Originally believed to be a possibility on Saturday, Scheifele will remain out of the lineup through the weekend and possibly beyond, as he has not resumed skating yet. Scheifele has been replaced on the top line by Adam Lowry, who will have a tough time replacing Scheifele's production as, before his injury, he had five points (2G / 3A) while riding a four-game point streak.

Duehr has semi-regularly been a fixture in the Flames lineup this season but has been placed on waivers Wednesday afternoon. In 19 games this season, Duehr has four points (1G / 3A) and 25 hits while averaging 7:58 time-on-ice.

Duehr will take the place of Jonathan Huberdeau, who will be out with an illness. Duehr has one goal and three assists in 18 games this season.

Vilardi is battling an illness, but is healthy enough to play on Tuesday evening against the New York Islanders. Vilardi has three points (1G / 2A) in his last four games along with 13 shots on goal.

Hellebuyck was between the pipes in the Jets last game, a 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, ending their season-best eight-game winning streak. Despite the loss, Hellebucyk, as per usual, was terrific, saving 34 of 36 shots (.944 SV%), continuing his tremendous season, and extending his 19-game stretch (14-3-2) where he has allowed fewer than three goals in all but one contest. The Jets will welcome back Kyle Connor on Tuesday and are -193 home favourites against a New York Islanders team that was defeated 5-0 by the Minnesota Wild last night.

Scheifele's injury does not appear overly concerning, but he has been placed on the injured reserve and will be out of the lineup until at least Sunday. Before his injury, Scheifele had five points (2G / 3A) while riding a four-game point streak. The Jets' depleted offence will get a boost on Tuesday as they welcome Kyle Connor Back from a five-week absence due to a knee injury.

Vilardi is battling an illness, but the Jets anticipate he will be ready to play on Tuesday evening against the New York Islanders. Vilardi has three points (1G / 2A) in his last four games along with 13 shots on goal.

Connor has been out of the lineup since December 10th, missing 16 games with a knee injury, but will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. Connor will provide an offensive boost for a Jets team, without Mark Scheifele (lower-body), that saw their season-best eight-game winning streak come to a halt in their last contest, a 2-0 shutout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Before his injury, Connor had 28 points (17G / 11A) and 102 shots on goal in 26 games.

Fagemo played four games with the Nashville Predators earlier this season, scoring one point (1G / 0A), but was later placed on waivers and claimed by the Kings. The 23-year-old has spent the entirety of the season since with the Ontario Reign of the AHL, scoring an impressive 33 points (20G / 13A) in 24 games.

Clague was the 51st overall pick of the Los Angeles Kings in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft and has 17 points (2G / 15A) in 31 games with the Rochester Americans of the AHL. Last season, he spent 33 games with the Sabres, scoring four points (0G / 4A). He was called up on Monday but was scratched for today's game against the Sharks.

Kupari played one game with the Manitoba Moose as part of a conditioning stint after being activated from IR earlier this week and will serve as a roster replacement for Mark Scheifele, who exited Thursday's game with a lower-body injury. Kupari was averaging 9:35 time-on-ice in the 14 games before his injury, tallying one point (0G / 1A) and a -3 plus/minus.

After exiting Tuesday's game to get some stitches, Scheifele was again unable to compete in Thursday's game, leaving with a lower-body injury in the second period after playing only 7:41 time-on-ice. Luckily for the Jets, Scheifele's injury does not appear to be serious and should not miss too much time for a team that is already without Kyle Connor. Before his injury, Scheifele had five points (2G / 3A) while riding a four-game point streak.
