Boeser scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Boeser came through when the Canucks needed him the most with a pair of third-period goals. He gave Vancouver a 4-3 lead with a power-play tally at the 2:40 mark and later closed out the scoring with an empty-netter with 16 seconds left. Boeser, who has scored three times in his last two appearances and notched his first multi-goal effort since Nov. 3, is up to 15 goals on the season. He's on pace to hit the 20-goal plateau for a third consecutive campaign.

Faulk is slated to play in New Jersey on Sunday. Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Faulk was dealt from St. Louis to Detroit on Friday and will meet the Red Wings in New Jersey. He had 11 goals, 21 assists, 102 blocked shots and 49 hits across 61 appearances with St. Louis before the trade.

Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Sports TV host Julie Stewart-Binks, indicating he will defend the road net against Toronto on Saturday.

Vasilevskiy has gone 0-3-0 in his last three outings while surrendering 12 goals on 64 shots. He has a 28-10-3 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.28 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 appearances. Toronto is tied for 14th in the league with 3.16 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Werenski (Illness) will return to action against Utah on Saturday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Following a three-game absence, Werenski will return to the lineup after recovering from a stomach bug. He has amassed 20 goals, 65 points, 195 shots on net and 68 blocked shots across 54 appearances this season.

Marchment (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday versus Utah, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Marchment sustained the injury in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Panthers, but all the test results returned negative. He has 10 goals and 17 points in 19 games since being traded from Seattle earlier in the season. Marchment should see first-line time alongside Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko and see action on the first power-play unit.

Jarry stopped 26 of 31 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Jarry made his first start since Feb. 4, when he conceded four goals and made 21 saves in a loss to the Flames. It marked his fourth straight outing without a win while protecting the Oilers' crease, going 0-3-0 with a 5.71 GAA and .812 save percentage over that stretch while allowing at least four goals each time. Connor Ingram could start to play a bit more regularly in the near future, given Jarry's recent struggles.

Makar produced a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.

Both points came in the first period, as Makar opened the scoring early in the frame before having a hand in a Nathan MacKinnon tally with just two seconds left before intermission. Playing for Team Canada in the Olympics seems to have rejuvenated Makar. The star blueliner had just one goal and four points in the last 10 games before the break. However, he has busted out for four goals and nine points in six games since the NHL schedule resumed.

Thompson will guard the road net against Boston on Saturday, per Mike Vogel of the Capitals' official site.

Thompson is coming off a 20-save effort in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Utah. He has a 21-17-4 record this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.42 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 42 appearances. Boston sits ninth in the league with 3.33 goals per game this season.

MacKinnon scored a power-play goal and added two assists, one with the man advantage, in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.

The 30-year-old superstar continues to lead the field in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy, as his 42 goals are five ahead of Cole Caufield. MacKinnon also leads the league with a plus-55 rating, and his 103 points are second behind Connor McDavid's 106. Over seven games in February, MacKinnon has piled up two goals and 12 points.

Andersen stopped 13 of 16 shots in Friday's 6-3 win over the Oilers.

Andersen got back to winning ways after sitting out the 6-4 win over the Canucks on Wednesday and losing against the Kraken on Monday. That said, this was far from his best showing, as the 36-year-old veteran posted an underwhelming .813 save percentage in the game. Andersen has posted a save percentage below .870 in his last two starts.
