Graves (upper-body) will not play on Saturday.
Malkin (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Saturday.
Malkin has been out since March 16th but will be a game-time decision on Saturday. Malkin has been skating recently but its unclear where he will slot in in his return to the lineup. Malkin, who was red-hot before he got hurt, comes into Saturday with 24 points (8G / 16A) in 29 games.
Bemstrom (lower-body) will return to the Blue Jackets lineup on Saturday.
Bemstrom has been out since March 14th but will return to the lineup Saturday in Carolina. Bemstrom will replace Patrik Laine, who is out with a non-COVID-19 related illness. Bemstrom has just two assists in 15 games this season.
Girard left Friday's game with an undisclosed injury and did not return; questionable to play Saturday.
Colorado head coach Jared Bednar did not have an update on Girard's status postgame, so it's unclear what his status is heading into Saturday. With Ryan Graves also getting hurt in the game, the Avalanche may have to turn to an emergency recall to serve as their No.6 defenseman on Saturday.
Graves left Friday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return; questionable to play Saturday.
The Avalanche did not provide an update on Graves' condition postgame, so it's unclear whether or not he will be available for Saturday's rematch. If not, look for Jacob MacDonald to draw back into the lineup and for Patrik Nemeth to move up and skate with Cale Makar.
Lizotte (upper-body) is questionable to play Friday.
Lizotte missed Thursday's practice and is not expected to be available for Friday's game in Anaheim. With Lizotte not expected to play, look for Jaret Anderson-Dolan to draw back in.
Line Change
Jones will be scratched Thursday vs. the Flames.
Robertson has been activated from the COVID-19 protocol list and will play Thursday.
Robertson was added to the COVID-19 reserve list on Wednesday but was quickly removed and will be available for tonight's game vs. Winnipeg. Robertson has one goal in seven career NHL games, four of which came in the playoffs last year.
Robertson will draw into the Maple Leafs lineup on Monday.
Robertson has played a total of 2:20 TOI at the NHL level this season, getting hurt in the season opener. He's been in the AHL, where he's scored three goals and seven assists (10 points) in 14 games. Robertson will skate on the fourth line on Monday.
Rakell (upper-body) will return to the Ducks lineup on Friday.
Line Change
Jones will be back in the Oilers lineup on Friday.
Jones has been a healthy scratch for the last five games but will replace Kris Russell in the lineup on Friday. Jones has contributed very little offensively this season, picking up no goals with just one assist in 17 games.
Rakell is day-to-day with an upper-body injury; will not play Monday.
Dumba (lower-body) will return to the Wild lineup on Thursday.
As hinted to on Wednesday, Dumba will return from a three-game absence on Thursday. The Wild managed to go 2-1-0 without Dumba but he'll provide a massive lift to their blueline vs. St. Louis. Dumba has been relatively quiet as of late but has accumulated 11 points (5G / 6A) in 26 games so far this season.
Dumba (lower-body) will not play Wednesday but could return to the lineup on Thursday.
Dumba will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury but the Wild said he may play Thursday. Brad Hunt will remain in the lineup and is expected to be on the top power-play unit.
Dumba (lower-body) is not on the ice for warmups; will not play Saturday.
Dumba (lower-body) is doubtful to play Saturday.
Dumba left Thursday's game with a lower-body injury when he fell awkwardly into the boards. With Dumba expected to miss Saturday's game, he will likely be replaced by Carson Soucy, who missed yesterday's game due to a one-game suspension.
Malkin (lower-body) will not play on Thursday.
The Penguins said that Malkin is still being evaluated and will not play on Thursday. Head coach Mike Sullivan said that he hopes to have more information on Malkin in the next day or so, so it sounds like he could miss some time.
The Blue Jackets have placed Emil Bemstrom (lower-body) on IR.
Bemstrom was hurt in Wednesday's practice and was placed on IR on Thursday, meaning he'll miss at least seven days. Mikhail Grigorenko will replace him in the Blue Jackets' bottom-6.
Malkin is questionable to play Thursday due to a lower-body injury.
Malkin's injury comes on the heels of Teddy Blueger being sidelined "longer-term," so the Penguins centre depth will be put to the test if Malkin can't go Thursday. Luckily, Jared McCann, who is a natural centre but has played some wing this season, could be back in New Jersey.
