The Golden Knights have acquired Mattias Janmark, Nick DeSimone and a 2022 fifth-round pick in a three-team trade with the Blackhawks and Sharks.
The Bruins have acquired Curtis Lazar and Taylor Hall from the Sabres for Anders Bjork and a second-round pick.
Lazar has not played since March 31st due to a lower-body injury but will likely serve as a fourth-line option in Boston once he's healthy. Lazar doesn't provide much offensive but was very solid in Buffalo's bottom-6 this year.
Line Change
Janmark will be a healthy scratch on Saturday as an "organizational decision."
The Blackhawks will sit Janmark a few days before the trade deadline to protect one of their potential trade pieces. Janmark has scored 10 goals with nine assists (19 points) in 41 games in his first season with the Blackhawks.
Nugent-Hopkins (upper-body) will not play on Saturday.
Nugent-Hopkins will not play on Thursday in Ottawa.
The Blackhawks have acquired Riley Stillman, Brett Connolly, Henrik Borgstrom and a seventh-round pick from the Panthers for Lucas Wallmark and Lucas Carlsson.
Line Change
Roslovic will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
Roslovic got off to a great start with the Blue Jackets but has quickly found himself in John Tortorella's doghouse. Roslovic has just one goal and one assist in his last six games and will be scratched in favour of a seventh defenseman on Saturday.
Lazar is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Lazar suffered a lower-body injury shortly after scoring his fifth goal of the season on Wednesday and will miss at least a few weeks. With Lazar coming out of the lineup on Thursday, Rasmus Asplund will draw back into the lineup.

Kapanen is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Kapanen (undisclosed) is questionable to play Thursday.
Kapanen did not return for the third period of Wednesday's game, so his status for the second half of the back-to-back on Thursday is uncertain. Expect an update around 5 PM ET.
Frederic (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Thursday.
Frederic was banged up in the Bruins' last game on March 18th but was on the ice for Wednesday's practice and will be a game-time decision on Thursday. Frederic, who has four goals and one assist in 28 games this season, is expected to play in the bottom-6 but should see some PP2 usage with Jake DeBrusk still out.
Line Change
Bouchard is expected to be back in the Oilers lineup on Monday.
Bouchard was scratched Saturday vs. the Maple Leafs but is expected to replace Kris Russell in the lineup on Monday. Bouchard, who has one goal and three assists in 11 games this season, will skate on the third pairing with Ethan Bear.

Hyman (undisclosed) will return to the Maple Leafs lineup on Wednesday.
