Ben Meyers C | SEA
Kraken's Ben Meyers: Off injured reserve
Meyers (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, per Sound of Hockey.
Meyers is now eligible to return to the lineup Wednesday versus the Stars. The 27-year-old had earned three points over two games prior to missing the Kraken's last seven contests before the Olympic break. Meyers is likely slated for fourth-line duties, assuming he plays Wednesday.

Kraken's Berkly Catton: Lifted from injured reserve
Catton (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, per Sound of Hockey.
Catton is clear to return to the lineup versus the Stars on Wednesday, though it's not yet clear if he'll play. The 20-year-old should be expected to settle into a middle-six role. He had six points over 16 outings in January prior to his three-game injury absence.

Dakota Joshua C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Dakota Joshua: Removed from LTIR
Joshua (lacerated kidney) was taken off long-term injured reserve Wednesday.
Even with his activation, Joshua is in line to be a healthy scratch versus the Lightning on Wednesday. Prior to his long-term absence, the 29-year-old winger had gone six games without registering a point, though he did dish out 22 hits over that stretch. Whenever Joshua does get into the lineup, it figures to be in a bottom-six role.

Kraken's Berkly Catton: Game-time decision Wednesday
Catton (upper body) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Dallas.
Catton has five goals and 11 points in 40 outings in 2025-26. He was last in the lineup Jan. 29. Catton will probably serve in the bottom six if he's healthy enough to return Wednesday. Catton isn't the only question mark for Seattle going into the game. Jaden Schwartz (lower body) and Ben Meyers (lower body) also might return from injury.

Kraken's Ben Meyers: Game-time call
Meyers (lower body) is expected to be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Dallas.
Meyers has five goals and 11 points in 31 outings in 2025-26. He hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 21 due to the injury. Berkly Catton (upper body) and Jaden Schwartz (lower body) are also questionable, so there are a lot of unknowns regarding Seattle's forward corps going into Wednesday's action.

Alex Turcotte C | LA
Kings' Alex Turcotte: Playing Wednesday
Turcotte (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and will feature in Wednesday's matchup with Vegas, per NHL.com.
Turcotte returns to the lineup after missing six games. Despite recording 15 shots in his last eight appearances, the 24-year-old center has been unable to put one into the net. With Vegas missing several Olympic participants, Turcotte could have a decent chance of breaking out of his slump Wednesday.

Colton Sissons C | LV
Golden Knights' Colton Sissons: Returning to action Wednesday
Sissons (upper body) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Kings, according to Hannah Kirkell of Vegas Hockey Now.
Sissons missed 12 straight games before the Olympic break. Across 41 appearances this season, he's recorded three goals, three assists, 61 hits, 26 blocked shots and 15 PIM while averaging 11:48 of playing time.

Alexander Kerfoot C | UTA
Mammoth's Alex Kerfoot: Removed from IR
Kerfoot (upper body) was activated off injured reserve in the lead-up to Wednesday's clash with Colorado, per the NHL media site.
Kerfoot will suit up for the first time since Jan. 9, when he suffered his upper-body problem. Injuries have limited the 31-year-old center to just nine appearances this year, in which he notched just one point while averaging 10:20 of ice time. Even with his return to the lineup, Kerfoot is unlikely to offer significant fantasy value, considering he is filling a fourth-line role and won't see much power-play time.

Josh Dunne C | BUF
Sabres' Josh Dunne: Off injured reserve
Dunne (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve Wednesday, per NHL media site.
Dunne hasn't played since Jan. 12 because of the injury. He has a goal and four points in 28 outings in 2025-26. Dunne will probably serve on the fourth line alongside Tyson Kozak and Beck Malenstyn against New Jersey on Wednesday.

Logan Cooley C | UTA
Mammoth's Logan Cooley: Activated Wednesday
Cooley (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Colorado, per the NHL media site.
Following a 28-game absence, Cooley is set to occupy a second-line role in addition to linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit. Before getting hurt, Cooley didn't have a point in four straight games, but he could still challenge for the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds now that his injury is behind him.
