Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Unavailable Saturday
Crevier (illness) will miss Saturday's game in Nashville, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Arvid Soderblom G | CHI
Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Remains out Saturday
Soderblom (illness) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Predators, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Spencer Knight G | CHI
Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Still feeling ill
Knight (illness) won't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Predators, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Knight will miss his second straight game with the stomach illness going around the Blackhawks' locker room. The 24-year-old will attempt to be ready for a tough matchup Monday at home versus the Oilers.

Drew Commesso G | CHI
Blackhawks' Drew Commesso: Starting again Saturday
Commesso will start on the road versus the Predators on Saturday, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
Commesso will get the nod for consecutive games as the Blackhawks appear to still be missing Spencer Knight (illness) and Arvid Soderblom (illness). Commesso allowed five goals on 24 shots Friday versus the Capitals after starting on short notice. Given the likelihood that the team in front of him is far below 100 percent health, Commesso is a risky fantasy option.

Morgan Geekie C | BOS
Bruins' Morgan Geekie: Didn't complete Saturday's game
Geekie left Saturday's 10-2 win over the Rangers before its conclusion to attend to a family matter.
Geekie had one shot in 6:14 of ice time before exiting the game. He has 25 goals and 41 points in 44 appearances in 2025-26. Elias Lindholm (lower body) also left Saturday's clash before its conclusion, so Jeffrey Viel and Michael Eyssimont might draw into the lineup Sunday versus Pittsburgh.

Kings' Cole Guttman: Returns to AHL
Guttman was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Saturday.
Guttman was scratched for the only game he spent on the NHL roster. With Corey Perry (personal) coming back from the non-roster list, Guttman is no longer needed as a depth forward and will return to the Reign to wait for his next opportunity.

Pavel Zacha C | BOS
Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Big game puts him in record book
Zacha scored three goals in a 10-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.
Zacha put the winner behind Jonathan Quick on a 5-on-3 power play near the end of the first period. Both Zacha and Marat Khusnutdinov put up hat tricks, though Khusnutdinov finished with four tallies in the contest. It was the first double hat-trick game for the Bruins since 1964, and the first on home ice. The duo are the first teammates to each score their first NHL hat trick in the same game since Pittsburgh's Pascal Dupuis and Petr Sykora did it on Dec. 11, 2008, per Joe McDonald of NHL.com. Zacha is on a three-game, five-point scoring streak (three goals, two assists). He has 13 goals, 31 points and 67 shots on net in 44 contests this campaign.

Gustavsson is expected to start at home against the Islanders on Saturday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Gustavsson stopped 29 of 32 shots en route to a 4-2 loss to Los Angeles in his last start Monday. He has a 14-9-4 record, 2.48 GAA and .912 save percentage in 27 outings in 2025-26. The Islanders rank 23rd in goals per game with 2.86. They did earn a 9-0 blowout victory over New Jersey on Tuesday, but the Islanders followed that up with a 2-1 shootout loss to Nashville on Thursday.
