  • Brock Faber D | MIN

    Wild's Brock Faber: First power-play goal of season

    Faber scored a power-play goal Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames.

    Faber got his first power-play tally of 2024-25 after wiring a point shot through a sea of bodies to beat Dan Vladar late in the third period. His third goal of the year gave Minnesota a 3-2 lead. He has 11 points and 26 shots through 20 games, proving his brilliant rookie showing in 2023-24 wasn't an anomaly. Faber is displaying the consistency that fantasy managers covet.

  • Jets' Dylan Samberg: Suffers lower-body injury

    Samberg won't return to Saturday's tilt against Nashville after sustaining a lower-body injury.

    Samberg entered the game with three goals, six points, 24 hits and 28 blocks across 20 appearances in 2024-25. He logged 9:07 of ice time Saturday before exiting the match. If he can't play Monday versus Minnesota, then Dylan Coghlan might draw back into the lineup for the first time in 2024-25.

  • Matt Boldy LW | MIN

    Wild's Matt Boldy: Six-game, seven-point streak

    Boldy delivered two assists, including one on the power play, in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Flames on Saturday.

    Boldy has three goals, four helpers and 22 shots during his six-game point streak. After two seasons of 60-plus points, Boldy is taking another step forward in 2024-25 with 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) and 72 shots through 20 outings. His star is on the rise.

  • Sharks' William Eklund: Set to play

    Eklund (undisclosed) will play versus the Sabres on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

    Eklund was considered a game-time decision, but he won't end up missing a game with the issue. The 22-year-old will play in his usual top-line role and will skate alongside Fabian Zetterlund and Mikael Granlund.

  • Marco Rossi C | MIN

    Wild's Marco Rossi: Game taking another step forward

    Rossi scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary.

    Rossi was Mr. Clutch, scoring a five-hole goal with 34 seconds left in the third period to force overtime. He's taken the next step this season after putting up 40 points in 82 regular-season games in 2023-24. So far, Rossi has 17 points (six goals, 11 assists) and 37 shots in 20 appearances this campaign, and he's starting to contribute on the power play. His assist came with the man advantage, where he has three points in his last seven outings. He won't deliver many hits or blocks, and he's still working at improving on faceoffs, but Rossi might be on the verge of fulfilling his draft-day promise as a top-10 pick.

  • James Reimer G | BUF

    Sabres' James Reimer: Starting Saturday

    Reimer will guard the road goal versus San Jose on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

    Reimer allowed nine goals on 66 shots in two outings with Anaheim this season. After being claimed off waivers from the Ducks on Nov. 13, he will get the second half of Buffalo's back-to-back following Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's 22-save effort in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over Anaheim. San Jose ranks 27th in the league with 2.45 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Predators' Michael McCarron: Unavailable Saturday

    McCarron (upper body) won't play Saturday against Winnipeg.

    McCarron has two goals, two assists, 16 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and 35 hits in 18 appearances this season. Mark Jankowski will replace McCarron in Saturday's lineup.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Guarding goal Saturday

    Saros will protect the home net versus Winnipeg on Saturday, according to Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

    Saros stopped 33 of 35 shots in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to Seattle. He has a 5-9-2 record with one shutout, a 2.52 GAA and a .916 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Winnipeg ranks first in the league with 4.20 goals per game in 2024-25.

  • Eric Comrie G | WPG

    Jets' Eric Comrie: Tending twine Saturday

    Comrie will start on the road versus the Predators on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    Connor Hellebuyck had a 17-save performance in Friday's win over the Penguins, but that light workload won't lead to him starting both halves of a back-to-back. Comrie will instead draw in for the first time since Nov. 14. The 29-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and a .909 save percentage over his first four appearances this season. The Predators enter this game in last place with 2.30 goals per game this season.

    Paul will miss his second straight game. He has five goals and 13 points in 17 appearances in 2024-25. Tampa Bay will dress seven defensemen Saturday, including Darren Raddysh, who was a healthy scratch Thursday against Columbus. Paul's next chance to play will come Monday versus the Avalanche.
