Larkin contributed two power-play points, with one goal and an assist, in a 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota on Saturday.

Detroit had 2-0 and 3-1 leads on Larkin's points, but the Wild rebounded for the comeback victory. The 28-year-old forward has three goals and four helpers in his last seven outings. Larkin sits second on the Red Wings with 24 goals and 52 points through 56 games this campaign.

Tomasino earned two assists and two shots during Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Capitals.

Tomasino assisted on a power-play goal by Kris Letang in the first period and had the primary helper on a third-period tally by Danton Heinen. The 23-year-old Tomasino has come alive offensively, generating three goals and seven points in his last 14 games.

Copp (undisclosed) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Anaheim, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Copp sustained an injury in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota and didn't return. He entered the matchup with 10 goals and 22 points in 55 appearances this season. With Copp likely to miss at least one game, Tyler Motte or Christian Fischer could play versus the Ducks on Sunday.

Sturm (lower body) is off injured reserve Saturday, which sets the stage for him to play Sunday versus Calgary.

Sturm has five goals and 11 points in 41 appearances in 2024-25. He hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 20 against Boston. The Sharks will likely use Sturm in a bottom-six capacity now that he's healthy.

Although Stephens cleared waivers, he's still on the Kraken's roster, per the NHL media site.

Stephens has a goal and three points in 25 appearances with Seattle in 2024-25. He might serve in a fourth-line capacity Saturday versus Florida.

Zibanejad (illness) is expected to play in Saturday's matchup versus Buffalo, according to Andrew Crane of the New York Post.

Zibanejad participated in Friday's practice after missing Sweden's 2-1 win over the United States at the 4 Nations Face-Off on Monday. He has produced 11 goals, 37 points and 125 shots on net in 55 appearances this season. Zibanejad entered the break for the tournament on a good note, producing two goals and six assists in his last five outings with the Rangers.

Copp won't return to Saturday's clash against Minnesota due to an undisclosed injury.

Copp registered an assist and logged 10:50 of ice time before exiting the match. The helper brought him up to 23 points (10 goals) in 56 appearances in 2024-25. If Copp can't play Sunday versus Anaheim, then Michael Rasmussen might be elevated to a second-line role.

Pettersson (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's clash against Vegas, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Pettersson sustained the injury while playing for Team Sweden during the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has 11 goals and 34 points in 49 appearances with Vancouver in 2024-25. If Pettersson can't play Saturday, Pius Suter will probably see an increased workload.

Jost (lower body) will be activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Toronto on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Jost will center the fourth line after missing the last 19 games. He has contributed two goals, 17 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and 20 hits through 16 appearances this season.

Cousins (knee) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, per PuckPedia.

Ottawa activated Noah Gregor (lower body) from long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move. Cousins is month-to-month after having knee surgery in late January. He has produced five goals, 13 points, 80 hits and 63 shots on net across 47 appearances this season.
