    Granlund has collected three goals, nine points and 21 shots on net through nine appearances this season. He will be replaced in Saturday's lineup by Jansen Harkins.

  • Ducks' Ryan Poehling: Out Saturday

    Poehling (upper body) won't play Saturday in Minnesota, per the NHL media site.

    Poehling has a goal and six points in 16 appearances this season. He also missed Thursday's 6-3 loss to Detroit due to the injury. His next opportunity to return will come Monday against Utah.

    Canucks' David Kampf: Inks one-year deal

    Kampf signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Vancouver on Saturday.

    Kampf had the final two seasons of his four-year, $9.6 million contract with the Maple Leafs mutually terminated Friday. The 30-year-old had one assist in four appearances with AHL Toronto in 2025-26 before becoming an unrestricted free agent. The Maple Leafs couldn't find a trade partner for him, but Kampf didn't have to wait long to sign a new deal. Kampf will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity for the Canucks, but he might spend some time practicing with Vancouver before drawing into the lineup.

  • Seth Jarvis C | CAR

    Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Game-time decision

    Jarvis (upper body) will be a game-time decision against Edmonton on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Jarvis left Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Vancouver after receiving a high stick around his eye. He has accounted for 10 goals, 16 points, 55 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 15 hits through 17 appearances this season. If Jarvis is unavailable to play against the Oilers, Bradly Nadeau could be in the lineup after being recalled from AHL Chicago on Saturday.

  • Hurricanes' Jesperi Kotkaniemi: Out Saturday

    Kotkaniemi (ankle) won't play Saturday versus Edmonton, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Kotkaniemi has two goals, five points, 17 shots, 28 hits and 11 blocks in 15 outings this year. His injury isn't believed to be a long-term issue, but his availability to play against Boston on Monday is unclear. Mark Jankowski will be in the lineup versus the Oilers on Saturday due to Kotkaniemi's absence.

  • Cody Glass C | NJ

    Devils' Cody Glass: Considered week-to-week

    Glass (upper body) is week-to-week, the team announced Saturday.

    Glass sustained the injury in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. He has earned three goals, 19 shots on net and five blocked shots in 10 appearances this season. With Glass and Jack Hughes (finger) out of the lineup, Nathan Legare and Shane Lachance will play against Washington on Saturday.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Unavailable Saturday

    Cirelli (upper body) won't play against Florida on Saturday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

    Cirelli will miss his third straight game, and it's unclear if he will be ready to return in Sunday's matchup versus Vancouver. He has earned seven goals, 11 points, 21 shots on net and 11 blocked shots through 14 outings this season. The Lightning will also be without forwards Dominic James (undisclosed), Brandon Hagel (undisclosed) and Pontus Holmberg (undisclosed), which will give recent call-ups Jakob Pelletier, Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin a chance to play against the Panthers.

  • Boone Jenner C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: On injured reserve

    Jenner (upper body) was put on injured reserve Saturday.

    Jenner's placement on IR is retroactive to Tuesday, which is when he was last in the lineup, but head coach Dean Evason cautioned Thursday that Jenner isn't out "short term," so it wouldn't be surprising if Jenner spends more than the minimum amount of time on IR. The 32-year-old forward has three goals, 10 points, 13 PIM, 30 hits and 13 blocks in 16 appearances this season. Luca Del Bel Belluz is seeing time on the top line due to Jenner's absence.

  • Kraken's Frederick Gaudreau: Removed from IR

    Gaudreau (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Sound of Hockey reports.

    Seattle moved Kaapo Kakko (lower body) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. Despite being deemed a game-time decision, Gadreau should return from a 13-game absence against San Jose on Saturday. He has registered one assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and two hits in four outings this season.

  • Jared McCann C | SEA

    Kraken's Jared McCann: Making progress

    McCann (lower body) participated in Saturday's morning skate and is making progress, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.

    McCann will miss his 13th straight game against San Jose on Saturday, but he could accompany the Kraken on the team's upcoming four-game road trip. However, it's unclear if he will return to action during that stretch. He has produced three goals, one assist, 14 shots on net, four blocked shots and seven hits in five appearances this season.
