    Tolopilo is expected to draw the home start against the Predators on Thursday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Thomas (upper body) is slated to play in Thursday's game against the Hurricanes.

  • Dylan Larkin C | DET

    Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Will miss at least two weeks

    Larkin (leg) was ruled out for two weeks, where he will then be reassessed, per Jonathan Mills.

    Following Thursday's morning skate, head coach Todd McLellan stated that both Larkin and Andrew Copp would be reevaluated in two weeks for their respective injuries. Larkin has missed each of Detroit's last two contests with a leg injury he picked up near the end of the team's contest against the Panthers on Friday. Overall, the 29-year-old center has 28 goals, 27 assists, 190 shots on net, 34 hits and 31 blocked shots across 63 games this season. If the Red Wings' captain is ready to return in two weeks, he should have roughly 10 games to help the team secure a spot in the postseason amidst the competitive Atlantic Division.

  • Rangers' Igor Shesterkin: Facing Jets

    Shesterkin will defend the visiting crease in Winnipeg on Thursday, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

  • Dustin Wolf G | CGY

    Flames' Dustin Wolf: Receives starting nod Thursday

    Wolf will patrol the road crease in Thursday's clash with New Jersey, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

    Wolf will draw his second consecutive start Thursday after allowing four goals in his most recent outing. Since the Olympic break, the 24-year-old netminder has posted a 2-3-0 record, a 3.18 GAA and a .904 save percentage across five appearances. Overall, he has an 18-24-3 record, a 3.02 GAA and an .896 save percentage across 46 appearances this season. He's been a workhorse for Calgary this season, but will draw a solid matchup Thursday against New Jersey's offense, which ranks 30th in the league with 2.53 GAA this season. The matchup primes Wolf as a solid bounce-back candidate, giving him decent value across most fantasy formats.
