The Avalanche did not provide an update on Graves' condition postgame, so it's unclear whether or not he will be available for Saturday's rematch. If not, look for Jacob MacDonald to draw back into the lineup and for Patrik Nemeth to move up and skate with Cale Makar.

Lizotte missed Thursday's practice and is not expected to be available for Friday's game in Anaheim. With Lizotte not expected to play, look for Jaret Anderson-Dolan to draw back in.

Hayes has not scored in his last 15 games, posting just three assists over that span. Carsen Twarysnki will draw in to replace the centre.

Acciari has missed six of the last seven games but will draw back into the lineup tonight in Chicago. It's unclear who Acciari will replace, but he'll likely play on the fourth line.

Acciari is expected to miss the next two games but shoulder return in Nashville next week. With Acciari and Carter Verhaeghe both on the path to return in the next two weeks, the Panthers are going to have to make some very difficult lineup decisions.

Grzelcyk has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday in Buffalo. Grzelcyk will be back on the top pair and top power-play unit. He's had a tough year with injuries but has been effective when healthy, scoring three goals with 10 assists (13 points) in 25 games.

Acciari will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. With Acciari out, Sam Bennett made his Panthers' debut over the weekend and Lucas Wallmark centres the fourth line.
