  • Noah Philp C | CAR

    Hurricanes' Noah Philp: Off IR, on waivers

    Philp (concussion) was put on waivers Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. The move implies Philp is also no longer in the concussion protocol or injured reserve.

    Philp hasn't played since Jan. 6. He has two goals, three points and 30 hits in 17 outings between Edmonton and Carolina this season. The 27-year-old hasn't played in the minors this campaign, but he will presumably report to AHL Chicago if he goes unclaimed.

  • Flames' Blake Coleman: Won't return before break

    Coleman (upper body) will not be available until after the Olympic break, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Wednesday.

    Coleman has already been out of action for the Flames' last eight games and now will be unavailable for at least four more. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran forward was on pace to challenge for the 40-point threshold after coming up just one tally shy of that mark last year. At this point, Coleman's 2023-24 campaign (54 points in 78 games) seems to be the exception, rather than the rule.

  • Paul Cotter C | NJ

    Devils' Paul Cotter: Struggling in January

    Cotter's point drought reached 18 games in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Cotter hasn't gotten on the scoresheet in January, coming up empty in 10 games since he was scratched three times to begin the month. The 26-year-old forward is confined to a fourth-line role for now, and with Maxim Tsyplakov getting acquired in a trade with the Islanders on Tuesday, Cotter's playing time could decrease. For the season, Cotter has just 10 points, 44 shots on net, 131 hits and a minus-13 rating over 50 appearances.

  • Jack Hughes C | NJ

    Devils' Jack Hughes: Adds two more helpers

    Hughes logged two assists and seven shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Hughes has been a big playmaker lately, earning a goal and 14 assists over his last 14 games. The 24-year-old center is up to 36 points (13 on the power play), 128 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 35 appearances this season. Hughes can shoot the puck, but he's shooting a mere 2.2 percent in January and just 9.4 percent on the year, numbers that are bound to improve over the rest of the campaign.

  • Jordan Kyrou C | STL

    Blues' Jordan Kyrou: Listed as day-to-day

    Kyrou (upper body) is day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup against Florida.

    It's still unclear if Kyrou will play against the Panthers on Thursday, but the 27-year-old winger may have avoided a significant injury after getting hurt in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Dallas. Over the last eight games, Kyrou had three goals, four assists and 21 shots on net. An update on his status could come after Thursday's morning skate.

  • Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Finds twine Tuesday

    Danault scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

    Danault has scored twice over the last four games after starting the year without scoring in 43 appearances. He's up to 12 points, 67 shots, 36 hits, 25 blocked shots and 18 PIM across 47 outings between the Canadiens and the Kings. Danault is playing a bottom-six role for Montreal and likely won't be much of a factor in fantasy.

  • Jake Evans C | MON

    Canadiens' Jake Evans: Wins it in overtime

    Evans scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

    Evans has a point in each of the last two games. The 29-year-old is looking more like himself now, supplying a little depth scoring to go with defensive play in a bottom-six role, though he often sees more ice time than that usage would suggest. He's up to six goals, 12 points, 41 shots on net, 46 hits, 28 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 39 appearances.

  • Kings' Samuel Helenius: Pots goal in win

    Helenius scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Helenius has a goal and two assists over his last three games. The 23-year-old forward opened the scoring Tuesday exactly halfway through the contest. Helenius is up to two goals, four points, 13 shots on net, 55 hits and 17 PIM over 24 outings. He may be at risk of losing playing time to Kenny Connors, who is expected to debut at some point during the Kings' road trip.

  • Ross Colton C | COL

    Avalanche's Ross Colton: Ruled out for Wednesday

    Colton (lower body) will not play in Wednesday's road clash with the Senators, per Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

    While Colton will miss his third consecutive game Wednesday, Colorado is hopeful that he will return at some point during the remaining two matchups in the team's road trip. Overall, the 29-year-old winger has been a solid secondary scorer for the Avalanche with 20 points with 20 points and 115 shots on net to go with 99 hits and 20 blocks through 48 games this season. His next chance to take the ice is Thursday's road matchup in Montreal.

  • Devils' Nico Hischier: Scores vs. Winnipeg

    Hischier scored a goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

    Hischier has found the back of the net in two of his last three outings, and the 27-year-old center continues to find ways to make an impact for New Jersey. He has eight points (five goals, three assists) in his last nine outings.
