Celebrini (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Blues, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Celebrini is considered day-to-day after he was a late scratch for Monday's game against the Stars due to a lower-body injury. He participated in Thursday's morning skate after being evaluated over the past few days, but the Sharks will wait to see how he feels in the hours leading up to Thursday's puck drop before determining his status against St. Louis. Ty Dellandrea is a candidate to remain in the lineup if Celebrini is unavailable.

Sergachev (upper body) will play in Thursday's game against the Bruins, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.

Sergachev departed Tuesday's game against the Devils in the second period due to an upper-body injury, but he participated in Thursday's morning skate and will be in the lineup against Boston. The 28-year-old has had a hot start to the season, recording a goal, five assists, six blocked shots, six PIM and three hits while averaging 20:58 of ice time over his first four appearances.

Lindgren (upper body) was placed on injured reserve by the Kraken on Thursday and is expected to miss four to six weeks.

Lindgren suffered the upper-body injury in the first period of Tuesday's clash against the Golden Knights before he ultimately was removed from the game ahead of the second stanza. Prior to going down, the 28-year-old blueliner compiled a plus-three rating, seven PIM, three shots on goal and four blocked shots across four outings to begin the 2026-27 campaign. While he is sidelined over the next four to six weeks, Josh Mahura is expected to see an increased role.

Compher (undisclosed) is slated to miss Friday's game against the Kraken and Saturday's game against the Canadiens, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Compher missed Tuesday's game against the Senators due to an undisclosed injury and is considered day-to-day, but he's set to miss at least two more games. Over his first two appearances of the season, Compher was held scoreless with three shots on goal, two PIM and a hit while averaging 14:40 of ice time.

Gibson will be in goal at home versus the Kraken on Friday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Gibson will make his fourth straight start to open the season for the Red Wings, having posted a 1-2-0 record and 2.39 GAA. With the 33-year-old backstop getting the nod in the opening game of the Wings' back-to-back, fantasy managers should expect Daniil Tarasov to get the road start against Montreal on Saturday.

Foligno (upper body) will not play in each of Minnesota's next two games, per Joe O'Donnell.

Foligno exited Tuesday's contest against the Sabres after the first period, as he did not rejoin the team on the bench for the start of the second. Per head coach John Hynes, the veteran forward will not play in Thursday's clash with Tampa Bay or Saturday's matchup against the Panthers. Foligno was off to a solid start to the new season, where he had one goal, a plus-two rating and three shots on net between his first three outings. With the 38-year-old winger sidelined, Nico Sturm is set to make his season debut. Foligno's next opportunity to return is Monday against the Golden Knights.

Oettinger will defend the cage for Thursday's road clash with the Sabres, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Oettinger is coming off a shutout victory over the Sharks on Monday, though he only faced 13 shots in that contest. While the 27-year-old backstop figures to face more rubber from Buffalo, he remains an elite netminder capable of putting together a fifth straight 35-win season.

Cossa will get the road start in Thursday's clash against the Bruins, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Cossa will look to continue his strong start with Utah after he anchored the Mammoth to a 4-1 win Saturday in his team debut. The 23-year-old netminder stopped 18 of 19 shots on net in the outing, and he projects to be a high-upside No. 2 option behind Karel Vejmelka this season. Cossa will face a relatively tough test on Thursday, however, as the Bruins have posted three goals or more in two of their first contests to open the new season. He is a solid streaming option in deep fantasy leagues for Thursday's matchup.

Woll will be between the pipes on the road versus Ottawa on Thursday.

Woll has made two appearances for the Flyers this season, losing both in overtime while giving up six goals on 84 shots (.929 save percentage). With quality ratios to start the year, Woll probably only needs a little more help to start picking up wins. If he can continue to produce, he might have a chance to earn a split-share with Dan Vladar.

Petrovic was loaned to AHL Charlotte on Thursday.

Petrovic was called up by Florida on Saturday, but he didn't appear in any games during his time with the NHL club. His return to the minors suggests that Aaron Ekblad (personal) could be back in action soon, while Petrovic should see more consistent opportunities for playing time in the minors.
