  • Noah Ostlund C | BUF

    Sabres' Noah Ostlund: Up with big club

    Ostlund has been elevated to the NHL roster ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Utah, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

    Ostlund is pointless through four NHL appearances this year, registering six shots, three blocks and one hit while averaging a mere 10:50 of ice time. With Tyson Kozak (lower body) returning to practice, the 21-year-old Ostlund may not get into the lineup versus the Mammoth.

  • Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Two helpers against Preds

    Pettersson notched two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over Nashville.

    The 26-year-old helped set up a Jake DeBrusk tally midway through the second period before winning a puck battle in the corner and chipping it to Brock Boeser for the winner with just two seconds left on the clock in OT. It was Pettersson's second multi-point performance of the season, and through 14 games, he's produced three goals and 10 points with 29 blocked shots, 20 shots on net, 17 hits and an even plus-minus rating as he works to put a rough 2024-25 campaign behind him.

  • Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Two-point effort against Pens

    Matthews scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-3 win over Pittsburgh.

    The Leafs captain sparked a comeback from a 3-0 deficit early in the third period, as he took a blue line-to-blue line feed from Jake McCabe and then went five-hole on Tristan Jarry. Matthews has had a bit of a sluggish start to the season, but he's found the back of the net in back-to-back games and has seven goals and 11 points through 13 contests.

  • Penguins' Ben Kindel: Lights lamp twice in loss

    Kindel scored two goals, one on the power play, in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

    The 18-year-old rookie recorded his first multi-goal performance in the NHL, and Kindel's efforts helped give the Penguins a 3-0 lead heading into the third period, only for everything to come crashing down over the final 20 minutes. Kindel's getting a look on the top power-play unit -- two of his last three tallies have come with the man advantage -- with Rickard Rakell (hand) and Justin Brazeau (upper body) nursing injuries, and his first five NHL points have all been goals. Through his first 12 games, Kindel's added 26 shots on net, 10 blocked shots, eight hits and a minus-1 rating.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Reaches career milestone Monday

    McDavid notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

    McDavid became the fourth-fastest player in NHL history to reach 1,100 career points following this two-assist performance, but the Oilers still lost the game, so they've now dropped four of their last six (2-2-2). Despite the collective struggles, McDavid remains an absolute force on offense for Edmonton. This was his sixth multi-point game of the season, and he's up to 19 points (three goals, 16 helpers) in 14 games so far.

  • Noel Acciari C | PIT

    Penguins' Noel Acciari: Injured in Toronto

    Acciari sustained an upper-body injury during Monday's game against the Maple Leafs and will not return.

    Acciari played just two shifts before departing the contest. If the 33-year-old or Justin Brazeau (upper body) is unable to play Thursday against the Capitals, then the Penguins might call up a forward from the minors, unless they elect to play seven defensemen in the event that they're short up front.

  • Matt Rempe C | NYR

    Rangers' Matt Rempe: Shifts to IR

    Rempe (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

    The Rangers recalled Connor Mackey from AHL Hartford in a corresponding move. Rempe is out indefinitely after being injured in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks on Oct. 23. He has provided one goal, eight shots on net, 30 hits and seven PIM across nine appearances this season.

  • Nick Cousins C | OTT

    Senators' Nick Cousins: Says he's fine following early exit

    Cousins (undisclosed) said Monday that he's fine after exiting Saturday's game against the Canadiens, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

    Cousins departed Saturday's matchup in the third period, and the Senators didn't update his status after the game. However, it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss Thursday's game against the Bruins. Over 13 appearances this year, Cousins has recorded two goals, an assist, 25 hits, nine blocked shots and 25 PIM while averaging 11:12 of ice time.

  • Avalanche's Gavin Brindley: Recovering from concussion

    Brindley (concussion) skated before Monday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

    Brindley sat out Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose due to the injury. It's unclear if he will be ready to play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, but he hasn't been experiencing many symptoms. Brindley has one goal, one assist, 12 shots on net and 12 hits across 12 appearances this season.

  • Blackhawks' Jason Dickinson: Lands on IR

    Dickinson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Oct. 30, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

    Dickinson missed Saturday's matchup against Edmonton due to a shoulder injury, and he's considered week-to-week after landing on injured reserve. Oliver Moore was recalled from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move to help provide additional forward depth for Chicago.
