Glass missed the last eight games with a concussion but will draw into the Golden Knights lineup tonight in Anaheim. Glass will likely replace Valentin Zykov and has four goals and seven assists (11 points) in 32 games.

Ryan Getzlaf and Jakob Silfverberg are out with the flu and Rickard Rakell has an upper-body injury, paving the way for Sprong to appear in his 90th career NHL game on Sunday. The 22-year-old has 18 points (7G / 11A) in 24 AHL games this season and had 19 points (14G / 5A) in 47 NHL games last year.

Haula has missed the last 15 games with a knee injury but is expected to centre the third line on Saturday. Haula, who has eight goals and three assists (11 points) in 16 games, will skate with Ryan Dzingel and Martin Necas at even strength and should see PP2 time as well.

Dowling has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Alexander Radulov, who is out with a lower-body injury. Dowling will start on the top-line with Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn and comes in with five points (3G / 2A) in 22 games this season.

Markstrom allowed three goals on 30 shots in the Canucks' loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday. Markstrom posted an impressive 43-save shutout last Thursday but has since lost three in a row while allowing a combined 10 goals on 94 shots (.894 SV%). One of those losses came against the Golden Knights, who he'll face again tonight--he gave up five goals on 39 shots in a 6-3 loss.

Noesen started the season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) where he had 22 points (14G / 8A) in 22 games and then signed an NHL deal with the Penguins. He appeared in just six games with Pittsburgh before being waived on Wednesday. He was claimed by the Sharks, in an attempt to boost their fourth line. He has 46 points (25G / 21A) in 165 career NHL games with the Ducks, Devils and Penguins.

Russo was called up over a week ago but sat as a reserve defenseman for four games. He swaps spots with Jordan Gross so that Russo doesn't sit for too long. The 26-year-old has eight points (1G / 7A) in 23 AHL games this season.

Allen allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Blues loss in Buffalo last Tuesday. Jordan Binnington started the last three games but Allen will get a shot at the Oilers on Wednesday night. The 29-year-old stopped 32 of 34 shots in a 5-2 win in his only start against the Oilers in 2019-20.

Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots in the Red Wings' win in Montreal on Saturday. Bernier was absolutely brilliant and earned back-to-back wins for the first time since November 10th/12th. As scary as it might be to start the Red Wings goalie right now, the matchup looks OK. Columbus has lost seven of their last eight road games (1-4-3) while scoring just 2.00 goals per game and they played last night, so the struggling Elvis Merzlikins will be between the pipes for them.
