NHL Player News

Stolarz was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons after being struck in the throat by the puck during the pregame warmups for Saturday's match in Ottawa.

Stolarz was originally projected to start Saturday, but this incident led to Joseph Woll getting the assignment instead. Stolarz has an 8-9-3 record, 3.34 GAA and .894 save percentage in 22 outings in 2025-26. If Stolarz isn't available for Tuesday's game in Boston, then the Maple Leafs might summon Dennis Hildeby from the minors.

Gibson is expected to start at home against Boston on Saturday, per Red Wings in-game host Kara Wolfbauer.

Gibson has a 26-15-3 record, 2.53 GAA and .907 save percentage in 46 outings in 2025-26. He's won his past two starts while stopping 57 of 60 shots (.950 save percentage). Boston ranks 10th in goals per game with 3.29 this season.

Woll is expected to start on the road against Ottawa on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Woll stopped 32 of 36 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss to Carolina on Friday, so he wasn't expected to play between the pipes again Saturday. However, Anthony Stolarz left the pregame warmup early, per David Alter of The Hockey News, so Woll is being asked to start on no rest. Ottawa is 12-3-2 while averaging 3.65 goals per game across its past 17 matches, so the Senators are likely to be a challenging adversary for Woll.

Shabanov (lower body) is set to miss Saturday's game against Montreal, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Shabanov hasn't been in the lineup since March 13. He has four goals and 16 points in 42 outings in 2025-26. Shabanov is likely to be in the mix for a bottom-six spot once he's healthy.

Lankinen is slated to start at home against St. Louis on Saturday, per Ben Kuzma of Postmedia.

Lankinen has an 8-22-5 record, 3.67 GAA and .875 save percentage in 38 outings in 2025-26. He allowed six goals on 30 shots in a 6-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday. St. Louis ranks 29th in goals per game with 2.60 this season.

Binnington is expected to start on the road against Vancouver on Saturday.

Binnington has a 10-19-6 record, 3.47 GAA and .871 save percentage in 36 outings in 2025-26. He stopped just 13 of 16 shots en route to a 3-2 loss to Winnipeg in his last start Sunday. Vancouver ranks 31st in goals per game with 2.54 this season.

Tucker (lower body) is week-to-week, per Lou Korac of NHL.com on Saturday.

Tucker has three goals, 13 points, 81 PIM and 90 hits in 61 outings in 2025-26. Justin Holl is likely to play regularly during Tucker's absence.

Saros (upper body) isn't expected to be available for Sunday's road game against Chicago, per Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey.

Saros also missed Thursday's 3-1 win over Seattle and Saturday's 4-1 victory over Vegas. Justus Annunen played in both of those games, and he could get another start versus the Blackhawks on Sunday. If head coach Andrew Brunette decides to give Annunen a breather, Matt Murray could feature between the pipes in Sunday's matchup.

Greer will have a hearing Sunday for boarding Connor Zary during Friday's 4-1 loss to Calgary.

Greer has 13 goals, 24 points, 109 PIM and 181 hits in 68 outings with the Panthers in 2025-26. The Panthers already have plenty of question marks with their forward corps going into Tuesday's game against Seattle, including Sam Reinhart (undisclosed) and Mackie Samoskevich (undisclosed). If Greer is suspended, and none of Florida's injured players are ready to return, then the Panthers will likely summon a forward from the minors.

Joseph (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

After missing the past eight games, Joseph will be available to return to the lineup against St. Louis on Saturday. He has provided one goal, four assists, 18 shots on net and 10 blocked shots across 24 appearances this season.
