Krug was absent from the Bruins’ morning skate on Monday, but head coach Claude Julien said that Krug will try and give it a go tonight. Krug has had a hard time finding the back of the net in his first 25 games, scoring just one goal on 77 shots, but it’s only a matter of time before the puck starts bouncing the right way for the talented defenseman.

Buchnevich will sit out for a second straight game because of back spasms. Buchnevich has been impressive in his first 10 games, collecting eight points (4G / 4A). Consider him day-to-day.

Faulk has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but will be back in the lineup tonight vs. San Jose. Faulk has collected three goals and three assists in 11 games so far this season.

Faulk has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, but he appears to be on-track to return on Friday. Head coach Bill Peters has not ruled Faulk out for Tuesday, but it doesn’t seem likely that he will play until later this week.

Witkowski, 26, has picked up three assists in 11 games with Syracuse this season. His call-up is likely related to Anton Stralman’s injury and suggests that Stralman may not be available vs. the Islanders. Witkowski has no points in 20 career NHL games.

Faulk was listed as week-to-week, so his movement to IR creates a roster to recall a defenseman from Charlotte (AHL). Faulk will likely miss at least two weeks.

Faulk was injured in Sunday’s game vs. the Devils and will likely miss at least two weeks with an upper-body injury. With Faulk out, Jaccob Slavin and Brett Pesce will make up the Hurricanes’ top-pair. Noah Hanifin should take over Faulk’s duties on the top power-play unit.

Faulk left Sunday’s game vs. the Devils with an undisclosed injury and it will keep him out of Monday’s game. Faulk is arguably the Hurricanes’ most important player, so this is a huge loss. Consider him day-to-day until more information on his injury is released.

Buchnevich has missed the last five games with a back issue, but will be back in the lineup on Friday. Buchnevich has one assist in two NHL games and will take Josh Jooris’ spot in the lineup.

Buchnevich will miss his fifth consecutive game with a back injury, but he reportedly worked very hard in practice on Wednesday and is expected to return to the lineup on Friday. Buchnevich has one assist and four shots in two games this season.

Buchnevich has missed the last four games with a back injury, but he remains day-to-day and is not expected to play vs. the Bruins on Wednesday.

Leddy missed Friday’s game vs. the Arizona Coyotes, but tonight he will replace Ryan Pulock in the lineup. He has one goal, one assist and a minus-7 rating in four games this season.

Leddy missed Friday’s game with an upper-body injury, but he got through Saturday’s practice without a hitch and appears good-to-go for Sunday’s game. He would re-claim his spot from Ryan Pulock, who is now out for at least one month with a broken foot.

Buchnevich will miss his third consecutive game with back spasms. He remains day-to-day and with the Rangers having a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, expect him to miss both contests.

There is no word on when Leddy suffered the injury, but he will not be in the lineup on Friday due to an upper-body injury. With Leddy day-to-day, Ryan Pulock will be in the lineup and take Leddy’s spot on the Islanders’ top power-play unit.

Leddy missed Thursday's practice with an upper-body injury that he likely suffered on Tuesday vs. the Sharks. With Leddy questionable, the Islanders recalled Ryan Pulock from Bridgeport (AHL) and he will take Leddy's spot in the lineup should he be unable to play tomorrow.

Schenn’s three-game is done and he is set to return to the Flyers’ lineup on Thursday. Schenn is coming off of a career-year and will take his spot on the Flyers’ top line with Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds back from Michael Raffl, who was injured last night.

Gunnarsson played just 9:55 before leaving Saturday’s game with an upper-body injury. Gunnarsson will travel to Vancouver, but he may sit out of Tuesday’s game. If he’s out, look for Robert Bortuzzo to get back in the lineup.

Buchnevich has recorded one assist and four shots on goal while averaging 14:52 TOI in his first two career NHL games. With the rookie out, Rick Nash is expected to move into the top-6, Jesper Fast to the third line and Josh Jooris is expected to make his Rangers debut. Buchnevich is listed as day-to-day.
