It's unclear if MacKinnon will be ready for the All-Star game but he'll miss Colorado's last three games before the break. Mikko Rantanen will move to centre with MacKinnon out.

Manson has missed the last four games while in COVID-19 protocol but will return to the lineup on Thursday. It's unclear who Manson will replace on the blueline or if the Ducks will go with seven defensemen. He has scored three goals with three assists in 41 games this season.

Drouin missed the last two games with an upper-body injury and on Wednesday the Canadiens announced that he is out indefinitely. Don't expect to see Drouin until after the All-Star game at the very least.

Blackwood served as the backup on Monday but the Devils said that he was dealing with something and wasn't 100 percent. Moving him to IR opens up a roster spot to recall Akira Schmid from Utica (AHL) to serve as the Devils' backup behind Jon Gillies.

Entering COVID-19 protocol means that Manson will miss at least the next two games. He'll most likely be back in the Ducks' lineup next Monday in Boston.

Nichushkin will not be available for Monday's game vs. the Wild and will likely miss their first three games to start the week. Expect J.T. Compher to move into the top-6 with Nichushkin out.

Necas is now in danger of missing at least one or two games. This is poor timing for Necas, who was just starting to heat up, posting nine points (4G / 5A) in his last 13 games.

Ahcan played 13:06 in Thursday's win over the Flyers but will come out of the lineup on Saturday with Derek Forbort (COVID-19 protocol) returning.

Landeskog has missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but is expected to play Saturday. Landeskog, who has 31 points (12G / 19A) in his last 21 games, will be back on the top line and top power-play unit.
