R. Hintz - F

DAL

Roope Hintz (lower body) is questionable for Thursday's game.

Hintz didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, but he might still be an option despite that. “Roope, we’ll see what he’s feeling like in the morning,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said on Wednesday. “If he skates, he becomes a game-time decision. If he doesn’t skate, we’ll have to make that call tomorrow.” Hintz has a goal and five points in two games this season.

J. Benn - F

DAL

Jamie Benn (lower body) skated with the Stars on Wednesday.

Benn was also on the ice by himself Tuesday. He's progressing nicely, but he seemed to be practicing as an extra on Wednesday and isn't expected to be in the lineup Thursday. “He skated yesterday and he was sore. He skated again today and felt much better,” Stars coach Rick Bowness said on Wednesday. “It’s very doubtful he will play tomorrow, but at this point we’re hoping he will play this weekend.”

B. Byram - D

COL

Bowen Byram logged a team-high 21:14 minutes on Tuesday.

Byram was given just 11:19 minutes in his NHL debut, but just four games into his NHL career, he already seems to be getting a substantial role with the Avalanche. Byram has a lot of offensive upside, but he hasn't done much in that regard in the NHL just yet. He has an assist in four contests.

J. Roslovic - F

CBJ

Although Thursday's contest will be Jack Roslovic's first with the Blue Jackets, he's pretty familiar with his projected linemate Cam Atkinson.

Roslovic and Atkinson have done some training and skating together over the past offseasons. “We have a really good bond, and that's important,” Roslovic said. “Coming to a team that I'm familiar with so many other guys has made the transition pretty easy. It’s going to be great to play with him. I know what he's all about." Roslovic has spent his 180-game NHL career with the Jets, but he's a Columbus native, so he should become a fast fan favorite. The Blue Jackets acquired Roslovic from Winnipeg on Jan. 23.

C. Atkinson - F

CBJ

Cam Atkinson is hoping that his first goal of the season will help spark him.

Atkinson beat former teammate Sergei Bobrovsky to net the goal on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the Blue Jackets still suffered a 4-3 shootout loss to Florida. “I'll take anything I get,” Atkinson said. “Hopefully, that'll get the floodgates opening.” It's worth noting Atkinson is also now on a three-game point streak after being held off the scoresheet in his first four contests. Perhaps his season is turning around.

S. Lorentz - F

CAR

Steven Lorentz, who is set to make his NHL debut on Thursday, has had to fight against the odds to make it to this point.

Lorentz was a 12th round player in the OHL draft and later a seventh round pick in the 2015 NHL draft. He spent four years in the OHL and his first pro season in 2016-17 was spent primarily in the ECHL instead of the AHL. He's been okay with taking the logn road to the NHL though. “I never thought there was a rush to get to the next level,” Lorentz said. “I just wanted to enjoy every step. I took time to get some confidence in the pro game, playing with bigger players.” Now he's set to play alongside Jordan Staal on Thursday. It will be a tough game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

H. Jokiharju - D

Henri Jokiharju's undisclosed injury is to his upper body.

That's not much extra information, but Jokiharju's injury is not a significant one. He did miss Wednesday's practice, but it sounds like he still might be a possibility for Thursday's game. “It’s truly a moderating day,” Sabres coach Ralph Krueger said on Wednesday. “We’ll see how he is in the morning but we thought it was better for him to have another day of rest.”

C. Eakin - F

BUF

The Sabres have been a great team on the draw this season and Cody Eakin is part of the reason why.

The Sabres signed Eakin to a two-year, $4.5 million contract back in October. Through seven games he hasn't recorded a point with the Sabres, but one thing he has done is win faceoffs. He has an incredible 59.4% success rate on the draw this season. He might not be able to maintain that throughout the full 2020-21 campaign, but he should average out to be a positive in terms of faceoffs after winning an average of 51.2% of his draws from 2016-17 through 2019-20.
