Matinpalo (undisclosed) is projected to return to the lineup against the Kings on Monday.
Scouting Report
National Hockey League squads are in constant search of players that fit his profile: big, right-shooting defensemen who can do a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, he lacks high-end talent and scoring chops. He is the type of player who can fill any number of roles on a hockey team, but lacks a dominant skill.
Long Range Potential: Big depth defenseman.
