Ekman-Larsson has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury but is expected to travel on the Coyotes upcoming road trip. Monitor his status prior to Saturday's game in Boston.
Carlo has returned home to attend to a personal matter, so he won't play Saturday but is expected to re-join them in Detroit for Sunday's game. John Moore is expected to replace Carlo vs. the Coyotes.
Ekman-Larsson won't play Tuesday vs. the Oilers which means the Coyotes will lean heavily on Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski for another game. Ekman-Larsson is day-to-day.
Ekman-Larsson was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. the Kings and will be a game-time decision tonight vs. the Blackhawks. Kyle Capobianco was recalled from the AHL and could play if O.E.L can't play on Saturday.
With Cody Glass and William Karlsson both still out, Roy will return to the fourth line on Friday. Roy has two goals and three assists (five points) in 14 NHL games this season.
Domi missed Wednesday's practice and was listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game, but he said he will play following their optional morning skate. Domi has cooled off recently, posting just one assist in his last seven games.
Benning has been out since December 1st and was recently recalled from his conditioning stint with the Bakersfield Condors (AHL). With Benning returning to the lineup, Caleb Jones will sit and Benning will skate with Kris Russell.
Jarnkrok missed Tuesday's practice and is questionable for play on Wednesday. Consider Jarnkrok a game-time decision and look for Yakov Trenin to remain in the lineup if Jarnkrok can't play.
Domi missed practice the last two days and will be a game-time decision on Thursday. Monitor his status during the Canadiens' morning skate in Buffalo.
Benning has not suited up for the Oilers since December 1st and picked up one assist in three games with Bakersfield during his conditioning stint. Benning's return to the team doesn't necessarily mean that he'll play on Wednesday, but he comes back up with five assists in 24 games this season.
Muzzin missed the last 10 games with a broken foot but is expected to play Monday in Nashville. Muzzin was recently recalled from a one-game conditioning stint with the Marlies and skated on the top-pair with Justin Holl in Sunday's practice. He will likely log massive minutes while Morgan Rielly is out and comes into play with 13 points (3G / 10A) in 38 games this season.
Matthews attended the All-Star weekend but did not play, but anticipates playing Monday vs. the Predators. Following Sunday's practice, Matthews said his wrist "isn't 100 percent" but will play anyways. Matthews enters play with 15 goals and eight assists (23 points) in his last 15 games.
Rielly underwent a CT scan on Monday and it revealed a fractured foot, that will sideline the Maple Leafs’ defenseman for at least two months. This is a huge blow for a Toronto team, that is already without Jake Muzzin with the same type of injury. Rasmus Sandin was called up from the Toronto Marlies (AHL) this morning to replace Rielly moving forward.
Muzzin is week-to-week with a broken foot and his move to IR opened up a roster spot for the Maple Leafs to activate Andreas Johnsson, who is listed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game.
McCabe missed Thursday's game in St. Louis but will replace Colin Miller on Saturday afternoon vs. the Canucks. McCabe has just two goals and five assists (seven points) in 41 games this season.
McCabe will miss Tuesday's practice and will miss at least one game with an upper-body injury. With McCabe out, Lawrence Pilut was called up from Rochester (AHL) and will likely make his season debut against the Blues.
Tomas Nosek is expecting the birth of his child, so Roy will replace him on the Golden Knights' fourth-line on Thursday. It will be his first NHL game since December 2nd and the 6-foot-4, 208 lbs. centre has one goal and two assists in seven games this year.
Roy has spent most of his season in the AHL, scoring six goals with 10 assists (16 points) in 22 games. During his brief time in the NHL, he has amassed one goal and two assists in seven games.
Laughton missed the last seven games with a groin injury but he will play Tuesday in Los Angeles. Laughton will likely replace Andy Andreoff and skate on the third line and will look to build on the nine points (4G / 5A) he amassed in his first 19 games.
