Acciari will miss his second straight game with an upper-body injury. With Acciari out, Sam Bennett made his Panthers' debut over the weekend and Lucas Wallmark centres the fourth line.
Jones has been a healthy scratch for the last five games but will replace Kris Russell in the lineup on Friday. Jones has contributed very little offensively this season, picking up no goals with just one assist in 17 games.
Jarry was forced to leave Monday's game vs. the Islanders with an upper-body injury and is now listed as day-to-day. With Jarry banged up, look for Casey DeSmith to start Thursday in Boston.
As hinted to on Wednesday, Dumba will return from a three-game absence on Thursday. The Wild managed to go 2-1-0 without Dumba but he'll provide a massive lift to their blueline vs. St. Louis. Dumba has been relatively quiet as of late but has accumulated 11 points (5G / 6A) in 26 games so far this season.
Dumba will miss his third straight game with a lower-body injury but the Wild said he may play Thursday. Brad Hunt will remain in the lineup and is expected to be on the top power-play unit.
Heinen was one of four Ducks' players that was added to the COVID-19 protocol list on Tuesday, putting Wednesday's game in jeopardy. With Heinen likely unavailable vs. the Wild, look for Max Comtois to draw back into the lineup.
