The Blue Jackets continue to get hit hard by injuries and on Saturday they'll be without their captain. Foligno's name has been swirling on the trade market, so perhaps this is more "asset management" than "upper-body injury."




Bjork has been in the lineup for the last six games but will be replaced by Jake DeBrusk (COVID-19) in the lineup on Monday. Bjork has been held pointless with a minus-3 rating in his last five games.

Khudobin already had COVID-19, so the Stars are hoping that it's a false positive. Regardless, with Khudobin unavailable, Jake Oettinger will start Saturday in Carolina.


Knight, who was the No.13 overall pick in 2019, finished his sophomore season with Boston College going 16-4-1 with a 2.18 GAA and .932 SV% and three shutouts in 21 games. The 6-foot-3, 192 lbs. netminder ranked fifth in the nation in SV% and tied for fifth in wins, the most among sophomore goaltenders.







Sanford missed Saturday's game in San Jose due to COVID-19 protocol but has since had two negative COVID tests and was back on the ice for Monday's morning skate. Sanford is expected to replace Sammy Blais on the third line.
