Clarke score the overtime winner and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 victory over the Bruins.

The rookie blueliner was in the right place at the right time to score his first career NHL goal, stepping out of the penalty box and converting a breakaway on Linus Ullmark with just 27 seconds left in OT. Clarke is up to four points in eight games for the Kings this season, as he's had trouble keeping a regular spot in the lineup when he's been up with the big club. Saturday's performance could propel him into consistent ice time.

Pouliot will be recalled from AHL Texas after Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) sustained an injury in Saturday's game versus the Oilers, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Pouliot has spent all season with AHL Texas. The 30-year-old is among the Stars' more experienced defensemen in the minors, so it makes sense that he'll get the call. Last year with the Sharks, Pouliot posted two assists over eight contests.

Fehervary suffered a lower-body injury during Saturday's game against Montreal and will miss the remainder of the contest.

Fehervary entered Saturday's action with two goals, 12 points, 112 hits and 71 blocks in 46 appearances this season. If he misses Tuesday's game against New Jersey, Alexander Alexeyev might draw into the lineup for the first time since Jan. 20.

Harris (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Capitals, Arpon Basu of The Athletic reports.

Harris will miss his third straight game with the injury. The 23-year-old defenseman is still considered day-to-day, but it's unclear when he might be ready to play again. The Canadiens' next game is Wednesday versus the Sabres.

Van Riemsdyk (illness) will play Saturday versus Montreal, per Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post.

Van Riemsdyk missed Washington's past four contests. He has eight assists, a minus-11 rating and 12 PIM in 40 games in 2023-24. Van Riemsdyk is projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Joel Edmundson.

Hakanpaa suffered an upper-body injury during Saturday's game against Edmonton.

Hakanpaa entered the contest with two goals, 10 points, 33 PIM, 155 hits and 110 blocks over 54 outings in 2023-24. If Hakanpaa and Nils Lundkvist (concussion) are unavailable for Monday's match versus Boston, Dallas will likely recall a defenseman from the minors.

York (upper body) will be in the lineup Saturday against New Jersey, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

Despite leaving Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to Toronto early, York will be available to play in Saturday's outdoor contest at MetLife Stadium. He has contributed six goals, 18 points and 96 blocked shots across 55 appearances this campaign.

Gudbranson (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Saturday versus San Jose, according to Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch.

Gudbranson will be good to go despite tweaking something during Friday's practice. He has picked up 54 hits, 114 blocked shots and 15 points across 48 appearances this season.

Sanderson (lower body) is slated to return Saturday versus Chicago.

Sanderson, who missed the Senators' last three contests, has seven goals and 24 points in 47 outings in 2023-24. He's projected to play alongside Artem Zub (lower body), who will also draw back into the lineup. Jacob Bernard-Docker will be a healthy scratch Saturday.

Zub (lower body) is expected to play Saturday versus Chicago, according to TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Zub, who missed the past two games, is projected to be back alongside Jake Sanderson (lower body) in Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old Zub has three goals, 18 points, 68 blocked shots and 79 hits in 40 outings this season.
