Vilen notched three assists in AHL Utica's 5-1 win over Belleville on Saturday.

Vilen has a goal and seven helpers over his last 10 outings for one of his best stretches of the season. He's at just 17 points in 46 appearances overall. While he's got the time to get to the 20-point mark again, he hasn't elevated his offense in his third AHL campaign.

Parent scored three goals in AHL Utica's 5-1 win over Belleville on Saturday.

Parent has four goals over the last two games, which follows a six-game slump for the forward. He's at 13 goals, 24 points and a minus-5 rating over 43 appearances. That's a pace roughly in line with the one that earned him 36 points in 61 regular-season contests a year ago.

Wilsby (lower body) will not return to Saturday's game versus the Stars.

Wilsby can be considered day-to-day due to the injury. He could be at risk of missing time since the Predators have a back-to-back next, with a home game versus the Red Wings on Monday, followed by a road game in Columbus on Tuesday. Justin Barron could replace Wilsby in the lineup.

Lindgren (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus the Canucks, per the NHL media site.

Lindgren will miss his second straight game. The Kraken have yet to provide an update on his status, but considering he's not on injured reserve, he's likely still in the day-to-day range. Lindgren's next chance to play is Monday versus the Hurricanes.

Raddysh scored a goal Saturday in a 3-2 shootout loss to Pittsburgh.

Raddysh has a point in each of his last two games (one goal, one assist) and 15 (nine goals, six assists) in 56 contests this season. However, his ice time has slipped below 10 minutes in both games since the Olympics. Raddysh has just 93 shots, 45 hits and 29 blocked shots during the 2025-26 campaign.

Zibanejad scored a power-play goal in a 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins on Saturday.

It was Zibanejad's team-leading 24th goal and 12th on the power play. He has 53 points and 159 shots in 58 games this season. Zibanejad's goal was his 338th in the NHL, which surpassed Henrik Zetterberg for the seventh-most by a Sweden-born player.

Shesterkin made 31 saves in a 3-2 shootout win over Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Shesterkin was especially sharp in overtime with five great saves to force the shootout. He missed 13 games prior to the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, and the extra rest during the break clearly has done the netminder some good. The win snapped a five-game skid for a Rangers team that sits last in the Eastern Conference and 30th overall in the NHL. Still, Shesterkin could deliver solid results for fantasy managers.

Saros will protect the road goal versus the Stars on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Saros will get the nod for the first time following his stint with Finland at the Olympics. The 30-year-old went 6-5-2 with a 3.81 GAA and an .880 save percentage over his 14 games prior to the break. Saros is a risky play even against a Stars team missing multiple key players.

Forsberg is expected to start at home against Calgary on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Forsberg is 0-2-1 with a 4.54 GAA and an .843 save percentage across his past four appearances with the Kings. That's dropped him to 8-9-5 with a 2.80 GAA and an .899 save percentage across 24 outings in 2025-26. The Flames own a subpar 24-27-6 record this campaign, but they've gone 3-1-0 over their past four games while outscoring the opposition by a 13-10 margin.

Wolf will protect the road goal versus the Kings on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Wolf will go for his second straight win coming out of the Olympic break. He stopped 34 of 35 shots in Thursday's win over the Sharks. With Wolf starting Saturday, expect Devin Cooley to draw a tougher assignment Sunday versus the Ducks.
