After skating much of the season with Matt Moulson on the left wing, the New York Islanders' top line, featuring captain John Tavares and right wing Kyle Okposo, could be getting a slight makeover for their game Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres.

During the team's morning skate, Tavares and Okposo matched up with Michael Grabner, who leads the team through five games with five assists, seven points and a plus-5 rating. Considered among the fastest skaters in the League, Grabner is a definite departure from Moulson, who has flanked Tavares for much of the star center's career.

After contributing three straight 30-goal seasons by parking himself in front of the opposition's crease, Moulson is off to a slow start to the 2013-14 season, with one goal and no assists in five games. Grabner, on the other hand, is off to a fantastic start and using his speed in a way that Islanders coach Jack Capuano thinks could benefit his top line.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Marian Gaborik is expected to be in the lineup for the team's game at the Detroit Red Wings, according to the team's website.

Gaborik sat out practice Monday with the flu and missed the team's flight to Detroit later that day.

But the Blue Jackets now report that their leading scorer is expected to board a flight Tuesday and join the team in Detroit before the game.

In four games this season, the 31-year-old leads the team in assists (four) and points (six), and is tied for the team lead with two goals.

Columbus went 4-0-1 last season against Detroit and hasn't lost at Joe Louis Arena since March 26, 2012.

Anaheim Ducks prospect Stefan Noesen, who was acquired in the trade that sent Bobby Ryan to the Ottawa Senators this summer, has suffered a torn ACL and MCL and is out for the season, the Ducks announced Monday night.

The 20-year-old right wing had just begun his professional career with the Norfolk Admirals in the American Hockey League. He appeared in two games and had four penalty minutes.

The Anaheim Ducks recalled right wing Devante Smith-Pelly from the Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League on Monday.

Smith-Pelly, 21, appeared in four games for Norfolk this season and scored two goals with a plus-2 rating. He played in six preseason games for the Ducks and had three points with eight penalty minutes.

The daughter of former NHL player Tom Lysiak has created a special dish for each division in the League. Use #NHLDivisionMeals to guess what Jessie will make and tune in to the NHL Network on Tuesday from 5-7 p.m. ET to find out which four dishes she's come up with.

The Carolina Hurricanes placed goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve Monday with a lower-body injury and recalled goalie Justin Peters from the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL) on an emergency basis.

Khudobin was injured after taking an awkward spill in the Hurricanes' 5-3 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes on Sunday at PNC Arena.

Jonas Gustavsson is in goal Monday for the Detroit Red Wings against the Boston Bruins, making his season debut in place of Jimmy Howard.

According to MLive.com, Howard injured his hand making a save during the Red Wings' 5-2 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Gustavsson sustained a groin injury late in training camp that kept him out until Oct. 11, when he was activated off injured reserve.

Nail Yakupov, the first pick of the 2012 NHL Draft, will be a healthy scratch for the second straight game, Edmonton Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said Monday, ahead of his team's game against the Washington Capitals.

"I really liked our group of forwards last game," Eakins told reporters in Washington. "There was absolutely nobody there that deserves to come out. So we'll stick with the same group and that's the challenge of the player. Not just for [Yakupov], for all of our guys. It's such a privilege to play in this League and you want to give everything you have every night so you never end up like Wally Pipp."

Pipp was a first baseman for the New York Yankees who famously missed a game and was replaced by Lou Gehrig in the starting lineup. Gehrig went on to set a record for consecutive games played.

The Minnesota Wild on Monday recalled goaltender Darcy Kuemper from Iowa of the American Hockey League for the second time in the past four days.

With No. 1 goalie Niklas Backstrom ailing due to a knee strain, Kuemper was recalled Oct. 10 and served as Josh Harding's backup in a 5-1 defeat of the Dallas Stars on Saturday.

Kuemper was then returned to Iowa, but with Backstrom apparently still not ready to dress for the Wild's game Monday against the Buffalo Sabres, the 23-year-old is back again. He was 1-2-0 with a 2.08 goals-against average and .916 save percentage in six games last season.

Jhonas Enroth was the first Buffalo Sabres goaltender off the ice during the team's morning skate, making it likely he will start for the team Monday against the Minnesota Wild (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN2).

In two games this season Enroth is 0-1-1 with a 2.95 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.

The decision to play Enroth Monday likely means Ryan Miller will start Tuesday at the New York Islanders.
