Foudy had a tough night vs. the Hurricanes on Sunday, going pointless with a minus-3 rating in 12:35 TOI. Tonight he'll be a healthy scratch for the second time in three games--Mikhail Grigorenko will replace him.
Bear will miss his third straight game with a head injury that he suffered a week ago. With Bear out, William Lagesson will remain on the Oilers' blueline.
The Canadiens have started a rotation on their third pair, so tonight Romanov will replace Victor Mete and skate with Brett Kulak. After a hot start to the season, Romanov has been held pointless in his last six games.
Foudy will come out of the lineup on Thursday as he heads to the taxi squad with Nathan Gerbe coming up. It looks as if Riley Nash will replace Foudy in the lineup.
Rittich allowed four goals on 21 shots in the Flames loss in Montreal last Thursday. It was a tough season debut for Rittich, who draws another tough matchup tonight in Winnipeg. Rittich was 15-10-3 with a 2.81 GAA, .914 SV% and one shutout on the road a season ago.
Hogberg allowed five goals on 22 shots after replacing Matt Murray in the Senators loss in Edmonton on Sunday. Hogberg has struggled mightily this season, allowing five goals in all three of his appearances so far, posting a 4.71 GAA and .845 SV% overall.
Bear was hit in the head by a puck while sitting on the bench last night and is doubtful to play Sunday vs. the Senators. With Bear likely out, either William Lagesson or Kris Russell will likely play.
It looks like Mikhail Maltsev will make his NHL debut on Sunday, replacing Palmieri in the lineup. The Devils did not mention any injury news, so Palmieri may be a healthy scratch.
Highmore was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Ryan Carpenter, who was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Saturday. Highmore has no points in four games this season.
Varlamov was yanked after allowing five goals on 22 shots in the Islanders loss in Washington on Thursday. The Islanders took an early 3-0 lead and looked to have things in hand but it got away from them in the second period, handing Varlamov his second straight defeat. After a red-hot start to the season, Varlamov is now 3-2-0 with a 1.82 GAA and .936 SV% through five starts.
Pulock missed Friday's practice with a leg injury that he seemingly suffered late in Thursday's game in Washington. Head coach Barry Trotz called him a game-time decision for Saturday but also added that he expects him to play.
