  • Penguins' Evgeni Malkin: Facing suspension

    Malkin will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety for slashing Buffalo's Rasmus Dahlin on Thursday.

    At minimum, Malkin should be expected to miss at least one game, though it could certainly be longer. The veteran center was ejected from Thursday's contest, and Dahlin doesn't seem to have suffered any long-term injury, both of which could be factors in the league's decision. Regardless, Pittsburgh will likely have to face the Flyers on Saturday without its two biggest stars, Malkin and Sidney Crosby (lower body).

  • Bruins' Massimo Rizzo: Traded to Boston

    Rizzo and Alexis Gendron were dealt from the Flyers to the Bruins on Friday in exchange for Brett Harrison and Jackson Edward.

    Rizzo has spent the season with ECHL Reading, tallying six goals and 16 assists in 29 games. He could report to AHL Providence along with Gendron.

  • Flyers' Brett Harrison: Traded to Philadelphia

    Harrison and Jackson Edward were traded to the Flyers from the Bruins on Friday in exchange for Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo.

    Harrison will report to AHL Lehigh Valley. The 22-year-old was selected in the third round of the 2021 NHL Draft. He had eight goals and 17 points in 46 AHL games with Providence before the trade.

  • Ty Mueller C | VAN

    Canucks' Ty Mueller: Summoned from AHL

    Mueller was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Friday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

    Mueller is tied for the Abbotsford lead in points with 28 in 49 games this season. The 23-year-old played a pair of games with the Canucks last season, but has yet to appear in an NHL game this year.

  • Nicolas Roy C | COL

    Avalanche's Nicolas Roy: Status uncertain for Friday's game

    The Avalanche hope to have Roy meet them in Dallas ahead of Friday's game against the Stars, but his status is in question due to his immigration paperwork, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

    Roy was traded to the Avalanche from the Maple Leafs on Thursday in exchange for a 2027 conditional first-round pick and a 2026 conditional fifth-round pick, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to make his team debut a day later. Roy made 59 appearances for Toronto to begin the year, recording five goals, 15 assists, 61 hits, 32 blocked shots and 10 PIM while averaging 14:45 of ice time.

  • Josh Norris C | BUF

    Sabres' Josh Norris: Two points in Pittsburgh

    Norris scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    Both points came in the second period as the Sabres broke open a 1-1 tie. Norris has been productive since returning from a rib injury after the Olympic break, picking up three goals and five points in the last five games.

  • Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Lights lamp twice in win

    Olivier scored two goals in Thursday's 4-2 win over Florida.

    The rugged winger tickled twine in the second period before flipping home an empty-netter late in the third. It's the third multi-goal performance of the season for Olivier, two of which have come since the beginning of February. On the season, he's recorded 11 goals, 20 points, 172 hits, 68 shots on net, 62 PIM, 35 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating in 48 contests.

  • Jets' Morgan Barron: Nets goal in win

    Barron scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Lightning.

    Barron's tally opened the scoring at 15:31 of the second period. This was his second goal in three games in March after he didn't score in January or February. The 27-year-old forward is up to nine goals, 19 points, 80 shots on net, 111 hits and a plus-7 rating over 52 appearances. He's reached the 20-point mark just once in his career, but he should be able to surpass the 21-point total he had in 2022-23 as long as he doesn't go cold down the stretch.

  • Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Registers pair of assists

    Pageau notched two assists, including one while shorthanded, in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

    Pageau has two goals and three assists over his last five outings. The 33-year-old center is up to 29 points, 60 shots on net, 81 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 55 appearances. Pageau continues to be a key part of the Islanders' overall playing style, offering steady two-way play. He can help a fantasy roster as a depth forward who adds physicality.

  • Bo Horvat C | NYI

    Islanders' Bo Horvat: Beats buzzer in second period

    Horvat scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Kings.

    The officials added a second after a late whistle in the second period, and that was all Horvat needed to snipe home the Islanders' first goal. He's tallied twice over three games in March, adding 12 shots on net, four hits and five blocked shots. The 30-year-old center is up to 26 goals, 43 points, 161 shots on net, 43 hits, 32 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 49 appearances this season. Horvat should continue to see top-line minutes as one of the Islanders' more reliable scorers.
