Goalie Start
Bobrovsky will start Saturday in Ottawa.
Bjornfot (undisclosed) is expected to be back in the Kings lineup on Saturday.

Kulikov will draw into the Wild lineup on Saturday.
Kulikov will replace Jon Merrill on the Wild blueline after sitting out on Thursday. Kulikov has scored four goals with 15 assists (19 points) in 60 games this season.
Boqvist (upper-body) will be back in the Blue Jackets lineup on Friday.

Goalie Start
Knight will start Thursday in Florida.
The Devils have recalled A.J. Greer from Utica (AHL).
It's unclear if Greer will draw into the Devils lineup on Wednesday but he's been recalled with 40 points (18G / 22A) in 46 AHL games this season. He appeared in two games with the Devils in mid-January.
The Panthers acquired Egor Korshkov and a 2022 sixth-round pick in a three-team trade with the Blue Jackets and Hurricanes.
The Sharks acquired Anthony Bitetto from the Rangers for Nick Merkley.
The Panthers are placing Aaron Ekblad (lower-body) on LTIR.
Moving Ekblad to LTIR opens up $7.5M in cap relief ahead of Monday's trade deadline. Ekblad will miss the rest of the regular season but should be ready to go for the first round of the playoffs. Losing Ekblad will hurt down the stretch but they are expected to use the cap-space to add Robert Hagg from Buffalo and could add more before the deadline.
Ekblad is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.
Ekblad left Thursday's game and was unable to put any weight on his right leg, so overall this is positive news. Head coach Andrew Brunette said that they will know more once the swelling goes down. Ben Chiarot will meet the Panthers in Montreal and will likely make his debut, replacing Ekblad in the lineup. Mackenzie Weegar is expected to take his spot on PP1.
The Panthers have acquired Connor Bunnaman, Claude Giroux, German Rubtsov and a 2024 fifth-round pick from the Flyers for Owen Tippett, a 2024 first-round pick and a 2023 third-round pick.
Ekblad left Friday's game with a lower-body injury but "nothing structural," will be re-evaluated on Saturday.
Ekblad could not put any weight on his right leg as he was helped off of the ice in the first period of Friday's game in Anaheim. Given Ekblad's long history of serious injuries, there was cause for concern. Head coach Andrew Brunette told reporters post-games that there was no structural damage and it was "positive news tonight and we'll go from there." All-in-all, it sounds like Ekblad avoided another serious injury and won't be sidelined long-term.

Bobrovsky (illness) did not make his scheduled start on Tuesday.
Bobrovsky was announced as the Panthers' starter on Monday but woke up feeling a little "under the weather" which is why Spencer Knight ended up getting the call in San Jose. Head coach Andrew Brunette said there is "no concern" regarding Bobrovsky's health.
Goalie Start
Knight listed as Panthers starter in San Jose.
Bjornfot (undisclosed) will not play on Tuesday.
It's unclear when Bjornfot picked up an injury but he will not play Tuesday vs. the Avalanche. The injuries continue to pile up for the Kings, who will replace Bjornfot with Christian Wolanin.
