Benoit (upper body) has been ruled out of Saturday's clash in Winnipeg, per Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.

Benoit was a late scratch in Vegas on Thursday and will miss his second straight game. Benoit has three assists, 104 hits and 67 blocked shots over 41 outings this season. Look for Philippe Myers to remain in the lineup in place of Benoit, though Matt Benning could make a rare appearance in the lineup.

Teravainen (upper body) isn't expected to play against Boston on Saturday, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Teravainen didn't participate in Saturday's morning skate, and he is poised to miss his second straight game. According to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, there is no timeline for the forward's return, making it unlikely that he'll be back for Monday's matchup against Winnipeg. Teravainen has contributed nine goals, 21 points, 54 shots on net and 27 blocked shots in 45 appearances this season.

Hildeby will be between the visiting pipes against Winnipeg on Saturday, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.

Hildeby struggled in his last start Tuesday in Utah, allowing six goals on 41 shots. However, the Maple Leafs were a tired team in that matchup after a 4-3 overtime win over Colorado on Monday. Hildeby is 4-6-4 with a 2.97 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 17 NHL appearances. The Jets have won four games in a row after going 0-7-4 in their previous 11 contests.

Nylander (lower body) isn't expected to play against Minnesota on Monday, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.

Nylander won't play against Winnipeg on Saturday, and it's unlikely that he will be available for Monday's matchup versus the Wild. He has amassed 17 goals and a team-leading 48 points through 37 appearances this season. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup.

Evans (lower body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's game in Ottawa, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Evans has missed the last 13 games after getting hurt Dec. 20 versus Pittsburgh. Evans has five goals, five assists and 44 hits in 34 contests this season. He will need to come off injured reserve to return to the lineup.

Kasper scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

It was the 21-year-old's first multi-point performance since Oct. 30. Kasper has endured a rough sophomore slump in 2025-26, managing just four goals and eight points in 48 games, and without a consistent spot in the top six or on a power-play unit, it'll be tough for him to turn things around.

Lafferty (illness) will be a healthy scratch Saturday against the Bruins, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Lafferty missed Thursday's 3-1 loss to Calgary due to a flu bug that has been making its way through the Chicago dressing room, but he was back on the ice for Saturday's morning skate. He has one goal and one assist in 17 appearances this season.

Van Riemsdyk notched two assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 4-2 win over San Jose.

The veteran winger had a hand in an Alex DeBrincat tally in the first period and Dylan Larkin's game-winner in the third. Van Riemsdyk has caught fire in January, producing multiple points in three of the last six games while piling up two goals and nine points over that stretch.

Miller underwent knee surgery recently, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports Saturday.

Miller is week-to-week and will miss his third straight game against Toronto on Saturday. He has contributed one assist, 16 shots on goal, 10 blocked shots and 25 hits across 15 appearances this season. With Neal Pionk (lower body) and Haydn Fleury (upper body) unavailable as well, Elias Salomonsson and Luke Schenn have been seeing time in Winnipeg's bottom four. Isaak Phillips is also on hand as a spare defender.

Raymond collected three assists, one on the power play, in Friday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

After helping to set up Alex DeBrincat for the game's opening tally in the first period, Raymond had a hand in third-period goals by Dylan Larkin and Marco Kasper. Raymond hasn't gone back-to-back games without getting on the scoresheet since late December, racking up four goals and 15 points over the last 13 contests. He has 14 goals and 38 assists through 47 appearances in 2025-26, as he pushes toward a career-best campaign.
