Zegras scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Zegras has four goals and three assists over his last seven outings. The 24-year-old has found consistent top-six minutes lately and is making good use of them to stay productive as one of the Flyers' top forwards. He's at 11 goals, 28 points, 73 shots on net and 22 PIM through 29 appearances.

Eller (lower body) has been ruled out for the remainder of the Senators' road trip that concludes Monday in Winnipeg, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Eller suffered a lower-body injury during Thursday's game against the Blue Jackets, and head coach Travis Green said Friday that the 36-year-old will be out "a little while." It's not yet clear whether Eller will be available when the Senators return home Thursday against the Penguins.

Poehling notched a shorthanded assist in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Poehling had gone 10 games without a point, and he missed seven contests with an upper-body injury in that span. With the Ducks fully healthy at forward, Poehling's defensive skills are keeping him in action as a bottom-six center. He's at seven points, 21 shots on net, 27 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 24 outings.

Pageau notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

This was Pageau's second game back after missing eight with an upper-body injury. The 33-year-old has returned to a middle-six role, but he may be in line for more minutes if Bo Horvat (lower body) misses time after exiting Thursday's game. Pageau has produced 13 points, 26 shots on net, 36 hits, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 24 appearances.

Greig notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jackets.

Greig had gone without a point in his first five games after an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old is set to see a little more ice time while Shane Pinto (lower body) is out. Greig has contributed nine points, 43 shots, 31 hits, 22 PIM and 16 blocked shots over 25 outings.

Dellandrea will be a game-time call versus the Penguins on Saturday due to a lower-body injury, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Dellandrea's potential absence may not have a significant fantasy impact; he has just three points in his last 18 outings, but it will hurt the Sharks' penalty kill, where he is averaging 2:57 of ice time this season. With Ryan Reaves (upper body) also in doubt, San Jose may need to promote a player from the minors to fill out the lineup against Pittsburgh.

Rempe (upper body) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt versus Montreal, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports Friday.

Rempe has missed the last 23 games after he was hurt in a fight with Ryan Reaves on Oct. 23. Head coach Mike Sullivan wants Rempe to get in a few practices before going back in the lineup. Rempe has one goal, 30 hits and seven PIM in nine games this season.

Head coach John Hynes said Friday that Rossi (lower body) is considered day-to-day and could play Sunday against the Bruins, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Rossi has been on injured reserve since mid-November due to his lower-body injury, but he's progressing in his recovery and closing in on a return. Hynes' update Friday suggests that Rossi will miss at least one more game Saturday against the Senators, but the 24-year-old could be back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Over 17 appearances this year, he's recorded four goals, nine assists, 11 hits, eight blocked shots and two PIM while averaging 18:06 of ice time.

McCann is dealing with a lower-body injury that will sideline him for at least three weeks, the team announced Friday.

McCann was just six games back from a 17-game stint on the sidelines due to a lower-body injury. It's not immediately clear if this latest problem is related, but either way, the forward is likely headed for another stint on injured reserve. When healthy, McCann has been producing offensively with five goals and three assists, including two power-play points, in 11 outings.

Horvat (lower body) remains day-to-day and is not expected to be ready to face the Lightning on Saturday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

With Horvat out of the lineup, Mathew Barzal will move to the top line while Jean-Gabriel Pageau shifts back to center after playing wing the last few times out. For his part, the 30-year-old Horvat has been rolling of late, scoring five goals on 24 shots, including two with the man advantage, in his last seven outings.
