Gostisbehere notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Senators.

Gostisbehere has bounced back from a five-game slump, earning three power-play helpers over his last two contests. The defenseman continues to look good on the first unit, earning eight of his 12 points this season with the man advantage. He's picked up 29 shots on net, 18 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 16 outings as well.

Andrae (undisclosed) missed the last 9:21 of Saturday's game versus the Sabres due to an injury, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Head coach John Tortorella did not have an update on the nature or severity of Andrae's injury in his postgame comments. Andrae has played well in a top-four role, so this injury could have an impact on the Flyers' defense, though that could be mitigated if Cam York (upper body) or Jamie Drysdale (upper body) is able to return soon. Andrae's status should be updated prior to Monday's game versus the Avalanche.

Nurse sustained an upper-body injury during Saturday's tilt against Toronto and won't return to the game.

Nurse logged 7:45 of ice time before departing the contest. He entered the game with two goals, nine points, 33 hits and 31 blocks in 17 appearances in 2024-25. Edmonton has only 11 healthy forwards and seven defensemen on the roster, so if Nurse and Viktor Arvidsson (undisclosed) can't play Monday versus Montreal, a call-up from the AHL will be necessary.

Edvinsson will miss Saturday's game against LA because of a lower-body injury.

Edvinsson has two goals and six points in 16 appearances with the Red Wings in 2024-25. Justin Holl will draw back into the lineup after being a healthy scratch for Friday's 6-4 loss to Anaheim.

Savard is a late scratch for Saturday's game against Columbus because of an upper-body injury, according to Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.

Savard has four assists, 17 hits and 45 blocks in 17 appearances with the Canadiens in 2024-25. Jayden Struble, who would have otherwise been a healthy scratch Saturday, is expected to play due to Savard's absence.

Letang (illness) won't play Saturday against San Jose.

Letang will miss his second straight game. He has collected two goals, four assists, 47 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 35 hits across 18 appearances this season. Jack St. Ivany replaced Letang in the lineup for Friday's 6-2 loss to Columbus, but Owen Pickering is also available to play if called upon.

Jones (foot) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

According to Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times, Jones sustained a right foot injury on a blocked shot against Seattle on Wednesday. Jones' placement on IR will prevent him from playing in at least the next three games. He has registered two goals, eight assists, 38 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 22 hits through 17 appearances this season. Due to Jones' absence, Nolan Allan will probably return to the lineup versus Vancouver on Saturday.

Korczak notched an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-2 win over Utah.

Korczak was used in a versatile role Friday, taking some shifts as a forward and others as a defenseman. He's been in the lineup for two of the last three games as the Golden Knights deal with the absence of Mark Stone (lower body). Korczak doesn't have a secure spot in the lineup, but he's managed three assists, a plus-8 rating, 11 hits, 10 blocked shots and six shots on net over his six appearances this season. He could be an option to stay in the lineup over Ben Hutton during Nicolas Hague's (undisclosed) stay on injured reserve.

Van Riemsdyk notched an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Van Riemsdyk ended a five-game slump with his helper on a Connor McMichael goal in the first period. Through 16 outings, van Riemsdyk has eight assists, 27 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. He's over halfway to matching his production form 70 regular-season contests last year (14 assists), and he's set to be a fixture on the Capitals' third pairing.

Sandin scored an empty-net goal on three shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Sandin was able to close out the scoring with three seconds left in the game. The defenseman is on a roll with three goals and an assist over his last four contests. The 24-year-old is out of the power-play mix with Jakob Chychrun healthy again, but Sandin is still seeing top-four minutes, which allows him to make an impact at even strength. For the season, the Swedish blueliner has nine points, 18 shots on net, 20 hits, 36 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 16 appearances.
