Woodrow will miss Saturday's matchup vs. Minnesota as he left the team due to the birth of his child and should be back for the Rangers game Tuesday. The 30-year-old has struggled so far in 2023-24, with no goals, one assist, four SOG, and 12 PIMs through 10 games played.

Liljegren played only 4:49 before falling awkwardly into the boards after getting tangled up with Bruins' forward Brad Marchand. Liljegren left the game with a lower-body injury and the early update from Sheldon Keefe did not sound promising as he will likely "miss significant time." In 10 games this season, Liljegren has one point (0G / 1A), 18 blocks, and six hits.

Eklund did not participate in Wednesday's team practice due to an illness but is still expected to play Thursday as San Jose takes on Vancouver. The 21-year-old prospect has struggled offensively as the Sharks continue to be historically bad at scoring (1.0 G/GP) and has a goal, two points, 12 SOG, and a -4 plus/minus to start his first full NHL campaign.

Liljegren left the Maple Leafs' previous game Saturday after just 11:45 TOI due to an upper-body injury but will play Tuesday vs. Los Angeles. The 24-year-old defenseman has taken a positive stride forward in 2023-24 as he's averaging nearly a minute and a half more than his previous career-high TOI with his 19:12 TOI nightly and has an assist, and five SOG in eight games this season.

Nedeljkovic suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's matchup against the Dallas Stars but was able to finish the game. However, he was unable to complete practice with the Penguins on Wednesday and was later placed on the injured reserve late in the afternoon. Nedeljkovic allowed four goals on 34 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Stars.

Dellandrea will return to the lineup for the Stars as the rotation between him and Sam Steel, who will be a healthy scratch, continues on Tuesday. Dellandrea has one point (0G / 1A) while averaging 12:29 time-on-ice for the Stars this season.

Kurashev has indicated that he is ready to play and will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Boston Bruins as he replaces the injured Taylor Hall (shoulder). Kurashev has not played yet this season and is coming off a 2022-23 campaign where he scored 25 points (9G / 16A) in 70 games. His potential return to the lineup comes just after news broke that teammate Taylor Hall will be week-to-week with a shoulder injury.

Nedeljkovic was sensational in his only start of the season as he stopped 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%) in a victory over Calgary and will likely take the crease Tuesday after being the first goalie off the ice. The 27-year-old signed with Pittsburgh during the offseason and will look to add to his 43-38-15 career record with his .907 SV% and 2.95 GAA. He takes on the Dallas Stars, who have collected points in all four games this season (3-0-1) but are 21st in the NHL in goals per game (2.75).

Dellandrea will sit in favour of Sam Steel tonight after playing in each of the Stars' first two games. The 23-year-old scored nine goals and added 18 assists in 82 games with the Stars last season. Through two games in 2023-24 he's registered no goals and one assist with an ATOI of 12:29.

Nedeljkovic fell into a backup role with the Red Wings last season and went 5-7-2 with a 3.53 GAA and .895 SV% in 15 games (13 starts). This summer he signed with Penguins, where he'll serve as Tristan Jarry's backup. He had a strong pre-season but is far from the goalie we saw in 2021 when he posted a 1.90 GAA and .932 SV%. Nedeljkovic has a sub-par matchup vs. the Flames and should probably be left on the waiver wire until he has a better matchup.

Knyzhov was a healthy scratch for the Sharks' season-opening loss to the Golden Knights but he will replace Henry Thrun in the lineup vs. Colorado. Knyzhov had one goal and no assists in 12 games with the Sharks last season.

Desharnais had five PIMS and one shot on goal in the Oilers season opening loss in Vancouver. Desharnais will be scratched Saturday to make room for Mattias Ekholm (hip) to make his season debut.

Kurashev was injured in the Blackhawks' preseason back on September 28th and has been placed on the injured reserve retroactive to that date with a left wrist injury. The 23-year-old forward is expected to be out indefinitely to start the season after collecting nine goals, 16 assists, 116 SOG, 14 PIMs, and a -32 plus/minus in 70 games with Chicago in 2022-23.

The 26-year-old forward was brought into Pittsburgh camp on a PTO and has earned himself a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000. The Boston-born veteran had eight goals, seven assists, 64 SOG, and 12 PIMs across 68 games in his only season in Florida in 2022-23. He is joining his third NHL team after spending six years in Ottawa and one with the Panthers.
