Haula missed game one, but will be back in the lineup for game two. He had 34 points (14G / 20A) in 76 games this season and has eight points (5G / 3A) in 15 career playoff games in 2014 and 15.

Haula has been listed as questionable for game one, but travelling to Dallas suggests that he will be in the lineup on Thursday. With that said, monitor his status during tomorrow’s morning skate.

Haula missed his second straight practice with an undisclosed injury, but head coach John Torchetti said that he “likes Haula’s chances” of playing in Game 1. Haula was on a tear in March, but has been held off of the scoresheet for the last four games. He finished the year with 14 goals and 20 assists (34 points) in 76 games.

The Predators are comfortably in the playoffs so they will rest a number of players in their season finale. Josi will come out of the lineup vs. Dallas.

Skjei, 22, has recorded four goals and 24 assists (28 points) in 68 games with Hartford. He has appeared in his first four career NHL games this year and his recall likely means bad news for Ryan McDonagh, who suffered a hand injury on Monday.

O’Reilly has been sidelined with a foot injury since February 19th, but he will return to the lineup tonight vs. the Canadiens. O’Reilly has 49 points (17G / 32A) in 59 games this season, including four points (1G / 3A) in three games vs. Montreal. He will centre a line with Evander Kane and Nicolas Deslauriers.

O’Reilly has been out for nearly one month due to a foot injury he suffered on February 19th. He was back on the Sabres’ top-line in practice this morning, which suggests he’ll return to the lineup vs. Montreal on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has 49 points (17G / 32A) in 59 games this season.

With Marc Staal sidelined for Tuesday’s game, Skjei was recalled and played 22:17 in the Rangers’ loss in New Jersey. His return to the AHL, suggests that Staal will be good-to-go on Thursday. Skye returns to Hartford, where he has 22 points (3G / 19A) in 52 games this season.

The Sabres announced that their leading scorer would miss 3-4 weeks, so moving him to IR was the obvious move. A three-week timetable means that O’Reilly will miss the next 10 games. With the Fantasy Hockey playoffs looming, his movement to IR will at least allow owners to stash him and look for an alternative option.

After playing just 8:45 TOI in Sunday’s win over the Panthers, Marchessault will come out of the lineup with Brian Boyle back in the lineup.
