NHL Player News

Daccord will start in goal on the road versus the Wild on Tuesday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Daccord could be the Kraken's primary starter down the stretch after Philipp Grubauer (lower body) was injured Monday versus the Jets. The Kraken also have Matt Murray on the roster. Daccord is winless in his last five outings, allowing 18 goals on 121 shots in that span, so he is a risky option in this tough matchup.

Cirelli (undisclosed) will miss Tuesday's road contest against the Senators, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

Cirelli is set to miss his second consecutive game due to an undisclosed injury. Overall, the 28-year-old center has 52 points, 121 shots on net, 47 hits and 43 blocked shots through 68 games this season. It's unclear whether Cirelli will be kept out of the lineup for an extended period of time, but his status at the team's upcoming morning skates could provide more information. His next chance to return to Tampa Bay's lineup is Thursday against the Canadiens.

Veleno (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Panthers, Marc Antoine Godin of Radio Canada reports.

Veleno had played in nine of the last 10 games, exclusively in a bottom-six role. This is his second illness in as many months, but the 26-year-old should be back in the mix soon. He's day-to-day ahead of Thursday's game versus the Lightning.

Faulk (lower body) will return to the lineup against Columbus on Tuesday, according to Ansar Khan of MLive.com.

Following a two-game absence, Faulk will replace Jacob Bernard-Docker in Tuesday's lineup. The 34-year-old Faulk has compiled 12 goals, 35 points, 131 shots on net, 125 blocked shots and 66 hits in 73 games this season between Detroit and St. Louis.

Hagel (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Senators, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

Hagel's absence will reach four games. The 27-year-old winger's status beyond Tuesday hasn't been announced yet. The Lightning have numerous injuries up front, but they will likely remain cautious through the end of the regular season, so it's unclear if Hagel will be cleared for Thursday versus the Canadiens.

Johansson will draw the road start in Tuesday's clash against the Senators, per Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.

Johansson will look to start a win streak in Tuesday's contest after picking up a victory in his last appearance against Nashville on March 29. Overall, the 30-year-old netminder has an 11-9-2 record, a 3.21 GAA and an .886 save percentage across 24 appearances this season. He'll face off against the Senators, who should pose a decent challenge with the league's eighth-best 3.31 goals per game this season.

Wood (illness) is expected to play against Detroit on Tuesday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Despite being absent from Tuesday's morning skate, Wood will play against the Red Wings. He has registered eight goals, 14 points, 65 shots on net and 60 hits across 49 appearances this season.

Markstrom will guard the home goal versus the Flyers on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Markstrom is coming off an 18-save shutout win over the Canadiens on Sunday. The 36-year-old netminder has won four of his last six games despite posting an .878 save percentage in that span. The Flyers have scored 19 goals over their last six games.

Grubauer (lower body) will miss Tuesday's road matchup against the Wild, per Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Head coach Lane Lambert noted that Grubauer's timeline to return is undetermined after he sustained his lower-body injury midway through Monday's contest. Overall, Grubauer has a 13-12-4 record, a 2.65 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 32 appearances this season. The 34-year-old netminder had begun to draw the majority of starts during Seattle's late playoff push, so the team will likely pivot to Joey Daccord in his absence.

Gibson was recalled from AHL Hershey on Tuesday.

Gibson has a 9-8-3 record with a 2.79 GAA and a .907 save percentage in 22 AHL appearances this season. According to Tom Gulitti of NHL.com, Charlie Lindgren skipped Tuesday's practice for maintenance and will undergo further evaluation ahead of Wednesday's road matchup against Toronto. If Lindgren is unavailable, Gibson could serve as Logan Thompson's backup versus the Maple Leafs.
