Hellebuyck allowed five goals on 29 shots (.828 SV%) in a loss to Los Angeles in his previous start but will be looking to turn the tides Saturday as he takes on Edmonton. The 30-year-old workhouse has struggled out of the gate this season, with a 1-2-0 record, .843 SV% and a 4.38 GAA. He takes on the Edmonton Oilers, who have lost three of their first four games to start the season and are tied for 19th in the NHL in goals per game (2.75).

Comrie has yet to appear in any of the Sabres' four games thus far this season but is expected to start Saturday after occupying the crease at morning skate. The 28-year-old was 9-9-1 with an .886 SV% and a 3.67 GAA in 19 games started in 2022-23. He takes on the New York Islanders, who have gotten points in all three of their matchups (2-0-1) and are 22nd in the NHL in goals per game (2.67).

Miller has yet to play this season for New Jersey this season and will remain unavailable Friday as they take on the New York Islanders. The 30-year-old was acquired in the offseason for a 2025 fifth-round pick from Dallas after he had six goals, 15 assists, 106 SOG, 37 PIMs and a +23 plus/minus through 79 games in 2022-23. Miller is being re-evaluated with a possible update expected Saturday.

Toninato had a goal, an assist, two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus through two games with the Manitoba Moose (AHL) and has been recalled to the Jets Friday. The 29-year-old forward returns to the NHL where he has played six seasons and has 12 goals, 30 points and 73 PIMs in 169 career games played.

Jets' newcomer Vilardi will miss approximately four to six weeks after suffering an injury (sprained MCL) in Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings. In three games this season, Vilardi was seeing time on the top line and top powerplay unit, recording one assist and nine shots on goal. The loss is a sizeable one for the Jets, who will likely turn to Mason Appleton and Alex Iafallo for an increase in playing time.

The loss is a sizeable one for the Jets, who will likely turn to Mason Appleton and Alex Iafallo for an increase in playing time.

Schenn's status has been up in the air after sitting out the last three games but is now been confirmed to miss the next four to six weeks with a lower-body injury. He recorded one block and four hits in 15:11 time-on-ice in his only game this season. Last season, Schenn had a league-leading 318 hits along with 22 points (4G / 18A) in 70 games. Dante Fabbro has, and will likely continue, to fill in on the back end in his absence.

Vilardi suffered what the Jets are calling a lower-body injury after falling awkwardly following a hit from the Kings Blake Lizotte. Vilardi scored 23 goals and added 18 assists in 63 games with the Kings last season before heading to Winnipeg as part of the trade that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to Los Angeles. The 24-year-old Vilardi had impressed in his first two games as a Jet, registering one assist and nine shots on goal.

Tanev is expected to miss four-to-six weeks after suffering a lower-body injury in the Kraken's season opener against the Vegas Golden Knights. Tanev is coming off a season where he played a full 82-game slate after only playing 62 games combined in his two seasons prior. Tye Kartye replaced Tanev in their most recent game and will likely remain in the lineup until he is fit to return.

Hellebuyck will tend the crease for the third consecutive game to open the season for the Jets. After signing a massive contract extension before the start of the season, Hellebuyck has struggled out of the starting block. In his two games so far (1-1-0), Hellebuyck has a very uncharacteristic 4.07 GAA and .852 SV%. He will look to get things back in order tonight as the Jets are -130 home favourites against a Los Angeles Kings team that is still searching for their first win of the season (0-1-1).

Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 21 shots in the Jets' loss in Winnipeg on opening night. It was a tough start to the season for the workhorse netminder, but he should be relied upon whenever he gets the nod. This afternoon he'll face a Panthers team that was shutout in their first game and come in without Aaron Ekblad, Brandon Montour and Sam Bennett.

Anderson-Dolan was a healthy scratch in the season opener but will play Saturday vs. the Hurricanes. The 24-year-old forward was in-and-out of the Kings' lineup last season, totalling just 12 points (7G / 5A) in 46 games.

Anderson-Dolan was waived by Los Angeles last Sunday but has been recalled from Ontario (AHL) ahead of the Kings' game Saturday vs. Carolina and is expected to appear on the fourth line. The 24-year-old centre had seven goals, five assists, 54 SOG, two PIMs and a -11 plus/minus in 46 games with Los Angeles in 2022-23.

Schenn presumably picked up the injury at some point during Tuesday night's opening affair with the Lightning, though there was no mention or report of an injury prior to warmups for Thursday's game against the Blues. The 33-year-old blue-liner rarely contributes offensively, but his absence will be felt in fantasy formats that reward blocked shots and hits. Dante Fabbro will slide into the lineup in place of Schenn.

Tanev was the recipricantt of a high Brett Howden crosscheck which resulted in a two-game suspension and caused the grinding winger to leave after only 10:07 TOI and will now be out for Seattle's game Thursday vs. Nashville. The 31-year-old's absence creates a glaring hole in the Krakens lineup as Tanev had 16 goals, 35 points and a +21 in 82 games played in 2022-23. Rookie Ty Kartye will be making his NHL debut in place of Tanev.
