Hart left Tuesday's game with a lower-body injury after surrendering three goals on the first 10 shots that he faced. Martin Jones, who did not fare any better against the Capitals, will likely start Wednesday with Hart unavailable.
Stone has been out since April 8th but will play Tuesday in Vancouver on a line with Chandler Stephenson and Max Pacioretty. In order to make room for Stone, the Golden Knights placed William Carrier, Laurent Brossoit and Nolan Patrick on LTIR.
Hagg was a healthy scratch in Nashville on Saturday but will replace Lucas Carlsson in the lineup on Tuesday. Hagg has picked up one assist in his first nine games since joining the Panthers on March 20th.
Stone has been out since February 8th but has been on the ice for the last couple of sessions and will be a game-time decision on Tuesday. Stone is currently on LTIR and the Golden Knights have no cap space, so they will need to make some moves in order to activate him ahead of tomorrow's game.
McNabb has missed the last 13 games with an arm injury that he suffered on March 3rd. McNabb, who has 11 points (2G / 9A) in 55 games this season, will skate on a pair with Shea Theodore.
Hart was originally expected to start Tuesday in Minnesota but is not available due to a nagging injury. Felix Sandström will come up from the AHL to serve as the backup. Hart is expected to be good to go by this weekend when the Flyers return home to play the Maple Leafs.
Whitecloud missed three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Saturday afternoon vs. the Blackhawks. Whitecloud and Alec Martinez will both be back in, providing a massive boost to the Golden Knights' bllueline on Saturday.
Howden had to be stretchered off of the ice after taking an awkward hit from Filip Forsberg on Thursday night. He was sent to the hospital to undergo evaluation but was released and was at the team facility on Friday. Nothing was broken but he is still expected to be sidelined for an extended period of time.
Lauzon was selected from Boston in the expansion draft and totalled six points (1G / 5A), 176 hits and 49 blocked shots across 53 games with the Kraken this season. With both Mark Borowiecki and Matt Benning on IR, Lauzon provides the Predators with additional defenseman depth.
Hagg is in the final year of a two-year deal worth $1.6M AAV. The Panthers created room by placing Aaron Ekblad (lower-body) on LTIR and Hagg provides a little more defensive depth with Ekblad out for the rest of the regular season. Hagg has picked up one goal and seven assists (eight points) in 48 games with Buffalo this season.
