Parise has been effective since being signed by Coloraod last month but has missed the last three games due to a lower-body injury. The 39-year-old forward has seven points (4G / 3A) in 15 games while averaging 14:15 time-on-ice.
Lehkonen has been absent from the last two games but could return to the lineup on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers. The 28-year-old Lehkonen has been tremendous lately, tallying 13 points (8G / 5A) in his last 12 games.
Boqvist left Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators early in the first period after playing only 1:12 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. He managed to record an assist in his limited appearance, snapping a five-game pointless skid. Jake Christiansen was recalled from the Cleveland Monsters (AHL) as a potential replacement.
Christiansen played three games with the Blue Jackets earlier this season but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. He has 40 points (13G / 27A) in 54 games with the Cleveland Monsters (AHL) and could slot into the Blue Jackets lineup after being recalled due to Adam Boqvist suffering an upper-body injury.
Stastney returned to the Predators lineup on Wednesday but abruptly exited the contest after playing 13:27 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. Stastney spent an early portion of the season with the Predators but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. In 44 games with the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL), he has 20 points (5G / 15A).
Edstrom played 11 games with the Rangers earlier this season, scoring two goals, but has spent most of the 2023-24 campaign with the Hartford Wolf Pack (AHL). The towering 6'8 Edstrom has 12 points (8G / 4A) in 28 games with Hartford this season.
The Kings will turn to Talbot on the front end of a back-to-back in a favourable matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. After a horrible two-month stretch, Talbot has rebounded nicely, posting a .936 SV% in his last nine games (5-3-1). Talbot has dropped two straight contests but has played serviceably, saving 58 of 64 combined shots (.906 SV%).
Ollas was a seventh-round pick of the Rangers in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft and has earned himself a two-year, entry-level contract. The 21-year-old netminder has spent the last three seasons playing collegiate hockey with Merrimack College.

Marner has not practiced this week and will miss a third straight game on Saturday. Marner's timeline began as day-to-day, but the severity of his injury has elevated over the past week. The talented right-winger was scoring at a torrid pace before his injury, with 21 points (3G / 18A) in his last 13 games.
Jarnkrok returned to the lineup at the beginning of March after recovering from a broken knuckle but will return to the sidelines with a hand injury on a week-to-week basis. Jarnkrok was limited to only 8:16 time-on-ice before exiting Thursday's contest and had two points (0G / 2A) in five games since his return.
The Sharks will return to Chrona between the pipes on the front end of a back-to-back on Saturday, his fifth straight start. The 23-year-old Chrona has struggled in his first NHL season, allowing four or more goals in four of seven appearances (1-4-1), posting a miserable .872 SV%. The Sharks will visit a Columbus Blue Jackets team riding a three-game losing skid.

Talbot has dropped two straight contests but has played serviceably, saving 58 of 64 combined shots (.906 SV%).
The reeling Red Wings, losers of seven straight, will turn to Reimer between the pipes on Saturday afternoon against the Buffalo Sabres. Alex Lyon has struggled immensely lately, so a strong outing for Reimer could generate more opportunities for him down the stretch. The 36-year-old Reimer has played well lately, posting a 3-1-0 record and .930 SV% since the start of the new year.
The Senators will turn Korpisalo in the front end of a back-to-back on Saturday afternoon. After losing seven straight, the Senators are riding a rare two-game winning streak, keeping their opposition to three total goals.
