Tyson Barrie - Still out SaturdayBarrie (upper body) will not play Saturday versus the Capitals, Zach Gilchriest of the Predators' official site reports.

ImpactBarrie will miss his third straight game with the injury. The 32-year-old went into the holiday break on a four-game point drought and was occasionally scratched in December, so he may not have a guaranteed spot in the lineup once he's healthy again. Dante Fabbro and Luke Schenn continue to hold down spots on the third pairing in Barrie's absence.

Yaroslav Askarov - Tending twine against CapitalsAskarov will defend the road goal Saturday against Washington, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

ImpactAskarov stopped all six shots he faced across 16:40 of playing time after Juuse Saros was pulled in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Carolina. This will be the first NHL start of the season for Askarov, who stopped 31 shots in a 4-3 loss to Montreal on Jan. 12 during his debut with the Predators. Washington ranks 31st in the league this campaign with 2.30 goals per contest.

Jonatan Berggren - Relegated to AHLBerggren was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.

ImpactBerggren has been productive while with Detroit in limited action, as the 23-year-old has two goals and five points in nine NHL games. He has been averaging only 10:08 of ice time this season. Berggren was a regular last season with the Red Wings, scoring 15 goals and adding 13 assists in 67 games, but the Red Wings made numerous additions to their forward corps since the end of last season (including Alex DeBrincat and Patrick Kane), relegating Berggren to a smaller role at the NHL level -- when he played. Berggren had seven goals and 18 points in 19 AHL games before his recall.

Austin Czarnik - Dropped to minorsCzarnik was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Saturday.

ImpactCzarnik has chipped in one assist, 14 shots on goal and six blocked shots over 18 appearances with the Red Wings this season. Detroit also sent down Jonatan Berggren on Saturday because Joe Veleno (undisclosed) and Christian Fischer (upper body) are expected to return to the lineup Sunday against Boston.

ImpactLyon is coming off a 33-save effort in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over Nashville. In eight games this season, he has posted a 5-3-0 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .925 save percentage. Boston is tied for 18th in the league with 3.09 goals per contest this campaign.

Joe Veleno - Returns to action SundayVeleno (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup versus Boston on Sunday.

ImpactVeleno missed both games after the Christmas break. He has only one assist in his last six games, giving the center seven goals and 13 points in 34 contests. Veleno is expected to return to his role as a top-six forward, but his time on the power play may be limited as he received no time with the man-advantage in his last two games.
