Zary has also missed Calgary's past three games. He has 11 goals and 24 points in 67 outings in 2025-26. Zary is still day-to-day, so his next opportunity to return will come Monday in Colorado.

Malkin (upper body) won't play Saturday against Dallas.

Malkin is set to miss his third consecutive game. Pittsburgh still considers Malkin to be day-to-day, so a return Monday versus the Islanders hasn't been ruled out. Malkin has 15 goals and 52 points in 50 outings in 2025-26.

The 32-year-old Kucherov has amassed 40 goals, 121 points and 205 shots on net across 67 appearances this season. Kucherov will miss at least one game, but it's unclear if he will be available to play against Nashville on Sunday.

Gudas has two goals, 13 points, 45 PIM, 160 hits and 88 blocks in 54 outings in 2025-26. He sustained the injury during Thursday's game against Calgary. Drew Helleson might draw into the lineup due to Gudas' absence.
