Pearson (COVID-19 protocol) will be back in the Canucks lineup on Tuesday.

Pearson has missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but will play Tuesday in Nashville. It's unclear who Pearson will replace but he should be back in the Canucks' top-6. He's scored seven goals with 11 assists (18 points) in 41 games this season.

The Wild have signed Jordan Greenway to a three-year contract extension worth $9.0 million ($3.0M AAV).

Greenway's offensive numbers have fallen off a little bit this season after posting a career-high 32 points (6G / 26A) in 56 games last season. So far, he has 13 points (4G / 9A) in 33 games while adding 82 hits and 47 shots on goal. Greenway was set to become an RFA at the end of the season.

Norris (shoulder) will be out until after the All-Star break.

Norris suffered a shoulder injury on a hit from Andrei Svechnikov on Thursday and will miss at least the next three games. This puts the Senators in a tough spot, missing both Norris and Drake Batherson from their top line. Mark Kastelic will make his NHL debut to replace Norris.
