Parssinen was recalled from AHL Hartford on Saturday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Parssinen will return to the Rangers for his third stint with the team across three seasons in a corresponding move to Cole Beaudoin being sent to Hartford. The 25-year-old Parssinen posted a goal and an assist across three games to open the new season with AHL Hartford. He'll likely occupy a depth role for the Rangers moving forward.

Beaudoin was sent back to AHL Hartford on Saturday, per Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Beaudoin logged two appearances for the Rangers before he was sent back to Hartford on Saturday. The 20-year-old Beaudoin will likely see more playing time with the Rangers later in the 2026-27 regular season, but until then, he'll look to build upon the goal and four assists he posted across two games with AHL Hartford before his call up.

Dubois (illness) will not participate in practice on Saturday, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Dubois is currently dealing with an illness and won't hit the ice for practice. It remains to be seen whether or not the 28-year-old center is at risk of missing Sunday's home clash against the Kraken, so his status will be monitored closely over the next 24 hours. He's a point per game so far in 2026-27 with a goal and three assists, so if he's to miss Sunday's game, it will be a tough break for the Capitals. If he can't go against Seattle, either Ivan Miroshnichenko or Ethen Frank will likely enter the lineup.

Horvat (upper body) is expected to be in Saturday's lineup for Saturday's home clash with the Lightning, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Horvat appears to be healthy after he received an illegal check to the head from Frank Nazar in Thursday's clash. The 31-year-old Horvathas put together a strong start to the 2026-27 campaign, posting four goals, five points, 14 shots on net and nine hits across four appearances. Barring any setbacks prior to Saturday's puck drop, the Islanders' captain will likely stay in the lineup as the team's top line center for the matchup with Tampa Bay.

Teravainen (undisclosed) will be in the lineup against Carolina on Saturday, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.

Teravainen's return from a one-game absence coincides with Frank Nazar's exit from the lineup because of a two-game suspension. The 32-year-old Teravainen has two assists and two shots on goal in three appearances this season.

Dube (neck) will be out of action for at least eight weeks, the team announced Saturday.

Dube sustained a neck injury in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose. He has contributed one goal, one shot on net and three hits in three appearances this season. Due to Dube's absence, Zach Dean will play against Columbus on Saturday.

Catton scored a goal, dished out an assist, posted a plus-2 rating, fired four shots on net and recorded two hits in Friday's 6-3 win over Detroit.

Catton secured his second two-point game of the new season Friday by scoring Seattle's first goal of the night and following it up with a primary helper late in the middle stanza. The 20-year-old forward is off to a strong start across five games, where he has two goals, four points and 11 shots on net. After a rookie campaign where he compiled seven goals and 17 points over 66 regular-season outings, Catton appears primed to take a step forward in his sophomore campaign. He'll likely continue to center one of Seattle's two middle-six lines moving forward. He's an intriguing stash option in deep fantasy leagues.

Meyers potted a goal, registered two assists, posted a plus-3 rating, put three shots on net, served two PIM and dished out three hits in Friday's 6-3 win over the Red Wings.

Meyers posted his name on the scoresheet for the first three times of the new season in Friday's contest. He picked up a pair of secondary helpers on the goals scored by his new linemate Frederick Gaudreau before later finding the back of the net himself late in the second period. The 27-year-old Meyers will look to build on the career year he posted in 2025-26, where he compiled seven goals, 15 points, 61 shots on net and 66 hits across 52 regular-season contests. He's currently off the fantasy radar, but with the first three-point night of his career in the books, Meyers could change that with a string of strong performances.

Gaudreau tallied two goals, posted a plus-2 rating, placed two shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Friday's 6-3 win over Detroit.

Gaudreau struck the back of the net twice across three minutes early in Friday's second period, where he showcased a strong connection with his new linemates Ryan Winterton and Ben Meyers. The 33-year-old Gaudreau is up to three goals, seven shots on net, three hits and five blocked shots across five outings to open the new season. He's just two seasons removed from an 18-goal, 37-point campaign with the Wild, and the veteran forward should have a safe role as the team's fourth-line center while looking to get back on track. Gaudreau is best left on waivers for now, but with a couple more performances similar to Friday's outing, he'll be a noteworthy waiver-wire pickup in deep fantasy leagues.

Avon scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Coachella Valley's 6-3 win over San Diego on Friday.

Avon has earned five points and four shots on net over three games this season. He's never come particularly close to a point-per-game pace in the AHL before, so it's unlikely he'll keep up this scoring rate all year. Avon will probably spend all of 2026-27 in the AHL.
