Sissons was not on the ice for the Predators morning skate, so he is listed as a game-time decision. If Sissons can’t play, Kevin Fiala (upper-body) is expected to draw back in to take his roster spot.

Barbashev unsurprisingly cracked the Blues roster, but was surprisingly scratched in the first two contests. This afternoon he will replace Oskar Sundqvist as the third-line centre and will look to build off of the 12 points (5G / 7A) he had in 30 games with the Blues last season.

Eichel is entering the final year of his entry-level contract, so this extension will kick in for the 2018-19 season and run through the 2025-26 campaign—he will be 29-years-old. Eichel is hoping for a better start to 2017-18 after last year got derailed by an injury before the first game. Upon his return to the Buffalo lineup, Eichel was 10th in the NHL in points and is pegged as one of the biggest breakout candidates coming into this season.

Megna, 24, was a seventh round pick in 2012 and made his NHL debut in 2016-17, appearing in one game with the Ducks. He had a career-high 27 points (5G / 22A) in 62 AHL games with the San Diego Gulls.

Senators General Manager Pierre Dorion said Stone won’t play “soon” and his injury should be “measured in weeks.” This is a big blow to the Senators’ late-season push for the Atlantic Division and to fantasy owners alike.

Stone was hurt in Thursday’s game in Arizona and will come out of the lineup tonight in Colorado. Phil Varone was recalled from Binghamton (AHL) yesterday and will replace Stone in the lineup tonight.

Barbashev has been a healthy scratch for the last three games, but will replace Jori Lehtera in the lineup on Saturday. Barbashev has just two goals and one assist in his first 14 career NHL games.

Marner has missed the last five games with an upper-body injury, but will play tonight in San Jose. Marner has had an outstanding rookie season, having scored 15 goals with 33 assists (48 points) in 56 games. Marner will reclaim his spot on the second line with Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk.

Hutton missed Saturday’s game with what was believed to be mumps, but he was misdiagnosed. Hutton is feeling better and will suit up tonight vs. the Red Wings. He comes into Tuesday with four goals and 11 assists (15 points) in 50 games this season.

Marner will miss his fifth consecutive games with an upper-body injury that he suffered 10 days ago. Marner was on the ice for the Maple Leafs’ morning skate and head coach Mike Babcock said that he looked like the best player out there and didn’t know why he’s not playing tonight.

Marner will miss his fourth consecutive games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Wednesday. Marner skated with a small group of players this morning, which is a good sign, but monitor his status leading up to Saturday’s game vs. Montreal.

Stone missed Tuesday’s game in New Jersey with a neck injury that he suffered on a hit from Jacob Trouba on Sunday. Stone was fortunate to avoid a concussion on the play and could end up only missing two games. Monitor his status leading up to the Sunday-Monday back-to-back.
