M. Grigorenko - C

CBJ

Mikhail Grigorenko will start Saturday's game alongside Pierre-Luc Dubois and Oliver Bjorkstrand again.

Coach John Tortorella wants to keep that combination intact following Thursday's season opener, but expects to make changes on the other lines following a 3-1 loss to the Predators. The trio of Grigorenko, Dubois and Bjorkstrand didn't have a point in Thursday's loss.

A. Bjork - F

BOS

Anders Bjork may move up to Boston's top line on Saturday afternoon against New Jersey.

Coach Bruce Cassidy said on Friday that there's a chance Bjork plays on the right side with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand if Craig Smith (lower body) isn't available to play. Bjork had one shot and minus-1 rating over 13:56 of ice time in Thursday's season opener versus the Devils.

Giants signed RHP Jay Jackson to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Jackson returned to Japan at the start of last season before finishing the year at the Reds' alternate site. He'll make $1 million if on the big league roster, with the chance to earn more in incentives.

D. Watson - QB

HOU

Breaking his Twitter silence Friday, Deshaun Watson tweeted, "I was on 2 then I took it to 10."

It was Watson's first tweet of the new year, and one would have to assume it's referring to his frustration level in Houston. Watson was reportedly extremely irked at the Texans' process that led the team to hire Patriots exec Nick Caserio as its new GM. Watson was kept out of the loop in that hiring, and the Texans have been trying to perform damage control ever since, with CEO Cal McNair stating he wants Watson's input on the new head coach. It may be too little, too late in Watson's eyes. He's also said to be frustrated with the team's insensitivity to social justice. Former owner Bob McNair, who has since passed, was in hot water with racist comments a few years back. Watson could look to force his way out of town this offseason, but we would think there's long way to go until we get to that point.

J. Halak - G

BOS

Jaroslav Halak will be in net for Saturday's afternoon match against New Jersey.

Tuukka Rask played in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Devils. Coach Bruce Cassidy said last weekend that Halak would get his first start of the season during this road trip. He went 18-6-6 last year with a 2.39 goals-against average and .919 save percentage in 31 games played.

J. Nurkic - C

POR

Jusuf Nurkic (right wrist fracture) out will be out for at least eight weeks after undergoing surgery, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

It's not quite the broken wrist that was originally reported, but either way, this is a tough blow for Nurkic and the Blazers as the center missed much of last season after he broke his leg in the 2018-19 season. And with Nurk out, there will be 23 minutes and a starting spot up for grabs with Enes Kanter likely to be the biggest beneficiary here. Pick him up immediately if he's still available. Kanter is already averaging a near double-double off the bench this year.

Kyle Okposo will miss a second straight game on Friday because of a lower-body injury.

Okposo is listed as day-to-day after he was injured during training camp. He didn't play in Wednesday's season opener either.
