Los Angeles Kings winger Warren Foegele (upper body) will skip a second consecutive contest on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. He exited the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks due to an upper-body injury. It has been a poor campaign for Foegele, who has recorded four goals and zero assists in 16 appearances. Jeff Malott has come into the lineup as Foegele's replacement, but he has zero fantasy value as a fourth-line grinder. Foegele is considered day-to-day and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Simon Benoit (personal) will miss Saturday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old will sit out his second game of the season for personal reasons. Benoit ranks second on his team with 34 blocks and fourth with 55 hits. Offensively, his contributions have been limited to two assists in 23 games. Philippe Myers will return to the Maple Leafs defense after spending five games as a healthy scratch. Myers has finished scoreless in 10 appearances this season and should not generate any fantasy interest.

Boston Bruins defenseman Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve ahead of Saturday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings. He sustained an undisclosed injury in Friday's loss to the New York Rangers and must now sit out at least one week of action. Recently, Jokiharju has played a larger role in the Bruins defense due to Charlie McAvoy's (face) absence. He logged a season-high 20:51 of ice time on Friday, posting one assist. By placing Jokiharju on Injured Reserve, the Bruins were able to recall Michael Callahan from the AHL. He will make his fourth appearance of the season against Detroit. Callahen does not hold any fantasy value.

Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha (upper body) is considered a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. He missed his first game of the season on Friday versus the New York Rangers. Zacha's injury came at a bad time for the Bruins, as David Pastrnak (undisclosed) was also forced to exit the lineup on Friday. In 2025-26, Zacha has been Boston's third-highest scorer behind Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie. He has totaled 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 25 games. However, Zacha has not been a great fantasy option lately, as he has finished five of his last seven appearances without any points.
