The Maple Leafs will be missing their star center Auston Matthews, who is gone for the remainder of the season with a knee injury.

  • John Carlson D | ANA

    Ducks' John Carlson: Not playing Saturday

    Carlson (lower body) won't play against Ottawa on Saturday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

    Carlson will miss his 10th straight game due to an injury he sustained before the Olympic break. However, he is close to returning to action and could be an option for Sunday's contest against Montreal. Carlson has 10 goals, 46 points, 115 shots on net and 84 blocked shots in 55 appearances this season.

  • Ville Husso G | ANA

    Ducks' Ville Husso: Facing Senators

    Husso will be between the visiting pipes against Ottawa on Saturday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

    Husso is 7-6-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 14 appearances this season. He has seen action in six of the last 27 games for the Ducks, as the team has leaned heavily on No. 1 netminder Lukas Dostal. The Senators are generating 3.33 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign, which ranks ninth in the league.

  • Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Remains unavailable

    Askarov (lower body) won't be an option to play in Saturday's road game against Montreal and Sunday's road matchup against Ottawa, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

    Askarov remains day-to-day and still with the team on the road, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He has posted a 19-17-3 record this season with a 3.56 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 40 appearances. Alex Nedeljkovic and Laurent Brossoit will handle the goaltending duties until Askarov is ready to play again.

  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Back in action for Sunday

    Lundell (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Sunday against Seattle, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Lundell missed Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over Columbus due to an injury. The talented center has seen a big increase in his time on ice, going from averaging 16:43 in the 2024-25 regular season to 19:10 this campaign. Most of that has to do with the season-ending injury Aleksander Barkov (knee) suffered in training camp, but it also helps that at the age of 24, Lundell is maturing with an increased role. He has 17 goals and 43 points in 2025-26 and is just two points away from tying his career high in points.

  • Panthers' Carter Verhaeghe: Returning for Sunday

    Verhaeghe (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup Sunday in Seattle, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Verhaeghe sat out Thursday's game versus Columbus. Verhaeghe has 19 goals, 27 assists, 150 shots on net and 56 hits in 63 outings this season. He is expected to play alongside Evan Rodrigues and Mackie Samoskevich on the second line as well as seeing first power-play time in Seattle.

  • Jet Greaves G | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Jet Greaves: Facing Flyers

    Greaves will guard the visiting cage in Philadelphia on Saturday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

    Greaves has played only once in the last four games, giving up five goals on 31 shots in a 5-4 overtime loss to Los Angeles on Mar. 9. He is 20-12-8 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.69 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 41 appearances this season. The Flyers are tied for 24th in NHL scoring, averaging 2.80 goals per game.

  • Sam Bennett C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Bennett: Considered day-to-day

    Bennett (undisclosed) is day-to-day after sitting out Saturday's practice, Panthers play-by-play announcer Steve Goldstein reports.

    Bennett's availability for Sunday's matchup against Seattle is unclear, but Anton Lundell (undisclosed) will be available to return to the lineup. The 29-year-old Bennett has collected 24 goals, 50 points, 170 shots on net and 109 hits across 65 appearances this season.

  • Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Game-time decision Saturday

    Gudbranson (upper body) will be a game-time decision Saturday in Philadelphia, per Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

    Gudbranson, who participated in Saturday's morning skate, has missed the last two games. He is without a point in his last 11 games and has one goal and two assists in 21 games this season. If he is unable to play, look for Jake Christiansen to remain in the lineup.
