    Bennett has 24 goals, 50 points, 74 PIM and 109 hits in 65 outings with Florida in 2025-26. Bennett's slated exit from the lineup is set to coincide with Anton Lundell (undisclosed) returning after a one-game absence.

  • Senators' Michael Amadio: Nets game-winner Saturday

    Amadio scored a goal Saturday in a 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Amadio went high glove on a 2-on-1 in the second period for a goal that stood as the winner. He has five points, including three goals, in six games in March. Amadio has 11 goals, 16 assists and 83 shots in 65 games this season in a third-line role.

  • Shane Pinto C | OTT

    Senators' Shane Pinto: Seven points in last five games

    Pinto put up two assists in a 2-0 win over the Ducks on Saturday.

    Both were primary assists; one came while shorthanded. Pinto has picked up his pace over the last five games, putting up seven points (two goals, five assists) and 14 shots. He has 17 goals and 19 assists in 55 games this campaign. Pinto is one point away from equaling his career scoring mark of 37 points, which he set in 70 games last regular season.

  • Ross Colton C | COL

    Avalanche's Ross Colton: Not playing Saturday

    Colton (upper body) won't be in the lineup against Winnipeg on Saturday.

    Colton will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has collected eight goals, 23 points, 137 shots on net and 137 hits across 60 appearances this season.

  • Bobby McMann C | SEA

    Kraken's Bobby McMann: Good to play Saturday

    McMann (not injury related) is set to play against Vancouver on Saturday, per Sound of Hockey.

    McMann was acquired by Seattle from Toronto on March 6, but he's missed the Kraken's past three games while waiting for his visa paperwork to get approved. He has 19 goals and 32 points in 60 appearances in 2025-26. McMann is projected to serve on the top line alongside Matty Beniers and Jordan Eberle in his Kraken debut.

  • Blackhawks' Anton Frondell: Hits high mark for 18-year-old

    Frondell scored his 20th goal of the season in Djurgardens' 3-2 loss to Skelleftea in the SHL on Saturday.

    Per Scott Powers of The Athletic, Frondell is the first 18-year-old to hit the 20-goal mark in Sweden's top league since Daniel Sedin did it in 1998-99. That's elite company for Frondell, who ends the regular season with 20 goals and eight assists in 43 appearances. Given that level of production, Frondell looks ready to take his game to North America in 2026-27.

  • Red Wings' Michael Rasmussen: Out for at least one week

    Rasmussen (undisclosed) will be unavailable for at least one week, per Taylor Baird of NHL.com on Saturday.

    It's unclear when Rasmussen will be available to return to the lineup. Detroit may dress 11 forwards and seven defenders in Saturday's matchup against Dallas due to multiple injuries to the forward group. Rasmussen has six goals, 14 points, 64 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 62 hits through 61 outings this season.

  • J.T. Miller C | NYR

    Rangers' J.T. Miller: Removed from IR

    Miller (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

    Following a five-game absence, Miller appears ready to return to the lineup against Minnesota on Saturday. He will probably occupy a middle-six role and see time on the power play. Miller has accounted for 14 goals, 38 points, 110 shots on net and 104 hits across 51 appearances this season.

  • David Kampf C | WAS

    Capitals' David Kampf: Still not eligible to play

    Kampf (not injury related) will remain out of the lineup Saturday versus Boston, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

    Kampf has still not received his work visa and will miss his fifth straight game since he was dealt from Vancouver on March 6. The grinder had two goals and four assists in 38 games with the Canucks prior to his trade.

  • Panthers' Anton Lundell: Back in action for Sunday

    Lundell (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Sunday against Seattle, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

    Lundell missed Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over Columbus due to an injury. The talented center has seen a big increase in his time on ice, going from averaging 16:43 in the 2024-25 regular season to 19:10 this campaign. Most of that has to do with the season-ending injury Aleksander Barkov (knee) suffered in training camp, but it also helps that at the age of 24, Lundell is maturing with an increased role. He has 17 goals and 43 points in 2025-26 and is just two points away from tying his career high in points.
