Chytil (upper body) did not suffer a concussion and will join the Rangers in Calgary, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

While Chytil won't be in action versus Vancouver on Tuesday, it seems he could still be in contention to play against the Flames on Thursday. Before suffering his upper-body injury, he was stuck in a six-game goal drought during which he notched two assists, 12 shots and two hits. If Chytil does play Thursday, it will likely mean Jonny Brodzinski is once again relegated to a spot in the press box.

Point (lower body) will be back in the lineup versus the Penguins on Tuesday, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Point will retake his spot on the Bolts' first line alongside Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel. In addition, the 28-year-old Point will link up with the same duo on the No. 1 power-play unit. The center will look to pick up where he left off, having racked up seven points, including two power-play goals, in his last five outings.

Gregor (undisclosed) will remain on the shelf versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.

Gregor will be sidelined for his second straight contest due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 26-year-old center wasn't offering the team much offensively with just one point in his prior seven outings. During that stretch, the Alberta native chipped in 12 hits, 10 shots and four blocks while averaging 12:29. Given his limited offensive upside, Gregor's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players.

Jarvis (upper body) was sporting a non-contact sweater at Tuesday's practice, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

While it seems Jarvis hasn't been cleared for contact yet, the fact that he is on the ice would seem to indicate he'll at least be traveling with the team for the Canes' upcoming three-game road trip. With a back-to-back to start the trip, it seems unlikely the winger will play in Thursday's matchup with New Jersey if he isn't cleared in time to face the Flyers on Wednesday -- though he hasn't been officially ruled out for either contest.

Goncalves was called up from AHL Syracuse on Tuesday.

Goncalves has appeared in four games for the Lightning this season in which he recorded four hits, three shots and one block while being held off the scoresheet. While Brayden Point (lower body) seemed to be trending toward playing against the Penguins on Tuesday, the decision to bring up Goncalves casts doubt on Point's availability.

Gregor took the ice Tuesday in a non-contact sweater, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports, raising doubts regarding his availability versus Edmonton.

Gregor was out of the lineup versus Carolina on Saturday and appears to be dealing with an injury rather than being a healthy scratch. At this point, if he's not cleared for contact, Gregor almost certainly won't be an option against Edmonton, though he hasn't been officially ruled out yet.

Minten was recalled from AHL Toronto on Tuesday.

Minten's promotion comes as David Kampf (lower body) was placed on injured reserve in a corresponding move. With Auston Matthews (upper body) and Calle Jarnkrok (groin) already on IR, the Leafs find themselves rather thin in terms of experienced center depth. The 20-year-old Minten figures to slot into a bottom-six role for at least Wednesday's matchup with Vegas. In the minors this season, the Vancouver native is putting up solid numbers with two goals and two assists in five outings.

Kampf was designated for injured reserve Tuesday with a lower-body injury retroactive to Nov. 16.

Kampf played 14:22 of ice time in that Nov. 16 matchup with Edmonton, which is actually above his season average (12:18), so it's not immediately clear when he got hurt. Technically, the 29-year-old winger will only have to miss one game -- Wednesday's matchup with Vegas -- before he can be activated, though it could be longer once the team provides a more concrete update.

Mittelstadt scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 victory over the Flyers.

After helping to set up one of Cale Makar's two goals in the second period, Mittelstadt gave the Avs a 3-0 lead in the third by banging home the rebound on a Mikko Rantanen shot. The tally snapped an eight-game goal drought for Mittelstadt, but the 25-year-old center is still on pace for a career-best campaign, piling up seven goals and 18 points through 19 contests.

Monahan notched two assists in Monday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

The veteran center rounded out his line with a game-high six shots on net, two hits, 10 faceoff wins and a plus-2 rating. Monahan has had a strong start to his Columbus tenure, recording six goals and 15 points in 18 contests and sitting second on the team in scoring behind Kirill Marchenko's 16 points.
