Ullmark will draw the road start against Calgary on Thursday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

Ullmark has gone 1-0-2 with a 2.94 GAA and .887 save percentage over his last three starts, and he'll tend the twine for a fourth consecutive matchup following the Olympic break. During a home start against the Flames on Oct. 30, he turned aside 26 of 29 shots (.897 save percentage) in a 4-3 overtime victory.

Glendening was placed on waivers by the Devils on Thursday.

By putting Glendening on waivers, the team will be able to move him down to the minors in the future, assuming he goes unclaimed. The Devils did the same with Evgenii Dadonov and Maxim Tsyplakov, which could be a sign they are finalizing a deal to bring a player or two in via trade. For his part, Glendening has featured in just four of the team's last 14 contests and has gone 11 games without generating a point.

Dadonov was placed on waivers by the Devils on Thursday,

Dadonov has been a healthy scratch in each of the last five games. Dadonov, who had 20 goals and 20 assists for Dallas last season, has yet to hit the scoresheet in 17 games with the Devils in 2025-26.

Teravainen (undisclosed) could have aggravated a pre-existing injury at practice Thursday, according to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Teravainen has three goals in his last two games, giving the veteran 13 goals and 15 assists in 54 games. The Blackhawks will presumably monitor Teravainen leading up to Friday's game against the Canucks.

Finnie scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.

Finnie has goals in back-to-back games to begin March after going 22 contests without scoring. The rookie winger is up to 11 goals, 23 points, 96 shots on net, 94 hits and a minus-7 rating through 62 appearances this year. His physical play gives him appeal in deeper fantasy formats, though a third-line role at even strength isn't encouraging.

Barbashev scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Barbashev's tally at 11:37 of the third period set the Golden Knights on the comeback trail, cutting the deficit to 3-2. The 30-year-old has three goals over five games since the Olympic break and remains firmly in a top-line role. He's at 19 goals, 44 points, 97 shots on net, 95 hits and a plus-11 rating over 62 appearances. He's a good player to have in fantasy since he can help in a lot of areas without hurting a roster anywhere.

Smith scored a goal in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Smith has two goals and two assists over five games since the Olympic break. He's mostly worked in a second-line spot in that stretch, though he was limited to 9:12 of ice time Wednesday, so it's possible he's dealing with something, though nothing has been revealed by the team. The winger has 11 goals, 20 points, 72 shots on net and a minus-9 rating over 58 appearances this season.

Mangipane's availability against the Canucks on Friday will depend on when his visa application is processed, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Based on similar situations, it seems unlikely Mangipane will be ready to face Vancouver on Friday, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. In 52 games with the Oilers this season, the Toronto native has managed just seven goals and seven helpers. Now with the Blackhawks, Mangipane could see more opportunities than he was getting with Edmonton.

Quillan was summoned from AHL Toronto on Thursday.

Quillan will replace Nicolas Roy on the roster after Roy was dealt to Colorado earlier in the day. Quillan has played four games this season at the NHL level, and he's failed to record a point. Quillan had 12 goals and 33 points in 38 AHL games before being recalled.

Jones (upper body) has resumed taking full contact but won't play in Thursday's game against the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Jones has been sidelined since early January due to his upper-body injury, but he's progressing in his recovery. Head coach Paul Maurice said Thursday that Jones' return to game action will be determined based on when he's able to do some harder, basic things with the puck, and it's not yet clear when that will occur. However, the 31-year-old appears to be trending toward a return at some point in the near future.
