Lafferty (illness) will be a healthy scratch Saturday against the Bruins, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Lafferty missed Thursday's 3-1 loss to Calgary due to a flu bug that has been making its way through the Chicago dressing room, but he was back on the ice for Saturday's morning skate. He has one goal and one assist in 17 appearances this season.

Jankowski scored the game-winning goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 9-1 rout of the Panthers.

It was the bottom-six center's first multi-point performance of the season, and his helper on a third-period goal by Taylor Hall was his first power-play point of 2025-26. Jankowski hasn't produced more than 17 points in a campaign since 2018-19 with the Flames, but he's quietly picked up four goals and 10 points through 36 games this season.

Norris (ribs) has been ruled out of Saturday's clash versus Minnesota, according to Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.

Norris took a cross-check to his ribs Wednesday against the Flyers and will miss his second straight game due to the injury. The talented, but injury-prone center, has six goals and 17 points in 19 games this season. He could return as early as Monday in Carolina.

Byfield scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Byfield has four goals and three assists over nine outings in January. The 23-year-old center is up to nine goals, 28 points, 103 shots on net, 32 hits, 25 blocked shots, 22 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 46 appearances. Byfield continues to handle top-six minutes and should be able to improve his scoring numbers, as he's shooting just 8.7 percent so far in 2025-26.

Washe scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.

This was Washe's first NHL goal, and it came in his sixth game. Four of those appearances have been in 2025-26, where he has one shot on net, seven hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. The 24-year-old has a chance to carve out a bottom-six job while Leo Carlsson (thigh) is out of NHL action through the Olympic break.

Strome scored a goal in Friday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.

Strome ended a nine-game point drought with the goal. He was scratched three times in that span, but he likely won't head back to the press box since Troy Terry (upper body) and Leo Carlsson (thigh) are out of action. Strome now has three goals, seven points, 30 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 26 appearances. He's in the fourth year of a five-year contract at a $5 million cap hit, though the Ducks may look for a suitor in a trade since Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier are likely poised for big raises as restricted free agents this summer.

Necas scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots and went minus-2 in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators.

Necas has three goals and two assists over his last four contests. His tally Friday got the Avalanche back within a goal early in the third period, but they couldn't tie the game. The 27-year-old is up to 22 goals, 58 points, 107 shots on net, 48 hits, 26 PIM, 17 blocked shots and a plus-39 rating over 46 appearances. Necas is well on his way to a career year, though he could regress a bit from his 20.6 shooting percentage.

Nelson scored two goals on four shots, blocked two shots and went minus-3 in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Predators.

Nelson provided the answers to the first two of Ryan O'Reilly's goals, but the Avalanche couldn't keep pace after the first period. The 34-year-old Nelson is in the midst of a sizzling stretch, where he has 11 goals and seven assists over 12 contests. For the season, he's up to 24 goals, 40 points, 102 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 46 appearances.

Stamkos scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

Stamkos has scored in three straight contests to shake off his recent five-game goal drought. The 35-year-old forward has five points during his current streak, and he's up to 21 goals, 12 helpers, 112 shots on net, 45 hits, 22 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 47 appearances. While he's not pushing for a point-per-game pace, Stamkos has looked much more like his younger self over the last couple of months.

O'Reilly scored three goals on six shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-4 in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

O'Reilly gave the Predators a lead with each of his goals, and they made it stick after the third one. This was his first multi-point effort since Dec. 29 against the Mammoth, and his first multi-goal game since Oct. 25 versus the Kings. The veteran center has been steady this season with 16 goals, 43 points (10 on the power play), 85 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 47 appearances.
