Hathaway will draw into the lineup on Thursday along with Nicolas Deslauriers as the Flyers opt to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Carl Grundstrom and Lane Pederson will serve as healthy scratches.
The Devils have been rotating goalies, not entirely by preference, as neither Jake Allen nor Jacob Markstrom has been able to string together a consistent stretch of reliable goaltending. The 35-year-old Markstrom allowed three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%) in his previous outing, a 4-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. He has a sub- .900 SV% in four of his last five games (3-2-0). The Devils enter the action on Thursday as -131 home favourites against a Nashville Predators team that has lost four of their last five games (1-3-1).
Lundell exited Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Utah Mammoth in the second period because of an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old Finnish forward is averaging 19:10 time-on-ice and has 36 points (15G / 21A) through 52 games this season. He will not play on Thursday against the St. Louis Blues, but is not expected to be out long-term.

The Golden Knights will turn back to Schmid between the pipes on Tuesday after starting Adin Hill in each of the team's previous two games. Schmid saw a personal four-game winning streak come to an end in his last start, when he allowed four goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 loss to the Bruins on Thursday.

The Golden Knights relied heavily on Carter Hart when he made his debut in December, making Schmid an afterthought, but now with Hart (lower body) sidelined, the team seems keen on rotating between Schmid and the recently activated Adin Hill. The 25-year-old Schmid was excellent in his most recent game, saving 27 of 29 shots (.931 SV%) in a 7-2 win over the Nashville Predators, and has a 2.05 GAA and .917 SV% during a four-game winning streak. The Golden Knights enter Thursday's contest as -140 road favorites against a Boston Bruins team whose six-game winning streak was snapped on Tuesday in a 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars.
