Analysis:

Gagner exited Monday's game early with an upper-body injury, and it appears it's serious enough to cost him at least a week. Colin McDonald will draw into the lineup in his place Wednesday, and that could continue to be the case until Gagner returns. It seems likely the soonest Gagner could rejoin the lineup would be next Tuesday against the Senators, but his status should be updated at some point as it nears.
