Chychrun is week-to-week with a hip injury.

Chychrun missed the last two games with a hip injury that he suffered in Dallas last Wednesday. GM John Chayka met with the media on Monday and listed the young defenseman as week-to-week, which leaves a huge hole on their blueline as they try to lock-up a playoff spot in the Western Conference. So long as Chychrun is out, look for Aaron Ness to remain with the Coyotes.

The Ducks have acquired Sonny Milano from the Blue Jackets for Devin Shore.

The Blue Jackets made Milano the 16th overall pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward struggled to maintain a spot in the lineup under head coach John Tortorella. He scored five goals and added 13 assists in 46 games for Columbus this season. Milano is set to become a restricted free-agent on July 1st.

Lindgren will start Tuesday in New Jersey.

Lindgren allowed four goals on 28 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Blackhawks on January 15th. With Carey Price out with the flu, Lindgren will make his fourth start of the season in New Jersey. He is 0-3-0 with a 3.40 GAA and .892 SV% in his first three starts. He catches a break with the Devils without Nico Hischier and Sami Vatanen.

Ovechkin will serve his one-game suspension for skipping the All-Star game on Monday.

Ovechkin skipped this past weekend's All-Star festivities and will miss Monday's game in Montreal as a result. With Ovechkin suspended, Travis Boyd is expected to draw into the lineup but it remains to be seen who will move up to play with Nicklas Backstrom.

Lindgren will start Wednesday vs. the Blackhawks.

Lindgren allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Canadiens loss in Detroit on January 7th. Since coming up from the AHL, Lindgren has lost both of his starts while allowing a combined six goals on 65 shots (.908 SV%). Tonight he'll take on a Blackhawks team that played last night but they've won five of their last six road games while averaging 4.17 goals for per game.

The Maple Leafs have recalled Rasmus Sandin from Toronto (AHL).

Sandin has been all over the place this season. He started the year in the NHL, posting two assists in six games, was then sent to the AHL and then loaned to Team Sweden for the World Juniors, where he had 10 points (3G / 7A) in seven games. Toronto is trying to sort some stuff out defensively, so it looks like they'll give the 19-year-old another look.

Lindgren will start Tuesday in Detroit.

Lindgren allowed two goals on 35 shots in the Canadiens loss in Carolina on New Year's Eve. It was a solid season debut for the 26-year-old. He faced the Red Wings in 2017, stopping 25 of 27 shots in a 3-2 win. Montreal has somehow lost their first two games vs. Detroit this season, so they'll lean on Lindgren tonight on the tail-end of a back-to-back to try and make that 1-2.
