Line Change
Strome will draw back into the Blackhawks lineup on Saturday.

Beauvillier will be a healthy scratch on Saturday.
With Brock Nelson and Casey Cizikas returning to the lineup, someone has to sit. Head coach Barry Trotz said Beauviller will serve as the healthy scratch and added that "others can take it as a message." Beauvillier has zero points in his last 13 games.

MacDonald will draw back into the Avalanche lineup on Wednesday.

Sandin is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks with a lower-body damage.
Sandin's MRI revealed no structural damage, so he won't be out as long as originally feared. Head coach Sheldon Keefe told reporters on Monday that the young blueline is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks.
The Maple Leafs have placed Rasmus Sandin (lower-body) on IR.
Sandin left Saturday's game vs. the Jets after a knee-on-knee collision with Neal Pionk. The Jets' defenseman was suspended for two games for the play but it looks like Sandin could miss an extended period of time. The Maple Leafs recalled Alex Biega and Kristiāns Rubīns from the AHL to help replace Sandin.
Carlsson will draw into the Blue Jackets lineup on Sunday.
The Blues have recalled Charlie Lindgren from Springfield (AHL).
Jordan Binnington was added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list, so Lindgren will join the Blues in Tampa and is expected to serve as Ville Husso's backup.
Tuch (shoulder) returned to the ice on Monday but is still at least a few weeks away from his Sabres debut.
Tuch underwent shoulder surgery in June and his original timetable was six months. That would have him back after the Christmas break, which is a few weeks away. Tuch appears to be on schedule for a late-December or early-January debut.
Line Change
Strome will be a healthy scratch on Friday.
Kampf (upper-body) will be a game-time decision on Friday.
Kampf left Wednesday's game after getting hurt on his first shift on a hit from Rasmus Kupari. Kampf was able to participate in Thursday's practice but remains a game-time decision on Friday.
