Hoffman has missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury but will return to the lineup on Saturday. Hoffman has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in 13 games this season.

Danforth has performed pretty well in his first five NHL games, scoring one goal with 10 shots in 9:50 ATOI. He'll replace Jack Roslovic in the Blue Jackets' bottom-6 on Saturday.

Roslovic has just five points (3G / 2A) in his last 15 games and three of those points came in one game (Nov.22). Justin Danforth will replace him in the Blue Jackets' bottom-6.




Bear was in COVID-19 protocol and missed the last six games. He took regular reps in Friday's practice but remains a game-time decision for Saturday's game vs. the Sabres.

Andreoff played in five straight games with the Islanders but switches spots with Austin Czarnik, presumably to allow Czarnik to play in his hometown of Detroit on Saturday.

Czarnik has yet to appear in an NHL game this season but has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 18 AHL games. Czarnik will take Andy Andreoff's spot on the roster and could make his season debut in Detroit (his hometown).

The Bruins were finally given the green light to call-up players from Providence after a COVID-19 breakout. Steen has two assists in two games with the Bruins and 13 points (6G / 7 A) in 12 games with Providence this season.

Shesterkin had to leave Friday's game after suffering a lower-body injury in the third period.

Look for Alexandar Georgiev to start Saturday.
