Kaiser (illness) is expected to play against Winnipeg on Saturday, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Kaiser participated in the morning skate, indicating he is ready to return from a one-game absence. He has supplied four goals, eight points, 65 shots on net, 86 blocked shots and 50 hits through 54 appearances this season. Kaiser will probably replace Louis Crevier in Saturday's lineup.

Murphy (illness) is slated to play Saturday versus Winnipeg, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Murphy missed Thursday's 5-2 win over Boston due to the illness. He has two goals, 19 points, 48 PIM, 114 hits and 156 blocks in 65 outings in 2024-25. Murphy is projected to serve on the second pairing alongside Alec Martinez.

Broberg (personal) won't play against Seattle on Saturday, per Chris Pinkert of the Blues' official site.

Broberg will miss at least one game but could be ready to play against Utah on Tuesday in the Blues' regular-season finale. He has produced eight goals, 29 points, 97 shots on net and 98 blocked shots across 67 appearances this season. Matt Kessel will replace Broberg in Saturday's lineup.

Raddysh logged an assist in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Raddysh ended a four-game point drought with the helper on Anthony Cirelli's tally 1:01 into the contest. The Lightning have stuck with seven defensemen late in the season, allowing Raddysh to stay in the lineup. The 29-year-old has produced 36 points, 104 shots on net, 66 blocked shots, 37 hits and a plus-9 rating over 70 appearances.

Holl recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

Holl got on the scoresheet for the first time in three months, ending a 37-game point drought. While he's been a regular in the Red Wings' lineup, he's been limited to third-pairing duties most of the time. The defenseman has just six points, 36 shots on net, 33 hits, 74 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 71 appearances.

Lagesson logged an assist and two hits in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Lightning.

The Red Wings sat Jeff Petry in the second half of a back-to-back, allowing Lagesson to make just his third appearance since the start of January. The helper was Lagesson's first point at the NHL level this season, as he's mostly served as a healthy scratch. He's added four shots on net, five hits, six blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over five appearances. Lagesson will be a free agent this offseason and may have to take a two-way contract to stay in North America.

Struble logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Senators.

Struble snapped a seven-game point drought with the helper. Since Kaiden Guhle returned from a quadriceps injury, Struble has been on the third pairing and has done enough to keep Arber Xhekaj out of the lineup when all Montreal defensemen have been available. Struble is at 13 points, 47 shots on net, 117 hits, 54 blocked shots, 52 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 53 contests this season.

Marino (upper body) didn't accompany Utah on the team's season-ending three-game road trip, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports Saturday.

Marino could miss the remainder of the regular season if he doesn't join the team on the road. He will sit out his third straight game versus Dallas on Saturday after taking a puck to the face in last Saturday's 4-1 win over Winnipeg. Marino may conclude the 2024-25 campaign with one goal, 13 assists, 29 shots on net and 46 blocked shots in 35 appearances.

Zub notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

Zub has three helpers over his last eight outings, and he's added a plus-6 rating and 16 blocked shots in that span. The shutdown defender is at 13 points, 56 shots on net, 114 blocks, 57 hits and a plus-4 rating through 54 contests. While his offense isn't that impressive, his defensive play keeps him in the Senators' top four.

Sanderson logged an assist, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Canadiens.

This was Sanderson's 100th career helper, a mark that took him just shy of three seasons to achieve. He has 125 points in 234 career contests. The defenseman has elevated his offense significantly in 2024-25 with 11 goals, 44 assists, 28 power-play points, 188 shots on net, 162 blocked shots and a minus-12 rating over 78 appearances.
