Silovs was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus the Senators.

Silovs will take the first game of the Penguins' back-to-back to continue an every-other-game trend in the crease. In his last nine appearances, the backstop has suffered just one regulation defeat, going 6-1-2 with a 2.50 GAA and .902 save percentage. With the upcoming Olympic break, Stuart Skinner may take the final two games before the break, especially with Silovs headed to Milan as part of the Latvian squad.

Monahan (illness) participated in Monday's practice, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Monahan should be available for Tuesday's matchup against New Jersey after leaving Saturday's 5-3 win over St. Louis. He has earned nine goals, 26 points, 80 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 27 hits through 50 appearances this campaign.

Drouin (illness) was back at practice ahead of Monday's matchup against Washington, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Drouin looks set to return to the lineup after missing out versus the Predators on Saturday due to an illness. The 30-year-old forward is currently mired in a 31-game goal drought, and he hasn't recorded a point over his last nine outings. Drouin's offensive struggles will likely see him miss the 40-point threshold for the second straight year.

Lundell (upper body) won't be in the lineup against Buffalo on Monday, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Lundell remains day-to-day and will miss his third straight game. He participated in Monday's morning skate in a non-contact jersey, making it unclear if he will be ready for Wednesday's home matchup against Boston. Lundell has contributed 15 goals, 36 points, 120 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 63 hits across 52 appearances this season.

Marchand (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Sabres, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Marchand sustained an undisclosed injury during Thursday's game against the Blues, and he'll be forced to miss a second consecutive matchup Monday. While a timetable for his return isn't yet clear, head coach Paul Maurice said after Monday's morning skate that there's a chance Marchand returns to action at some point this week. The 37-year-old's final two chances to suit up before the Olympic break will be Wednesday against Boston and Thursday against Tampa Bay.

Fehervary (personal) was on the ice ahead of Monday's game versus the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Fehervary should be back in the lineup to face New York after missing out versus Carolina on Saturday. With the blueliner back in action, Declan Chisholm will likely be dropped from the lineup, though Dylan McIlrath could also be in danger of being a healthy scratch.

Bobrovsky was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, George Richards of Florida Hockey Now reports, indicating that he'll draw the home start against the Sabres.

Bobrovsky has alternated starts with Daniil Tarasov over the past few weeks, but the former will draw a second consecutive start Monday for the first time since mid-January. Bobrovsky is in the midst of a cold spell in which he's gone 1-4-0 with a 4.00 GAA and .839 save percentage over his last five outings.

Stone recorded two assists in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Stone has cooled off following a 12-goal, 11-assist binge over 14 games from Dec. 29 to Jan. 23. He's earned just five helpers and seven shots over his last five outings. Even with the dip in production, Stone has an excellent 20 goals, 35 helpers, 88 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 39 appearances. Staying healthy will be the big challenge, but if he can, he could push to top the career-best 73 points he produced between Vegas and Ottawa in 77 regular-season games in 2018-19.

Barbashev scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Barbashev cut the deficit to 3-2 in the middle of the third period. The 30-year-old winger has scored in three straight games and looks to have his groove back after a month-long goal drought that briefly saw him bumped to the third line. He's at 15 goals, 38 points, 84 shots on net, 88 hits and a plus-10 rating across 55 appearances as a top-six regular for the Golden Knights.

Hertl scored a goal, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Hertl had picked up three assists during a five-game goal drought. He gave the Golden Knights a chance after cutting the deficit to one goal at 19:54 of the third period, but there wasn't enough time for an equalizer. Hertl continues to provide steady offense from a middle-six role. He's now at 22 goals, 48 points, 145 shots on net, 74 hits, 35 PIM, 27 blocked shots and a minus-7 rating over 55 appearances.
