Lundkvist (lower body) will not play in Tampa Bay on Saturday, according to Sam Nestler of DLLS Stars.

Lundkvist returned to action Wednesday after missing two games, but he logged only 6:38 of ice time before leaving the game. The 24-year-old has one assist in 15 games this season.

Vejmelka was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate and will protect the visiting net in Pittsburgh on Saturday, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Vejmelka is 1-3-0 in his last five appearances, giving up only nine goals on 147 shots (.939 save percentage). Overall, the Czech goaltender is 1-5-0 with a 2.37 GAA and a .922 save percentage. The Penguins should be a tired team, coming off a 4-1 loss to Winnipeg on Friday.

Copley was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.

Copley will occupy the backup role behind David Rittich while Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) is on IR. The 32-year-old Copley appeared in one game for the Kings this season, allowing two goals on 12 shots in a relief appearance versus Toronto on Oct. 16.

Portillo was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Saturday.

Portillo was the backup for two games during his emergency recall, as David Rittich picked up both starts. The Kings recalled Pheonix Copley in a corresponding move Saturday.

Andrae (undisclosed) will not play Saturday versus Chicago, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphiareports.

Andrae will sit out his third straight game. He has three assists, 15 hits and 13 blocked shots in 10 appearances this season. Andrea was a full participant at Friday's practice, so a return to action Monday versus Vegas could be in the cards.

Richard was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Richard was productive in his first stint with the Flyers, netting a pair of goals and six points in seven games. However, with Cam York returning from an upper-body injury, the 27-year-old Richard will head back to the AHL.

York (upper body) was activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup versus Chicago on Saturday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

York sat out 13 games after being injured versus the Capitals on Oct. 24. He has two goals and an assist in seven games this season after breaking out in 2023-24 with 10 goals and 20 helpers in 82 regular-season contests. York will replace Egor Zamula in Saturday's lineup.

Matthews (upper body) skated before Saturday's practice, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Matthews had not been seen skating since Nov. 10, making this an encouraging development. He left before Saturday's practice started, which probably means he won't play in Sunday's tilt against Utah. Still, Matthews could suit up in Wednesday's matchup versus Florida. He has missed the last seven games. Matthews has five goals and 11 points in 13 contests this campaign.

Ekman-Larsson (illness) returned to practice Saturday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Ekman-Larsson missed Friday's practice due to an illness but should be available for Sunday's matchup against Utah. The veteran blueliner has one goal, eight points and a plus-2 rating through 20 games this season.

Ullmark was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports, indicating he will guard the home net Saturday against the Canucks

Ullmark will look to snap his three-game winless skid -- he's struggled to an .841 save percentage in that span, allowing 13 goals on 82 shots. Overall, the 31-year-old netminder is 4-6-1 with an .887 save percentage and 3.00 GAA through his first 12 games with Ottawa.
