Phillips will take a seat on Thursday as the Blackhawks opt to get some fresh bodies into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. T.J. Brodie will draw into the lineup in his place.
Maroon will take a seat on Thursday as the Blackhawks opt to get some fresh bodies into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Joey Anderson will draw into the lineup in his place.
Brodie will re-enter the lineup in place of Isaak Phillips as the Blackhawks opt to get some fresh bodies into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. He'll skate with Nolan Allan on Chicago's third defensive pairing.
Anderson will re-enter the lineup in place of Pat Maroon as the Blackhawks opt to get some fresh bodies into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Anderson has no goals and just one assist in five games this season.
Makar went down awkwardly in the 2nd period of Tuesday's win over Seattle and attempted to return for the 3rd period before leaving for the rest of the game, but thankfully it doesn't appear he'll miss any additional time. The 26-year-old is an early leader for Norris Trophy votes with 23 points (5G/18A) in his first 13 games played.
The Jets will turn to Hellebuyck between the pipes for a third straight game on Thursday against division rivals, the Colorado Avalanche. After slightly faltering from his Vezina-caliber campaign, allowing four or more goals in two of three games, Hellebuyck responded with a 21-save shutout victory in his previous outing, his second this season. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck has a tremendous 2.10 GAA and .923 SV% through 10 games (9-1-0). The Jets enter the action on Thursday as -137 home favorites against an Avalanche club that will have Alexandar Georgiev in net for only the second time in the past three weeks.
Kapanen has been limited to only eight games this but appears to be nearing a return as he was a game-time decision on Thursday against the Utah Hockey Club. The 28-year-old Kapanen has been out of the lineup since suffering an injury on October 29th.
A scary incident in Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning resulted in Holloway being wheeled off in a stretcher after taking a puck to the throat area. All tests proved negative and thankfully, for Holloway and the Blues, he will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Utah Hockey Club.
Utah will turn back to Ingram between the pipes on Thursday after Karel Vejmelka got the nod in Winnipeg on Tuesday. Ingram's early season struggles continued his last time out as he allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 4-3 overtime defeat at the hands of the Golden Knights. Thanks to some strong goal support, Ingram has still managed a 5-2-3 record on the season despite an .881 SV% and a 3.57 GAA. Utah enters action as slight favourites tonight in St. Louis at -115.
Jankowski was a healthy scratch for Wednesday's game but upper-body injuries to Tommy Novak and Colton Sissons has opened the door for him to re-enter the lineup. Jankowski has no goals and just one assist in 11 games this season.
Tampa Bay, amid a three-game losing skid, will turn to Vasilevskiy between the pipes on Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers. The 30-year-old Vasilevskiy has had an up-and-down start to the 2024-25 campaign, posting a 2.59 GAA and .903 SV% in 11 games (6-5-0). That said, Tampa Bay has a favorable matchup on Thursday, entering the action as -193 home favorites against a Philadelphia club with a -15 goal differential through 13 games (4-8-1).
Novak was a late scratch for Wednesday's game after seemingly suffering an injury in warmups and is considered day-to-day. Luke Evangelista will retain his spot in the lineup in place of Novak.
St. Ivany will take a seat on Thursday as Ryan Shea draws into the lineup in his place. St. Ivany is yet to register a point in 12 games this season.
Shea will make his first appearance since October 20th in the place of healthy scratch Jack St. Ivany. Shea has no points and two shots on goal in two games this season.
Sissons left Wednesday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. He was a late scratch on Thursday after exiting warmups early and is considered day-to-day.
Utah will likely turn back to Ingram between the pipes on Thursday after Karel Vejmelka got the nod in Winnipeg on Tuesday. Ingram's early season struggles continued his last time out as he allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 4-3 overtime defeat at the hands of the Golden Knights. Thanks to some strong goal support, Ingram has still managed a 5-2-3 record on the season despite an .881 SV% and a 3.57 GAA. Utah enters action as slight favourites tonight in St. Louis at -115.
Novak was a late scratch for Wednesday's game after seemingly suffering an injury in warmups and is considered day-to-day. Luke Evangelista will likely retain his spot in the lineup in place of Novak.
With Frederik Andersen (lower body) still sidelined, the Hurricanes will turn to Kochetkov between the pipes for a fifth straight game. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a pedestrian 2.72 GAA and .878 SV%, partly due to the Hurricanes' elite shot suppression, which has translated to an excellent 6-1-0 record. The Hurricanes own a league-best seven-game winning streak and enter the action on Thursday as significant -262 home favorites against a Pittsburgh Penguins club they defeated 4-1 less than three weeks ago.
The Predators will turn to Wedgewood for just the third time this season when they travel to Florida for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Thursday. Wedgewood picked up his first victory of the season his last time out, allowing three goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 win over the Blue Jackets back on October 26th. Juuse Saros is leading the league in starts for the fourth consecutive season, so Wedgewood will need to impress in his very limited opportunities if he wants to earn more work. He draws a tough assignment on Thursday with the Preds entering action as +175 underdogs.
The Bruins, fresh off a disappointing 4-0 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, will switch to Korpisalo between the pipes on Thursday. Korpisalo was excellent in his last outing, his first shutout of the season, saving all 20 shots he faced in a 3-0 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. That said, Korpisalo has been inconsistent this season, posting a 2.70 GAA and .894 SV% in five outings (2-2-0). The Bruins enter the action on Thursday as -156 home favorites against the Calgary Flames.
