With A.J. Greer entering the lineup Jakub Lauko will be the odd man out on the Bruins' offensive unit Tuesday. Through the first four games of 2022-23, Lauko has one assist and is a +1 rating.
Fleury is coming off his strongest showing of the year Saturday where he lost a 4-3 battle against Boston allowing four goals on 43 shots (.907 SV%) for his second losing effort of the season. It has been a nightmarish start to 2022-23 for both the WIld and Fluery as he has consistently fought the puck while posting an ugly .847 SV% and second league-worst 5.24 GAA through four starts. His 1-3-1 Wild will head on the road to Montreal to take on a Canadiens team that lost to Dallas 5-2 Saturday and has struggled to score this season ranking a lowly 26th in league GF/GP (.267).
Lauko will be a healthy scratch for the second time in three games, with Jack Studnicka drawing into the Bruins lineup to replace him.
Fleury takes the crease after being pulled in his previous start after allowing four goals on 14 shots in a 7-6 Wild loss to the LA Kings. He has had a disastrous start to 2022-23, dawning an 8.35 GAA to go along with his .776 SV% for the winless Wild. They will host the Vancouver Canucks, who have blown a record four straight double-digit leads on the way to their 0-3-1 record.
Bogosian, still hasn't been cleared for contact but could be back in the lineup by late October. Bogosian's return will not be imminent until he ditches the non-contact jersey.
Zuccarello left the morning skate early and is a question mark for Monday's game, according to head coach Dean Evason. Marco Rossi was scheduled to be a healthy scratch but he would suit up if Zuccarello can't play vs. the Avalanche.
Gustavsson draws the tough matchup of the defending Stanley Cup Champions at home Monday. Minnesota turns to their backup netminder as they continue to look for their first win of the 2022-23 season. Gustavsson will draw his first start of the season after allowing three goals on 20 shots in a relief appearance Saturday in the Wild's 7-6 loss to LA.
Fleury will likely draw the start Monday as Minnesota hosts the defending Stanley Cup Champions at home. It has been a nightmarish start to 2022-23 for Fleury. After allowing seven goals on 35 shots last Thursday, he followed it up by getting pulled on four goals on 14 shots Saturday. The timing could not be worse for the 37-year-old to draw one of the tougher matchups in the NHL as he looks to return to midseason form.
Fleury will look to bounce back after a horrendous opening effort against the New York Rangers on Thursday where he allowed seven goals on 35 shots (.800 SV%). The 37-year-old will draw what should be a much easier matchup as he takes on the Kings at home Saturday.
Shore played 7:04 TOI in the Oilers' season opener, but Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele were back on the ice for practice on Friday, suggesting they'll be back in the lineup on Saturday. So, Shore heads back to the AHL with Philip Broberg taking his spot on the NHL roster.
Fleury will draw the 1-0-0 New York Rangers at home Thursday as the Wild kick off their season. The 37-year-old is entering his 19th NHL season ranking third all-time in goaltender wins (520). After being acquired by the Wild at the trade deadline in 2021-22, Fleury won nine of 11 starts while posting a .910 SV%.
Shore may end up in the Oilers lineup on opening night with both Kailer Yamamoto and Warren Foegele questionable to play. Shore registered 11 points (5G /6A) in 49 games with the Oilers last season.
