Seattle Kraken left wing Mason Marchment (undisclosed) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Red Wings. He missed Thursday's 9-4 loss to the Edmonton Oilers with an undisclosed injury. During the morning skate, Marchment was on the third line next to Berkly Catton and Frederick Gaudreau. Jani Nyman is projected to make room for Marchment in the lineup. In 23 outings this season, Marchment has contributed two goals and nine assists, while recording 34 hits. However, he enters Saturday's contest with a three-game point drought. Marchment has a chance to end his dry spell in a matchup against a team that has allowed at least three goals in eight consecutive games.

Minnesota Wild forward Danila Yurov (undisclosed) will be back in action on Saturday against the Nashville Predators, returning from a two-game absence. He is projected to rejoin Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello on the first line. Meanwhile, Ryan Hartman will drop to the fourth line, with Ben Jones sitting as a healthy scratch. Yurov has fit in quite well on the top line, notching five points (one goal, four assists) over his last seven appearances. The Russian rookie has managed seven points (three goals, four assists) in 21 games for the season overall. Minnesota's top line gets a juicy matchup on Saturday against the NHL's leakiest defense.

Carolina Hurricanes center Jesperi Kotkaniemi (ankle) was removed from Injured Reserve on Saturday and will be in contention to play against the Nashville Predators. Kotkaniemi has missed nine games with an ankle injury. He is expected to replace Mark Jankowski on the fourth line. In 15 appearances this season, Kotkaniemi has recorded five points (two goals, three assists), a respectable total for a player who has averaged only 10:24 of ice time. Carolina also hopes to have defenseman K'Andre Miller (illness) back on Saturday after he missed Thursday's loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Ottawa Senators center Shane Pinto (lower body) will miss two weeks of action. He was injured in Thursday's loss to the New York Rangers and has been placed on Injured Reserve ahead of Saturday's matchup against the St. Louis Blues. In a corresponding move, Ottawa recalled Hayden Hodgson from the minors. Pinto has been Ottawa's best goal-scorer this season with 12 markers in 27 games. He has added eight assists. On Saturday, Ridly Greig will replace Pinto as the third-line center. While Greig has some offensive upside, fantasy managers certainly can't expect him to provide similar production to Pinto. Greig has recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) in 22 appearances.
