Hagg was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Hagg made his NHL season debut Thursday, recording five hits and two blocks in 8:59 of ice time. He also has a goal and eight points in 14 outings with Henderson in 2024-25. The Golden Knights activated Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) off injured reserve Saturday in a corresponding move.

Hague (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Hague has a goal, 13 hits and 12 blocks in nine appearances this season. He was a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against Montreal. However, his activation off IR paves the way for him to draw back into the lineup following an eight-game absence. Robert Hagg was returned to AHL Henderson in a corresponding move.

Dermott (illness) is available to draw back into the lineup Saturday versus the Rangers, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Dermott was a late scratch Thursday due to the illness. He has no points, a minus-3 rating, six hits and 10 blocks in 10 appearances in 2024-25. While Dermott is projected to play Saturday, he might be a healthy scratch if Evan Bouchard (undisclosed), who is a game-time decision, ends up dressing.

Brown has been sent to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Brown has yet to pick up a point in three games with the Oilers this season. The 30-year-old had two assists in 12 AHL games before his recall.

Hague (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision in Montreal on Saturday, according to SinBin.vegas.

Hague has missed the last eight games and 11 of the last 12. Coach Bruce Cassidy said "if he's good to go after warmups, he's in." Hague has a goal in nine games this season. If Hague is able to play, look for Kaedan Korczak to be a healthy scratch.

Pietrangelo (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Montreal, SinBin.vegas reports.

Pietrangelo will miss his second straight game, but he hasn't been ruled out yet for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. He has accounted for two goals, 12 assists, 39 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 16 hits across 19 appearances this season. If Nicolas Hague (undisclosed) remains out, Robert Hagg will fill in again for Pietrangelo versus the Canadiens.

Jones will miss Saturday's tilt in Edmonton due to an upper-body injury, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

Jones will be replaced in the lineup by Victor Mancini. Jones has a goal and five points in 13 games this season. Consider jones day-to-day at this time, and he could return to action as early as Monday against St. Louis.

Bouchard (undisclosed) is a game-time decision Saturday against the Rangers, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Bouchard is "50-50" according to Brar after he missed the morning skate. Bouchard has five goals and 13 points in 21 games this season, including a pair of three-point games in his last six contests. If Bouchard is unavailable, look for Josh Brown to play.

Nurse (upper body) will play Saturday against the Rangers, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Nurse will rejoin the Edmonton lineup after missing the Oilers' previous three contests. The 29-year-old blueliner has two goals, nine points and a plus-2 rating in 18 games this season.

Andrae (undisclosed) will play Saturday against the Blackhawks, per Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

Andrae was initially expected to miss his third consecutive game but will return after a two-game absence. He has three assists, 13 shots on goal, 13 blocked shots and 15 hits across 10 appearances this season. Andrae will replace Erik Johnson in Saturday's lineup.
