Stankoven (undisclosed) will be scratched for Saturday's game against Utah.

Despite his official designation being undisclosed, Stankoven is probably getting a game off ahead of the playoffs. He has 21 goals and 42 points in 79 outings in 2025-26.

Jarvis (undisclosed) will play Saturday versus Utah, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Jarvis is set to skate alongside Sebastian Aho (undisclosed) and Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) on the top line Saturday. All three of those forwards missed Thursday's game against Chicago, likely for roster-management reasons. Carolina is focused on resting veterans ahead of the playoffs.

Coleman (personal) will play in Saturday's road clash against the Kraken, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Coleman will return to the lineup after missing Thursday's 3-1 loss to Colorado for the birth of his son. The 34-year-old Coleman has 19 goals, 33 points, 166 shots on net, 148 hits and 44 blocked shots across 65 games this season. He'll likely return to the Flames' top line for Saturday's clash and holds solid streaming value against Seattle's Niklas Kokko, who is making his first NHL start.

Eriksson Ek (rest) will not play in Saturday's road clash against the Predators, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

With the Wild already having punched their ticket to the playoffs, Eriksson Ek will rest Saturday. The 29-year-old center has been hot as of late offensively with seven points over his last six games. Overall, he has 19 goals, 32 assists, 194 shots on net, 106 hits and 34 blocked shots through 70 games this season. He'll likely return to action for Minnesota's next tune-up game Monday against the Blues.

Appleton (upper body) is set to miss Saturday's game against New Jersey, per Red Wings in-game host Kara Wolfbauer.

Appleton hasn't been in the lineup since April 2. He has six goals, 14 points, 44 PIM and 89 hits in 65 outings in 2025-26. If Appleton returns before the end of the regular season, he'll be in the mix to serve in a middle-six capacity.

Ostlund (upper body) likely won't play before the end of the regular season, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com on Saturday.

Ostlund has already sat out the last eight games. However, head coach Lindy Ruff is hopeful that the 22-year-old forward will be an option in the playoffs. Ostlund has 11 goals, 27 points, 60 shots on net and 30 blocked shots in 60 appearances this season.

Rooney was assigned to AHL Tucson on Saturday.

Rooney has been a healthy scratch for the Mammoth in three straight games. He scored a goal against Dallas on Nov. 28, but he hasn't logged any NHL playing time since then. Rooney has 12 goals and 23 points in 43 AHL appearances this season.

Dewar (lower body) is week-to-week, the team announced Saturday.

Dewar will miss his second straight game against Washington on Saturday and won't be an option for the remainder of the regular season. He has earned 14 goals, 30 points, 110 shots on net and 144 hits across 78 appearances in 2025-26.

Malkin (upper body) won't play versus Washington on Saturday.

Malkin is having a stellar season with 19 goals and 61 points across 55 games, the first regular season since 2022-23 that he has averaged better than a point a game. Malkin could return as early as Sunday in Washington, but the Penguins could hold him out until the start of the playoffs, which begin April 18.

Kindel (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus Washington on Saturday.

Kindel is without a point in his last five games. The 18-year-old rookie has 17 goals and 17 assists in 76 games this season, after he was selected 11th overall in the 2025 Draft. Kindel could return as early as Sunday in a rematch in Washington.
