Szuber was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Saturday.

Szuber has been a healthy scratch in Utah's last three games. He hasn't logged any playing time in the NHL yet this season. The 23-year-old blueliner has 10 goals and 25 points in 50 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Rasmussen (undisclosed) will be unavailable for at least one week, per Taylor Baird of NHL.com on Saturday.

It's unclear when Rasmussen will be available to return to the lineup. Detroit may dress 11 forwards and seven defenders in Saturday's matchup against Dallas due to multiple injuries to the forward group. Rasmussen has six goals, 14 points, 64 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 62 hits through 61 outings this season.

Brandsegg-Nygard (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt in Dallas, Taylor Baird of NHL.com reports.

Brandsegg-Nygard is day-to-day due to the injury and could return to action as early as Monday versus Calgary. The 19-year-old, who was selected 15th overall in the 2024 Draft, has one assist in 12 NHL games this season. The Red Wings recalled John Leonard in a corresponding move.

Miller (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Following a five-game absence, Miller appears ready to return to the lineup against Minnesota on Saturday. He will probably occupy a middle-six role and see time on the power play. Miller has accounted for 14 goals, 38 points, 110 shots on net and 104 hits across 51 appearances this season.

Kampf (not injury related) will remain out of the lineup Saturday versus Boston, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Kampf has still not received his work visa and will miss his fifth straight game since he was dealt from Vancouver on March 6. The grinder had two goals and four assists in 38 games with the Canucks prior to his trade.

Thompson will patrol the home crease against Boston on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Thompson has one win in his last four outings (1-3-0) while allowing 11 goals on 99 shots. However, he has gone 22-19-4 this campaign with two shutouts, a 2.44 GAA and a .911 save percentage through 45 appearances. Boston sits 11th in the league with 3.29 goals per game this season.

Lyon will guard the home goal against Toronto on Saturday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

Lyon has gone 18-8-3 with a pair of shutouts, a 2.65 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 31 appearances this season. The Maple Leafs will be missing their star center Auston Matthews, who is gone for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. Toronto is averaging 3.15 goals per game this season, good for 15th in the NHL.

Carlson (lower body) won't play against Ottawa on Saturday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Carlson will miss his 10th straight game due to an injury he sustained before the Olympic break. However, he is close to returning to action and could be an option for Sunday's contest against Montreal. Carlson has 10 goals, 46 points, 115 shots on net and 84 blocked shots in 55 appearances this season.

Husso will be between the visiting pipes against Ottawa on Saturday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Husso is 7-6-1 with a 3.08 GAA and an .896 save percentage over 14 appearances this season. He has seen action in six of the last 27 games for the Ducks, as the team has leaned heavily on No. 1 netminder Lukas Dostal. The Senators are generating 3.33 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign, which ranks ninth in the league.

Askarov (lower body) won't be an option to play in Saturday's road game against Montreal and Sunday's road matchup against Ottawa, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Askarov remains day-to-day and still with the team on the road, but it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He has posted a 19-17-3 record this season with a 3.56 GAA and an .886 save percentage through 40 appearances. Alex Nedeljkovic and Laurent Brossoit will handle the goaltending duties until Askarov is ready to play again.
