  • Predators' Jonathan Marchessault: Remains out Saturday

    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 Ivan C | BOS

    Avalanche's Ivan Ivan: Sent down after game

    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.

  • Pavel Zacha C | BOS

    Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Slated to play

    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.

  • Nick Paul LW | TOR

    Lightning's Nick Paul: Three-game, three-point streak

    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.

  • Wild's Hunter Haight: Returns to minors

    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. 

  • Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: No timeline for return

    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.

  • Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Dropped to AHL

    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.

  • Jake Evans C | MON

    Canadiens' Jake Evans: Adds insurance goal

    Evans scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights.

    Evans continues to chip in a decent amount of supporting offense. He has three goals and three helpers over his last 10 outings while filling a middle-six role. The 29-year-old forward is up to four goals, eight points, 28 shots on net, 31 hits, 19 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 23 contests this season.

  • Blackhawks' Teuvo Teravainen: Questionable for Sunday

    Teravainen (undisclosed) didn't participate in Saturday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Anaheim, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Teravainen scored a goal and logged 20:47 of ice time in Friday's 4-3 loss to Nashville. He has accounted for 10 assists, 16 points and 29 shots on net across 24 appearances this season. If Teravainen is unavailable to play against the Ducks on Sunday, Oliver Moore could occupy a top-six role.

  • Shane Pinto C | OTT

    Senators' Shane Pinto: Tallies again Friday

    Pinto scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Blues.

    Pinto has three goals over the first five games of the Senators' current road trip. He's up to 12 goals, 18 points, 61 shots on net, 30 hits, 16 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 24 appearances this season. Pinto has often seen far more ice time than his third-line assignment would suggest -- he's averaging a career-high 19:33 per game -- which should help him continue to produce at a strong rate.
