Milic will defend the road net in Saturday's preseason game against Edmonton, according to Jamie Thomas of the Jets' official site.

Milic registered a 20-13-6 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 41 appearances for AHL Manitoba in the 2025-26 regular season. With Connor Hellebuyck suspended and awaiting a resolution to his trade request, the 23-year-old Milic will compete in camp to begin the 2026-27 campaign as Stuart Skinner's backup.

Jensen (lower body) didn't participate in Saturday's scrimmage, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Jensen left Friday's practice early, but he returned to the ice for Saturday's session. The 35-year-old blueliner compiled four goals, 17 points, 36 shots on net, 38 hits and 65 blocked shots across 61 regular-season games with Ottawa in 2025-26. The veteran defenseman signed a one-year deal with the Ducks in the offseason. If he stays healthy, he'll likely see top-four minutes for an Anaheim defense corps that is thin on NHL experience.

Schmidt (undisclosed) was a full participant in Saturday's practice, Catherine Bogart of the Mammoth's official site reports.

Schmidt wore a non-contact jersey in the first two on-ice training sessions of camp, but he appears to be fine now. He contributed five goals, 22 points, 86 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and 78 hits in 82 games during the 2025-26 regular season.

Soderblom will guard the road goal in Saturday's preseason matchup against Minnesota, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Soderblom is in line to play the entire game. He went 8-13-3 with one shutout, a 3,80 GAA and an .880 save percentage in 26 outings during the 2025-26 regular season.

Terry (hip) is slated to be out for another 2-3 months, according to Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune on Saturday.

Terry underwent hip surgery in June and received a recovery timeline of 5-6 months. He still seems to be on track for a November return, but the exact date remains unclear. Terry compiled 19 goals, 57 points and 161 shots on net in 61 games during the 2025-26 regular season. Once he's ready to play, he will likely occupy a top-line role.

Binnington will patrol the home crease in Saturday's exhibition game against Dallas, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Binnington posted a 13-20-7 record with one shutout, a 3.33 GAA and an .873 save percentage across 41 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. The 33-year-old Binnington will play the first two periods of Saturday's contest, and Georgi Romanov will take over between the pipes in the third frame.

Hill is expected to defend the road net against the Kings on Saturday in preseason action, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Hill posted a 10-9-6 record with one shutout, a 3.04 GAA and an .871 save percentage over 27 appearances during the 2025-26 regular season. Hill and Carter Hart are expected to get two starts apiece in the preseason ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.

Schmidt (illness) was assigned to WHL Victoria on Saturday.

Schmidt had been dealing with the flu, but he will probably be back on the ice soon. The 19-year-old forward amassed 51 goals and 100 points in 72 WHL regular-season games between Vancouver and Seattle in 2025-26. Dallas selected Schmidt with the No. 94 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.

Dumoulin (undisclosed) rejoined his teammates at Friday's practice, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Dumoulin missed the opening day of training camp to undergo additional testing, but he received clearance and feels good to go. The 35-year-old defender recorded two goals, 17 points, 61 shots on net, 89 blocked shots, and 36 hits over 82 outings in the 2025-26 regular season.

Hinds (lower body) is expected to practice Saturday.

Hinds had been limited by a lower-body injury to begin camp. Despite the missed time, the 23-year-old defenseman is still in position to compete for an NHL roster spot. He played in six regular-season games in 2025-26 as well as nine playoff contests, and he'll likely be in the mix to play on the third pairing.
