Jesper Fast - Out again Saturday Fat (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Blues, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

With Fast and Martin Necas (upper body) both out, Brendan Lemieux and Vasily Ponomarev are expected to remain in the lineup Saturday. The Hurricanes' next game is Thursday versus the Ducks.

Stefan Noesen - Game-time decision Noesen (illness) will be a game-time decision Saturday versus St. Louis, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Impact According to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal, Vasily Ponomarev is likely to play in Saturday's contest, so Tony DeAngelo could be a healthy scratch against the Blues. Noesen sat out Friday's 6-2 win over Washington because of an illness. He has 10 goals, 23 points, 48 shots on net and 44 hits in 38 games this season.

Antti Raanta - Set to start Saturday Raanta is expected to start at home against St. Louis on Saturday, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.
Impact Raanta stopped 18 of 21 shots in a 5-3 win over Montreal in his last start Dec. 28. He has a 7-5-1 record, 3.56 GAA and .855 save percentage in 15 appearances this season. The Blues, who rank 26th offensively this year with 2.86 goals per game, are a favorable matchup for Raanta.

Aaron Dell - Released from PTO Dell's professional tryout agreement with Carolina has ended, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Friday.
Impact Dell agreed to a one-year, AHL contract with Ontario on Saturday. Ontario is affiliated with the Kings, but he would need to sign a two-way deal before he could be recalled by LA. The 34-year-old goaltender has a 2.92 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 130 career NHL contests.

Teuvo Teravainen - Scoring drought continues Teravainen was held off the scoresheeet for the fifth straight game in Friday's 6-2 win over the Capitals.
Impact Despite skating on the first line with Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho -- who combined for a goal and five assists on the night -- Teravainen once again put up goose eggs across the board. It's important to note that Teravainen didn't see any power-play time either, which may be a sign that he's slowly slipping from coach Rod Brind'Amour's good graces. Feel free to bench him immediately, if you haven't already.
