Broberg notched an assist and five blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Jets.

Broberg has two helpers over his last six contests following his four-point effort against Montreal on March 25. The 23-year-old defenseman continues to handle top-four minutes for the Blues as he has for much of the campaign. Overall, he's produced eight goals, 21 assists, 95 shots on net, 96 blocks and a plus-20 rating through 66 appearances.

McDonagh notched an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

McDonagh has a goal and six assists over his last seven contests. The 35-year-old defenseman has had an impressive campaign, getting back to the 30-point mark for the second year in a row and the eighth time in his career. He's racked up three goals, 27 helpers, 72 shots on net, 149 blocked shots and a league-leading plus-42 rating over 77 appearances.

Martinez (hip) will not be available for Tuesday's road matchup against Pittsburgh, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Martinez will remain sidelined for an eighth consecutive game Tuesday, and his timeline for a return to the lineup is still unclear. The veteran defenseman will turn his attention to attempting to be ready for Thursday's matchup against Boston. Martinez has provided five goals and 12 points across 43 appearances in 2024-25.

Savard (undisclosed) is slated to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Detroit, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Savard didn't participate in Tuesday's optional morning skate but could return from a one-game absence. He has collected one goal, 15 points, 47 shots on net, 173 blocked shots and 54 hits across 70 appearances this season. If Savard is back, Arber Xhekaj could be a healthy scratch versus the Red Wings.

Kulikov (upper body) is slated to return to the lineup later this week, according to Colby Guy of The Palm Beach Post on Tuesday.

Head coach Paul Maurice said Saturday that Kulikov could return April 12 versus Buffalo, which seemingly lines up with Tuesday's report. The 34-year-old defenseman has been out of action since March 16 as a result of his upper-body injury. Kulikov has contributed four goals and 13 points across 68 appearances in 2024-25.

Forsling (rest) will be available for Tuesday's divisional matchup versus the Maple Leafs, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Forsling received a maintenance day against Detroit on Sunday, but he'll return to the lineup for a heavyweight divisional matchup Tuesday. The left-shot blueliner has accounted for 10 goals, 17 helpers and a plus-31 rating over 76 appearances in 2024-25. Forsling will slot back in on the second pairing, likely alongside Nate Schmidt.

Evans will miss Monday's game versus the Kings due to an illness, per Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network.

Cale Fleury will rejoin the lineup as a result of Evans' absence. Monday's game is the first half of a back-to-back for Seattle, so Evans might be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Utah.

Edmundson is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not be an option for Monday's home game versus the Kraken.

Edmundson logged 20:45 of ice time in Saturday's 3-0 win over Edmonton, right around his usual allotment of playing time, so it's unclear when he picked up the injury. Drew Doughty (ankle) also isn't suiting up Monday, so Jacob Moverare and Kyle Burroughs will draw back into the lineup and comprise Los Angeles' third pairing.

Doughty (ankle) will not play Monday versus the Kraken, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

The Kings are already a lock for the playoffs, so they'll give Doughty a maintenance day Monday against an inferior opponent. His absence comes at an unfortunate time for fantasy managers, though, as Doughty generated a goal and four assists over his last four games. Brandt Clarke might quarterback the No. 1 power-play unit against Seattle in place of Doughty. Los Angeles' next game is Thursday versus Anaheim.

Miller (illness) will not suit up Monday against St. Louis, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Haydn Fleury will draw into the lineup in Miller's stead versus the Blues. The 32-year-old Miller will look to return to game action Thursday in a heavyweight matchup against the Stars.
