Myers missed Wednesday's game vs. the Coyotes after being listed as a game-time decision but will play tonight vs. the Avalanche. Myers has six points (2G / 4A) in his last 15 games.

Oettinger was recalled to serve as Anton Khudobin’s backup on Tuesday but his return to the AHL suggests that Ben Bishop (lower-body) will suit up Thursday in Nashville.

Myers missed Tuesday's practice but was on the ice for the morning skate, so there's a chance he plays tonight vs. the Coyotes. Myers is officially a game-time decision, so monitor his status as they hit the ice for warmups at 10:00 PM ET.


It sounds like Ben Bishop is dealing with a minor lower-body injury, so Oettinger is expected to serve as Anton Khudobin's backup on Tuesday. Oettinger has gone 12-16-4 with a 2.62 GAA and .912 SV% in 35 AHL games this season.







Hintz missed the last two games with an upper-body injury but is set to play tonight in New York. Not only does it look like he'll play but it looks like Hintz will be on the top-line with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin on his wings. Hintz has 15 goals with nine assists (24 points) in 42 games this season.

Hintz was on the ice for Friday's practice and Saturday's morning skate but will miss his second straight games with an upper-body injury. With Hintz and Justin Dowling out, Joel Kiviranta was recalled from the AHL and will play in New Jersey.

Kiviranta has no points in seven NHL games but has 20 points (11G / 9A) in 38 AHL games this season. With Roope Hintz and Justin Dowling out, Kiviranta will be on the fourth line on Saturday.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson was forced to leave Thursday's game with a lower-body injury, so Capobianco returns to the NHL where he has one goal in eight games this season.


Hintz left Monday's game with an upper-body after his first shift and did not return. Head coach Rick Bowness said that Hintz is day-to-day and will not play vs. the Maple Leafs.

Faksa missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but will play tonight vs. the Lightning. Faksa, who will centre Andrew Cogliano and Blake Comeau, has 16 points (9G / 7A) in 45 games this season.

Faksa will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury but has been moved to IR to make room for Stephen Johns (head) to be activated.
