Murphy was a bit of a surprise scratch on Tuesday but Chicago announced that he'll miss at least 10 days with a hip injury. This is a huge loss for Chicago, who had Lucas Carlsson replace him in the top-4 a couple of nights ago.

Ekholm was hurt Tuesday vs. the Lightning and did not return for the third period. Head coach John Hynes told a local radio station that Ekholm is week-to-week, so expect him to miss at least a couple of weeks.

Andersen stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Canucks on Monday. Andersen is riding a three-game winning streak, having stopped 74 of the 79 shots (.937 SV%) that he faced. Tonight he will face the Canadiens for the second time this season, he won the first in OT but Montreal leads the NHL in goals-per-game (4.00) through their first 12 games.


The Predators cited "baby reasons" for why he missed Monday's game but he is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Expect Ekholm to replace Jared Tinordi on the blueline.







Bouchard was the No.10 overall pick in 2018 and appeared in seven games with the Oilers in 2018-19. The 21-year-old, who had 36 points (7G / 29A) in 54 games with Bakersfield (AHL) last year, will make his season debut vs. the Senators and is expected to skate on the third pair with Kris Russell.





Andersen allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Oilers last Friday. Jack Campbell started Sunday but was hurt in the win over the Flames, so Andersen could become an even bigger workhorse for the nest few weeks. After a rough start to the season, Andersen has gone 2-1-0 while stopping 76 of 81 shots (.938 SV%) in his last three starts. Tonight he faces a Calgary team that Andersen was 0-1-1 with a 2.48 GAA and .911 SV% against last year.

Jarry gave up two goals on 26 shots in the Penguins' win over the Rangers on Sunday. After a horrible start to the season, Jarry has settled in in his last two outings, going 2-0-0 while stopping 55 of the 60 shots (.917 SV%) that he's faced. On Tuesday he'll face a Bruins team that is still without David Pastrnak but have found their offence in the last two games, scoring a combined 11 goals in back-to-back wins over the Flyers.
