Rittich allowed two goals on 23 shots in the Flames loss in Arizona on Saturday. Cam Talbot started twice last week but the schedule sets up for Rittich to start all three games this week.

Varlamov allowed four goals on 28 shots in Colorado's win over the Maple Leafs last Wednesday. Thomas Greiss started Saturday but the goalie rotation will continue tonight in Pittsburgh.

With Trevor Moore going on IR with a shoulder injury, Engvall gets his first career NHL call-up. The 2014 seventh-round pick has been surprising this season, tying for the Marlies team-lead with 16 points (7G / 9A) in 15 games.
Rittich allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Flames loss to the Blues last Saturday. With Cam Talbot starting vs. the Stars on Tuesday, it has been a full week since Rittich's last game. He stopped 34 of 37 shots in a come-from-behind overtime win in his first start vs. Arizona.

Varlamov surrendered three goals on 31 shots in the Islanders win over the Flyers last Sunday. Thomas Greiss started last night so look for Varlamov to get the second game of their back-to-back in Buffalo.

Boqvist was the No.8 overall pick in 2018 and has registered just one goal in six games with Rockford this season. He is an under-sized, offensive-minded defenseman that had 60 points (20G / 40A) in 54 games with the London Knights (OHL) last season. The Blackhawks continue to make a commitment to younger players, as Boqvist's promotion comes one day after they said Kirby Dach will remain with the team.
Martin suffered a lower-body injury in Ottawa last Friday and the Islanders immediately announced that he will miss at least one month. So moving him to IR simply opens up a roster spot for the Islanders to call-up Otto Koivula from Bridgeport (AHL).
