Ekholm is coming off of a two-assist performance vs. the Islanders on Saturday, but left yesterday’s practice with an apparent upper-body/rib injury. There was no word on how serious the injury is and if he will even miss any time, but monitor his status during Wednesday’s morning skate.
Casey DeSmith was originally brought up to serve as Matt Murray’s backup, but Jarry took that spot on Monday. The 22-year-old, former second-round pick has gone 3-2-0 with a 3.18 GAA and .897 SV% in five AHL starts this season. It has been a disappointing start for Jarry, who was 28-15-1 with a 2.15 GAA and .925 SV% with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last year. He could start one of the Penguins’ back-to-back games on Wednesday/Thursday.
Andersen allowed four goals on 30 shots in the Maple Leafs’ loss to Philadelphia on Saturday. Andersen has hit the skids recently, losing three of his last four starts while allowing a combined 17 goals on 140 shots (.879 SV%). Tonight he will take on a Sharks team that has won four of their last six and come in at 5-5-0.
Kapanen has picked up three goals on six games with the Marlies this season and could make his season debut on Saturday after taking Eric Fehr’s spot on the roster. The 21-year-old winger has just one goal in 17 career NHL games.
Andersen allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Maple Leafs’ win over the Kings on Monday. It was a great bounce-back outing for Andersen, who has now won six of his eight starts with a 3.24 GAA and .900 SV%. Tonight he will take on a Hurricanes team that has struggled to start the season—they are 3-3-1 with just 2.43 goals for per game (27th).

Andersen allowed five goals on 34 shots in the Maple Leafs’ 6-3 loss in Ottawa on Saturday. Andersen has won five of his seven games despite posting a 3.41 GAA and .892 SV% thanks to the Maple Leafs absurd 4.63 goals for per game. Tonight he faces a Kings team that has yet to lose in regulation and currently rank third in goal-scoring.

Draisaitl will not be in the lineup tonight vs. the Blackhawks, but it sounds like he could be back in the Oilers lineup as soon as Saturday. His return will be huge for the struggling Oilers, so monitor his status leading up to this weekend’s meeting with the Flyers.
Andersen gave up three goals on 34 shots in the Maple Leafs’ overtime win in Montreal on Saturday. Andersen has won four of his first five starts this season despite posting a poor 3.76 GAA and .880 SV%—thank you high-scoring offence. Tonight he will face a high-powered Capitals team who he was 1-0-1 while allowing eight goals on 64 shots (.875 SV%) against last season.
Draisaitl missed Saturday’s game vs. Ottawa and has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s contest. Draisaitl’s move to IR is likely retroactive to October 11th, when he first missed practice. The move shouldn’t have any affect on when he returns to the lineup.
Draisaitl missed practice on Monday and will miss his second game in a row on Tuesday. The Oilers’ star forward remains day-to-day and the Oilers will re-evaluate him before deciding whether or not he will travel with the team on their upcoming road-trip.
