Demko last played on December 1st due to a groin injury and will be a game-time decision Monday as Vancouver takes on Dallas. The 27-year-old was struggling before the injury, with his 3-10-2 record, 3.93 GAA and .883 SV%.
Brisebois had a goal, five assists, 11 PIMs and a +8 plus/minus through 36 games played with the Abbotsford Canucks (AHL) but was recalled by Vancouver for a second time Wednesday. The 25-year-old defenseman had an assist across three games previous with Vancouver this season.
DeBrusk had missed the Bruins' previous 17 games due to a leg injury but will return to the Bruins' lineup Saturday as they take on the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old was enjoying a fantastic breakout season prior to the injury, with his 16 goals, 14 assists, 109 SOG and +15 plus/minus through 36 games played.
Lankinen stopped 39 of 40 shots (.975 SV%) for his second-straight win as he beat the Columbus Blue Jackets' handily in his previous start. The 27-year-old Predators' backup has been having his best season to date, with his 5-4-1 record, 2.64 GAA and .924 SV%. He takes on the Arizona Coyotes, who are in the midst of trading star defenseman Jakob Chychrun and have lost their last two games after a 6-5 loss to St. Louis last game.
DeBrusk last played on January 2nd due to a hand injury but was a welcome full participant at Boston's practice Monday morning and is still doubtful to return to the lineup Tuesday vs. Dallas, but should be back Thursday. The 26-year-old had been enjoying somewhat of a breakout campaign, with his 16 goals and 30 points across 36 games prior to the injury.
Kravtsov last suited up for the Rangers on January 23rd as he was a healthy scratch but finds himself back in New York's lineup as they take on Seattle Friday. The 23-year-old has three goals, three assists, 26 SOG, six PIMs and a +5 plus/minus through 27 games played in his second NHL season.
Schenn has three goals, 15 assists, 67 SOG, 69 PIMs and is a +8 plus/minus through 51 games this season but will be a game-time decision as the Canucks take on the Islanders as he deals with an undisclosed injury.
Hronek has seven goals, 26 assists, 110 SOG, 26 PIMs and a +12 plus/minus through 48 games but will now be a game-time decision for Tuesday after leaving Red Wings' practice with an upper-body injury. It will be a tough loss if he is forced to miss time as the 25-year-old defenseman is easily on pace to crush his previous career-high in points of 38 achieved in 2021-22.
Lankinen allowed two goals on 32 shots in the Predators win in Washington on January 6th. Lankinen missed some time with an illness but will start for the first time in 11 days. The 27-year-old netminder will be making just his second start on home-ice this season, and comes in at 4-4-1 with a .918 SV% in 10 games this season. Tonight he'll face a Blue Jackets team that has lost 13 of their last 16 games (3-13-0) while scoring just 1.9 goals per game.
