  • Matt Rempe C | NYR

    Rangers' Matt Rempe: Set to play

    Rempe (illness) is expected to play against Washington on Tuesday, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

    Rempe sat out Sunday's 2-1 loss to Nashville, but he participated in Tuesday's morning skate and said he's feeling much better. He has compiled one goal, 10 shots on net, 44 hits and seven PIM across 13 appearances this season.

  • Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Ready to rock

    Danault (illness) will play against Boston on Tuesday, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

    Danault skated with the team for the first time at Tuesday's morning skate since being acquired from the Kings on Friday. Based on the session, he will occupy a third-line role against the Bruins. Danault has five assists, 42 shots on goal, 11 blocked shots and 22 hits in 30 games this season.

  • Flyers' Rodrigo Abols: Two helpers in Monday's win

    Abols pocketed two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

    The Flyers' new fourth line of Abols, Nikita Grebenkin and Carl Grundstrom made a surprising impact, combining for the team's first two goals of the night and five points between them. Abols has just five points on the season in 30 games, but four of them (one goal and three helpers) have come in the last six contests.

  • Blue Jackets' Luca Del Bel Belluz: Returned to minors

    Del Bel Belluz was reassigned to AHL Cleveland on Tuesday.

    Del Bel Belluz was promoted under emergency conditions, but with the Jackets off until Sunday's clash with the Islanders, the forward wasn't needed on the NHL roster anymore. Despite the demotion, the 22-year-old Ontario native could be brought back up prior to the clash with New York and fill out a bottom-six role for the club.

  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Two PP helpers Monday

    Guentzel collected two power-play assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

    The veteran winger had a hand in tallies by Darren Raddysh in the first period and Oliver Bjorkstrand in the third. Guentzel has three multi-point performances in the last six games, and since the beginning of November, he's delivered an impressive 13 goals and 28 points in 25 contests.

  • Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Making progress in recovery

    Olivier (upper body) is expected to join the team for Saturday's full practice, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    Portzline relayed that it is unclear if Olivier will be cleared for contact Saturday, as the right-shot winger has mostly been skating on his own. The 28-year-old has previously joined the team for optional morning skates, so he's seemingly progressing toward making his return to the lineup. The Mississippi native has been out of action since Nov. 26. Olivier will probably serve on the third line once he receives the green light to suit up.

  • Jets' Mark Scheifele: Offers two more assists

    Scheifele notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

    Scheifele helped out on both of Kyle Connor's goals in the contest. Over the last seven games, Scheifele has three goals and four assists while logging multiple points in three outings. He's up to 43 points (eight on the power play), 72 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 35 appearances as he continues to be a leader in the Jets' offense.

  • Mammoth's Alex Kerfoot: Nets first goal of season

    Kerfoot scored a goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

    This was Kerfoot's second game back from an abdominal injury that cost him the first 36 contests of the season. The 31-year-old has slotted back into a bottom-six role, though he'll likely move around the lineup as necessary as one of the Mammoth's most versatile forwards. His 28-point output from 81 outings last season constituted a down year, but he may still struggle to match that total considering all the time he's missed in 2025-26.

  • Will Smith C | SJ

    Sharks' Will Smith: Deemed week-to-week

    Smith (upper body) is week-to-week, per Max Miller of NHL.com on Monday.

    Smith has already missed the last three games and remains on injured reserve. The Sharks will evaluate him further after the calendar flips to 2026. Smith has generated 12 goals, 29 points and 80 shots on net across 33 outings this campaign. With Smith and Philipp Kurashev (upper body) unavailable, Collin Graf and Igor Chernyshov have been seeing time on San Jose's top line.

  • Leo Carlsson C | ANA

    Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Unavailable Monday

    Carlsson (lower body) is day-to-day and won't play against Seattle on Monday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Carlsson could be ready to return to the lineup versus the Kings on Saturday after the Christmas break. He has amassed 17 goals, 41 points and 89 shots on net across 36 appearances this season. Mikael Granlund will occupy a top-six role in Monday's lineup due to Carlsson's absence.
