Burroughs (lower body) will be back in the lineup Tuesday against Toronto, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Burroughs is slated to play alongside Calen Addison following a two-game absence. The 28-year-old Burroughs has produced four assists, 39 shots on goal, 73 blocked shots and 87 hits across 36 appearances this season.

Hagg was brought up from AHL San Diego on Tuesday.

Hagg has one goal, three assists and 16 PIM in 22 minor-league contests this season. He will probably serve as an extra defender for the Ducks in Tuesday's matchup versus Nashville.

Lindstrom was placed on waivers Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Lindstrom has three goals, one assist, 15 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and eight hits in 14 contests with the Canadiens this season. If he goes unclaimed, he could be ticketed to AHL Laval.

Jones (shoulder) still needs to practice, but coach Luke Richardson is hoping the defenseman will be ready to return to game action "within the week," Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Although Jones will miss a 14th straight game Tuesday against the Oilers, it sounds like he should be ready to return sooner rather than later. The 29-year-old American has picked up 11 helpers through 27 contests this campaign, a disappointing output compared to the 12 goals and 37 points he collected through 72 appearances in 2022-23.

Trouba was not in attendance for Tuesday's practice session due to personal reasons, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Trouba's absence shouldn't be an immediate red flag for fantasy players, as the Rangers won't return to action until Thursday's matchup with St. Louis. Still, the Michigan native appears to have rediscovered his offensive game of late, notching a goal and two assists in his last five contests. If Trouba were to miss any time, Zac Jones would likely find himself back in the lineup.

Crevier will be sent back to the minors Tuesday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Crevier's demotion will open up a spot on the 23-man roster for both Taylor Raddysh (groin) and Joey Anderson (shoulder) to be activated off injured reserve. With Isaak Phillips seemingly ahead of him on the team's depth chart, the 22-year-old Crevier figures to be a long shot to return to Chicago any time soon, especially once Seth Jones (shoulder) is cleared to play.

Pelech (upper body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

In a corresponding move, Semyon Varlamov (lower body) was put on injured reserve. Pelech appears to be ready to return from a 20-game absence Tuesday versus Vancouver. He has three assists, 17 PIM, 16 shots on goal, 28 blocked shots and 15 hits across 16 outings this season. Pelech is projected to replace Samuel Bolduc in the lineup.

Gilbert (upper body) is not expected to play Tuesday against Ottawa, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Gilbert will miss his third consecutive contest. He has accounted for seven points, 22 shots on goal, 43 blocked shots and 44 hits in 28 games this season. Yan Kuznetsov will suit up in Tuesday's contest instead.

Kuznetsov was recalled from AHL Calgary on Tuesday.

Kuznetsov's demotion to the minors appears to have been nothing more than a paper transaction with the blueliner set to make his NHL debut against Ottawa on Tuesday, per Wes Gilbertson of the Calgary Sun. In the minors this season, the 21-year-old defenseman has generated two goals and five helpers in 31 contests, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on an offensive outburst from the youngster.

Faulk (lower body) has resumed skating, but he won't play Tuesday against the Panthers, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Faulk will miss a fourth straight contest with his lower-body issue. Another update on the veteran defender, who's collected 17 points through 35 games this season, should surface once he's poised to rejoin the lineup.
