  • Rangers' Juuso Parssinen: Returns to AHL

    Parssinen was reassigned to the minors Friday, per the AHL transaction page.

    Parssinen has two goals and three points in 15 outings with the Rangers in 2025-26. He also has five goals and six points in 11 appearances with AHL Hartford.

  • Islanders' Brayden Schenn: Acquired via trade

    Schenn was brought in by the Islanders from the Blues on Friday in a swap for Jonathan Drouin, a 2026 first-round pick, a third-round pick and Marcus Gidlof, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    It's a heavy price tag for Schenn, but the veteran forward will provide the Islanders with flexibility to play center or wing in addition to potentially seeing time with the man advantage. It's been a down season for Schenn, as he is in danger of missing the 40-point mark for just the second time in the last 13 years, though a strong finish to the year with his new club could get him over the line.

  • Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Sent to AHL

    Brindley was reassigned to the minors Friday, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

    Brindley has six goals and 12 points in 47 outings with the Avalanche in 2025-26. Joel Kiviranta (concussion) is set to return for Friday's game against Dallas, and the Avalanche acquired Nicolas Roy from Toronto on Thursday. Those were likely factors in the Avalanche's decision to send Brindley to the AHL.

  • Flyers' Luke Glendening: Claimed off waivers

    Glendening was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia from New Jersey on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Philadelphia dealt Bobby Brink to Minnesota on Friday in exchange for defenseman David Jiricek, so Glendening will provide the Flyers with a bit of needed forward depth following that trade. However, Glendening shouldn't be counted on to do much, if anything, offensively. The 36-year-old Glendening has four assists, four PIM, 66 hits and 45 blocks in 52 appearances in 2025-26. If Glendening plays for the Flyers, it will probably be as a member of the fourth line.

  • Canadiens' Joe Veleno: Back at practice

    Veleno (illness) participated in Thursday's practice as an extra forward.

    Veleno appears ready to return to the lineup after missing Monday's practice, but that doesn't mean he will play against Anaheim on Friday. He also sat out Tuesday's 7-5 loss to San Jose, but it's unclear if he was available for that contest because he was a healthy scratch for two straight outings before the matchup. Veleno has two goals, four points, 45 shots on net and 119 hits in 49 appearances this season.

  • Canucks' Curtis Douglas: Grabbed off waivers

    Douglas was snatched off waivers by the Canucks on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

    Douglas has appeared in just two of the Bolts' last 22 outings, in part due to a conditioning assignment in the minors. While the 26-year-old center has struggled to break into Tampa's lineup, he should have more opportunities to fill a bottom-six role with the Canucks.

  • Ryan McLeod C | BUF

    Sabres' Ryan McLeod: Opens scoring with shortie

    McLeod scored a shorthanded goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    McLeod had gone 14 contests without a goal, but he picked up 12 assists in that span. The 26-year-old's steady all-around play has kept him in a second-line role despite the lack of goals. For the season, he's produced 12 goals, 44 points (six on the power play, six shorthanded), 77 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating. His career high of 53 points was set in 79 outings in 2024-25, and he could surpass that mark with a strong finish this year.

  • Sam Bennett C | FLA

    Panthers' Sam Bennett: Tallies on power play in loss

    Bennett scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Bennett has four goals and two assists over five games since the Olympics. His personal uptick in offense hasn't helped the Panthers that much -- they've won just once in that span. For the season, Bennett is at 23 goals, 48 points (12 on the power play), 163 shots on net, 107 hits and 72 PIM over 62 appearances. He's likely to set career highs in most scoring categories.

  • Boone Jenner C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Scores game-winner

    Jenner scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Panthers.

    Jenner's tally at 1:41 of the third period stood as the game-winner. He had missed the Blue Jackets' previous contest due to a lower-body injury, and he had gone 13 games before that without a goal. Jenner has nine goals, 28 points, 95 shots on net, 100 hits and 45 blocked shots over 46 appearances this season, filling a versatile role for Columbus.

  • Oilers' Mattias Janmark: Done for season

    Janmark (undisclosed) underwent season-ending surgery, per Mark Spector of Sportsnet on Friday.

    Janmark was injured in the first period Feb. 25 in Anaheim and did not return. He managed one goal and seven assists in 43 games with the Oilers this season. He is expected to be healthy for the start of training camp in September.
