First off, defender Jeff Petry was added to the injured reserve, following a lower-body injury which kept him out of action versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. There's no word on his recovery timeline. Odds are Greg Pateryn will slot into the lineup during his absence.
The good news is that both Paul Byron and Lucas Lessio appear to be nearing a return.

On an encouraging note, it appears as if Michel Therrien is ready to trust Sven Andrighetto in a scoring role, which is really the only way to use a player with his skill.
