Scott Wedgewood - Officially questionable to returnWedgewood is questionable to return to Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks with a lower-body injury.

ImpactWedgewood left the contest in the second period, though it's encouraging the team has left the door open for him to be available. This suggests he may not have suffered a serious injury. The 31-year-old was replaced in goal by Jake Oettinger, who is fresh off of returning from a lower-body injury that cost him nearly a month of action.

Scott Wedgewood - Suffers undisclosed injury SaturdayWedgewood sustained an undisclosed injury during Saturday's game against Chicago and exited the contest as a result, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

ImpactWedgewood saved 14 shots in 28:49 of ice time before leaving the match. Neither team had scored a goal before Jake Oettinger took his place in net. Wedgewood entered Saturday's action with a 12-4-3 record, 3.11 GAA and .895 save percentage in 19 outings this season. If he's not an option Tuesday versus LA, then Dallas might summon Matt Murray from AHL Texas.

Tyson Barrie - Won't play SaturdayBarrie (upper body) isn't available for Saturday's game against the Islanders, according to Nick Kieser of 102.5 ESPN Nashville.

ImpactBarrie has a goal and 11 points in 30 outings in 2023-24. He was last in the lineup Dec. 23. When he's ready to return, Barrie might challenge Luke Schenn for a spot on the third pairing, but the offensive defenseman might also spend some time as a healthy scratch.

Scott Wedgewood - Set to face BlackhawksWedgewood is expected to start against the Blackhawks on Saturday, according to Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

ImpactWedgewood has a 12-4-3 record, 3.11 GAA and .895 save percentage in 19 outings in 2023-24. He saved 21 of 23 shots in a 7-2 victory over Minnesota in his last start Wednesday. The Blackhawks rank 31st offensively this year with 2.29 goals per game and are playing without Connor Bedard (jaw), so this is an extremely favorable matchup for Wedgewood.

Juuse Saros - Protecting net versus IslandersSaros will guard the home goal versus the Islanders on Saturday.

ImpactSaros is in a rough patch -- he's gone 1-4-1 with a 4.32 GAA and an .852 save percentage over his last six games. The Islanders hadn't been all that good lately either, going 2-3-1 with 18 goals scored over their last six contests, so Saros may be in a good spot to bounce back.
