Pietrangelo has missed four games after being hit in the head with a puck. When he returns, Kaedan Korczak figures to exit the lineup. Even if Pietrangelo can log a full practice, he should probably be considered questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Flyers.

While he opened the year in a backup role, Thompson could eventually work his way into a timeshare with Adin Hill in Vegas.
