last five games.

Clarke will fill in for Matt Roy, who will get Monday's game off after his wife gave birth to their first child earlier in the day. Clarke is yet to register a point in three games with the Kings this season.

After allowing three or more goals in six straight games (2-4-0), Kuemper served as the backup to Charlie Lindgren on a back-to-back set over the weekend but will return to the crease on Tuesday in a favourable matchup against the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks pulled off an improbable 5-4 overtime victory over the Florida Panthers last night, but, playing on back-to-back nights, the Capitals are sizeable -171 home favourites.
