  • Carson Soucy D | NYI

    Rangers' Carson Soucy: Won't play Monday

    Soucy will be held out of Monday's game vesus Boston ahead of a reported trade, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.

    According to reports, Soucy is going to be traded to the Islanders, though the terms of the deal haven't been announced yet. Offensively, Soucy is limited, producing just three helpers during a 22-game goal drought, but he should serve as a shutdown defender for the Islanders once he's flipped to his new club.

  • Kings' Joel Edmundson: Managing upper-body issue

    Edmundson is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Monday.

    Edmundson hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he didn't practice with the Kings ahead of Monday's scheduled matchup against the Blue Jackets that was postponed due to severe winter weather in the Columbus area. Whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game in Detroit remains to be seen, but Kenny Connors will be recalled from AHL Ontario since Edmundson and Alex Turcotte are both considered day-to-day due to upper-body injuries.

  • Jonas Brodin D | MIN

    Wild's Jonas Brodin: Expected to miss 6-8 weeks

    Head coach John Hynes said Monday that Brodin (lower body) is expected to miss approximately 6-8 weeks, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

    Brodin had already been ruled out through the Olympic break, and it was previously reported that he wouldn't suit up for Sweden in the tournament. However, his updated timetable suggests that he could also be sidelined for several games after the Wild resume play. A better idea of his status could come into focus in late February, but it's possible that Brodin will be unavailable until at least early March.

  • Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Game-time decision

    Zadorov (ankle) will be a game-time call against the Rangers on Monday, per Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site.

    Zadorov temporarily left Saturday's 4-3 win over Montreal, but he came back to play in the third period. He has produced one goal, 16 assists, 63 shots on net, 76 blocked shots, 130 hits and 121 PIM across 52 appearances this season. If Zadorov is unavailable to play, Henri Jokiharju will probably be in the lineup against the Rangers on Monday.

  • Red Wings' Simon Edvinsson: Shut down through Olympics

    Edvinsson (lower body) will not return until after the Olympic break, Daniella Bruce of the Red Wings' official site reports Monday.

    Edvinsson likely would have been in the mix to be an injury replacement for Sweden if he wasn't dealing with a lower-body injury of his own. With the blueliner ruled out for the next five games, he almost certainly will be designated for injured reserve in order to give Detroit an open roster spot for a recall.

  • Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Stays hot with two points

    Hamilton scored a goal, distributed an assist, fired five shots on net and served two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to Seattle.

    Hamilton extended his point streak to eight games Sunday when he opened scoring with a power-play goal just over eight minutes into the contest. He later slid the primary helper on Jack Hughes' power-play goal midway through the third period. Overall, Hamilton is up to six goals, 13 assists, 123 shots on net, 50 hits and 47 blocks through 47 games this season. The 32-year-old blueliner is on fire with 11 of his 19 points this season occurring over his last 11 games. With trade rumors surrounding the veteran blueliner, he has displayed his skill to potential suitors, making him an enticing candidate to be dealt before the trade deadline in just over a month's time. Regardless of whether he's traded or not, Hamilton has appeared to have shaken off the rust and is back on track to record another 30-plus point campaign, giving him a strong fantasy outlook for the remainder of the season.

  • Ryan Pulock D | NYI

    Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Won't play Monday

    Pulock (upper body) won't play in Monday's game against Philadelphia, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

    Pulock isn't with the Islanders in Philadelphia and is slated to miss a second consecutive matchup after exiting Wednesday's game against the Kraken due to his upper-body injury. Isaiah George will presumably remain in the lineup Monday, while Pulock's next opportunity to return will be Wednesday against the Rangers.

  • Ryker Evans D | SEA

    Kraken's Ryker Evans: Adds goal in win

    Evans netted a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over New Jersey.

    Evans ended a 16-game goal drought Sunday with Seattle's first goal of the game, which came midway through the second period. Overall, the 24-year-old blueliner is up to four goals, 11 points, 25 shots on net, 21 hits and 37 blocks across 36 games this season. While his ceiling is limited on the Kraken's third defensive pairing, he is tied for third among the team's blueliners in goals and points. While he has a bright fantasy outlook in dynasty leagues, Evans is best left on the waiver wire in standard formats unless one of Seattle's top defensemen is expected to miss time.

  • Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Deemed game-time call

    Ristolainen (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Islanders, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

    Ristolainen has been on injured reserve since mid-January, but he participated in Monday's morning skate and seems to be trending toward a return. While it seems promising that he'll be able to end to his absence after six games, the Flyers will monitor him leading up to puck drop before deciding whether to activate him from injured reserve.

  • Blue Jackets' Denton Mateychuk: Ready to rock

    Mateychuk (upper body) was set to be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against the Kings on Monday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports, before the game was postponed.

    Looking ahead to Wednesday's matchup with the Flyers, Mateychuk will likely replace Jake Christiansen in the lineup. The 21-year-old Mateychuk has accounted for eight goals, 21 points, 52 shots on net and 63 blocked shots across 44 appearances this season.
