Harley (illness) will play Friday versus the Rangers, per the NHL media site.

Harley's status came down to a true game-time decision, but he'll suit up after missing two contests. The 23-year-old is projected to play on the third pairing, indicating he'll be eased back into action after being under the weather.

Marchment (undisclosed) will be in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Rangers, Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars reports.

Marchment exited Wednesday's game versus the Maple Leafs but looks ready to play without missing additional time. He'll be on a revamped second line, as Evgenii Dadonov was promoted to play alongside Marchment and Matt Duchene. Marchment has gone four games without a point entering Friday.

Panarin (upper body) is set to play Friday versus the Stars, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Panarin is set to return from a two-game absence due to the injury. The 33-year-old winger has racked up 15 goals and 36 points over 29 outings in 2024-25, including 10 points in seven contests prior to his absence. Panarin will play on the top line and first power-play unit.

Bennett (illness) is expected to play in Friday's game versus the Blues, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Bennett missed one game due to the illness. He warmed up on the third line, so it's possible his minutes are managed during the contest, but he should still see power-play time. Bennett is tracking toward a career year with 13 goals and 27 points over 31 appearances this season.

McLeod (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

McLeod was considered a game-time decision, but it looks like he'll center the fourth line in this contest. He has not missed a game this year, racking up 15 points over 32 appearances. Nicolas Aube-Kubel is expected to serve as a healthy scratch.

Broberg (illness) will be in the lineup Friday versus Florida, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Broberg missed Thursday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay because of the illness. He has two goals and 12 points in 21 outings this campaign. Tyler Tucker, who logged 8:29 of ice time against the Lightning, is set to be a healthy scratch Friday.

Faksa (lower body) is good to play Friday versus Florida, according to Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Faksa, who has two goals and seven points in 29 appearances in 2024-25, missed the Blues' previous five games. He's projected to serve on the fourth line alongside Oskar Sundqvist and Zachary Bolduc. Mathieu Joseph will probably be a healthy scratch due to Faksa's return.

Hofer is expected to start on the road against Florida on Friday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Hofer has a 7-3-1 record, 2.72 GAA and .907 save percentage in 11 appearances in 2024-25. Jordan Binnington started Thursday, but Hofer stepped in after Binnington allowed three goals on 11 shots. Hofer stopped the seven shots he faced over 24:21 of ice time, though the Blues still suffered a 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay. Florida ranks fifth in goals per game with 3.58.

Kochetkov is expected to start in goal on the road against Washington on Friday, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Kochetkov has a 13-5-0 record, 2.47 GAA and .902 save percentage in 19 outings in 2024-25. He's coming off a 32-save shutout victory over the Islanders on Tuesday. The Capitals are a difficult adversary, as they rank second in the NHL with 3.81 goals per game.

Greenway (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Friday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Greenway is considered to be out long-term after undergoing surgery, so his placement on IR makes sense. He has three goals and seven points over 20 appearances in 2024-25. Buffalo also activated Sam Lafferty (lower body) and Rasmus Dahlin (back) from injured reserve Friday.
