Borowiecki has been out since November 21st but will be back in the Senators lineup after a 12-game absence. Borowiecki is expected to dress as a seventh defenseman with Ryan Dzingel (arm) listed as a game-time decision.
Saros allowed four goals on 24 shots in the Predators 5-2 loss in Calgary last Saturday. Saros has not won a game since November 10th, allowing 15 goals on 81 shots (.815 SV%) over his last four appearances. Despite some recent struggles, Saros is a great option against a Devils team on the tail-end of a back-to-back. New Jersey has been terrible on the road and Saros is already 1-0-0 against them this season.

Saros allowed one goal on five shots after replacing Pekka Rinne in the Predators loss in Vancouver last night. Saros has stared a lot less than originally projected as the Predators continue to lean heavily on Rinne.

Bunting, 23, was a fourth-round pick (No.117 overall) in 2014 and could make his NHL debut on Saturday. Buntin has picked up six goals and 12 assists (18 points) in 20 games with the Roadrunners this season.
The Predators depth continues to be tested as Forsberg joins fellow top-6 forwards Kyle Turris and Viktor Arvidsson on IR. There is no word on what happened to Forsberg and how long they expect their star winger to be out.
Borowiecki will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury, which means Ben Harpur will remain in the lineup. Borowiecki is day-to-day and is questionable to Tuesday’s game in Philadelphia as well.
Skjei was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Brendan Smith tonight vs. the Islanders. Skjei has one goal and six assists while averaging 21:51 TOI/gm through 19 games this season.
Skjei has been held pointless in four straight games and will be replaced by Brenden Smith on Saturday.
Saros gets the nod for the Preds on Tuesday after Rinne lead them to a 2-1 victory over the Ducks last night. Saros has performed well in limited action, posting a 7-2-0 record on the season. He draws a difficult matchup tonight on the road against the Sharks.
The Bruins had two days off in between games, so sending Lauzon down was likely a paper move. Lauzon scored his first carer goal vs. Vegas on Sunday and should be in the lineup again on Wednesday.
Borowiecki missed Tuesday’s game with an upper-body injury, but will draw back in vs. the Golden Knights. Borowiecki has no points, a minus-4 rating and 28 PIMS in 10 games this season.
Lauzon failed to record a point in four games with the Bruins and his return to the AHL suggests that one of the Bruins’ injured defenseman will be back on Thursday. The 21-year-old, former second-round pick has four points (1G / 3A) in six games with Providence.
Gravel has appeared in just two games with the Oilers and will play in his first game since October 25th. Gravel has averaged just 10:35 TOI/GM this season.
Borowiecki has been in and out of the Senators lineup recently because of suspensions, but tonight he will sit due to an upper-body injury.
