Wright signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract extension with the Kings on Saturday.

Wright has two goals and one assist in two appearances for AHL Ontario this campaign. In 23 NHL regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2025-26, he registered four assists, 32 shots on goal, 18 blocked shots and 27 hits.

Honzek (undisclosed) will not play in Saturday's clash against the Ducks, per Pat Steinberg of QR Calgary 770 AM.

Honzek has missed Calgary's last two practices and will be unavailable for the first time this season. The 21-year-old winger has yet to find the scoresheet in 2026-27, where he has a minus-4 rating, three shots on net, 10 hits and two blocked shots across four appearances. In his absence, Maxim Tsyplakov will likely be worked into the Flames' lineup. Honzek's status will be monitored closely until further information on his status is provided ahead of Tuesday's game in Anaheim.

Kovacevic (knee) was activated from the injured non-roster list Saturday.

After missing the first three games of the 2026-27 campaign, Kovacevic could make his season debut soon. However, he isn't expected to play against Vancouver on Saturday. Kovacevic had eight assists, 30 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and 57 hits in 34 regular-season appearances for New Jersey in 2025-26.

Siegenthaler (undisclosed) will suit up for Saturday's home clash against the Canucks, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Siegenthaler exited Tuesday's contest against the Mammoth late in the third period, but has progressed enough in his recovery to be available for Saturday's game. The 29-year-old Siegenthaler has posted two shots on net, a hit and three blocked shots across three outings to begin the new season. He'll likely retain his role on New Jersey's second defensive pairing in Saturday's game with Vancouver.

Allen will protect the home net against Vancouver on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Allen will become just the 86th goalie in league history to play in 500 NHL games. In the 2026-27 campaign, he has allowed seven goals on 56 shots in two appearances (1-1-0). Despite a 2-3-0 start, Vancouver has amassed 21 goals in five games this season.

Greaves will defend the road crease in Saturday's clash with the Blues, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Greaves will look to bounce back in Saturday's contest after he most recently allowed four goals in a 4-1 loss to Utah on Oct. 3. The 25-year-old netminder currently has a 1-1-0 record, a 3.50 GAA and an .877 save percentage across two outings. His start to the campaign leaves room for improvement, and Greaves showcased how he's more than NHL ready in 2025-26, posting a 26-19-9 record, a 2.60 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 55 regular-season outings. Saturday is a strong spot for Greaves to get back on track, as he'll be facing a Blues' offense that is currently averaging just 2.25 goals per game to begin the new season.

Winterton logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

Winterton set up both of Frederick Gaudreau's tallies in the contest. Through five games this season, Winterton has earned three assists, eight shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating. The 23-year-old forward is holding steady in a bottom-six role to begin the campaign.

Martin (lower body) is healthy and is expected to be recalled from AHL Hartford, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic on Saturday.

Martin will be the Rangers' No. 2 netminder behind Dylan Garand because Igor Shesterkin (lower body) and Joonas Korpisalo (lower body) are unavailable. Korpisalo will miss at least another four weeks, while Shesterkin is out for the 2026-27 season.

Montour notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added three blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

Montour has a pair of two-assist efforts over five games this season. The defenseman has also been unafraid to mix things up, earning 27 PIM, six hits and 11 blocked shots. Montour's a lock for top-four minutes and power-play time, so he should continue to be a reliable source of all-around production, especially with the Kraken showing an ability to run up the score against bad teams.

Veleno (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

Veleno has already missed the last two games, and he is slated to miss at least three more months. He hasn't earned a point in four appearances this season, but he has contributed two shots on goal, five blocked shots and seven hits.
