Helenius (undisclosed) is day-to-day and didn't participate in Sunday's practice, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

It's unclear if he will play against St. Louis on Wednesday. Still, Alex Turcotte and Taylor Ward could both be in the lineup regardless of Helenius' availability. The 23-year-old Helenius has registered four goals, eight points, 34 shots on net and 128 hits across 45 appearances this season.

Lohrei (upper body) won't play against Columbus on Sunday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Lohrei is day-to-day and logged only 11:47 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 win over Minnesota. He has seven goals, 25 points, 67 shots on net and 86 blocked shots across 68 appearances this season. Henri Jokiharju will replace Lohrei in Sunday's lineup versus the Blue Jackets.

Swayman will start Sunday's game against the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

For just the third time in his career, Swayman will get both starts of a back-to-back. He turned aside 31 of 34 shots Saturday against the Wild, and the Bruins will turn to him again ahead of Sunday's pivotal matchup with the Blue Jackets. The 27-year-old has a 29-15-4 record on the season with a 2.72 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Columbus has lost three of its last four games entering Sunday's contest, scoring a combined seven goals over that stretch.

Andersen will start Sunday's game in net against the Canadiens, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Andersen is coming off of a tough start his last time out, as he stopped just 14 of the 18 shots he faced against the same Canadiens team he is set to face Sunday. He has found success against the Canadiens throughout his career, with a 15-6-2 record against them. On the season overall, the 36-year-old is 13-12-5 with a 3.15 GAA and an .871 save percentage.

Voronkov (hand) is week-to-week, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports Sunday.

Voronkov sustained the injury in Saturday's 3-2 loss to San Jose, and it's unclear if he will return before the end of the 2025-26 regular season. He has generated 17 goals, 32 points, 110 shots on net, 105 hits and 59 PIM across 63 appearances this season.

Greaves will get the start in goal Sunday against the Bruins, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Greaves has lost two of his last three starts despite allowing just five goals combined over that stretch. The 24-year-old is 24-18-8 on the season with a 2.55 GAA and a .910 save percentage. Greaves didn't play in either of the prior two meetings with the Bruins this season, but he will start Sunday's contest against a hot Boston team that has won four of its last five games,

Knight will protect the road net against New Jersey on Sunday, per Vinnie Parise of The Hockey News.

Knight has gone 0-1-1 in his last two outings while allowing eight goals on 75 shots. He has posted a record of 18-20-10 this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.69 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 48 appearances. New Jersey sits 27th in the league with 2.71 goals per game this season.

Meier scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

Meier scored at 17:06 of the first period to open the scoring, only for the Hurricanes to net the next five tallies. This was Meier's third straight game with a goal, and he has five tallies and a helper over his last seven outings. The recent surge has him up to 22 goals, 37 points, 238 shots on net, 119 hits, 48 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 67 appearances this season.

Carrier's goal drought reached 20 games in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Carrier has just three assists to go with 21 shots on net and 50 hits in that span. The 31-year-old still remains the Hurricanes' preferred source of fourth-line toughness even after the team acquired Nicolas Deslauriers from the Flyers at the trade deadline. Carrier has produced 14 points, 71 shots on net, 148 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 61 outings this season, giving him minimal fantasy upside.

Blake scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

Blake has put together a decent March with four goals and five helpers over 13 contests. The 22-year-old winger continues to hold down a top-six role, and while he's not on the leading edge of the Hurricanes' offense, he contributes his fair share. He's up to 21 goals, 45 points, 155 shots on net and 38 PIM over 72 appearances this season.
