Klingberg (lower body) won't be an option versus the Stars on Saturday but could suit up in Sunday's clash with Vegas, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Klingberg will miss his fourth straight game due to his lower-body problem, but he appears to be nearing his return to action. In six games prior to getting hurt, the 33-year-old Swede managed just one point to go with 12 shots, eight blocks and three hits. Even once cleared to play, fantasy managers will need to take a cautious approach to utilizing Klingberg given his streaky offensive performance this year.

Merzlikins is expected to start on the road against Colorado on Saturday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Merzlikins has struggled this campaign with a 6-6-1 record, 4.03 GAA and .877 save percentage in 14 appearances in 2025-26. His last start was Dec. 20, and he's allowed at least three goals in each of his past 11 appearances. Colorado is a tough assignment. The Avalanche rank first in goals per game with 4.05. They did lose back-to-back games Sunday and Tuesday against Florida and Tampa Bay, respectively, but the Avalanche rebounded with an 8-2 victory over Ottawa on Thursday.

He appeared in five games with Philadelphia back in October, recording no points, two shots, four hits and five blocks.

Konecny (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's clash with the Lightning, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.

Even if Konecny is unable to suit up for Saturday's tilt, his upper-body issue is not expected to be serious. In his last 20 outings, Konency has picked up at least a point 15 times, producing a combined nine goals and 12 assists, including four power-play points. If he were to miss out, Konecny's spot on the first line could fo to Matvei Michkov.

He's at 50 points (20 goals, 30 assists), 91 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 42 outings this season.

Emberson notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

Emberson ended a 13-game point drought with the helper. Prior to that slump, he earned four assists in a six-game span from Nov. 25 to Dec. 9.

Podkolzin scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

Podkolzin ended a nine-game goal drought with the tally. The 24-year-old still has room to grow in terms of being consistent, but he's in a good position for success as long as he can stay on the second line. The winger has reached the 10-goal mark for the second time in his career and is up to 19 points, 65 shots, 132 hits, 25 PIM and 25 blocked shots over 44 outings this season.
