NHL Player News

Sissons (upper body) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Kings, according to Hannah Kirkell of Vegas Hockey Now.

Sissons missed 12 straight games before the Olympic break. Across 41 appearances this season, he's recorded three goals, three assists, 61 hits, 26 blocked shots and 15 PIM while averaging 11:48 of playing time.

Kerfoot (upper body) was activated off injured reserve in the lead-up to Wednesday's clash with Colorado, per the NHL media site.

Kerfoot will suit up for the first time since Jan. 9, when he suffered his upper-body problem. Injuries have limited the 31-year-old center to just nine appearances this year, in which he notched just one point while averaging 10:20 of ice time. Even with his return to the lineup, Kerfoot is unlikely to offer significant fantasy value, considering he is filling a fourth-line role and won't see much power-play time.

Dunne (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve Wednesday, per NHL media site.

Dunne hasn't played since Jan. 12 because of the injury. He has a goal and four points in 28 outings in 2025-26. Dunne will probably serve on the fourth line alongside Tyson Kozak and Beck Malenstyn against New Jersey on Wednesday.

Cooley (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Colorado, per the NHL media site.

Following a 28-game absence, Cooley is set to occupy a second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. Before getting hurt, Cooley didn't have a point in four straight games, but he could still challenge for the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds now that his injury is behind him.

Carlsson (thigh) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Oilers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Carlsson hasn't played since mid-January due to a thigh procedure, but he'll return to game action during the Ducks' first matchup following the Olympic break. Across 44 appearances this year, he's recorded 18 goals, 26 assists and 29 PIM while averaging 19:28 of ice time.

Granlund has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oilers due to an upper-body injury, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Granlund's upper-body injury is believed to be a short-term concern, but he'll be unavailable for the Ducks' first game following the Olympic break. Head coach Joel Quenneville said Wednesday that Granlund is expected to skate Thursday and could return to game action Friday against Winnipeg.

Rossi (lower body) will be taken off injured reserve and play Wednesday versus Winnipeg, per Canucks Insider.

Rossi has five goals and 15 points in 25 appearances between Minnesota and Vancouver in 2025-26. Rossi is poised to serve on the second line alongside Drew O'Connor and Brock Boeser (concussion). Aatu Raty and Max Sasson will probably be healthy scratches to accommodate the returns of Rossi and Boeser.

Savoie was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Wednesday.

Savoie has managed just one point in his previous six NHL outings while putting 11 shots on net. If the Oilers don't plan to suit up seven defensemen against Anaheim on Wednesday, Savoie will probably slot into the lineup.

McMichael (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

McMichael was placed on injured reserve at the end of January, but he should be back in action Wednesday against the Flyers, which is the Capitals' first game following the Olympic break. The 25-year-old has recorded eight goals, 23 assists, 30 hits and 30 blocked shots while averaging 17:03 of ice time over 55 appearances this season.

Henrique (undisclosed) will be activated off long-term injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's game in Anaheim, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Henrique hasn't played since Jan. 6 due to the injury. He has two goals and 10 points across 43 appearances in 2025-26. Henrique will probably occupy a bottom-six role while replacing Kasperi Kapanen (undisclosed) in the lineup.
