Spurgeon (upper body) won't play against Boston on Saturday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Spurgeon is day-to-day and will miss at least one game after getting hurt in Thursday's 3-2 win over Florida. He has earned six goals, 19 points, 84 shots on net, 129 blocked shots and 79 hits in 73 appearances this season. Zach Bogosian will replace Spurgeon in Saturday's lineup against the Bruins.

Oettinger is expected to start on the road against Pittsburgh on Saturday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Oettinger has gone 0-1-1 with a 3.43 GAA and an .869 save percentage across his past three outings. He's 29-11-6 with a 2.62 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 47 appearances this season. Pittsburgh ranks seventh in goals per game with 3.39 this season, but the Penguins are missing Sidney Crosby (lower body) and Evgeni Malkin (upper body).

Swayman is expected to start at home against Minnesota on Saturday, per Conor Ryan of The Boston Globe.

Swayman has a 28-15-4 record, 2.72 GAA and .908 save percentage in 48 outings with Boston in 2025-26. He is coming off a 31-save effort in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Toronto. Minnesota ranks 12th in goals per game with 3.22 this season.

Ostlund (upper body) isn't expected to play against Seattle on Saturday, per Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News.

Ostlund still needs additional time to recover from an injury he sustained in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to Boston. He will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. Ostlund has 11 goals, 27 points, 60 shots on net and 30 blocked shots in 60 NHL appearances this season.

Mazur was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.

Mazur has 11 goals and 14 points in 14 outings with Grand Rapids this season. He hasn't played for Detroit yet in the 2025-26 campaign, and injuries have limited his opportunities for call-ups.

Terry (lower body) is good to play against Edmonton on Saturday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Terry missed Thursday's game against Calgary because of the injury. He has 17 goals and 52 points in 51 outings in 2025-26. Terry will return to the first line alongside Chris Kreider and Leo Carlsson on Saturday, which will push Frank Vatrano out of the top six.

Lazar (undisclosed) has been activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Anaheim on Saturday, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Following an 11-game absence, Lazar will occupy a spot on the fourth line against the Ducks on Saturday. He has contributed three goals, five points, 24 shots on net and 77 hits in 38 appearances this season.

Mintyukov (lower body) will miss Saturday's game against Edmonton, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Mintyukov has eight goals, 20 points, 10 PIM, 35 hits and 106 blocks in 67 appearances in 2025-26. Anaheim dressed seven defensemen for Thursday's game against Calgary, but Radko Gudas (lower body) and Mintyukov are both exiting the lineup due to injury. As a result, Anaheim will likely shift to 12 forwards and six defensemen. Forward Troy Terry (lower body) is good to return from injury, and defenseman Drew Helleson is also drawing into the lineup.

Ingram will be between the pipes for Saturday's home matchup against Anaheim, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Ingram is coming off a 26-save performance in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over Vegas. He has a 12-8-2 record with one shutout, a 2.83 GAA and an .891 save percentage across 25 NHL appearances this campaign. Anaheim ranks 11th in the league with 3.26 goals per game this season.

Dostal will defend the road net against the Oilers on Saturday, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Dostal has won his last two outings while making 56 saves on 60 shots. He has a 29-15-3 record this campaign with a 3.01 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 49 appearances. Edmonton is tied for fourth in the league with 3.48 goals per game this season.
