Pionk missed Friday's practice and will be held out of the lineup on Saturday with what head coach Paul Maurice called "minor." With Pionk sidelined, Jordie Benn will draw back into the lineup.
Lowry has missed the last four games with a concussion that he suffered on April 22nd vs. the Maple Leafs. In Sunday's practice he skated in his familiar spot on the third line and looks like he'll be available for Monday's game in Ottawa. Lowry, who serves as more of a checking line centre, has tallied eight goals with 12 assists (20 points) in 46 games.
Lowry was forced to leave Thursday's game vs. the Maple Leafs after a high hit from Alex Galchenyuk. While he has not been diagnosed with a concussion, Lowry is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and will not be available for Saturday's rematch.
Bjugstad was considered questionable after missing Tuesday's practice and will not play vs. the Avalanche. Luckily for the Wild, they will get both Mats Zuccarello and Zach Parise back in the lineup.
Namestnikov was listed as questionable after missing Thursday's practice but was ruled out on Friday morning. Darren Helm is expected to return from a lower-body injury to replace Namestnikov in the lineup.
Namestnikov was missing from practice on Thursday and his status for Friday's game vs. Florida is uncertain. Evgeny Svechnikov skated in his spot yesterday, so he could make his season debut if Namestnikov is unavailable.
DeMelo has missed the first four games of the season to be with his wife for the birth of their child but is expected to make his season debut when the Jets return home on Saturday.
DeMelo did not travel to Toronto, so he will miss at least Monday's game and could miss the entire three-game road-trip. DeMelo is staying in Winnipeg to be with his wife for the birth of their child.
Toews is out with a medical issue with no timetable for his return. Moving him to LTIR means he will miss at least 24-days but he wasn't necessarily expected to return before that anyway.
DeMelo and his wife just had a baby so he will not play Thursday vs. the Flames. With DeMelo sidelined, Sami Niku will draw into the lineup.
In a statement, Toews said that he's been experiencing symptoms that have left him feeling "drained and lethargic." He is working with doctors to get a better understanding of his condition and will not join the Blackhawks until he "can get [his] health back to a place where feel [he] can perform at an elite level and help [his] team."
