Bobrovsky made 28 saves in Friday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.

With the trade deadline having come and gone without Bobrovsky getting dealt, the veteran netminder returned to the Panthers crease and looked sharp. With fewer distractions, he might be able to find some consistency down the stretch -- Bobrovsky's allowed more than three goals in four of his last 12 outings, going 4-7-0 during that span with a 3.56 GAA and .863 save percentage.

Bump was called up from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

The Flyers have 11 healthy forwards with Travis Konecny (upper body) questionable for Saturday's tilt in Pittsburgh after missing the last three games. Bump, who has 11 goals and 15 assists in 36 AHL contests this season, could make his NHL debut if Konecny is unable to play.

Contrary to an earlier report, Coyle (undisclosed) will be available to play against Utah on Saturday, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Coyle was on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and is poised to play against the Mammoth. He has registered 16 goals, 47 points, 111 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 81 hits across 61 appearances this season.

Stolarz will patrol the home crease against Tampa Bay on Saturday, per Mark Masters of TSN.

Despite stopping 67 of the 72 shots he has faced, Stolarz has gone 0-0-2 in his last two outings because of a pair of shootout losses. He has a 7-8-3 record this campaign with a 3.37 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 20 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks fifth in the league with 3.45 goals per game this season.

Ekman-Larsson (not injury related) will return to the lineup Saturday versus Tampa Bay, Terry Koshan of The Toronto Sun reports.

Ekman-Larsson was a healthy scratch the last two games, as the Maple Leafs were fielding offers ahead of Friday's trade deadline and didn't want him to suffer an injury. Ekman-Larsson is having his best offensive season since the 2015-16 campaign, when he tallied 21 goals and 55 points for Arizona. Ekman-Larsson has eight goals and 27 assists in 61 games this season.

Hellebuyck is slated to protect the home net against Vancouver on Saturday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Hellebuyck has won his last two outings while stopping 43 of the 46 shots he has faced. He has a 15-16-9 record this season with a 2.75 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 40 appearances. Vancouver is tied for 29th in the league with 2.56 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Metsa was loaned to AHL Rochester on Friday.

Metsa has two goals, four points, 17 shots on net and 20 blocked shots in 31 NHL appearances this season. Buffalo bolstered its blue line ahead of the trade deadline by acquiring Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn from Winnipeg on Thursday. However, Metsa could get another look at the NHL level at some point before the end of the 2025-26 regular season.

Brandsegg-Nygard was summoned from AHL Grand Rapids on an emergency basis Saturday.

The recall comes after Dylan Larkin (leg) sustained an injury in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers. Brandsegg-Nygard has one assist in nine NHL games this season. He has excelled at the AHL level with 16 goals and 21 assists in 50 games as a 19-year-old. Brandsegg-Nygard was selected 15th overall by the Red Wings in 2024 and has six goals and nine points in his last five AHL contests.

Sherwood scored a goal and added eight hits in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

This was Sherwood's first game since he signed a five-year extension with the Sharks. The 30-year-old winger is locked in as part of this team's core for a while, and he'll be a middle-six fixture with nearly unmatched physicality. Through 50 appearances between the Sharks and the Canucks this season, he has 19 goals, seven assists, 128 shots on net, 246 hits and a minus-10 rating.

Celebrini scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blues.

Celebrini has three goals and four assists over his last four contests. The 19-year-old superstar's goal tied the game at 1-1 in the second period. He's now up to 31 tallies, 88 points, 212 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 60 appearances this season. With a strong rest of the month, he could reach the 100-point mark by the end of March.
