Pittsburgh Penguins
Goaltender Matt Murray has been diagnosed with a concussion and will not practice Tuesday. The team said head coach Mike Sullivan would update Murray's status after practice.
TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie reports the injury was sustained during Monday's practice.
The 24-year-old is off to a 1-1 start to the season with an .831 save percentage and a 5.45 goals-against average. He allowed five goals on 29 shots against the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night.
Murray posted a 27-16-3 record last season with a .907 save percentage and a 2.92 GAA.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Winger Andreas Johnsson skated as an extra in Tuesday's practice and it appears Frederik Gauthier will dress for the first time this season in his place.
Par Lindholm, who had been serving as the fourth-line centre, moved to the wing on the third line, while Gauthier centred the fourth line with Josh Leivo and Tyler Ennis on Tuesday morning.
Igor Ozhiganov paired with Travis Dermott in the morning skate after sitting out Sunday's overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks in favour of Martin Marincin.

Carolina Hurricanes
After leaving the ice first in practice Tuesday, it appears Curtis McElhinney will make his second start for the Carolina Hurricanes tonight against the Vancouver Canucks. McElhinney, claimed on waivers last week from the Toronto Maple Leafs, stopped 31 of 32 shots in a 3-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets last Friday.
Haydn Fleury spent Tuesday's skate paired with Brett Pesce in the team's third grouping, suggesting he'll suit up for the first time this season while Trevor van Riemsdyk skated as an extra. - Chip Alexander.
Montreal Canadiens
Carey Price practised separately from the main group while working with goaltending coach Stephane Waite on Tuesday. TSN's John Lu points out the move was unusual because Price normally does extra work before practices. He was also wearing all red gloves and pads, which is contrary to his white gear for games.
