Leddy has seen very little deployment this season, scoring four assists in 19 games, and will report to the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) after clearing waivers. The 34-year-old veteran has 1061 NHL games played and has not suited up in the AHL since the 2012-13 season.
Robinson exited Monday's game in the first period because of an upper-body injury. Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour should provide an update following the game. The 30-year-old forward has 15 points (10G / 5A) in 43 games this season.
The Canucks are in last place, amid a miserably 10-game losing streak (0-8-2), and will hope for a strong performance from Lankinen to get them back into the win column. Despite the recent skid, Lankinen has been serviceable between the pipes, but the team has given him little to no scoring support on most nights. He has a 3.03 GAA and .905 SV% in his last seven games (2-4-1). The Canucks enter Monday's contest as +125 home underdogs against the New York Islanders, who have lost three of their last five games (2-2-1).
Sundqvist suffered a scary injury on Sunday, a cut that narrowly missed his Achilles, which would have likely ended his season. The 31-year-old Sundqvist is averaging 13:20 time-on-ice and has 13 points (3G / 10A) in 39 games this season.
After a miserable nine-game losing streak (0-8-1), the Ducks seem to be turning a corner, receiving terrific goaltending during a three-game winning streak. The 25-year-old Dostal has saved 50 of 53 combined shots (.943 SV%) over his last two games, allowing two or fewer goals in each contest to end a stretch of six straight starts (0-5-1) where he had allowed four or more goals. The Ducks enter the action on Monday as -127 home favorites against a New York Rangers team that snapped a five-game losing streak (0-4-1) in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers.
Kovacevic recently made his season debut after knee surgery and will be a healthy scratch on Monday as he continues to acclimate to game speed. Simon Nemec will draw back into New Jersey's lineup as Kovacevic's replacement.
Nemec has been a healthy scratch several times over the past two weeks, and will return to the lineup on Monday against the Calgary Flames. The 21-year-old Slovak defenseman is having a solid season, with 18 points (7G / 11A) in 33 games, but has gone scoreless and is minus-2 in three games since returning from a prolonged injury. Johnathan Kovacevic will be a healthy scratch to accommodate the Devils' lineup change.
Lee has been a regular for the Kings for most of the month, scoring two points (1G / 1A) in seven games, but will return to a familiar place in the AHL. The 25-year-old Lee has 27 points (15G / 12A) in 32 games with Ontario (AHL) this season.
Markstrom followed up a two-game winning streak by allowing four goals on 35 shots (.886 SV%) in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The 35-year-old goalie has a 3.02 GAA and .889 SV% in his last eight games (4-4-0). He will likely return to the crease on Monday, with the Devils entering action as slight -113 road favorites against his former team, the Calgary Flames, who have won three of their last four games (3-1-0).
Hameenaho was drafted 58th overall by New Jersey in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old has 21 points (9G / 12A) in 33 games with Utica (AHL) this season. Juho Lammikko will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Hameenaho's debut.
Lenni Hameenaho will make his NHL debut on Monday, sending Lammikko to the press box as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Lammikko has two assists in 23 games this season.
With Ondrej Palat (illness) returning to the lineup, Glendenning will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 36-year-old Glendenning has played all 48 games for the Devils this season. He has zero goals and four assists.
Palat did not play in New Jersey's most recent game, but he practiced on Monday and is expected to be in the lineup against the Anaheim Ducks on Monday. The 34-year-old Czech forward has struggled offensively this season, with only 10 points (4G / 6A) through 47 games.
With Chris Kreider returning from a two-game absence because of an illness, Harkins will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 28-year-old Harkins has three assists in 24 games this season.
Sherwood has not played in over a week due to an undisclosed injury, and his first game with the San Jose Sharks likely won't be until after the Olympic Break. The 29-year-old hard-hitting Sherwood truly broke out last season, scoring 40 points (19G / 21A) and recording an absurd 462 hits in 78 games. He has continued the 2025-26 season on a similar pace, with 23 points (17G / 6A) and 210 hits through 44 games.
Clayton is an undrafted defenseman that has never played an NHL game and will likely be an organizational depth blueliner for Vancouver, playing in Abbotsford (AHL). The 25-year-old Clayton had five points (2G / 3A) in 33 games with the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) before the trade.
Knight has lost two straight (0-2-0), but given his team a chance to win in both outings, as he has most of the season, saving 53 of 58 combined shots (.914 SV%). The 24-year-old Knight has excelled in his first full season with a Blackhawks team that struggled defensively at times. He has a 2.53 GAA and .911 SV% in his last six games (3-2-1). The Blackhawks enter Monday's contest as +119 home underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that has points in five straight games (4-0-1).
Kreider has not played since a one-goal performance in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Dallas Stars, missing two games because of an illness, but will return to the lineup on Monday against his former team, the New York Rangers. The 34-year-old veteran has 25 points (15G / 10A) in 42 games this season.
Michael Kesselring (load management) will not play on Monday, allowing Bryson to re-enter the lineup. The 28-year-old Bryson is averaging 10:26 time-on-ice and has five points (2G / 3A) in 30 games this season.
Kesslering returned from a three-week absence due to an injury on Saturday and will head to the sidelines as he continues to acclimate to game speed. Jacob Bryson will draw into the lineup as Kesselring's replacement. Lindy Ruff stated after the game taht Kesselring had tweaked something and is a possibility to play on Tuesday.
