Stone (wrist) will return to Vegas' lineup vs. Ottawa on Wednesday.

The 33-year-old Stone was off to another terrific start before his injury, with 13 points (2G / 11A) in six games. He is expected to play on a line with Mitch Marner and return to a role on the top powerplay unit.

Durzi (upper-body) will return vs. Montreal on Wednesday.

Durzi has not played since the second game of the season, recovering from an upper-body injury, but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. The 27-year-old Durzi was solid in limited action with Utah last season, scoring 11 points (4G / 7A) in 30 games. Dmitri Simashev will be a healthy scratch to accommodate Durzi's return.

Sean Durzi
Dostal (upper-body) is out vs. Vancouver and considered day-to-day.

Dostal is battling an upper-body injury and will miss at least one game. Expect Petr Mrazek to see the bulk of the action while Dostal is sidelined. The 25-year-old Dostal has a serviceable 2.81 GAA and .904 SV% in 17 games this season (11-5-1).

Lukas Dostal

Roy has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on November 15th, but he has returned to practice and will return to the lineup as early as Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old bottom-six forward has four points (1G / 3A) through 19 games in his first season with the Maple Leafs.

Nicolas Roy
Burakovsky (undisclosed) is a game-time decision vs. Minnesota on Wednesday.

Burakovsky has not played in the Blackhawks' previous two games, but he could return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Minnesota Wild. The 30-year-old Burakovsky had a career-high 61 points (22G / 39A) in 80 games with the Colorado Avalanche in the 2021-22 season, but has never come close to that total in other seasons. Playing predominantly alongside superstar Connor Bedar, Burakovsky has shown that evasive scoring tough through 18 games this season, scoring 15 points (7G / 8A).

Andre Burakovsky
Matthews (lower-body) will return to Toronto's lineup in Columbus on Wednesday.

Matthews has not played since suffering a lower-body injury from a Nikita Zadorov hit two weeks ago, but has been practicing for a week and will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 28-year-old Matthews has not been as dynamic as in previous seasons, but his goal-scoring prowess has been greatly missed by a Maple Leafs team that has lost seven of its last eight games (1-4-3). Matthews has 14 points (9G / 5A) through 17 games. Expect him to play on a line with Matthew Knies, who is also returning from a multi-game absence due to an injury.
