NHL Player News

Teravainen (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Friday against the Canucks, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Teravainen was thought to be questionable after he tweaked a pre-existing injury at practice Thursday, but he has been cleared to play. Teravainen has 13 goals and 15 helpers in 54 contests this season, including three goals in his last two appearances.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
