Nugent-Hopkins has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but is set to play Wednesday vs. the Canadiens. Head coach Dave Tippett would not confirm his lines for Wednesday but look for Nugent-Hopkins to skate with Connor McDavid.
Hyman was forced to leave Sunday's game in Vancouver after a knee-on-knee collision with Alexander Edler. Edler was suspended for two games for the play but it will cost Hyman at least two weeks. This is a tough blow for the Maple Leafs, who rely on Hyman to do a lot of different things.
Janmark was acquired from the Blackhawks on Monday and is expected to make his debut tonight in Los Angeles. Janmark, who had 10 goals and nine assists (19 points) in 41 games with Chicago, is expected to start on the third line with Tomas Nosek and Alex Tuch.
Lazar was acquired from the Sabres on Sunday and will be a game-time decision for his Bruins' debut on Tuesday. Lazar centred the fourth line with Sean Kuraly and Chris Wagner in the morning skate.
Lazar has not played since March 31st due to a lower-body injury but will likely serve as a fourth-line option in Boston once he's healthy. Lazar doesn't provide much offensive but was very solid in Buffalo's bottom-6 this year.
The Blackhawks will sit Janmark a few days before the trade deadline to protect one of their potential trade pieces. Janmark has scored 10 goals with nine assists (19 points) in 41 games in his first season with the Blackhawks.
Roslovic got off to a great start with the Blue Jackets but has quickly found himself in John Tortorella's doghouse. Roslovic has just one goal and one assist in his last six games and will be scratched in favour of a seventh defenseman on Saturday.
Lazar suffered a lower-body injury shortly after scoring his fifth goal of the season on Wednesday and will miss at least a few weeks. With Lazar coming out of the lineup on Thursday, Rasmus Asplund will draw back into the lineup.
