"Like I said, we talked this morning and everybody needs to step up, for sure. We might have a couple of different younger guys in there tonight, but the team game is what it's all about for us. When you have injuries like this, we don't know if Matthews is playing tonight, we need a really strong team game tonight. The team game can get you through it."
"Joshua's still in Detroit. Whether he took a hit or went into the boards, it's his kidney. It's got blood and everything, so we need to see where he's at too."
William Nylander is day-to-day after suffering a lower-body injury before Sunday's game against the Detroit Red Wings. Auston Matthews left that game injured and is a game-time decision for the next matchup. Dakota Joshua remained in Detroit with a kidney injury that produced blood and requires further evaluation. Chris Tanev sustained a new lower-body injury that is unrelated to his recent return. Jacob Quillan was called up from the Toronto Marlies and may suit up; he brings notable speed and energy. The team intends to rely on a strong collective game and younger players stepping up while injuries are assessed.
