  • Shane Wright C | SEA

    Kraken's Shane Wright: Exits Saturday's game

    Wright won't return to Saturday's game against Buffalo due to an undisclosed injury.

    Wright logged 3:36 of ice time before exiting the game. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 72 outings in 2025-26, including Saturday's action. If Wright can't play Tuesday versus Edmonton, then Jacob Melanson might draw back into the lineup.

  • Jared McCann C | SEA

    Kraken's Jared McCann: Good to play Saturday

    McCann (lower body) will play against Buffalo on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

    McCann is returning after missing three straight games. He has 18 goals and 36 points in 44 outings in 2025-26. Seattle had previously dressed seven defensemen, but the Kraken are shifting back to 12 forwards and six blueliners with McCann back in the lineup, which will result in Cale Fleury being a healthy scratch.

  • David Kampf C | WAS

    Capitals' David Kampf: Set to be scratched

    Kampf (not injury related) is expected to be a healthy scratch against Vegas on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

    According to Silber, Kampf joined the team on the road ahead of Thursday's 7-4 win over Utah. The 31-year-old Kampf hasn't played yet for the Capitals after being acquired from Vancouver on March 6.

  • Ethen Frank C | WAS

    Capitals' Ethen Frank: Remains out Saturday

    Frank (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against Vegas, per Capitals radio announcer John Walton.

    Frank is set to miss his third straight game. He has 12 goals and 24 points in 60 outings in 2025-26. Frank's next chance to return will come Tuesday versus Philadelphia.

  • Noah Ostlund C | BUF

    Sabres' Noah Ostlund: Not expected to play

    Ostlund (upper body) isn't expected to play against Seattle on Saturday, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

    Ostlund still needs additional time to recover from an injury he sustained in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston. He will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Ostlund has 11 goals, 27 points, 60 shots on net and 30 blocked shots in 60 NHL appearances this season.

  • Curtis Lazar C | EDM

    Oilers' Curtis Lazar: Activated from LTIR

    Lazar (undisclosed) has been activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Anaheim on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

    Following an 11-game absence, Lazar will occupy a spot on the fourth line against the Ducks on Saturday. He has contributed three goals, five points, 24 shots on net and 77 hits in 38 appearances this season.

  • Connor Zary C | CGY

    Flames' Connor Zary: Remains out Saturday

    Zary (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Vancouver.

    Zary has also missed Calgary's past three games. He has 11 goals and 24 points in 67 outings in 2025-26. Zary is still day-to-day, so his next opportunity to return will come Monday in Colorado.

  • Penguins' Sidney Crosby: Won't play Saturday

    Crosby (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Dallas on Saturday.

    Crosby is day-to-day and will miss at least one game after getting injured in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Ottawa. He has accumulated 28 goals, 64 points, 146 shots on net and 53 hits through 61 appearances this season.

  • Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Unavailable Saturday

    Malkin (upper body) won't play Saturday against Dallas.

    Malkin is set to miss his third consecutive game. Pittsburgh still considers Malkin to be day-to-day, so a return Monday versus the Islanders hasn't been ruled out. Malkin has 15 goals and 52 points in 50 outings in 2025-26.

  • Rangers' Juuso Parssinen: Heads to AHL

    Parssinen was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Saturday.

    Parssinen's reassignment comes after he was a healthy scratch in New York's past two games. He has two goals and three points in 20 games with the Rangers in 2025-26. He also has five goals and six points in 11 appearances with Hartford this season.
