Werenski has missed the last two games with a lower-body injury but will be back on the top pair with Seth Jones and top PP unit on Saturday. Werenski has had a slow start to the season, scoring one goal with three assists in his first 12 games.
Beauvillier was originally listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's game but was ruled out after the morning skate. That means either Leo Komarov will remain in the lineup or he'll be sent down after clearing waivers and someone like Kieffer Bellows will be recalled.
Bailey was hurt Thursday vs. the Flames and will miss at least a week with an upper-body injury. Look for Loui Eriksson to draw into the Canucks lineup for him on Sunday.
Dubois left Friday's practice early but head coach Paul Maurice thinks he's "probable" for Saturday's rematch vs. the Senators. Dubois' Jets career is off to a slow start but he has a terrific matchup to get his first point on Saturday.
Helm was hurt midway through Thursday's game in Nashville and will not be available for Saturday's rematch. With Helm out, Valtteri Filppula will likely draw back into the lineup.
Necas was on the ice on Friday and head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that they are "hopeful" that he will play on Saturday. Necas enjoyed a solid start to the season, scoring one goal with four assists and a plus-6 rating in eight games.
Beauvillier was on the ice for Friday's practice and Leo Komarov was placed on waivers, seemingly paving the way for Beauvillier to be activated from IR and play Saturday. The Islanders have gone 2-2-3 in the seven games without Beauvillier.
Cirelli left Thursday's game in Florida with an apparent arm injury. Head coach Jon Cooper said that he doesn't believe that Cirelli's injury is long-term but his status for Saturday's rematch remains unclear.
Stamkos was added to the COVID-19 reserve list on Friday but he took to Twitter to say that he believes it's a false positive. Even if that's the case, he has to follow NHL's COVID-19 protocol until he's cleared to play, so don't expect to see him on Saturday.
Dubnyk was scratched from Thursday's game with a lower-body injury and is expected to miss a few more games, including Saturday's afternoon tilt with the Golden Knights. With Dubnyk out, Martin Jones is expected to get the start and Alexei Melnichuk will be his backup again.
Murray left Thursday's game in Winnipeg with an upper-body injury and will miss the rematch on Saturday. The Senators did not give a timetable on how long they expect Matt Murray to be out, but Marcus Hogberg will start Saturday with Filip Gustavsson coming up to be his backup.
