Savoie is one of the Sabres' most intriguing prospects after being draft as a first-round pick of the 2022 NHL Draft (9th overall) and is set to make his debut Friday vs. Minnesota. The 19-year-old centre appeared for five games for Rochester (AHL) earlier this season and had two goals, three assists, and six PIMs in six games played.

The severity of Jarry's injury hasn't been fully disclosed, but he isn't expected to miss significant time, currently being given a day-to-day prognosis. Magnus Hellberg will assume the role of starting goaltender in Jarry's absence. The Penguins have also recalled Joel Blomqvist to serve as Hellberg's backup as Alex Nedeljkovic is also unavailable, on long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury.

Mangiapane will return to the Flames lineup on Friday after serving a one-game suspension for cross-checking Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann. Look for Mangiapane to slot back onto the top line with Jonathan Huberdeau and Elias Lindholm. Mangiapane has seven points (4G / 3A) in 11 games while averaging 15:12 time-on-ice per game.

Jarry saved all 21 shots he faced before exiting the game late in the second period after Ducks' forward Adam Henrique collided with his head and is considered day-to-day. Hellberg entered the game and saved 11 shots en route to an eventual 2-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. If Jarry misses any extended time, expect Hellberg to take on starting duties for the Penguins as Alex Nedeljkovic is also out of the lineup, on long-term injured reserve with a lower-body injury.

Jack Campbell cleared waivers earlier on Wednesday, allowing the Oilers to recall Pickard from the Bakersfield Condors of the AHL. Pickard has not played at the NHL level since a three-game stint with the Detroit Red Wings in the 2021-22 season. The 31-year-old journeyman goaltender has been lights out with the Condors this season, posting a 2.03 GAA and .939 SV% in four games (2-2-0). Stuart Skinner is expected to take priority in the starters crease for the Oilers but after a dreadful 2-8-1 start to the season, the slightest misstep could potentially give Pickard a route to seeing game action.

It's been a very hot and cold start to the 2023-24 season for Jarry. The 28-year-old netminder is tied for the league lead with two shutouts to his name, but he also boasts an unsavory .897 SV% and a 2.73 GAA across eight starts. Jarry and the Penguins will be looking to build off a dominant win in San Jose on Saturday, when Jarry turned away 24 of the 26 shots he faced enroute to the 10-2 routing. Jarry and the Penguins somewhat curiously find themselves as heavy road favourites (-190) in Anaheim tonight despite the Ducks' impressive start to the season.

With the Lightning playing their second game in as many nights, Tomkins will relieve temporary starter Jonas Johansson between the pipes on Tuesday. It's the third start of the year for the 29-year-old rookie who spent the last two seasons in the Swedish Hockey League. Tomkins will be looking for his first win of the season and will be hoping to improve on his .891 SV% and 3.61 GAA. He and the Lightning are slight road favourites at -130 over the Canadiens.

Hamblin was recalled from Bakersfield (AHL) Sunday where he had three goals, two assists, six PIMs and a +4 plus/minus in six games and will make his season debut Monday for the Oilers vs. Vancouver. The 24-year-old appeared in 10 games as a rookie in 2022-23, but failed to pick up a point while getting 12 SOG, two PIMs and a -3 plus/minus.

Despite an even rotation between the pipes with Karel Vejmelka, Ingram has been the superior goalie for the Coyotes thus far and will pick up his sixth start on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. Over his last two games (2-0-0), Ingram has saved 57 of 60 shots (.950 SV%). The Kraken are averaging the sixth-fewest goals per game this season (2.66), which bodes well for the Coyotes, who rank in the top half of the league defensively (2.91 GA / GP).

Savoie has been recalled from the Rochester Americans of the AHL, coinciding with Brandon Biro being placed on the injured reserve Monday morning. Savoie scored five points (2G / 3A) in six games with Rochester.


Mangiapane will miss Tuesday's game vs. the Predators but is eligible to return Friday in Toronto. With Mangiapane out, look for Dryden Hunt or Adam Ruzicka (if he's healthy) to draw into the lineup on Tuesday.

Jarry allowed four goals on 27 shots (.852 SV%) in his previous start as he lost his fourth contest in five games but will take the crease Saturday in San Jose. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily in 2023-24, with his 2-5-0 record, .893 SV% and 2.84 GAA. He has the fortune of drawing the winless San Jose Sharks Saturday, who have lost all 10 games this season and have horrendously averaged on one goals per game (32nd in NHL).


Arizona has decided to go back to their convention 12 forward, six defensemen system and Josh Brown will be the odd man out Saturday vs. Winnipeg due to that. The 29-year-old defensemen has a goal, two SOG, four PIMs and a +1 plus/minus in five games played but will unfortunately head to the press box Saturday.

Jarventie had a goal, two assists, two PIMs and a -4 plus/minus in six games with Belleville (AHL) so far this season and has earned his first call-up to Ottawa Saturday. The 21-year-old has yet to make his NHL debut after being Ottawa's 2020 second round pick (33rd overall).
