Detroit will be without Patrick Kane (illness) on Saturday and have a few players banged up which has led to the emergency recall of Zach Aston-Reese. The 29-year-old forward has appeared in only one game for the Red Wings this season and barely saw the ice as he only had 6:29 TOI without any counting stats.

Pietrangelo has missed Vegas' last six games due to illness but has rejoined the team on their road trip and is likely to return in Minnesota on Saturday. The 34-year-old is having a down year compared to his previous seasons in Vegas, with four goals, 32 points, 137 SOG and 24 PIMs in 62 games played before his ailment.

Samsonov hurt his calf muscle last Saturday and has not dressed for any of the Maple Leafs games this week but will start on Saturday in Buffalo. The 27-year-old has endured a very up-and-down season which included an earlier stint in the minors, but still holds an impressive 19-6-7 record despite his mediocre 3.12 GAA and .889 SV%. He will head to Buffalo to take on the Sabres, who have lost three of their last four games and are coming off an ugly 6-2 defeat at the hands of the Ottawa Senators last game.

Samsonov was unable to finish Saturday's game vs. Edmonton and did not dress on Tuesday after bruising his calf in a victory over the Oilers. The 27-year-old has stated he is good to go on Thursday when Toronto takes on Washington. He has endured the definition of an up-and-down season in 2023-24, with his 19-6-7 record, 3.12 GAA and .889 SV%.

Samsonov exited Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers in the third period due to a lower-body injury, which does not appear to be a long-term injury. Joseph Woll will start for the Maple Leafs on Tuesday with Martin Jones serving as the back up.

Pietrangelo has been battling an illness the last week and will miss his fourth straight game on Monday against the St. Louis Blues. The 34-year-old's production has been down this season compared to previous years as he has four goals, 32 points, and 24 PIMs in 62 games played.

Pietrangelo was originally a game-time decision due to illness but will ultimately miss his second-straight game on Thursday vs. Seattle. The 34-year-old's production has been down this season compared to previous years as he has four goals, 32 points, and 24 PIMs in 62 games played.

Dorofeyev missed the Golden Knights' previous game due to an undisclosed injury but will return to the lineup on Thursday vs. Seattle as he replaces Paul Cotter. The 23-year-old rookie has impressed during his brief showings with the Golden Knights this year, with nine goals, 16 points, 69 SOG, and his +6 plus/minus through 33 games played.

Alex Pietrangelo is battling an illness and will not suit up on Tuesday, allowing Hague to draw into the lineup. Hague did not play the last game but has been a regular for the Golden Knights this season, posting 12 points (2G / 10A), 102 hits, and 94 blocks in 58 games this season.

Nicolas Hague will draw into the lineup in favour of Pietrangelo, who is battling an illness. Pietrangelo has three points (0G / 3A) in his last five games and could return to the lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken.

The Golden Knights will turn to Hill for the sixth time in the last seven games. Hill has rebounded somewhat after a poor February and has won two of his last four starts despite losing his last outing a 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames when he allowed three goals on 36 shots (.917 SV%). The Golden Knights enter action as a -129 home favourite against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
