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.
MacKinnon was forced to leave Thursday's game with an upper-body injury but it was deemed "precautionary" so it's not a big surprise that he is expected to play Monday. MacKinnon was tremendous on Thursday night, picking up four points (1G / 3A) and 10 shots in just 14:28 TOI. He is tied for sixth in the NHL in points with 22 (9G / 13A) in 16 games.
Foligno was forced to leave Thursday's game in San Jose with a lower-body injury and missed Friday's practice. Head coach Bruce Boudreau listed Foligno as questionable for Saturday's game in Arizona, so look for Victor Rask to replace him in Minnesota's bottom-6.
Dubnyk allowed two goals on 19 after replacing Alex Stalock in the Wild's loss in San Jose on Thursday. Dubnyk has lost each of his last two starts and is 0-6-0 with a 3.42 GAA and .890 SV% on the road this year. Despite the rough numbers, he has a chance to post strong splits against his former team, who rank 20th in the NHL in goal-scoring (2.81 GF/gm) this year.
Trocheck has missed the last seven games with a lower-body issue but the plan is for him to play on Saturday. Head coach Joel Quenneville told reporters that Trocheck "looked good" following Friday's practice, so expect an update a few hours prior to tomorrow's afternoon tilt. Trocheck has one goal and five assists (six points) in eight games this season.
Archibald has missed the last six games with a fractured foot but will play Friday vs. the Devils. Archibald has missed nine games this season with illness and fractured foot and has not registered a point in his eight games. He'll skate on a line with Riley Sheahan and Jujhar Khaira on Thursday.
Sheahan has missed the last three games with an undisclosed injury but will play Friday vs. the Devils. Sheahan, who has no points and a minus-8 rating in 12 games this season, will centre their third line with Jujhar Khaira and Josh Archibald on his wings.
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.
Letang missed Thursday's game against the Islanders with a lower-body injury that he suffered late in Monday's game in Boston. Letang will miss at least a couple of weeks, which has become a trend throughout his career. Letang missed 17 games in 2018-19 and has missed 20.7 percent of the games over the last five seasons.
Heinola was the No.20 overall pick in this summer's NHL Draft and appeared in eight games with the Jets and three games with Manitoba (AHL) before being sent back to Finland. Appearing in just eight games with Winnipeg keeps the first year of Heniola's entry-level deal intact. The 18-year-old defenseman had 14 points (2G / 12A) in 34 games with Lukko Rauma last year.
Bernier gave up two goals on 11 shots after replacing Jimmy Howard in the Red Wings blowout loss to Nashville on Monday. In his last five starts and two relief appearances, Bernier has gone 0-4-1 with a 3.85 GAA and .879 SV%. The Red Wings are struggling mightily, so neither of their goalies should be rostered and Bernier especially isn't an option against a Bruins team that has the highest Points% (.800 -- 11-2-2) in the NHL.
Vorobyev appeared in one game during his most recent call-up and has just one assist in six games with the Flyers this year. Vorobyev returns to the AHL, where he has two goals and two assists in eight games. Andy Andreoff was recalled to take his spot on the roster.
Andreoff has had a nice start to the AHL season, posting three goals and four assists (seven points) in 10 games with Lehigh Valley. He was fourth among Syracuse Crunch (AHL) forwards in points (55) in 75 games last season but has never played more than a fourth-line role in the NHL. He has just 24 points (13G / 11A) in 159 career NHL games, all with the Los Angeles Kings.
Petan played one game during his most recent call-up and heads back to the AHL after clearing waivers on Friday afternoon. The 24-year-old, who has five points (2G / 3A) in two AHL games, becomes a more intriguing trade target for other teams after clearing waivers.
Anisimov simply can't stay healthy this season. He returned to the lineup on Tuesday, played in just two games but is back on IR. Overall, he has missed eight of the last 11 games and the latest injury will cost him at least three more games.
Nilsson allowed two goals on 28 shots in the Senators win over the Kings on Thursday. Nilsson has won each of his last two starts while stopping 58 of the 62 shots (.936 SV%) that he has faced. Tonight the Senators host a Hurricanes team that has lost four straight (0-3-1) on the road while scoring just 2.00 goals per game.
Manning played 13:23 TOI on Wednesday but will be replaced by Joel Persson on Friday night. This will be the fourth time in five games that Manning has sat as a healthy scratch.
Persson was a healthy scratch on Wednesday but will replace Brandon Manning in the lineup on Friday. Persson is still looking for his first career point, collecting just nine shots on goal and a minus-1 rating while playing 15:20 ATOI in eight games this season.
Koskinen allowed three goals on 24 shots in the Oilers loss to the Coyotes on Monday. The Oilers continue to rotate their goalies, so tonight is Koskinen's turn and he draws the Devils on the tail-end of a back-to-back. The 31-year-old is 3-0-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .917 SV% on home-ice and New Jersey is 2-4-0 while averaging just 1.83 goals per game on the road.
