Schmid will start against the Red Wings on Tuesday.

With Adin Hill still sidelined with a lower-body injury, Schmid remains the go-to option for the Golden Knights, and he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 25-year-old Schmid has been serviceable when called upon, posting a 2.73 GAA and a .892 SV% in six games (5-1-0). The Golden Knights are 1-1-1 in their last three and enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable -192 home favorites against a Red Wings team with points in four of their last five (3-1-1).

Gadjovich (upper-body) will not travel on Florida's upcoming road trip.

Gadjovich has not played since suffering an upper-body injury on October 25th, and will miss at least three more games, as he will not travel on Florida's upcoming road trip. The 27-year-old Gadjovich had 30 hits and three points (0G / 3A) in 10 games this season before his injury.

New Jersey has signed Jacob Markstrom to a two-year extension worth $6 million AAV ($12M total).

The extension comes as a major vote of confidence for Markstrom, who has somewhat underperformed since joining the Devils ahead of the 2024-25 season. The 35-year-old netminder owns an impressive 28-18-6 record over parts of two seasons in New Jersey, but has posted just an .895 SV% along with a 2.67 GAA. The extension will take Markstrom through his age 38 season in 2027-28.

Beecher will draw back into Boston's lineup vs. Carolina on Saturday.

With Elias Lindholm (lower body) out week-to-week, Beecher will draw back into Boston's lineup on Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes. The 24-year-old Beecher has appeared in three games for Boston this season, averaging 12:31 time-on-ice and scoring one goal.

Marchand (personal) is expected to return to Florida's lineup on Saturday vs. Dallas.

A Panthers top-six that is already injury-depleted will likely welcome Marchand back into the lineup on Saturday, after he missed the team's previous game to tend to a personal matter. The 37-year-old Marchand is off to an excellent start in his first full season with the Panthers, recording 11 points (5G / 6A) in 10 games.

Markstrom will start in Colorado on Tuesday.

Given the Devils' eight-game winning streak, the team saw no need to rush Markstrom back into action, serving as the backup to Jake Allen in his return to the lineup on Sunday. That said, he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the Colorado Avalanche and hopes to build on the momentum his team built in his absence. The 35-year-old Markstrom has a 3.89 GAA and .845 SV% in three games this season (2-1-0). New Jersey enters the action as a +143 road underdog against a Colorado team amid a four-game losing skid (0-1-3).

Bjornfot has been reassigned to Charlotte (AHL) on Monday.

Bjornfot was drafted 22nd-overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 24-year-old has 15 points (1G / 14A) in 134 career NHL games but has been unable to establish a full-time presence at the NHL level, spending most of the previous five seasons either as a seventh defenseman or playing in the AHL.
