Carlo missed Thursday's game vs. the Senators but will play Saturday afternoon vs. the Penguins. Carlo will replace Josh Brown and comes in with 15 points (6G / 9A) in 71 games this season.


Frederic was a healthy scratch on Thursday but will replace Tomas Nosek in the lineup on Saturday. Frederic has just one assist in his last 10 games.

Wahlstrom has been a regular in the Islanders lineup for a while now but will come out Thursday in Pittsburgh. Kieffer Bellows will replace him on a line with Mathew Barzal.

Carlo left Tuesday's game vs. the Blues after playing just 4:48 TOI and did not return. He's expected to be replaced by Matt Grzelcyk, who returns from a one-game absence.

The Bruins' third line has cooled off recently, so Frederic will be scratched on Thursday and the coach will shake things up a bit. Frederic has just one assist in his last 10 games.


Viel has been a healthy scratch for three of the last four games but will replace Radim Simek in the lineup as the Sharks go back to 12 forwards and six defensemen. Viel has five points (3G / 2A) in 30 games this season.


Lindholm suffered a lower-body injury in Detroit on Tuesday and will miss Friday's game in Tampa. With Lindholm out, Mike Reilly will move up to the top pair next to Charlie McAvoy.

Pastrnak was hurt late in Monday's game in Columbus, missed Tuesday's game in Detroit and will not play on Thursday. Pastrnak remains on the road trip, so he is not expected to miss an extended period of time. Monitor his status head into Sunday's game in Washington.

Pastrnak got tangled up in Monday's game in Columbus and left the game with an undisclosed injury. Pastrnak did not return to the game and will not play Tuesday in Detroit. With Pastrnak and Trent Frederic (upper-body) both out, two of Marc McLaughlin, Jack Studnicka and/or Anton Blidh will draw into the Bruins' lineup.




Johnson was scratched Thursday but will play against his former team on Friday. Johnson recently returned from a lengthy injury absence, so the Blackhawks were likely just being cautious with him with games on back-to-back nights.

McLaughlin was an undrafted free agent out of Boston College, who signed with his hometown Bruins a few weeks ago. The 22-year-old will replace Craig Smith, who is out with an illness.
