Three roster moves have been made, and some players returning to the lineup are healthy and ready to play.
While there haven't been any major updates on Connor Bedard in a while, Taylor Raddysh and Joey Anderson will be back in action tonight.

Aside from Raddysh and Anderson, Rem Pitlick, who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins for a conditional 7th-round pick in 2026, also draws into the lineup tonight.
For a battered and bruised team in need of healthy bodies, this is welcome news.
Raddysh is a sorely missed forward in the lineup, who missed five games this season and tallied 20 goals in 2022-2023. With the Blackhawks this season, he has five goals and five assists.
After being called up from the AHL Rockford, Anderson has contributed five assists and been a plus-five on ice for the Blackhawks in 13 games.
Pitlick, like Anderson, has recently been playing with the Walkes-Barre Penguins in the AHL, a journeyman and will have a chance to show his best self on ice tonight against the red-hot Edmonton Oilers.
