White has been out since October 21st but will return from his conditioning stint with Belleville and play vs. the Hurricanes. White, who missed seven games, returns with just one goal and one assist in eight games this season.
Dowd has been out of the lineup for the last three games but will replace Carl Hagelin vs. the Golden Knights. Dowd will centre the fourth line and re-enters the lineup with two goals and one assist in 11 games this season.
Hagelin will come out of the Capitals lineup vs. the Golden Knights, so look for Chandler Stephenson to move up to the third line with Lars Eller. Hagelin, who has just five assists in 17 games this season, should be considered questionable heading into Monday's game vs. the Coyotes.
Quick allowed three goals on 23 shots in the Kings win in Toronto on Tuesday. The loss extended his losing streak to four games and nothing has gone right in those games. Quick has posted a 4.34 GAA and .872 SV% and his teammates have scored just 1.75 goals per game for him. Now he's got a road matchup in Montreal, where the Habs have won three of their last four.
Holtby allowed four goals on 36 shots in the Capitals win in Florida on Thursday. Holtby has won three straight and six of his last seven while posting a 2.82 GAA and .918 SV%. He has put an ugly start behind him and comes into Saturday's game at 2-0-2 with a 3.10 GAA and .887 SV% on five starts in Washington.
Andersen stopped 37 of the 38 shots that he faced in the Maple Leafs win over the Golden Knights on Thursday. He is on a three-game winning streak, which started with a shootout win over the Flyers, who he'll face again tonight. Andersen is 6-2-2 with a 2.92 GAA and .906 SV% in 10 starts at Scotiabank Arena this season.
Jones allowed five goals on 26 shots in the Sharks win over the Wild on Thursday. Jones has put together back-to-back wins for the first time since October 13th/16th. Jones has struggled on the road but has gone 4-3-1 while posting a 3.18 GAA and .892 SV% on home ice. Tonight he faces the Predators for the second time this season--he allowed four goals on 24 shots in a 5-2 loss in the first meeting (Oct.8).
Ritchie will come out of the lineup in Detroit because of an upper-body issue. Replacing Ritchie will be Steven Kampfer, who is from nearby Ann Arbor, Michigan. Ritchie is day-to-day.
Kampfer was a healthy scratch for the last two games but will dress as a seventh defenseman on Friday night. Kampfer is an Ann Arbor, Michigan native, so the Bruins obviously wanted to get him into the lineup near his hometown. Brett Ritchie will come out of the lineup.
Rooney played in eight straight games but will sit as a healthy scratch on Friday night. Rooney will be replaced by Jesper Bratt, who sat out of the last two games with an upper-body injury.
Bratt has missed the last two games with an upper-body issue but will play Friday in Edmonton. Bratt will replace Kevin Rooney in the lineup and will skate on a line with Adam Boqvist and Jack Hughes. He has three goals and two assists in 11 games this season.
Schneider surrendered seven goals on 23 shots in the Devils loss to the Lightning on October 30th. Mackenzie Blackwood has started the last four games but Schneider will get a chance to get back in the crease on the tail-end of a back-to-back in Western Canada. The 33-year-old is still looking for his first win of the season, going 0-3-1 with an ugly 4.71 GAA and .847 SV% in his first five starts.
Hellebuyck stopped 31 of 32 shots in the Jets loss to the Devils on Tuesday. Hellebuyck has been one of the best goalies in the NHL so far this season and the reason that the Jets are hovering above the .500 mark (8-7-1). Tonight he faces a Canucks team that is on the second half of a back-to-back and comes in at 5-4-1 with 2.70 goals per game on the road.
Gaudette has played in the last four games since being called up and has picked up three points (1G / 2A) during that time. However, Sven Baertschi will replace Gaudette in the lineup in Winnipeg.
Baertschi has been sitting as a healthy scratch but will replace Adam Gaudette in the lineup on Friday. Baertschi had a nice start to the season in the AHL, posting 10 points (2G / 8A) in seven games. He is expected to skate on the Bo Horvat line.
Demko allowed two goals on 26 shots in the Canucks win in San Jose last Saturday. With Jacob Markstrom going last night, Demko will make his sixth appearance of the season in Winnipeg. He has gone 2-1-0 with a 1.97 GAA and .931 SV% on the road this year and is a decent option against a Jets offence that is still searching for answers.
Green has missed the last three games with an illness but will be back in the lineup when the Red Wings host the Bruins on Friday night. Green, who has had a slow start to the year, posting one goal and one assist in 14 games, will play on the third pair with Madison Bowey and on the second power-play unit.
Zadorov is believed to have suffered a broken jaw after being hit by a puck in Thursday's win. Mark Barberio is expected to draw in for him on Saturday and a seventh defenseman will likely be recalled from the AHL at some point.
