Arshdeep Bains - Prevents shutout Friday Bains scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth.

Impact Bains cut the deficit to 2-1 at 4:17 of the third period, denying Karel Vejmelka a chance at consecutive shutouts. Bains has a goal and an assist over the last two games, though he remains in a fourth-line role. The 24-year-old winger is up to five points, 14 shots on net, 21 hits, 10 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 23 appearances this season.

Kevin Lankinen - Poor performance in loss Lankinen allowed three goals on 17 shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Mammoth. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Lankinen is now 0-4-1 with 17 goals allowed during his five-game losing streak. The Mammoth were able to pot a goal in each period against the 30-year-old netminder. For the season, Lankinen has slipped to 4-9-3 with a 3.45 GAA and an .881 save percentage across 16 appearances. While he's getting plenty of playing time, his performance is too risky in fantasy. Nikita Tolopilo is likely to draw a tough start Saturday at home versus the Wild.

Conor Garland - Set to return Friday Garland (upper body) will be in the lineup Friday versus the Mammoth, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Garland's return from a two-game absence will see him slot back into a top-six role. The 29-year-old winger will essentially replace Evander Kane (arm) in the lineup Friday. Garland had two points over four games prior to his most recent injury absence.

Pierre-Olivier Joseph - Won't play Friday Joseph (illness) is not expected to be available to face Utah on Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Joseph was unavailable to practice Thursday due to his illness and will now be on the shelf for Friday's matchup. In the 26-year-old blueliner's 11 outings this year, he has failed to find the back of the net, earning one helper, 10 shots and four hits. Joseph will face a tough turnaround to be ready to square off with Minnesota in the second game of the back-to-back Saturday.

Evander Kane - Doubtful Friday Kane (arm laceration) is unlikely to suit up versus Utah on Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Impact Kane suffered the injury Tuesday against Colorado when he was cut by a skate. The 34-year-old has five goals and nine assists with 50 hits in 27 games this season. Should Kane sit this one out, he could return as early as Saturday against Minnesota.

Kevin Lankinen - First goalie off Friday Lankinen was the first goalie to leave the ice Friday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports, indicating he'll be in goal versus the Mammoth at home Friday.

Impact Lankinen is stuck in a four-game losing streak and has secured just one victory in his last eight outings, posting a 1-4-3 record and 3.42 GAA. With Thatcher Demko (lower body) still on injured reserve, fantasy managers can likely expect Nikita Tolopilo to take the second half of the back-to-back at home versus Minnesota on Saturday. For now, Lankinen should continue to see the bulk of the workload at least until Demko is cleared to play.
