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.

Buium (face) is dealing with a broken bone near his cheek and isn't expected to be available until after the 2026 Winter Olympics, according to Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet on Tuesday.

Buium was injured Sunday against the Penguins after being struck in the face by the puck. MacIntyre relayed that surgery has yet to be ruled out to address Buium's broken bone near his cheek. The 20-year-old Buium was placed on injured reserve Monday and will now turn his attention to attempting to be ready for game action when the Canucks resume play Feb. 25 against Winnipeg after the Olympics.

Parekh (upper body) scored twice in AHL Calgary's 6-3 win over Laval on Monday.

Parekh has two goals and two assists over three games during his conditioning stint in the AHL. The defenseman was loaned Jan. 17, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Flames end his loan prior to the end of the week, as it can last a maximum of 14 days. Once back with the big club, he'll compete with Joel Hanley, Hunter Brzustewicz and Brayden Pachal for playing time on the third pairing.

Mermis (lower body) was placed on waivers Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Mermis had one goal, five shots on net, nine blocked shots and eight hits in 11 NHL outings this campaign before landing on injured reserve. Assuming he clears, he will probably report to AHL Toronto. Mermis hasn't earned a point in three minor-league appearances this season.

Stastney scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.

Stastney tied the game at 2-2 in the second period, scoring the first of four Edmonton goals in a span of 3:49 during the frame. This was his first point as an Oiler -- he has played 23 games with a minus-4 rating and 28 blocked shots since he was acquired from the Predators. Overall, the blueliner has 10 points, 52 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 53 appearances in his first full NHL campaign. Stastney looks to have the edge over Alec Regula for playing time on the third pairing.

Nurse scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 7-4 win over the Ducks.

Nurse snapped a nine-game point drought with the tally. The 30-year-old defenseman has had a handful of cold stretches this season while filling a top-four role. He's now at seven goals, 17 points, 112 shots on net, 74 hits, 120 blocked shots, 81 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 54 appearances. He's on pace to miss the 30-point mark for the first time since 2017-18.

Vaakanainen registered an assist and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Vaakanainen may have a clearer path to playing time in the near future after the Rangers dealt Carson Soucy to the Islanders on Monday. Vaakanainen got into the lineup on the third pairing Monday, playing for just the seventh time in 26 games since the start of December. The Finn has four assists, 15 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and 12 PIM over 23 appearances. Barring a call-up of a young blueliner, Vaakanainen will probably play regularly until Adam Fox (lower body) returns.

Borgen scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins.

Borgen ended his 23-game point drought with a long-range equalizer at 13:43 of the third period. The 29-year-old has remained in a bottom-four role throughout the slump, but he's best known for his shutdown work. He's at three goals, two assists, 47 shots, 66 hits, 62 blocked shots and 26 PIM through 46 appearances this season.

DeAngelo scored a power-play goal on seven shots, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-0 win over the Flyers.

DeAngelo stretched the Islanders' lead to 3-0 in the second period. The defenseman has put together a strong January with three goals and nine points over 12 outings, by far his best month of the campaign. He's at four goals, 22 points (four on the power play), 101 shots on net, 45 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 52 appearances this season.

Lyubushkin (lower body) didn't join the Stars for their three-game road trip, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports Tuesday.

Lyubushkin was originally deemed doubtful for Tuesday's matchup with the Blues, but now it seems he will miss the next three games entirely. Given the length of his expected absence, the blueliner will be a strong candidate to end up on injured reserve in order to free up a roster spot for Dallas.
