St. Louis Blues goaltender Thomas Greiss was on his game Friday, stopping 41 of 43 shots in a 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames.

Vegas Golden Knights forward Nicolas Roy (lower-body) will not travel with the team for their Saturday game in Edmonton. Roy has been deemed day-to-day by coach Bruce Cassidy.

Dallas Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood (upper-body) is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and is doubtful for Saturday's game against the New York Islanders.

Houston Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz is in the starting lineup on Saturday, batting seventh and playing left field in Game 2 of the World Series.

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado will catch Justin Verlander in Game 1 of the World Series.
