Eklund (undisclosed) will play versus the Sabres on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Eklund was considered a game-time decision, but he won't end up missing a game with the issue. The 22-year-old will play in his usual top-line role and will skate alongside Fabian Zetterlund and Mikael Granlund.

Rossi scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary.

Rossi was Mr. Clutch, scoring a five-hole goal with 34 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. He's taken the next step this season after putting up 40 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. So far, Rossi has 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) and 37 shots in 20 appearances this campaign, and he's starting to contribute on the power play. His assist came with the man advantage, where he has three points in his last seven outings. He won't deliver many hits or blocks, and he's still working at improving on faceoffs, but Rossi might be on the verge of fulfilling his draft-day promise as a top-10 pick.

Reimer will guard the road goal versus San Jose on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Reimer allowed nine goals on 66 shots in two outings with Anaheim this season. After being claimed off waivers from the Ducks on Nov. 13, he will get the second half of Buffalo's back-to-back following Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's 22-save effort in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over Anaheim. San Jose ranks 27th in the league with 2.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

McCarron (upper body) won't play Saturday against Winnipeg.

McCarron has two goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and 35 hits in 18 appearances this season. Mark Jankowski will replace McCarron in Saturday's lineup.

Saros will protect the home net versus Winnipeg on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Saros stopped 33 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Seattle. He has a 5-9-2 record with one shutout, a 2.52 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Winnipeg ranks first in the league with 4.20 goals per game in 2024-25.

Comrie will start on the road versus the Predators on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Connor Hellebuyck had a 17-save performance in Friday's win over the Penguins, but that light workload won't lead to him starting both halves of a back-to-back. Comrie will instead draw in for the first time since Nov. 14. The 29-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and a .909 save percentage over his first four appearances this season. The Predators enter this game in last place with 2.30 goals per game this season.

Paul (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Dallas, per Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com.

Paul will miss his second straight game. He has five goals and 13 points in 17 appearances in 2024-25. Tampa Bay will dress seven defensemen Saturday, including Darren Raddysh, who was a healthy scratch Thursday against Columbus. Paul's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Avalanche.

Allen will protect the road goal versus the Capitals on Saturday, Catherine Bogart of the Devils' official site reports.

Allen has allowed just three goals on 85 shots over his last three outings, winning two of those games. The Capitals have averaged 4.16 goals per game this season, but they are far less intimidating without Alex Ovechkin (lower leg) in the lineup.

Kolosov made 19 saves on 21 shots in a 3-2 overtime win over Chicago on Saturday.

Kolosov and the Flyers spotted the Blackhawks a 2-0 lead through two periods before earning a comeback victory. The 22-year-old netminder posted his first NHL win after losing four outings this season. He has a 3.34 GAA and an .877 save percentage through five appearances with Philadelphia in 2024-25.

Mrazek stopped 34 of 37 shots in a 3-2 overtime loss to Philadelphia on Saturday.

Mrazek and the Blackhawks squandered a 2-0 third-period lead in Saturday's defeat. The 32-year-old goaltender helped Chicago secure a point in the standings, but he arguably deserved a better result. His record drops to 6-8-1 despite a respectable 2.68 GAA and an impressive .912 save percentage through 15 starts.
