NHL Player News

Marino did not finish Saturday's game versus the Jets after taking a puck to the face, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Head coach Andre Tourigny had no update on Marino's status, but that's not uncommon for injuries that occur late in the third period. Marino can be considered day-to-day until further information is available. Utah's next game is Tuesday at home versus the Kraken, and if Marino can't play, then Robert Bortuzzo or Nick DeSimone would enter the lineup.

Sanderson produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 3-0 win over Florida.

Sanderson netted his 11th goal of the campaign before helping out on a Drake Batherson power-play tally in the first period. After being held to one point over the last four games of March, the 22-year-old Sanderson has found the back of the net in three straight contests and has added a helper since the calendar flipped to April. For the season, the left-shot blueliner has accounted for 42 helpers, 53 points, 172 shots on net and a minus-14 rating while averaging 24:25 of ice time over 75 appearances. Sanderson will have an opportunity to add to his career-best totals against the Blue Jackets on Sunday.

Crotty was called up from AHL Iowa on Saturday.

After Jake Middleton (upper body) was hurt Friday versus the Islanders, Crotty will give Minnesota a depth option for the back end. Don't expect Crotty to play, as it'll likely be Declan Chisholm drawing into the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Stars.

Trouba (lower body) will sit out Saturday's matchup against Vancouver.

Trouba played in two straight games after missing last Sunday's 3-2 loss to Toronto because of a lower-body injury. He has one goal, 13 assists, 106 shots on net, 201 blocked shots and 156 hits in 73 appearances between the Ducks and Rangers this season. Pavel Mintyukov will replace Trouba in Saturday's lineup.

Desharnais (upper body) won't play against Seattle on Saturday, per Max Miller of NHL.com.

Desharnais will miss his fifth straight game, and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup. He has contributed three assists, 87 hits, 83 blocked shots and 45 PIM in 51 contests with Vancouver, Pittsburgh and San Jose this season.

Schuldt (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Kraken, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

It'll be the fourth game that Schuldt will miss with the injury. The 29-year-old defenseman has no points and a minus-1 rating in six games with the Sharks this season.

Myers (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Anaheim and is doubtful for Sunday's matchup versus Vegas, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports.

Myers has produced six goals, 24 points, 87 shots on net, 125 blocked shots and 87 hits in 71 appearances this season. His availability for Vancouver's upcoming road trip, which begins Monday against Dallas, is unclear. Due to Myers' absence, Victor Mancini will play against the Ducks on Saturday.

Per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site, Kulikov (upper body) could return versus Buffalo on April 12, according to coach Paul Maurice on Saturday.

Kulikov has already missed seven games and is poised to miss four more, but he should be completely healthy in time for the start of the playoffs. He has four goals, nine assists, 110 hits and 70 blocked shots over 68 contests this season.

Pulock recorded an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

Pulock's offense has improved recently -- he has a goal and three helpers over his last six outings. The defenseman helped out on Simon Holmstrom's go-ahead goal in this contest, which stood as the game-winner. Pulock is up to 22 points, 90 shots on net, 86 hits, 149 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 68 appearances. His numbers are nearly identical to what he did in 58 games last season, and he remains a steady depth blueliner for fantasy.

DeAngelo notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 3-1 win over the Wild.

DeAngelo had gone scoreless in his last two outings following a five-game point streak. The 29-year-old got back on the scoresheet by setting up a Noah Dobson tally in the third period. DeAngelo is at 17 points, 60 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating across 28 appearances. He's got enough offense and a power-play role, so fantasy managers should have no trouble counting on him over the last couple of weeks of the season.
