Juraj Slafkovsky has an upper-body injury and will not be in the lineup against the Dallas Stars on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; NHLN, CITY, SNE, TVAS, BSSWX).
The forward, who was the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, scored his first NHL goal -- his first point in five games -- in a 6-2 win against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday. He is day to day.
Forward Rem Pitlick returns after being a healthy scratch for three games. He took Slafkovsky's place on the fourth line with Jake Evans and Mike Hoffman in the morning skate at Bell Centre.
"(Evans) came up to me and said, 'Let's go tonight,'" Pitlick said. "There's a comfort level there and I think we know each other's game to a degree, and I'm excited to be back with him."
Injured defenseman Joel Edmundson (lower-body) and forward Joel Armia (upper body) took part in the morning skate, though both remain out.
"It's a soft entrance because it's not intense," coach Martin St. Louis said. "There's not much body contact or touches with reads that they're going to make in a practice environment. So I think it's a good way to reintroduce them."
