Walman (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Columbus.

Simon Edvinsson is expected to remain in the lineup versus the Blue Jackets due to Walman's absence. Walman's collected 12 goals, 21 points and 150 blocks through 61 contests this year.

Marino (upper body) won't play Tuesday against Pittsburgh, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

The Devils have yet to release an expected timetable for Marino's recovery, but he'll miss at least one game due to his upper-body injury. Santeri Hatakka will likely slot into the lineup versus the Penguins due to Marino's absence.

Edvinsson was elevated from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

Edvinsson's promotion could be an indication that there is an injury on the blue line ahead of Tuesday's clash with Columbus. While the 20-year-old blueliner has appeared in just two NHL games this season, he has been thriving in the minors with eight goals and 21 assists in 52 games for the Griffins.

Pachal posted an assist, two blocked shots and four PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Pachal set up a Kevin Rooney tally in the second period. While Pachal has been limited to third-pairing minutes, he's been in the lineup regularly over the likes of Dennis Gilbert and Nikita Okhotyuk over the last couple of weeks. Pachal has four points, 36 shots on net, 102 hits, 49 blocked shots, 43 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 36 appearances between the Flames and the Golden Knights this season.

Weegar scored a goal on six shots, blocked five shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Weegar pulled a goal back for the Flames in the third period, but a comeback push never materialized. The 30-year-old defenseman hadn't scored a goal since his Feb. 10 hat trick versus the Islanders, but he had a solid seven helpers over 15 games between goals. He's up to 16 tallies, 40 points, 173 shots on net, 166 blocked shots, 161 hits, 45 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 68 appearances. Weegar's still got a good shot to top his career high of 44 points from 2021-22.

Dumoulin notched an assist in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

Dumoulin snapped a 10-game point drought with his helper on Jordan Eberle's first-period tally. The 32-year-old Dumoulin has filled in on the top pairing while Vince Dunn (upper body) is out of the lineup. Dumoulin has 13 points, 55 shots on net, 61 hits, 66 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 65 appearances, doing little to earn fantasy interest in most formats.

Schultz notched a power-play assist and went minus-3 in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Sabres.

Schultz has two points over eight games in March, matching his production from seven outings in February. The 33-year-old defenseman has seen steady power-play time this month while Vince Dunn (upper body) is sidelined. Schultz has 20 points (six on the power play), 78 shots on net, 58 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 57 appearances this season, playing mainly in a third-pairing role.

Bryson notched an assist, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

Bryson has picked up three points over nine contests in March. The 26-year-old continues to see steady playing time in a third-pairing role -- he has played regularly since Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) was ruled out for the season and Erik Johnson was traded to the Flyers. Bryson has six points, 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 23 outings overall.

Power scored a goal on two shots, blocked five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.

A John-Jason Peterka shot pinged off the post after multiple deflections, and Power was there to pot the rebound midway through the second period. The 21-year-old Power has three goals and four assists over nine outings in March. The arrival of Bowen Byram via trade has cut into Power's playing time a bit, but the Sabres have found room for all three of their strong young defensemen. Power has six goals, 27 points, 90 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 63 contests this season.

Hatakka was recalled from AHL Utica on Monday, per CapFriendly.

Hatakka has recorded two assists over nine NHL appearances this season. The 23-year-old could get back in the lineup Tuesday against the Penguins.
