Englund was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Monday.

Nicolas Hague is week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, which has resulted in Englund being brought up from the minors. Englund has yet to make an appearance in the NHL in 2025-26, so he might not get into a game unless another Nashville blueliner gets hurt. The 30-year-old has two goals, six points, 44 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 34 appearances with the Admirals this season.

George was sent down to AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

The Islanders acquired blueliner Carson Soucy on Monday, which led to a crowded room of defensemen, where George seems to be the initial odd-man out. The 21-year-old defenseman recorded an assist in Monday's contest for his first point of the year across two appearances with the NHL club. His move to Bridgeport could also indicate that Ryan Pulock, who has been dealing with an upper-body injury, could be close to returning. Through 24 games with Bridgeport this season, George has 10 points. He is a likely candidate for another call-up if another Islanders' blueliner picks up an injury.

Kiersted was recalled from AHL Iowa on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Kiersted will provide some emergency depth for the Wild ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Blackhawks, but he will likely need to watch from the sidelines. In the 27-year-old blueliner's four NHL appearances this year, he has generated one assist, four shots and five blocks while averaging 13:42 of ice time.

Durzi (undisclosed) departed Monday's 2-0 loss in Tampa Bay late in the third period, and there was no update on his status postgame.

Durzi went to the locker room after taking a hit into the boards in the final minutes of the third period, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports. Since head coach Andre Tourigny didn't have any information to relay about Durzi's status, the right-shot blueliner should be considered questionable for the second half of the Mammoth's back-to-back against the Panthers on Tuesday.

Soucy was traded to the Islanders from the Rangers on Monday in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick, per PuckPedia.

Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reported earlier Monday that this trade was in the works, which resulted in Soucy being sidelined for the Rangers' game against the Bruins. Soucy will see his former team in short order, as the Islanders and Rangers will play in a home-and-home set Wednesday and Thursday. The 31-year-old defenseman will likely work in a third-pairing role when he's in the lineup for his new squad, but he also could serve as a periodic healthy scratch, especially if the Islanders choose to keep Isaiah George with the big club when Ryan Pulock returns from an upper-body injury.

Zadorov (ankle) will miss Monday's road game against the Rangers.

Zadorov will miss his first game of the campaign Monday due to an ankle injury he sustained Saturday against Montreal. The Bruins will play in the second half of a back-to-back at home Tuesday against Nashville, but it's unclear if Zadorov will be available for that matchup at this time.

Cernak (upper body) is available for Monday's home game against the Mammoth.

Cernak was injured Saturday in Columbus and classified as a game-time decision earlier Monday, but he's seemingly no worse for wear after taking a hard hit from Mathieu Olivier. The 28-year-old Cernak will skate on the second pairing next to Declan Carlile versus Utah.

McDonald was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday, per the NHL media site.

McDonald was recalled from the AHL on Jan. 17 but didn't make his NHL debut during his time with the Flyers. He should have more consistent playing time with Lehigh Valley, and he's recorded five assists, 61 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 33 appearances with the Phantoms this year.

Ristolainen (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Following a six-game absence, Ristolainen appears ready to return to the lineup against the Islanders on Monday. He has collected three assists, 24 shots on goal, 24 blocked shots and 16 hits over 13 appearances this season.

Kleven posted two assists, two shots on goal, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Kleven logged his first multi-point outing since Dec. 2 versus the Canadiens. The 24-year-old defenseman has been a regular on the third pairing for much of this season. He's now at nine points -- one shy of matching his 79-game total in the 2024-25 regular season -- while adding 55 shots on net, 81 hits, 68 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 47 outings.
