Thatcher Demko - Set to start ThursdayDemko is slated to start in Thursday's home game against San Jose, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

ImpactDemko has a 9-13-2 record, 3.36 GAA and .896 save percentage in 24 contests this season, but he's been doing much better lately. Over his last nine outings, he's posted a 6-3-0 record, 2.45 GAA and .920 save percentage. That said, Demko did allow four goals on 27 shots in a 4-3 loss to Vegas on Tuesday, so he'll be fighting to prevent that one bad showing from evolving into a new slump. Meanwhile, the Sharks are going into this game in the midst of a seven-game losing streak, which has brought them down to 19-37-15.

Logan Thompson - Expected to face FlamesThompson is slated to start on the road against Calgary on Thursday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

ImpactThompson, who returned from a lower-body injury and served as the backup Tuesday, will be making his first start since Feb. 9. He's 20-13-3 with a 2.66 GAA and a .914 save percentage in 36 outings this season. The Flames have the 17th-ranked offense with 3.14 goals per game.

Logan Thompson - Exits game in third periodThompson (undisclosed) went down the tunnel in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Flames, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

ImpactThompson stopped 37 of 39 shots but had to exit late in the third period, with Jonathan Quick stepping in to replace him. It's a bit concerning since Thompson was making his return from an injury he sustained Feb. 9. Per Gotz, it's unlikely Thompson will be available Saturday versus the Oilers.

Reilly Smith - Suffers lower-body injurySmith (lower body) didn't finish Thursday's game versus the Flames and is unlikely to play Saturday versus the Oilers, Ben Gotz of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

ImpactSmith wasn't available in the third period, and it appears he'll miss some time. Paul Cotter is likely to draw into the lineup to cover for Smith on Saturday and perhaps beyond, depending on the severity of the injury.

MARCH 23, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Keegan Kolesar - Not play ThursdayKolesar (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Flames.

ImpactKolesar is traveling with the team but continues to sit out. This will be his sixth straight absence, and with Nicolas Roy (lower body) returning to action Thursday, competition for playing time in a bottom-six role has increased while Kolesar has been out.

MARCH 23, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Christian Wolanin - Sustains lower-body injuryWolanin suffered a lower-body injury and won't return to Thursday's game versus the Sharks.

ImpactFresh off of signing a two-year contract extension, Wolanin was injured in the first period of Thursday's game. If he misses additional time, Guillaume Brisebois would likely rejoin the lineup.

MARCH 23, 2023•ROTOWIRE

Noah Juulsen - Out ThursdayJuulsen (lower body) will miss Thursday's game against San Jose, according to Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

ImpactJuulsen was also absent from Tuesday's contest due to the injury. He has no points, 43 hits and 16 blocks in 12 appearances this season. When Juulsen is ready to return, he might serve on the third pairing.
