Garland is questionable to play in Game 5 vs. the Coyotes.
Myers is expected to miss Game 3 due to a shoulder injury.
Ferland (undisclosed) has left the bubble to return home.
Ferland is believed to be dealing with the same concussion-like symptoms that have plagued him all season. Ferland is expected to be re-evaluated after the qualifying round but it seems unlikely that he will return in 2020.
The Blackhawks have signed Pius Suter to a one-year, entry-level contract.
The Flyers have signed Mark Friedman to a two-year, $1.45 million (725k AAV) contract extension.
The Golden Knights have signed Jiri Patera to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Canucks signed Nils Hoglander to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Canucks drafted Hoglander with the No.40 overall pick in the 2019 draft. The highly-skilled winger had a strong year in the Swedish Elite League, scoring nine goals with seven assists (16 points) in 41 games as a 19-year-old. Hoglander also represented Sweden at the World Juniors, where helped them to a bronze medal and finished third on the team with 11 points (5G / 6A) in seven games.
The Blackhawks signed Kevin Lankinen to a two-year contract extension worth $1.6 million ($800K AAV).
Lakinen was an undrafted free agent netminder out of Finland that joined the Blackhawks organization in 2019. During the 2020 campaign, the 24-year-old went 8-10-2 with a 3.03 GAA and .909 SV% in 21 AHL games.
The Flyers have recalled Mark Friedman from Lehigh Valley (AHL).
With Philippe Myers out long-term, Friedman comes up to serve as the Flyers seventh defenseman. Friedman has one assist in six NHL games this season and has picked up 18 points (3G / 15A) in 45 AHL games.
Goalie Start
Demko will start Tuesday vs. the Islanders.
Demko allowed two goals on 22 shots in the Canucks loss to the Blue Jackets on Sunday. It looks like Demko will make his fourth straight start tonight and he's gone 2-4-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .903 SV% in six starts since Jacob Markstrom got hurt. Tonight he'll face an Islanders team that has lost six straight (0-3-3) while averring just 2.00 goals per game.

Boeser (ribs) will return to the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.
Boeser has missed the last 12 games but was on the ice for the morning skate and will play tonight vs. the Islanders. Boeser will return on a line with Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson and comes in with 16 goals and 29 assists (45 points) in 56 games this season.
Garland is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Garland is expected to miss three weeks, which could effectively end his 2020 campaign. This is a huge-blow for the Coyotes, who lose their leading goal-scorer in the middle of a playoff race.
Goalie Start
Demko will start Sunday vs. the Blue Jackets.
Wolanin will make his season debut on Saturday.
Wolanin had four goals and eight assists (12 points) in 30 games with Ottawa last season but missed the first four and a half months of this year with a shoulder injury. He's expected to start on the third-pair with Andreas Englund but could move up as the game goes on.
Myers (undisclosed) will draw back into the Canucks lineup on Friday.
Myers missed Wednesday's game vs. the Coyotes after being listed as a game-time decision but will play tonight vs. the Avalanche. Myers has six points (2G / 4A) in his last 15 games.
