Detroit Red Wings forwards Gustav Nyquist and Darren Helm won't be in the lineup Monday against the Toronto Maple Leafs but could return for the Red Wings' preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.

Nyquist has a sore knee sustained on a hit in the final minute of a game Saturday against the Boston Bruins. Helm aggravated a groin injury and sustained a broken nose against the Penguins on Sept. 22 and hasn't played since.

New Jersey Devils forward Ryane Clowe, who has yet to play in the preseason, said Monday he plans on playing the final two games prior to the regular-season opener Oct. 9 against the Philadelphia Flyers, according to NJ.com.

Clowe, who sustained concussions on two occasions last season, including one March 31 against the Florida Panthers that ended his season, was cleared for contact at the beginning of training camp. However, he has taken his time in making sure he's game ready.

"I wanted to push myself in practice," he said, according to NJ.com.

NHL Live with Steve Mears and E.J. Hradek, at 5 p.m. ET on NHL Network, will feature previews of the Buffalo Sabres, Ottawa Senators and New Jersey Devils, as the 2014-15 regular season is one week from starting.

Devils coach Peter DeBoer and No. 1 goaltender Cory Schneider will call into the show to talk about New Jersey's goals in the Metropolitan Division.

Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby will not be in the lineup for a preseason game on Monday against the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota in order to attend his grandmother's funeral.

Crosby, who has yet to play a preseason game after missing a few days early in training camp with an unspecified injury, did skate with the team in the morning but was removed from the lineup to attend the funeral.

"He will not be going with us to Minnesota. He will be going back to Nova Scotia [Monday]," coach Mike Johnston said.

New York Islanders defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky left practice early Monday and is day-to-day with back spasms.

Visnovsky, who turned 38 in August, was limited to 24 games last season, missing more than half the season after sustaining a concussion in an October game against the Carolina Hurricanes. He had three goals and 11 points.

Visnovsky is a 13-season NHL veteran who has 123 goals and 475 points in 830 games with the Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers, Anaheim Ducks and Islanders.

The Dallas Stars on Sunday loaned goaltender Jack Campbell to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Texas Stars, as they reduced their training camp roster by 14 players.

Campbell, a first-round pick (No. 11) in the 2010 NHL Draft, made his NHL debut on Oct. 20, 2013 against the Anaheim Ducks, making 41 saves in a 6-3 loss. He was 12-2-2 with a 1.49 goals-against average and .942 save percentage in 16 appearances for Texas.

Sidney Crosby will make his preseason debut Monday night when the Pittsburgh Penguins visit the Minnesota Wild, the team said Sunday.

Crosby was scheduled to play his first preseason game Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, but he missed the home game to fly home to Nova Scotia after the death of his grandmother. He has been hampered during training camp by an undisclosed injury that the team said is unrelated to the wrist injury he suffered in March.

Forward Pascal Dupuis, who had season-ending knee surgery in February, is also scheduled to make his preseason debut against the Wild, according to the lineup posted on the team website.

David Pastrnak, the Boston Bruins' top pick in the 2014 NHL Draft, took part in practice on Sunday at TD Garden for the first time since injuring his shoulder on the second day of training camp.

Pastrnak was off the ice for four days following the injury. He started skating again last Wednesday.

"He skated with us, but he's not cleared yet for contract or anything like that so we've got to wait for him to be cleared," Bruins coach Claude Julien said following practice.

Forward Kevin Hayes, bidding to make the New York Rangers roster after signing as a free agent this summer, practiced at wing on Sunday, but he could find himself seeing more time at center as the result of injuries to veterans Matthew Lombardi and Ryan Malone.

"Being a versatile player can never hurt you," Hayes, who played plenty of wing at Boston College, where he spent the past four seasons, said according to the Rangers website. "Whether you're playing center or wing, you still go out there, try your hardest, try and show the coaches what I can bring to this team. Whether it's going to be on right wing, that's the case."

Forwards Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare all skated for the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday as they work to return from their injuries.

Couturier, who has been day-to-day with an upper-body injury, didn't rule himself out for Philadelphia's preseason game against the New Jersey Devils on Sunday night at Prudential Center.

"I feel pretty much back to normal," he said. "I don't know the lineup yet, so we'll see."
