Scheifele has missed the Jets' previous six games as he dealt with a lower-body injury but will return to Winnipeg's lineup on Tuesday vs. Pittsburgh. The 30-year-old star centre will make a much-welcomed return as he currently leads the Jets in points with 14 goals and 41 points in 41 games played before his injury.
Ferraro left the Sharks' game a week ago vs. Los Angeles after just 14:02 due to an undisclosed injury and has been placed on the Injured Reserve Monday. The 25-year-old had been a key part of San Jose's blue line throughout the year, with his 14 points (1G/13A), 26 PIMs, 79 SOG, and -21 plus/minus.
Thrun was caught earlier in the week with a wrap around his shoulder and will be out Saturday as San Jose takes on Buffalo and has officially been placed on the Injured Reserve. The 22-year-old rookie defender has had his fair share of growing pains in his first season, with a goal, two assists, 28 SOG, four PIMs and a -7 plus/minus in 23 games played.

After receiving the night off on Thursday, Skinner will return to the crease on Saturday as the Oilers attempt to extend their franchise-best winning streak to 16 games. The entire Oilers' team has been firing on all cylinders, but Skinner has been their backbone, allowing two or fewer goals in 10 straight, posting a sensational .953 SV%. The Oilers last played the Nashville Predators on November 4th, a 5-2 loss with Jack Campbell between the pipes.
Vilardi has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but could return to the lineup on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 24-year-old Vilardi has three goals and has fired 15 shots on goal in his last five games.
Morrissey exited the Jets' last games with only 7:17 time-on-ice after blocking a shot but appears to be on the mend for a quick recovery after participating at practice on Friday. If Morrissey is unable to play on Saturday, the Jets' next game is not for another nine days. Neal Pionk replaced Morrissey on the top powerplay unit after Morrissey left the game.

Despite Vitek Vanecek winning his last two starts, including a roller-coaster 6-5 overtime win over the Vegas Golden Knights in the Devils' last game, the Devils will return to Daws between the pipes on Thursday night. Daws has dropped three straight games (0-3-0), including his worst performance of the season in his last outing, allowing six goals on 36 shots (.833 SV%) in a 6-2 loss to the Dallas Stars. The struggling Devils, losers of five of seven (2-4-1), are +140 road underdogs against a Carolina Hurricanes club that played last night, defeating the Boston Bruins 3-2.
Phillips will fill in for Louis Crevier, who will be a healthy scratch on Thursday. Reichel has no goals and five assists in 24 games this season.
Duehr last played for the Flames on January 16th, registering one hit in 7:48 time-on-ice. His call-up is likely in correspondence to Adam Ruzicka being placed on waivers on Wednesday afternoon.

Scheifele will miss his fifth straight game due to a lower-body injury despite being a full participant at the last two Jets' practices. Before his injury, Scheifele had five points (2G / 3A) while riding a four-game point streak. His next opportunity to return to the lineup will be on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Skinner will start for the fifth straight game as the red-hot Oilers host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. The Oilers are riding a franchise-best 13-game winning streak and are sizeable -349 home favourites against a Blue Jackets squad that has lost four of their last five (1-3-1). The entire Oilers' roster has worked in tandem during their unprecedented winning streak, but Skinner has been the team's backbone, allowing two or fewer goals in nine of his last 10 outings (10-0-0), posting a remarkable .947 SV%.
Ferraro was limited to only 14:02 time-on-ice before exiting Monday's game against the Los Angeles Kings with an undisclosed injury. Calen Addison will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Rangers.
