Nick Bjugstad - Expected to play Saturday Bjugstad (upper body) will be taken off injured reserve and play Saturday against the Kings, per Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports.

Impact Bjugstad missed Utah's opening eight games because of the injury. He had 22 goals and 45 points in 76 appearances with the Coyotes in 2023-24. Now that Bjugstad is healthy, he'll likely serve in a middle-six capacity.

Kailer Yamamoto - Waived by Utah Yamamoto was placed on waivers by Utah on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Ian Cole - Logs helper in loss Cole provided an assist, four hits and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact The helper was Cole's first point since he logged an assist Opening Night. The 35-year-old defenseman was paired with Maveric Lamoureux in this contest, who made his NHL debut. Due to numerous injuries on Utah's blue line, Cole's spot in the lineup should be safe for most of the year. The veteran has two helpers, four shots on net, 11 hits, 21 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-1 rating through eight appearances.

Matias Maccelli - Provides assist in loss Maccelli notched an assist in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Maccelli has two helpers over his last three games and a total of four assists through eight contests this season. The 24-year-old winger saw 13:10 of ice time, the second game in a row he's exceeded 13 minutes. With Utah's offense going stagnant -- three goals in the last three games -- a lineup shuffle could be on the way, which could get Maccelli back into a middle-six spot. The playmaker offers minimal fantasy value in his current fourth-line role, though he has racked up 13 shots on net for the year.

Lawson Crouse - Breaks up shutout bid Crouse scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM and logged three hits in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Crouse scored with 4:32 left in the game, breaking up Justus Annunen's shutout bid. The goal snapped a five-game point drought for Crouse, who has maintained a middle-six role despite his quiet stretch. He has three goals, one assist, 15 shots on net, six hits, eight blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over eight appearances.
