NHL Player News

Wilsby (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against Vegas, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Wilsby will miss his second straight game. He has a goal and seven points in 36 appearances during the 2025-26 season. Wilsby remains day-to-day, but it's unclear if he will return Tuesday versus Buffalo.

Husso will draw the home start versus the Kings on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Husso will handle the second half of this back-to-back set after Lukas Dostal came away with a win Friday over the Kings. The 30-year-old Husso allowed four goals on 34 shots in his previous start versus the Hurricanes on Jan. 8. He continues to serve as the Ducks' backup while Petr Mrazek (lower body) is on the shelf.

Gustavsson made 20 saves in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sabres.

Neither team could break a 4-4 tie in the third period, but Mats Zuccarello put Gustavsson in the win column with a power-play tally in OT. It was the 27-year-old netminder's 15th victory of the season, with half of them coming in his last 12 outings -- a stretch in which he's gone 8-1-2 with a .915 save percentage.

Annunen is expected to start on the road against Vegas on Saturday, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Although Annunen has played sparingly this season, he has won his past three starts while stopping 75 of 80 shots (.938 save percentage). He's 4-5-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .881 save percentage in 13 outings in 2025-26. Vegas has won its past six games, posting 4.83 goals per game across that stretch.

Forsberg will play in goal on the road versus the Ducks on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Forsberg is making his first start in four games. The 33-year-old has watched Darcy Kuemper fail to record a win in the last three contests, so the door could be open for Forsberg to push into a timeshare with a good performance here. He's 7-6-3 with a 2.65 GAA and a .901 save percentage over 17 outings this season.

Fabbro (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Penguins.

Fabbro was hurt in the first period and was unable to get back into action. If he misses time, it'll open the door for Jake Christiansen to pick up minutes on a blue line that's suddenly collecting injuries. The Blue Jackets' next game is Tuesday at home versus the Senators.

Harvey-Pinard scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-1 win over Hartford on Saturday.

Harvey-Pinard didn't get into a game during his call-up with the Penguins last week, but it was a reward for his strong play in the AHL. He's at nine goals and eight assists over 35 outings this season, with four goals and three helpers coming over his last eight contests. The 27-year-old has 84 games of NHL experience, so it's possible the Penguins will give him additional looks later in the campaign.

Peeke (lower body) will miss Saturday's game in Chicago.

Peeke sustained the injury during Thursday's 4-2 win over Seattle. He has four goals and nine points in 48 outings in 2025-26. His exit will coincide with Hampus Lindholm's (lower body) return.

Brzustewicz notched three assists in OHL London's 5-4 win over Owen Sound on Saturday.

The defenseman has earned a goal and five assists over his last three games. That matches his point total from the previous 10 contests. Brzustewicz has put together an acceptable season with 26 points, 131 shots on net, 43 PIM and a minus-15 rating over 34 appearances. Considering London has had a decent season, Brzustewicz's heavily negative plus-minus rating is a concern for his defensive skills. However, he projects to be more of a stay-at-home type once he reaches the professional ranks.

Wilson (lower body) remains on injured reserve and won't play Saturday versus the Panthers, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Wilson was deemed a game-time decision, but the lack of an activation from IR means he'll need to miss a seventh consecutive game. He should be considered close to a return, perhaps as early as Monday in Colorado, a game that kicks off a six-game road trip for the Capitals.
