Bogosian is eligible to come off of IR whenever he is healthy, this move created a roster spot for Ben Jones to be recalled from Iowa (AHL) as insurance in case Joel Eriksson Ek can't play on Saturday.
Joel Eriksson Ek suffered an undisclosed injury on Thursday and is questionable to play Saturday. With Jones getting called up, it suggests that Eriksson Ek won't play and Jones will draw in as the No.4 centre.
Dowling appeared in two games during his call-up but was a healthy scratch vs. the Sabres on Thursday. His demotion suggests that Noah Laba will be back in the Rangers' lineup on Saturday.
With Spencer Knight and Arvid Soderblom both dealing with illnesses, Berezhnoy's call-up suggests that neither of them travelled to Nashville for Saturday's game. So look for either Berezhnoy to make his NHL debut or for Drew Commesso to start for a second night in a row.
Slavin has missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury, but he's expected to suit up for his sixth game of the season on Saturday. Slavin will replace Joel Nystrom, who was assigned to Chicago (AHL) on Friday.
Konecny suffered an upper-body injury in Thursday's loss to the Maple Leafs and it will keep him out of the lineup on Saturday. Matvei Michkov will move up to the Flyers' top line to replace Konecny, who is considered day-to-day.
Stolarz has been out since November 11th, but is getting close to a return to the Maple Leafs crease. Joseph Woll and Dennis Hildeby have performed well in his absence, falling just 2.85 goals per game, the eighth-best mark in the NHL since November 12th.
McCabe has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but was back on the ice for Saturday's morning skate. He did not take part in line rushes, which suggests he won't play, but he's still considered a game-time decision.
Nylander will return after missing the last six games, replacing Calle Jarnkrok. Nylander will be back on the Maple Leafs' second line with John Tavares and Matias Maccelli and on PP2. Nylander returns after posting just nine points (3G / 6A) in 12 games in December.
Struble will be a healthy scratch on Saturday. Struble will come out of the Canadiens lineup on Saturday with Kaiden Guhle returning from a length absence. Struble will likely serve as the Canadiens' seventh defneseman moving forward while they're healthy.
Guhle has been sidelined since October 16th, but he'll replace Jayden Struble in the lineup on Saturday. Guhle has only appeared in six games this season, tallying one goal and one assist while averaging 19:14 TOI/gm.
Jensen was a healthy scratch during the Senators' loss in Colorado on Thursday, but he will replace Nikolas Matinpalo in the lineup on Saturday. Jensen will be reunited with Thomas Chabot on the Senators' second-pairing.
Matinpalo re-entered the lineup on Thursday and was a plus-1 in 19:40 TOI in a game where the Senators lost 8-2, but he'll come out of the lineup for Saturday's game vs. the Panthers. Nick Jensen will come back into the lineup to replace him.
