Dickinson (hand) is expected to be in the Chicago lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Flyers, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Richard was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Auston Matthews C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Skates ahead of practice
Matthews (upper body) skated before Saturday's practice, Mark Masters of TSN reports.
Matthews had not been seen skating since Nov. 10, making this an encouraging development. He left before Saturday's practice started, which probably means he won't play in Sunday's tilt against Utah. Still, Matthews could suit up in Wednesday's matchup versus Florida. He has missed the last seven games. Matthews has five goals and 11 points in 13 contests this campaign.
