Fowler will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Fowler has stopped 165 of 173 shots during his six-game winning streak. He owns a 6-1-0 record, a 1.54 GAA and a .942 save percentage in seven appearances this season. Pittsburgh (5-6-2) ranks 13th in the league with 3.23 goals per game during the 2026-27 campaign.

Shaw was summoned from AHL Iowa on Saturday.

Shaw has registered four goals and 10 points in 10 minor-league outings this campaign. He could make his NHL season debut against Washington on Sunday if Joel Eriksson Ek (undisclosed) is unavailable.

George was recalled from AHL Hamilton on Saturday.

George hasn't earned a point in four AHL outings this season. He had one assist, two shots on goal, three blocked shots and one hit in four regular-season NHL outings with the Islanders in 2025-26. George could play against Edmonton on Saturday if Ryan Pulock (upper body) is unavailable.

Hamilton scored a goal and added three assists in WHL Red Deer's 5-2 win over Calgary on Friday.

Hamilton logged his ninth multi-point effort in 13 games this season. He's up to 11 goals, 14 assists and 63 shots on net, but this was his first multi-point outing in his last four contests. Hamilton continues to be a big performer for Red Deer and should be one of the most consistent scorers in the WHL.

Connors logged three assists in AHL Ontario's 5-4 loss to Tucson on Friday.

Connors logged his first multi-point effort of the season. He's up to one goal, six helpers, 25 shots on net and a minus-8 rating over 10 appearances. He had 41 points over 65 regular-season contests in 2025-26. Connors should be in the mix for call-ups if he finds more consistent offense in the AHL.

Kirkland scored twice and added an assist in AHL Iowa's 6-3 loss to Charlotte on Friday.

Kirkland has played well to start the season with five goals and four assists over 11 outings. He earned one call-up to Minnesota but didn't get into a game. The 30-year-old winger will likely see most of the rest of the campaign in the AHL, where he'll serve as a veteran leader for Iowa.

Walker scored three goals in AHL Springfield's 7-6 overtime loss to Providence on Friday.

These were Walker's first points in seven outings for the Thunderbirds this season. He hasn't regularly played in the AHL since 2023-24, but he appears to be out of the mix for depth spots with the Blues. He had 11 points over 46 regular-season outings for St. Louis in 2025-26.

Eyssimont scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Providence's 7-6 overtime win over Springfield on Friday.

Eyssimont is already up to 10 goals and three assists over seven games for Providence. The 30-year-old winger should continue to pile up points in the AHL. He could be called up to Boston at some point to fill a depth role, but he won't do enough to help in fantasy even if that happens.

Pelletier scored three goals and added an assist in AHL Syracuse's 7-0 win over Hamilton on Friday.

Pelletier has a pair of hat tricks over the last week. The surge has him back on track with seven goals and four assists over 10 contests. Pelletier has no immediate path to NHL time, but he continues to impress as an AHL scorer.

Sogaard notched a 21-save shutout in AHL Syracuse's 7-0 win over Hamilton on Friday.

Sogaard improved to 3-2-1 on the season with his second shutout of the AHL campaign. He's added a 2.06 GAA and a .920 save percentage. Sogaard is looking solid as the organization No. 3 for the Lightning, though he won't be in the NHL unless Andrei Vasilevskiy or Dennis Hildeby become unavailable.
