The Bruins suffered a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Monday and will switch to Ullmark between the pipes on Thursday. Despite only one victory in his last two starts (1-0-1), Ullmark has been sensational, allowing only three goals on 65 combined shots (.954 SV%). The Bruins enter action as sizeable -206 road favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that handily defeated 9-4 in January.

Kaliyev will be the odd-man out on Monday as the Kings opt to dress seven defensemen. Mikey Anderson (upper-body) will return to the Kings' lineup in place of Kaliyev.

Lycksell will return to the AHL after a four-game stint with the Flyers. He is yet to register a goal but has managed three assists in nine games with the Flyers this season.

Lycksell has three assists in nine games this season but will head to the press box as the odd-man out of the Flyers' lineup with Travis Konecny (upper body) returning. The 24-year-old Lycksell has yet to score his first career NHL goal despite partaking in 17 games in the previous two seasons.

With Thomas Chabot injured, Ottawa recalled Guenette from Belleville (AHL). Guenette played two games with Ottawa earlier this season but has spent most of his time with Belleville, scoring 29 points (5G / 24A) in 49 games.

Kaliyev has not played since February 27th, missing three games, but will re-enter the lineup on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. Kaliyev has been in and out of the lineup for the last several months as a result of inconsistent play. He has zero points in his last 16 games.

With Darcy Kuemper's status for Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins uncertain due to an illness, the Capitals have recalled Shepard from the Hershey Bears (AHL). Hunter played reasonably in a four-game stint with the Capitals earlier this season but has spent most of his time in the AHL, posting a 2.00 GAA and .919 SV% in 26 games (21-3-2) with the Bears.

Sogaard started the last two games for Ottawa, both losing efforts and will return to the Belleville Senators of the AHL. Sogaard allowed two goals on 16 shots (.875 SV%) in a 2-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday night.

Chabot has been battling a lower-body injury for the past several games and will be out after being re-evaluated before Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Kings. Chabot has one point (1G / 0A) in his past five games after scoring five (3G / 2A) in his previous three. Max Guenette will likely draw into the lineup in Chabot's absence.

With Thomas Chabot injured, Ottawa has recalled Guenette from Belleville (AHL). Guenette played two games with Ottawa earlier this season but has spent most of his time with Belleville, scoring 29 points (5G / 24A) in 49 games.

Sogaard will make a second consecutive start for the Senators when they travel to Anaheim to take on the Ducks on Wednesday. Sogaard was unfortunate to pick up the loss his last time out, stopping 36 of the 39 shots he faced as the Senators fell to the Flyers by a score of 4-2. He owns an underwhelming .857 SV% across five appearances with the Senators this season, but luckily for Sogaard, he's got a great chance of getting back in the win column on Wednesday. The Senators are -200 favourites against a depleted Ducks' team.

Ullmark will be back between the pipes for the tail-end of the Bruins' back-to-back on Tuesday after Jeremy Swayman got the start in Toronto on Monday. Ullmark had a rough go his last time out, allowing five goals on 26 shots as the Bruins fell to the Islanders by a score of 5-1. He is in the midst of a personal five-game losing streak, and things won't get any easier for him on Tuesday night as he's set to take on Connor McDavid and the Oilers.

Tkachuk missed his first game of the season on Saturday due to an upper-body injury but is expected to return to the Senators' lineup on Wednesday vs. Anaheim. The 24-year-old captain makes a welcome return as he is first on the team in goals (26) and third in points (50) while leading all skaters in PIMs (104) as well across his 58 games played before the injury. He will resume his role on Ottawa's top line and powerplay.

MacEwen played only 2:18 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. The bruising forward was playing in his second game since being recalled last week. Rourke Chartier has been recalled from Belleville (AHL) in the interim.

Lycksell will be back in the Flyers' lineup on Monday after sitting out Saturday's game against the Senators. Nicolas Deslauriers will sit in his place.

Guenette played 11:38 time-on-ice for Ottawa on Saturday, recording a +1 plus/minus, two penalty minutes, and two hits. He has been reassigned to Belleville (AHL), where he has 29 points (5G / 24A) in 48 games this season.

Leevi served as the backup to Anton Forsberg over the weekend as Joonas Korpisalo was out of the lineup with an illness. Merilainen has a 3.02 GAA and .904 SV% in 16 games (7-6-1) with Belleville (AHL) this season.
