Acciari (upper-body) is expected to play on the Panthers' upcoming road trip.
Acciari is expected to miss the next two games but shoulder return in Nashville next week. With Acciari and Carter Verhaeghe both on the path to return in the next two weeks, the Panthers are going to have to make some very difficult lineup decisions.
Acciari remains day-to-day with an upper-body injury; will not play Monday.
Acciari will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. With Acciari out, Sam Bennett made his Panthers' debut over the weekend and Lucas Wallmark centres the fourth line.
Line Change
Acciari will come out of the Panthers lineup on Saturday.
The Capitals have acquired Anthony Mantha from the Red Wings for Jakub Vrana, Richard Panik, a 2021 first-round pick and a 2022 second-round pick.
Rakell (upper-body) will return to the Ducks lineup on Friday.
Line Change
Jones will be back in the Oilers lineup on Friday.
Jones has been a healthy scratch for the last five games but will replace Kris Russell in the lineup on Friday. Jones has contributed very little offensively this season, picking up no goals with just one assist in 17 games.
Rakell is day-to-day with an upper-body injury; will not play Monday.
Dumba (lower-body) will return to the Wild lineup on Thursday.
As hinted to on Wednesday, Dumba will return from a three-game absence on Thursday. The Wild managed to go 2-1-0 without Dumba but he'll provide a massive lift to their blueline vs. St. Louis. Dumba has been relatively quiet as of late but has accumulated 11 points (5G / 6A) in 26 games so far this season.
Dumba (lower-body) will not play Wednesday but could return to the lineup on Thursday.
Dumba will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury but the Wild said he may play Thursday. Brad Hunt will remain in the lineup and is expected to be on the top power-play unit.
Aho (the other one) will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Dumba (lower-body) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play Saturday.
Dumba (lower-body) is doubtful to play Saturday.
Dumba left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury when he fell awkwardly into the boards. With Dumba expected to miss Saturday's game, he will likely be replaced by Carson Soucy, who missed yesterday's game due to a one-game suspension.
Malkin (lower-body) will not play on Thursday.
The Penguins said that Malkin is still being evaluated and will not play on Thursday. Head coach Mike Sullivan said that he hopes to have more information on Malkin in the next day or so, so it sounds like he could miss some time.
The Blue Jackets have placed Emil Bemstrom (lower-body) on IR.
Bemstrom was hurt in Wednesday's practice and was placed on IR on Thursday, meaning he'll miss at least seven days. Mikhail Grigorenko will replace him in the Blue Jackets' bottom-6.
Malkin is questionable to play Thursday due to a lower-body injury.
Malkin's injury comes on the heels of Teddy Blueger being sidelined "longer-term," so the Penguins centre depth will be put to the test if Malkin can't go Thursday. Luckily, Jared McCann, who is a natural centre but has played some wing this season, could be back in New Jersey.
Line Change
Jones will be back in the Oilers lineup on Friday.
Jones was a healthy scratch on Wednesday but will replace Kris Russell in the lineup on Friday. Jones has just one assist in 14 games so far this season.
Line Change
Jones will be a healthy scratch Wednesday vs. the Senators.
The Penguins have activated Sidney Crosby from the COVID-19 reserve list.
It appears as if Crosby will be available for Thursday's game vs. the Flyers after being activated from the COVID-19 reserve list. If he does play, expect him to center the top line with Jake Guentzel.
Crosby has been added to the COVID-19 reserve list and will not play on Tuesday.
The Penguins were forced to cancel Tuesday's morning skate due to COVID-19 protocols. Crosby was the only player added to the list, so expect him to be the only one missing tonight vs. the Flyers.
