Dumoulin had multiple tendons in his ankle lacerated in Saturday's loss to St. Louis and is expected to miss at least two months after undergoing surgery on Sunday morning. Injuries have been a huge issue for the Penguins this season but they've managed to stay afloat and will likely take the Dumoulin injury in-stride as well. He logged big minutes on their blueline, so someone like Marcus Pettersson is likely going to be tasked with taking on a larger role moving forward.

The Senators are on the tail-end of a back-to-back so they will give their rookie centre the night off. J.C. Beaudin will replace Brown in the lineup on Saturday.

Antti Raanta was scheduled to start tonight's game but is sick, so Kuemper will take over between the pipes. He has surprisingly lost two straight while allowing three goals in each game, but has a bounce-back matchup on tap with the Ducks in town. He allowed two goals on 29 shots in a 2-1 loss in Anaheim in the season opener.

Edler was forced to leave Saturday's game in Washington but was on the ice for Monday's morning skate and is expected to play in Philadelphia. Edler leads the Canucks in ice-time (23:54 ATOI) while posting 15 points (4G / 11A) but has had a hard time staying out of the box (34 PIMS) in 24 games this season.

Edler was forced to leave Saturday's game in the first period after sustaining an upper-body injury. Edler's injury is not serious and he is expected to skate before Monday's game to see if he can play in Philadelphia. If he can't play, Oscar Fantenberg will likely replace him in the lineup and Tyler Myers would see PP2 time.

With Mike Green and Patrik Nemeth not expected to play on Thursday, Hicketts joins the Red Wings in Columbus. The 23-year-old has two assists in five NHL games this season and is second among Griffins' defensemen with nine points (all assists) in 11 AHL games.

The Maple Leafs started a six-game road trip on Saturday and Moore is not currently with the team. His move to IR means he will miss at least two more games and it opens up a spot for Pierre Engvall to be called up from the Marlies (AHL).

Moore suffered a shoulder injury against the Bruins last night and will miss at least Saturday's game against the Penguins. Dmytro Timashov will likely draw into the lineup for Moore.

Kuemper allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Coyotes win in St. Louis on Tuesday. Antti Raanta gave him another night off on Thursday but will turn to Kuemper on Saturday afternoon. He is 3-3-0 with a 1.86 GAA, .939 SV% and one shutout in six starts in Arizona, so don't hesitate to start him vs. a Flames team that is 22nd in goal-scoring (2.76 GF/gm).

Brown missed six games with an upper-body injury but will play Friday vs. the Flyers. Brown had two assists in four games before he got hurt and will get a huge opportunity on Friday. The hulking centre will skate on the top-line with Brady Tkachuk and Anthony Duclair, who have combined for nine goals and seven assists (16 points) in their last 10 games.

Kempe was a healthy scratch vs. the Wild on Tuesday but is expected to replace Carl Grundstrom vs. the Red Wings. After posting 37 and 28 points in the last two seasons, Kempe has struggled to a 19-point pace in 2019-20.

In addition to calling up Jonathan Ericsson on Wednesday, Hicketts will also join the Red Wings in California. Hicketts had one assist in four games with the Red Wings earlier in the season and leads all Griffins defensemen with nine points (0G / 9A) in 11 AHL games.

Kempe has appeared in all 17 games so far this season but has been held pointless in his last four games and played a season-low 9:21 TOI on Saturday. Nikolai Prokhorkin is expected to replace him in the lineup.

Kuemper had his worst outing of the season on Saturday, allowing four goals on 24 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Wild. Uncharacteristically, Kuemper has lost two straight while allowing a combined seven goals on 57 shots (.877 SV%). With Antti Raanta starting last night's shootout win in Washington, the Coyotes will come back to Kuemper in St. Louis. So far this season, Kuemper has gone 4-2-0 with a 2.14 GAA and .920 SV% on the road.

Kuemper allowed three goals on 33 shots in the Coyotes loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Kuemper, who comes into Saturday's game at 3-2-0 with a 1.42 GAA, .955 SV% and one shutout on home-ice. On the other side, the Wild have lost six of their last seven road games while averaging just 2.14 goals per game.

Kuemper allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Coyotes win in Edmonton on Monday. Antti Raanta gave him the night off on Tuesday but the Coyotes will come right back to the red-hot Kuemper on Thursday. In his last eight starts, Kuemper is 7-1-0 with a 1.73 GAA, .939 SV% and one shutout. You wouldn't dare bench him in any matchup but certainly not vs. a Blue Jackets team that is averaging the second-least goals per game (2.33).

Kuemper stopped all 33 shots that he faced in the Coyotes shutout win over the Avalanche on Saturday. Kuemper has won two in a row and six of his last seven (6-1-0) while posting a 1.70 GAA, .941 SV% and one shutout. Tonight he faces an Oilers team that is 5-0-1 while averaging 3.83 goals per game on home-ice—a drastic difference from their 2.33 GF/gm on the road.
