Both Wahlstrom and Anthony Beauvillier were activated and head coach Barry Trotz said it's possible that both will play on Saturday but "one more likely that the other." Monitor Wahlstrom's status as the Islanders hit the ice for warmups at 1:30 PM ET.
Korpisalo was in COVID-19 protocol and skated on his own on Thursday but joined the team on Friday and should be available for Saturday's game. It's unclear if he will start or backup Elvis Merzlikins.
On the day that the Islanders activated players like Mathew Barzal, they also added four forwards to the protocol list, including Wahlstrom. This group is expected to be out until next Wednesday.
The COVID-19 protocol list continues to grow in Boston, as Swayman was one of three players added on Thursday morning. Swayman joins Trent Frederic, Anton Blidh, Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.
Bergeron is the third Bruins player to enter COVID-19 protocol in the last 24 hours, joining Brad Marchand and Craig Smith. If the Bruins list doesn't continue to grow and their games remain scheduled, missing half of their top-6 is obviously going to be an issue.
Zadorov was one of six Flames players that were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday morning. Calgary's next three games have been postponed as a result of this outbreak.
Lindholm was one of six Flames players that were added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Monday morning. Calgary's next three games have been postponed as a result of this outbreak.
The Sabres do not have a timetable on Mittelstadt but believe he could be back before the end of the season. Mittelstadt has played just four games this season.
Korpisalo missed five games with an illness but was activated from IR on Friday morning. He will most likely serve as Elvis Merzlikins' backup on Saturday.
Mittelstadt will see a specialist on Friday to determine the severity of his upper-body injury. Expect the Sabres to provide a detailed timeline within the next 24 hours.
McAvoy missed Saturday's game vs. the Lightning but was a full participant in Tuesday's practice and is expected to play Wednesday in Vancouver. McAvoy has been a little quiet as of late, registering just two assists in his last seven games.
McAvoy was not on the ice for Saturday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision. With McAvoy absent, Mike Reilly took over on the top power-play unit during the session.
