Fabbro (lower body) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt against Utah, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Fabbro will miss his second straight game. He has four goals, five assists, 51 hits and 88 blocked shots across 54 contests this season. He could return as early as Monday versus Los Angeles.

Nazar had a goal, an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

Nazar assisted Ryan Donato's goal in the first period and also evened things up late in the second frame with a tip-in, giving him eight goals on the season. Nazar has now cracked the scoresheet in back-to-back games, something he hadn't achieved since Jan. 29 and Jan. 30. With this two-point performance, the 22-year-old has set a new career-high mark in points with 27 -- he notched 26 points in 53 games last season. He's also just four goals away from matching his career-best output in that category as well.

DeBrusk recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

This is the fourth time this season DeBrusk has posted a point streak of at least three games, and the 29-year-old winger continues to be one of the few fantasy viable options on the Canucks roster. He's up to 32 points (14 goals, 18 assists) in 61 games, putting him on pace to reach the 40-point plateau for the fifth consecutive campaign.

Sasson scored an empty-net goal and added an even-strength assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Sasson scored a goal for the first time since Jan. 19 and also recorded his first multi-point effort since Nov. 26, when he had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 win over the Ducks. Sasson is having a career-best season in the 2025-26 campaign. He has 11 goals and 14 points through 52 games.

Boeser scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Friday's 6-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Boeser came through when the Canucks needed him the most with a pair of third-period goals. He gave Vancouver a 4-3 lead with a power-play tally at the 2:40 mark and later closed out the scoring with an empty-netter with 16 seconds left. Boeser, who has scored three times in his last two appearances and notched his first multi-goal effort since Nov. 3, is up to 15 goals on the season. He's on pace to hit the 20-goal plateau for a third consecutive campaign.

Faulk is slated to play in New Jersey on Sunday. Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Faulk was dealt from St. Louis to Detroit on Friday and will meet the Red Wings in New Jersey. He had 11 goals, 21 assists, 102 blocked shots and 49 hits across 61 appearances with St. Louis before the trade.

Vasilevskiy was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, according to Sports TV host Julie Stewart-Binks, indicating he will defend the road net against Toronto on Saturday.

Vasilevskiy has gone 0-3-0 in his last three outings while surrendering 12 goals on 64 shots. He has a 28-10-3 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.28 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 41 appearances. Toronto is tied for 14th in the league with 3.16 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Werenski (Illness) will return to action against Utah on Saturday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Following a three-game absence, Werenski will return to the lineup after recovering from a stomach bug. He has amassed 20 goals, 65 points, 195 shots on net and 68 blocked shots across 54 appearances this season.

Marchment (lower body) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday versus Utah, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Marchment sustained the injury in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Panthers, but all the test results returned negative. He has 10 goals and 17 points in 19 games since being traded from Seattle earlier in the season. Marchment should see first-line time alongside Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko and see action on the first power-play unit.

Jarry stopped 26 of 31 shots in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Jarry made his first start since Feb. 4, when he conceded four goals and made 21 saves in a loss to the Flames. It marked his fourth straight outing without a win while protecting the Oilers' crease, going 0-3-0 with a 5.71 GAA and .812 save percentage over that stretch while allowing at least four goals each time. Connor Ingram could start to play a bit more regularly in the near future, given Jarry's recent struggles.
