Wedgewood will defend the visiting blue paint in Detroit on Saturday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Wedgewood struggled Thursday in Montreal, allowing seven goals on 28 shots in a 7-3 defeat. He has been outstanding between the pipes this season, posting a 20-4-5 record with a 2.30 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 31 outings. The Red Wings are producing 3.07 goals per game, 18th in the league this season.

Lyon will patrol the home crease against Montreal on Saturday, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Lyon has won his last 10 outings while surrendering only 19 goals on 283 shots. He has three straight victories since returning to action from a lower-body injury against Nashville on Jan. 20. Lyon has a 13-6-3 record with a 2.62 GAA, a .914 save percentage and two shutouts in 24 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. Montreal ranks fourth in the league with 3.43 goals per game this season.

Glass (lower body) will return to the lineup Saturday in Ottawa, per Sam Kasan of the Devils' official site.

Glass missed Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Nashville. The 26-year-old center has 13 goals and five assists over 42 games with the Devils this season. He could be on the second line between Arseny Gritsyuk and Lenni Hameenaho if Nico Hischier (illness) is unable to play.

Binnington will protect the home net against Columbus on Saturday, according to Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Binnington has allowed 22 goals on 130 shots during his five-game losing skid. He has gone 8-15-6 this campaign with a 3.59 GAA, an .867 save percentage and one shutout in 30 appearances. Columbus sits 19th in the league with 3.06 goals per game this season.

Cizikas has recovered from his illness and will return to the lineup Saturday against Nashville.

Cizikas sat out his first game of the season Thursday. He has six goals, eight assists and 108 hits across 53 contests this season. Max Shabanov will come out of the lineup after drawing an assist Thursday in a 2-1 win over the Rangers.

Hughes (lower body) won't play against Ottawa on Saturday.

Hughes remains day-to-day and will miss at least one game after tweaking something in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over Nashville. He has compiled 12 goals, 36 points and 127 shots on net across 36 appearances this season. Based on Saturday's morning skate, Dawson Mercer is poised to center the top line, but Nico Hischier (illness) could occupy that role if he can play.

Dobes will be between the road pipes in Buffalo on Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Dobes has won his last five games after turning aside 26 shots in a 7-3 victory over Colorado on Thursday. The 24-year-old netminder is 17-5-3 with a 2.96 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 25 appearances this season. The Sabres have been firing on all cylinders lately and sit sixth in the league with 3.40 goals per game.

Ersson (lower body) will miss Saturday's home game versus Los Angeles, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Ersson sustained the injury in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Bruins. Dan Vladar will start Saturday's contest, while Aleksei Kolosov will be the backup after being recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday. It's unclear when Ersson will be available to return.

Kuemper will defend the visiting goal in Philadelphia on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Kuemper is 13-10-9 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.57 GAA and a .902 save percentage across 34 appearances in 2025-26. The Flyers are producing 2.92 goals per game this season, 21st in the league.

Greenway (abdomen) will be a game-time decision against Montreal on Saturday, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

Greenway hasn't played since Jan. 22 because the team has been managing his playing time after multiple hernia surgeries last year. However, he participated in Saturday's morning skate and could return to the lineup. Greenway has provided one goal, four assists, 29 shots on net and 48 hits across 33 appearances this season.
