Whitecloud has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury and will miss at least two more games after staying back in Vegas. With Whitecloud out, expect Nick Holden and Dylan Coghlan to remain in the lineup.
Backlund (undisclosed) will be back in the Flames lineup on Sunday.
Backlund (undisclosed) will not play on Friday; listed as day-to-day.
Farabee has been activated from the COVID-19 reserve list and is expected to play on Saturday.

Backlund (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Backlund missed Monday's game in Vancouver with a lower-body injury but was on the ice for Wednesday's morning skate and will be a game-time decision. Backlund skated with Milan Lucic and Dillon Dube this morning, so he is a less appealing DFS option without Andrew Mangiapane on his wing.
Backlund (lower-body) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play in Vancouver.
Backlund (lower-body) is questionable to play on Monday.
Backlund suffered a lower-body injury early in Saturday's loss to the Canucks and is questionable to play on Monday. Head coach Geoff Ward called him "day-to-day" on Sunday, so monitor his status during the morning skate.
