Byram did not play in the Avalanche's second half of their back-to-back series in Finland and was announced Tuesday that he would be out week-to-week with a lower-body injury. It is unfortunately the second straight season in which Colorado's highly touted 21-year-old will miss a significant chunk of the season due injury. He had five points (2G/3A) in his first 10 games of the season.
Bertuzzi has been out since the second game of the season when he broke his hand and was a pleasant face to see a return to Red Wings practice Tuesday. It was a tough loss for both the Red Wings and Bertuzzi after he put up his first 30/30 season last year finishing with 62 points (30G/32A) in 68 games in 2021-22. Prior to breaking his hand, he picked up one assist and four SOG in two games.
Greenway has been injured since the Wilds' first game of the season on October 20th due to an injured shoulder. The 25-year-old is coming off a 27-point season in 62 games in 2021-22 where he also picked up 69 PIMs.
Soderblom stopped 31 of 32 shots (.970 SV%) for his first victory of the season his last time out vs. Los Angeles. Soderblom has been a revelation for the Blackhawks since Alex Stalock went down (concussion) posting a .935 SV% and 2.37 GAA. He will take on the Winnipeg Jets who have won four of their last five contests.
Soderblom stopped 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%) in a hard-fought 3-1 loss to the Islanders his last time out. The rookie will be forced to man the Blackhawks' crease while Alex Stalock deals with a concussion. He has played well in limited time for Chicago, posting a .920 SV% and 3.1 GAA while still yet to get his first win of the season. He faces the LA Kings, who are coming off a 5-2 beatdown from the Dallas Stars.

Donato was a healthy scratch previously but will be back in the lineup Saturday.
Toninato was recalled Friday in a move that corresponds with Nikolaj Ehlers being placed on the injured reserve.
Greenway will make his season debut Thursday lining up alongside Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Foligno. The 25-year-old underwent offseason surgery on an upper-body injury and was expected to miss 5-10 games, making his return after three games a nice surprise for the struggling Wild.
Vlasic missed the first three games of the season with an undisclosed injury and has been sent to the AHL with Jake McCabe set to return to the lineup soon.
Bertuzzi left Saturday's game with an upper-body injury, believed to be his hand, and will miss at least one month. Filip Zadina will draw into the lineup to replace Bertuzzi on Monday, and Dominik Kubalik will skate on the top line with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond.
Bertuzzi left after logging 8:14 TOI and registering an assist and two shots on goal. The Red Wings were off on Sunday, so there was no update on his status, so consider him questionable to play Monday vs. the Kings.
Florida's prized young goaltender will take the crease for his first start of 2022-23. Signing a three-year, $13.5-million contract extension in the offseason, the 21-year-old will be looking to build off an up-and-down first full season in 2022-21, where he posted a .908 SV% and 2.79 GAA backing up the President Trophy winners.
