Even when it looks like nothing will go wrong on the night for Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones, an innocent shot happens to bounce off him.

Jacob MacDonald is normally a defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche. However, on Saturday he will be suiting up as a forward. This is because of injuries to the Colorado forward core.

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Matt Roy is set to carry a much heavier load with Drew Doughty and Sean Walker both out with knee injuries.

Filip Hronek Set To Re-Enter Lineup On Wednesday

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Filip Hronek will likely re-enter the lineup for Wednesday's trip to Washington, having been a healthy scratch for two games.
