Kunin has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury but is expected to replace Gerald Mayhew in the lineup on Tuesday. It's unclear how the Wild's lines will shake out with this change but Kunin re-enters the lineup with 11 points (4G / 7A) in his last 19 games.
While has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury but will play tonight in Pittsburgh. White, who has 17 points (6G / 11A) in 56 games this season, is expected to be on the third line with Nick Paul and Jayce Hawryluk and should see some time on PP1 as well.

Since Igor Shesterkin got hurt, Georgiev has won two in a row while stopping 74 of the 79 shots (.937 SV%) that he's faced.

He's now 13-4-0 with a 2.75 GAA and .925 SV% on the road.

Couture was a surprising participant in the Sharks' morning skate and will be a game-time decision tonight. Head coach Bob Boughner said that they'll see how his ankle responds this afternoon before deciding if he'll play in Philadelphia.
Rutta has already missed the last nine games and will likely miss at least seven more. The Lightning went out and added Zach Bogosian on Sunday, so he'll fill in for Rutta moving forward.
This is a bit of a surprising return for an undrafted 26-year-old with just 24 points (8G / 16A) in 62 games this season. However, he is under contract next season with a very small $925K cap-hit, which is good news for a cap-strapped Lightning team. Goodrow has good size (6-foot-2, 215 lbs) and is a capable penalty killer that really bolsters Tampa Bay's fourth line.
