Toews has not played since January 28th due to personal reasons and will draw back into the Blackhawks' lineup Saturday vs. New Jersey. The 34-year-old has 14 goals, 28 points, 70 SOG, 37 PIMs and a -24 plus/minus through 46 games this season.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 30 shots (.900 SV%) for his second-straight loss as he we handed the defeat by San Jose in his previous start. The 29-year-old has enjoyed an incredibly strong season and is nearing 60 appearances (58), with his 32-24-2 record, 2.60 GAA and .917 SV%. He takes on the Detroit Red Wings, who have won their last two games but are 24th in the NHL in goals per game (2.92).

Thrun had seven goals, 24 assists, 14 PIMs and a +20 plus/minus with Harvard University (NCAA) this season and will make his NHL debut Thursday vs. Vegas. The 22-year-old is San Jose's 2019 fourth-round pick (101 overall).

Skinner stopped 18 of 22 shots (.818 SV%) for his fifth win in six games as he beat the Vegas Golden Knights in his last start. The 24-year-old Edmonton native has stolen the Oilers' starting position this season due to his strong play, shown by his 24-14-5 record, 2.95 GAA and .908 SV%.

Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 28 shots (.892 SV%) to snap a two-game winning streak as he lost to the Los Angeles Kings in his previous start. The 29-year-old has been great this season as he attempts to keep the Jets in a playoff position, with his 32-23-2 record, 2.59 GAA and .918 SV%. He will face the free-falling San Jose Sharks, who are in the midst of a nine-game losing streak and are 25th in the NHL in goals (2.85).

Vilardi has 23 goals, 18 assists, 122 SOG, 18 PIMs and a +10 plus/minus through 63 games this season but will not play Tuesday vs. Calgary due to an upper-body injury. The 23-year-old is considered day-to-day with his most recent injury.

Ford was an undrafted free agent out of Providence College who just finished his senior season with 26 points (12G / 14A) in 37 games. He's expected to report to Manitoba (AHL).

Thrun was originally a fourth-round pick of the Ducks, but his rights were traded to the Sharks this February for a 2024 third-round pick. The 22-year-old blueliner, who had 31 points (7G / 24A) in 33 games at Harvard University this season, is expected to join the Sharks immediately.

Vilardi was hurt in the Kings' last game but head coach Todd McLellan believes he'll be an option on Saturday. Vilardi skated in his usual spot with Alex Iafallo and Blake Lizotte in Friday's practice, a good sign that he'll play vs. the Jets.
