Hyman was a late scratch from Wednesday’s loss to the Blackhawks and is listed as a game-time decision for Friday’s game vs. the Flyers. Head coach Mike Babcock said he expects Hyman to play, but look for Patrick Marleau to play with John Tavares if he doesn’t.

Kapanen missed Monday’s game with what was called an “illness” but the Maple Leafs listed him as “out” due to a concussion. With Kapanen out, William Nylander moved up to play with Auston Matthews on Monday and is expected to skate there again tonight.

Kulak was a healthy scratch in Anaheim but will replace Mike Reilly in the lineup vs. the Red Wings. Kulak has three goals and seven assists (10 points) in 44 games this season.

With Lee Stempniak being sent back to Providence on Monday, the Bruins needed to add another forward to the roster before Tuesday’s game. Frederic will likely slide into the lineup as the third line centre with Charlie Coyle moving up to play the wing on the second line. Frederic has not recorded a point in 11 NHL games this season but has 20 (11G / 9A) in 45 AHL contests.

Hyman was not on the ice this morning but head coach Mike Babcock said he thinks Hyman will play vs. the Lightning. Hyman has played well as of late, scoring five goals with two assists (seven points) in his last 10 games.

McDavid was a late scratch from Tuesday’s game vs. the Coyotes due to illness but is back in the lineup tonight vs. the Islanders. McDavid is on-pace for a career-best 116 points (44G / 73A) after recording 83 points (31G / 52A) in his first 57 games.

McDavid was a late scratch from the lineup on Tuesday and missed Wednesday's practice, but the Oilers remain hopeful that he will play Thursday vs. the Islanders. Monitor his status as the Oilers hit the ice for tomorrow's game-day skate.

Pickard allowed four goals on 46 shots in the Coyotes 5-2 loss in Nashville on February 5th. Pickard has lost both of his starts with Arizona, allowing a combined six goals on 70 shots (.914 SV%). Tonight he faces a Flames team that is dangerous offensively but come in as losers of five of their last seven.

Pickard stopped 22 of 24 shots in the Coyotes loss in Montreal on January 23rd. With Darcy Kuemper starting and getting hurt last night, Pickard will start the second-game of their back-to-back tonight in Nashville. He draws a tough assignment in Nashville—the Predators have won three of their last four and are 16-10-0 on home-ice.

Roslovic left the morning skate early because he “cramped up,” so he will be a game-time decision vs. the Ducks. Roslovic has heated up recently, scoring two goals with one assist in his last five games.

Brown has recorded three goals in 22 games with the Thunderbirds this season but has no points in three NHL games. Brown is expected to be in the lineup on Friday.
