Wilsby (lower body) will return to the lineup against Utah on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Following a four-game absence, Wilsby will replace Nicolas Hague (lower body) in Saturday's lineup. The 25-year-old Wilsby has one goal, six assists, 33 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and 14 hits in 36 appearances this season.

Hague will miss Saturday's clash versus Utah and is considered week-to-week at this time.

Hague is likely out until after the Olympic break, as Nashville doesn't play from Feb. 6-25. Hague has two goals, nine assists, 54 hits and 37 blocked shots over 41 contests this season. Adam Wilsby will enter the lineup in place of Hague.

Bogosian (lower body) isn't ready to return to the lineup yet, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic on Saturday.

Bogosian remains on injured reserve and will miss his ninth straight game. He has provided one goal, three assists, 20 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 20 hits across 23 appearances this season. It's unclear when he will be ready to return, but he appears to be getting close.

Makar scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Flyers.

Makar remains one of the most productive blueliners in the NHL, so by now, fantasy managers should be used to seeing him finding ways to crack the scoresheet on a steady basis. Makar has recorded 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 10 games in January while also adding 19 shots on goal, seven hits and 16 blocked shots, so he's bringing the effort on both ends of the ice.

Edvinsson (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Winnipeg on Saturday, per Jonathan Mills of the Red Wings' official site.

Edvinsson will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has accounted for six goals, 17 points, 57 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and 63 hits across 48 appearances this season. Travis Hamonic replaced Edvinsson in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Minnesota, but the Red Wings also have Erik Gustafsson as an option for Saturday's contest.

Pulock (upper body) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt versus Buffalo, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Pulock left Wednesday's game versus the Kraken in the third period and did not return. He has two goals, 21 points and 93 blocked shots in 50 appearances this season. The Islanders recalled Isaiah George from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday, and he will take Pulock's place in the lineup.

George was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.

George had two goals and 10 points in 24 AHL games before his recall. George has spent the entire season with Bridgeport after playing 33 regular-season games with the Islanders in 2024-25, scoring once and adding four assists with the big club. The Islanders sent Cole McWard to the minors in a corresponding move Saturday. George could suit up Saturday in Buffalo, as the Islanders are down to five healthy defensemen, with Ryan Pulock day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

McWard was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.

McWard played three games for the Islanders and was unable to hit the scoresheet. McWard was a healthy scratch in the Islanders' last six games. The Islanders recalled Isaiah George in a corresponding move.

Andersson recorded an assist, three blocked shots, two shots on net and a plus-1 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Making his first appearance for the Golden Knights since being acquired from the Flames on Sunday, Andersson was slotted onto a pairing with former Calgary teammate Noah Hanifin and looked comfortable in his new surroundings. Andersson didn't see any power-play time, however, and he may have a hard time dislodging Hanifin or Shea Theodore from their assignments with the man advantage. Andersson had 10 goals and 31 points in 49 games with the Flames prior to the trade, but he might have a hard time matching that scoring pace with the Knights.

Mintyukov scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Mintyukov had been limited to just one assist over his first 10 games in January. He broke through with his first multi-point effort since Dec. 1 with this performance. The 22-year-old defenseman still has a long way to go for consistency, but he set a career high with his sixth goal of the campaign. He's at 14 points, 49 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 46 appearances.
