Stecher is in the final year of a two-year contract worth $1.7 million. Stecher provides the Kings with some serious injury concerns at the moment. They've been without Drew Doughty, Mikey Anderson and Matt Roy for the last few weeks. There was also a report earlier in the weekend that Doughty's injury may be more serious than originally feared, so Stecher brings a veteran presence to a team relying on a lot of young defensemen right now.

Dermott has been a healthy scratch for the last three games but will replace Timothy Liljegreen in the lineup on Saturday. Dermott has picked up just five points (1G / 4A) in 42 games this season.


Janmark has missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury but is set to return on the Golden Knights' third line on Thursday. Janmark has 17 points (7G / 10A) in 47 games this season.





Brown will be a game-time decision for the second straight game. He's battling an undisclosed ailment but was able to play through it in St. Louis on Tuesday. If he can't go on Thursday, Tyler Ennis will draw into the lineup.




Regula has spent most of the season in the AHL, tallying 17 points (2G / 15A) in 28 games with Rockford. He will replace Riley Stillman on the Blackhawks blueline on Tuesday but has failed to record a point in his first seven career NHL games.

Brown was not on the ice for the Senators' morning skate and will be a game-time decision in St. Louis. Head coach DJ Smith said that Brown has been banged up for a while, so sounds like he's nursing some bumps and bruises rather than something that will keep him out for an extended period of time.

Bouchard was a game-time decision on Monday due to an illness he's been battling since Saturday. With Bouchard out, the Oilers will go with the standard 12 forwards, six defenseman formation--a rarity under new head coach Jay Woodcroft.
