NHL Player News

Danielson was loaned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Danielson has been a healthy scratch in three of Detroit's last four games. He has chipped in two assists, six shots on net, three blocked shots and 14 hits in 13 NHL appearances this season.

Poitras (nose) will be in the lineup against Florida on Sunday, per Scott McLaughlin of WEEI.

Poitras missed Thursday's 6-2 victory over Pittsburgh after suffering a broken nose in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over Vegas. He has contributed four goals, seven points, 14 shots on net, four blocked shots and nine hits in 12 appearances this season.

Horvat recorded two assists and put two shots on net in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey.

Horvat distributed the primary helper on Matthew Schaefer's goal late in the first period before late registering a secondary assist in the middle stanza. Overall, the 31-year-old Horvat is up to seven goals, 16 points, 49 shots on net and 28 hits across 16 outings this season. The Isles' captain is one of the more steady two-way forwards across the NHL, making him a viable fantasy option in all formats moving forward.

Lettieri was sent down to AHL Toronto on Saturday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.

Lettieri was optioned back to the AHL in a corresponding move to Cole McWard's call-up. The latter was likely called up due to Morgan Rielly's injury Saturday, making Lettieri the top candidate in the forward group to be sent down. During his stint with the Maple Leafs, the 31-year-old Lettieri posted a goal, eight shots on net, 24 hits and nine blocked shots over eight appearances. He'll likely see more action in the NHL at a later date this season.

Rodrigues tallied a goal, placed two shots on net and dished out three hits in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Rodrigues created a point streak in Saturday's contest, as he has found the scoresheet in back-to-back games. The 33-year-old center has three goals, seven points, 21 shots on net and 26 hits over 17 appearances this season. He's been a steady contributor over the past five seasons with 30-plus points each year. He's on pace to repeat that accomplishment in his first year with New Jersey, which should make him a decent streaming option in deep fantasy leagues periodically this season.

Hughes scored the game-winning goal, recorded a power-play assist and fired five shots on net in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Islanders.

Hughes delivered down the stretch, as he slid the primary helper on the game-tying goal before striking the OT winner off an assist from his brother, Luke. Jack has been excellent as of late, as he currently holds a four-game, multi-point streak. Overall, the 25-year-old star has nine goals, 23 points, 70 shots on net and 11 blocked shots across 17 games this season. He currently ranks just outside the top-10 skaters across the NHL in points and is tied for third in the league with 70 shots on net, making him an elite fantasy option in all standard formats moving forward.

Dach (illness) wasn't available for Saturday's 4-2 win over Vancouver, per Janson Duench of The Athletic.

Dach has three goals, one assist, 28 shots on net, 29 hits and eight blocked shots in 13 appearances this season. He is day-to-day, but it's unclear if he will be ready to play against the Rangers on Monday.

Hintz scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Hintz tied the game with a power-play goal midway through the first period before setting up Jamie Benn's go-ahead tally six minutes later. The center reached seven goals on the season and continues to play an important role in Dallas' offense. His combination of finishing ability, playmaking and power-play involvement provides a dependable fantasy foundation across most formats.

Misa scored a goal on one shot in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

Misa gave San Jose an early advantage, converting a cross-ice feed from Macklin Celebrini at the 7:22 mark of the first period. The rookie has reached four goals this season and continues to benefit from opportunities alongside the Sharks' most dynamic offensive players. He has cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last 10 games, tallying eight points (four goals, four assists) in that span. He should continue to have upside as long as he continues to skate next to Celebrini on the first line.

Celebrini recorded three assists, including one on the power play, and six shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Stars.

Celebrini assisted on all three San Jose goals, setting up Michael Misa's opener, Ivar Stenberg's second-period tally and Will Smith's power-play goal. The center registered his fourth three-point performance of the season, continuing to drive the Sharks' offense despite their five-game losing streak. His substantial offensive responsibilities, playmaking consistency, and shot volume make him a premier fantasy contributor despite his team's woes, as shown by his season-long average of over one point per game -- he has 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists) in 17 appearances so far.
