Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Set to start Thursday
Kuemper will protect the home goal versus the Blackhawks on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Kuemper's continued to play well recently, but he's 1-2-2 with 11 goals allowed over his last five games. He's maintained a .918 save percentage in that span. The Blackhawks have scored 14 goals over their last four contests and could present a bit of a challenge.

Predators' Ozzy Wiesblatt: Suffers upper-body injury
Wiesblatt won't return to Thursday's game against Florida because of an upper-body injury.
Wiesblatt logged just 15 seconds of ice time before exiting the game. If he can't play Saturday in Carolina, then Tyson Jost will probably draw into the lineup.

Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Exits contest with LBI
Woll (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Hurricanes.
Woll stopped 22 of 23 shots over the first two periods of the contest before exiting. The Maple Leafs are also missing Anthony Stolarz (upper body), putting their goaltending group in a precarious spot. Dennis Hildeby took over in goal Thursday and would likely see a starting role if Woll is forced to miss additional time.

Kraken's Brandon Montour: Set to play Thursday
Montour (undisclosed) is expected to play Thursday in Edmonton, per the NHL media site.
Montour has five goals and 13 points in 20 appearances in 2025-26. He was considered questionable for Thursday's game because he missed practices, but the 31-year-old didn't end up spending any time out of the lineup due to the injury.

Kraken's Joey Daccord: Starting rematch in Edmonton
Daccord will protect the road goal versus the Oilers on Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Daccord surrendered four goals on 25 shots in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Oilers. He'll get a chance to redeem himself in a rematch Thursday in Edmonton, though the 29-year-old goalie has allowed 12 goals over his last five games, a 1-3-1 span for him. The Oilers have struggled this year but will be looking to replicate their effort from Saturday, which makes this a risky fantasy matchup for Daccord.

Senators' Shane Pinto: Hurt in Thursday's game
Pinto (lower body) was injured versus the Rangers on Thursday and won't return to the game.
Pinto can be considered day-to-day until more information is available. He was injured on a hit in the first period. His status should be updated prior to Saturday's game versus the Blues.

Tyler Seguin C | DAL
Stars' Tyler Seguin: On injured reserve
Seguin (knee) is on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.
Seguin was already expected to be out long term, so this move isn't surprising. He has seven goals and 17 points in 27 appearances this season. The full extent of his ACL injury isn't known, but if it's a tear, then this will likely be the second straight regular season in which Seguin has logged fewer than 30 games.

Jonathan Drouin LW | NYI
Islanders' Jonathan Drouin: Late scratch Thursday
Drouin (lower body) was a late scratch for Thursday's game against Colorado.
Drouin has three goals and 15 points in 26 outings this season. He's considered day-to-day, so it remains to be seen if he'll play Saturday or Sunday against Tampa Bay or Florida, respectively. Maxim Tsyplakov, who might have otherwise been a healthy scratch Thursday, is in the lineup against the Avalanche.

Alexei Toropchenko RW | STL
Blues' Alexei Toropchenko: Moves to IR
Toropchenko (leg) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Toropchenko is considered week-to-week after sustaining scalding burns to his legs in an accident at home. The 26-year-old's move to IR frees up a roster spot for the Blues should they need to call up reinforcements.
