Marino will be sidelined indefinitely with a broken cheek that he suffered while taking a Steven Stamkos shot in the face on Thursday night. Marino filled in admirably when the Penguins were banged up and turned himself into a reliable top-4 defenseman this season, so this is a huge loss for the Penguins.
Weegar missed Thursday's game with an illness and is listed as day-to-day heading into Saturday's game. Josh Brown will remain in the lineup tomorrow if Weegar can't go.
With Eric Robinson out with an undisclosed injury, Stenlund returns to the Blue Jackets and will likely be in the lineup on Friday. Stenlund has scored four goals with two assists (six points) in 17 games with the Blue Jackets this season.
Weegar has been out since December 23rd but will play tonight in Columbus. Weegar has scored three goals with nine assists (12 points) in 28 games this season while averaging 1.6 shots and 1.4 blocked shots per game.
With Oliver Bjorkstrand set to return from injury on Sunday, Stenlund heads back to the AHL to clear a roster spot. Stenlund had a solid showing in his second career NHL stint, scoring four goals with two assists (six points) in 17 games. He has also picked up 16 points (6G / 10A) in 27 AHL games this year.
Peeke has missed the last 13 games with a broken finger but is set to return to the lineup on Thursday. The 21-year-old defenseman had one assist in his first seven NHL games while averaging 1.7 hits and 1.3 blocks per game. To make room for him, the Blue Jackets have reassigned Gabriel Carlsson to Cleveland (AHL).
Hayton was hurt in the World Juniors semi-finals and played through the injury to lead Canada to a gold medal. Hayton re-joined the Coyotes on Wednesday but is expected to miss multiple weeks with a shoulder injury.
Hayton served as captain for Team Canada, who won the gold medal at the World Juniors. Hayton finished seven in tournament scoring, scoring six goals with six assists (12 points) in seven games. He has posted four points (1G / 3A) in 14 NHL games this season.
Weegar was on the ice for Friday's practice but missed Saturday's morning skate and head coach Joel Quenneville called him "day-to-day." This is a tough break for the Panthers, who were already without Aaron Ekblad for the weekend.
Peeke had a Mike Green slap-shot ramp up his stick and off of his hand during Tuesday's win in Detroit and he broke his finger on the play. Peeke will be out until mid-to-late January and Gabriel Carlsson was recalled from Cleveland to take his spot on the roster.
Peeke suffered a hand injury Tuesday in Detroit and will come out of the lineup vs. the Kings. Scott Harrington will draw into the Blue Jackets lineup to replace Peeke, who is listed as day-to-day.
Columbus lost Sonny Milano and Josh Anderson to upper-body injuries on Saturday, so Stenlund and Marko Dano have been recalled and will likely play on Monday. Stenlund has spent the entire season with Cleveland so far, scoring six goals with 10 assists (16 points) in 27 games.
Peeke has posted five goals and seven assists (12 points) in 21 games with Cleveland (AHL) this season and was called-up after Zach Werenski suffered a shoulder injury. He is expected to make his NHL debut on the third-pair with Vladislav Gavrikov as his partner.
Peeke, 21, was a second-round pick (No.34 overall) in 2016 and turned pro this year after three years at Notre Dame. The 6-foot-3, 198 lbs. defenseman has 12 points (5G / 7A) in 21 AHL games this year and could make his NHL debut with Zach Werenski out for at least one month.
Crouse has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury but will be a game-time decision against the Sharks. Crouse has five goals and three assists in 23 games this season.
Weegar missed the last seven games but will play Saturday vs. the Predators. Weegar has three goals on seven assists (10 points) while averaging 19:56 ATOI in 17 games this season.
Hayton has been a healthy scratch for the last six games but will replace Michael Grabner in the lineup on Thursday. Hayton has one goal and three assists in nine games so far this season.
Weegar has missed the last three games and head coach Joel Quenneville expects him to miss at least one more week (four games). They do expect him to return to practice sometime throughout the week, which leaves the door open for the defenseman to play next week.
