  • Predators' Jordan Oesterle: Posts trio of points in AHL win

    Oesterle scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Milwaukee's 5-3 win over Rockford on Tuesday.

    Oesterle hasn't gotten a look with the Predators this season. He's earned five points over the last three games, but Andreas Englund got the call-up over Oesterle after it was determined Nicolas Hague (lower body) was set for a week-to-week absence through the Olympic break. Oesterle is at 21 points with a minus-13 rating over 39 AHL contests this season.

  • Sean Durzi D | UTA

    Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Four points in last three games

    Durzi (undisclosed) had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Florida.

    He left Monday's game early because of a big hit, but he looked none the worse for wear Tuesday. Durzi has a pair of two-point games (one goal, three assists) in his last three outings. Overall, the defender has four goals, 13 assists, 56 blocks and 56 shots in 32 games this season.

  • Canucks' Tom Willander: Good to go Tuesday

    Willander (illness) will be in the lineup versus the Sharks on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

    Willander missed Sunday's game while ill, but that looks to be the extent of his absence. Pierre-Olivier Joseph will be scratched to make room for Willander on the third pairing for Tuesday's contest.

  • Matt Roy D | WAS

    Capitals' Matt Roy: Out of action Tuesday

    Roy (lower body) will not play Tuesday versus the Kraken.

    Roy and Rasmus Sandin (lower body) are both out of action for Tuesday. The Capitals will have Declan Chisholm and Dylan McIlrath in action instead, while Trevor van Riemsdyk should see more ice time. Roy's next chance to play is Thursday in Detroit.

  • Capitals' Rasmus Sandin: Unavailable Tuesday

    Sandin (lower body) won't play Tuesday versus the Kraken.

    Sandin was injured Saturday versus the Oilers and won't be able to suit up for this game either. The 25-year-old will be replaced by Declan Chisholm in the lineup. Sandin's next chance to play is Thursday versus the Red Wings.

  • Kings' Joel Edmundson: Poised to play

    Edmundson (upper body) is expected to play against Detroit on Tuesday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    Edmundson logged just 14:51 of ice time in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over St. Louis, but it seems he won't miss additional playing time due to the injury. He has accounted for two goals, 14 assists, 67 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and 59 hits across 50 appearances this season.

  • Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Expected to play

    Zadorov (ankle) is slated to play Tuesday versus the Predators, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

    Zadorov missed Monday's game versus the Rangers, but he was a game-time decision for that contest. He also returned to Saturday's game versus the Canadiens after sustaining the injury, which suggests it isn't likely to be a long-term concern. Zadorov is expected to fill a top-four shutdown role Tuesday.

  • Sean Durzi D | UTA

    Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Slated to play

    Durzi (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup versus the Panthers on Tuesday.

    Durzi left Monday's game versus the Lightning late in the third period after taking a hit along the boards. However, it appears he's no worse for wear, though the Mammoth did call up Dmitri Simashev for extra defensive depth prior to Monday's contest. Durzi should fill a top-four role in Tuesday's game.

  • Avalanche's Keaton Middleton: Brought up from AHL

    Middleton was summoned from AHL Colorado on Tuesday.

    Middleton has two goals and nine points in 39 AHL appearances this campaign. He will probably make his 2025-26 debut with the Avalanche against Ottawa on Wednesday. Middleton had two assists, 44 shots on goal, 37 blocked shots and 69 hits in 41 games for Colorado during the 2024-25 NHL regular season.

  • Mammoth's Dmitri Simashev: Called up from minors

    Simashev was recalled from AHL Tucson on Tuesday.

    Simashev's promotion would seem to indicate that Sean Durzi (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus the Panthers on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, forward Cameron Hebig was sent down to the minors. In 24 NHL games this year, Simashev has yet to score a goal while generating just one assist. As much, fantasy managers probably shouldn't expect him to suddenly start producing offensively if he gets into the lineup.
