Jack McBain - Slated to play Wednesday McBain (illness) is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Avalanche.

Impact McBain missed Tuesday's practice session, but he looks to be feeling well enough to play a day later. He's listed on the second line as a winger alongside Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther. McBain has 19 points in 57 appearances this season.

Michael Carcone - Under the weather Carcone (illness) won't play Wednesday versus the Avalanche.

Impact Carcone will miss at least one game coming out of the Olympic break. He put up four points over seven contests prior to the break. The 29-year-old forward will try to be healthy for Friday's game versus the Wild.

Alexander Kerfoot - Removed from IR Kerfoot (upper body) was activated off injured reserve in the lead-up to Wednesday's clash with Colorado, per the NHL media site.

Impact Kerfoot will suit up for the first time since Jan. 9, when he suffered his upper-body problem. Injuries have limited the 31-year-old center to just nine appearances this year, in which he notched just one point while averaging 10:20 of ice time. Even with his return to the lineup, Kerfoot is unlikely to offer significant fantasy value, considering he is filling a fourth-line role and won't see much power-play time.

Logan Cooley - Activated Wednesday Cooley (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Colorado, per the NHL media site.

Impact Cooley is set to take on a second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. The center has been on the shelf since Dec. 5 against the Canucks due to his lower-body injury, a stretch of 28 games on injured reserve. Prior to getting hurt, Cooley was stuck in a four-game pointless streak, but he could still challenge for the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds now that his injury woes are behind him.

Karel Vejmelka - Set to face Colorado Vejmelka is expected to start against Colorado on Wednesday, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Impact Vejmelka joined Team Czechia for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but he didn't play in the tournament. His most recent start was Feb. 4 when he turned aside 29 of 30 shots en route to a 4-1 win over Detroit. Vejmelka has a 27-14-2 record, 2.58 GAA and .902 save percentage in 44 outings with Utah in 2025-26. The Avalanche lead the league in goals per game with 3.84. That comfortably surpasses the next best team, which is Tampa Bay at 3.55 goals per game.

Dmitri Simashev - Sent back to minors Simashev was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Wednesday.

Impact Simashev has logged 24 games in the NHL this year, recording one assist, eight hits and 23 shots while averaging 15:28 of ice time. This likely won't be the last time the 21-year-old blueliner is called up from the minors, though he is unlikely to play enough to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

Jack McBain - Questionable for Wednesday's game McBain was absent from Tuesday's afternoon skate with an illness, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Impact Head coach Andre Tourigny stated that McBain is sick, which likely puts his status for Wednesday's home game against Colorado up in the air. The 26-year-old forward was one of three players not on the ice for the Mammoth, who were also missing top-line forwards Clayton Keller and Nick Schmaltz. McBain will likely need to log a limited practice or more Wednesday morning to have a shot at playing in Utah's opening game out of the Olympic break.

Impact Connauton hasn't played in an NHL game since 2021-22, when he played in 39 regular-season games for the Panthers and Flyers. The veteran blueliner was on the Mammoth roster during the Olympic break but will now rejoin the Roadrunners. Given his lack of NHL opportunities, Connauton figures to be a non-factor in fantasy contests.

Impact Thonrton is sitting in a crowded goalie room that includes Hunter Miska and Kyle Keyser, so his opportunities to play will likely be limited. Still, it's good news for Thornton that his injury concerns appear to be behind him.
