Montreal Canadiens right winger Ivan Demidov scored and assisted one time each in a 4-1 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday. The rookie had his second multi-point game in his last three games and now has 16 goals and 40 assists in 72 games played this season. Demidov is having a great year and is battling for the Calder trophy with Matthew Schaefer and Beckett Sennecke.

Winnipeg Jets center Gabriel Vilardi had one goal and one assist in a 4-2 victory over the best team in the NHL, the Colorado Avalanche, on Saturday. He got the scoring started just 3:51 into the first period, and then assisted on Cole Perfetti's goal later in the third period. The Canadian forward is currently riding a four-game point streak and has 28 goals and 62 points this year.

Seattle Kraken forward Shane Wright (undisclosed) won't finish Saturday's tilt against the Buffalo Sabres. The team ruled him out for the rest of the game midway through the second period. Wright was also hurt in Thursday's win over Tampa Bay and may have already been in some discomfort before the puck dropped on Saturday. The 22-year-old had an assist on Thursday, bringing his total to 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in 71 games. He hasn't missed any games this season, but Wright may now need to take some time off to heal after being limited in back-to-back games.

Calgary Flames forward Connor Zary (upper body) won't be part of the lineup on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. The 24-year-old returned to practice on Friday but will miss a fourth consecutive game. Zary's exit from the lineup allowed Tyson Gross to make his NHL debut last weekend. In Saturday's matchup, we will see another new face among the forward group, with Brennan Othmann ready to make his team debut. The Flames acquired Othmann from the New York Rangers on March 6. Although the 23-year-old has found some offensive success in the AHL, Othmann hasn't been productive in the big league, recording one goal and zero assists in 17 outings this season.
