  • Oilers' John Klingberg: Not expected to play

    Klingberg (undisclosed) is not projected to be in the Oilers' lineup versus the Stars on Wednesday, Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site reports.

    Klingberg has been out for nearly all of March, and there's been no report of him returning to practice yet. That likely means he'll be out Thursday against the Kraken as well. Once Klingberg is healthy, he'll be a candidate for bottom-four minutes.

  • Bruins' Joonas Korpisalo: Tending twine against Anaheim

    Korpisalo was the first goalie off during Wednesday's morning skate, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Ahaheim.

    Korpisalo will return to the net for the fourth time in the Bruins' last seven games after Jeremy Swayman allowed seven goals on 23 shots during Sunday's loss to the Kings. Korpisalo will have a more favorable matchup, as the Ducks are averaging just 2.64 goals per game this year, which is tied for the fourth-worst mark in the NHL.

    Zadorov has returned to Boston due to a family matter, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

  • Predators' Kieffer Bellows: Placed on waivers

    Bellows was put on waivers by Nashville on Wednesday, per PuckPedia.

  • Stars' Jake Oettinger: Tending twine in Edmonton

    Oettinger will start Wednesday's road game against Edmonton, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

    Ducks' Sam Colangelo: Slated to return Wednesday

    Colangelo (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bruins, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

    Colangelo has missed the last five games due to an upper-body injury, but he should be back in action at home Wednesday. Over 20 appearances with the Ducks this year, he's logged six goals, an assist, 42 hits and 14 blocked shots while averaging 11:39 of ice time.

  • Capitals' Trevor van Riemsdyk: Reaches 20-point mark

    Van Riemsdyk produced an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Jets.
