Hayton (illness) will draw back into the lineup Saturday in St. Louis.

After missing Friday's 4-3 loss to Dallas, Hayton will occupy a fourth-line role alongside Kevin Stenlund and Brandon Tanev versus the Blues. Hayton has three goals and five points in 22 outings this season.

Miller scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

Miller was at the left post, and Adam Fox passed him the puck, which went off his skate and in. Early in the month, Miller had been mired in a deep slump (eight games; one goal, one assist). However, Miller has five points, including three goals, in his last five games. The four shots in his last five games stand out in a bad way, though -- he needs to get a lot more pucks on net to help lift his team into a postseason spot.

Suter (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Mammoth, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Suter is dealing with some muscle-related issues, and he'll sit out at least one game. Nick Bjugstad will take his place in the lineup, while Oskar Sundqvist will likely get a small bump in ice time. Suter can be considered day-to-day ahead of Monday's contest versus the Ducks.

Marchessault (lower body) is expected to miss Saturday's game against Winnipeg, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Marchessault was also on the shelf for Nashville's 4-3 win over Chicago on Friday. He has four goals and seven points in 20 appearances in 2025-26. Tyson Jost is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday due to Marchessault's continued absence.

Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Saturday.

Ivan logged one assist over three games during this stint in the NHL. The 23-year-old forward will report back to the Eagles for now, but he should be in the mix for call-ups later.

Zacha (upper body) is expected to play Saturday versus the Red Wings, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

Zacha missed Friday's game against the Rangers, but it appears that will be the extent of his absence. The 28-year-old will slot back onto the second line and should also see power-play time.

Paul scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

It was a bit of a gimme after he camped in the slot. Nikita Kucherov, who was below the goal line on the right side, found Paul's tape, leading to an easy redirect. Paul is on a three-game, three-point scoring streak while compiling one goal, two assists and six shots.

Haight was reassigned to AHL Iowa on Saturday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

The Wild activated Vladimir Tarasenko (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Haight hasn't earned a point in two appearances with Minnesota in 2025-26, but he has four goals and five points in 13 outings with Iowa this campaign. 

Olivier (upper body) doesn't have a timeline for his return to the lineup, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic on Saturday.

Portzline believes Olivier is probably week-to-week, but Columbus hasn't announced that yet. The 28-year-old Olivier has missed the last two games and hasn't been skating. He has registered three goals, nine points, 29 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 71 hits and 44 PIM across 23 appearances this season.

Robidas was loaned to AHL Chicago on Saturday.

Robidas has one assist, two shots on goal, one blocked shot and three hits in two NHL appearances this season. His demotion to the minors probably bodes well for the availability of Jordan Staal (illness) for Sunday's matchup against Calgary, especially after Staal participated in Saturday's practice.
