  • Mammoth's Mikhail Sergachev: Three helpers in Saturday's win

    Sergachev picked up three assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

    The 27-year-old blueliner put together his first multi-point performance since Jan. 1, helping to set up tallies by Clayton Keller and Kailer Yamamoto in the second period and Barrett Hayton in the third. Sergachev has looked very good since Christmas, and over the last 12 games, he's delivered three goals and 11 points with 21 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating.

  • Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Nine points in last 11 games

    Samuelsson had two assists Saturday in a 5-0 win over the Islanders.

    Samuelsson has nine points, including seven assists, 12 shots, 24 blocks, 23 hits and eight PIM in his last 11 games. Overall, he has 28 points (eight goals, 20 assists), 102 blocks, 78 hits, 69 shots and a plus-25 rating in 49 games this season. He has already set new career marks in points, goals, assists, shots, blocks and plus-minus. All of Samuelsson's offense has come at even strength, with the exception of three shorthanded points. He has but a single power-play assist in 261 career NHL games.

    Lightning's Erik Cernak: Hurt in Saturday's game

    Cernak (upper body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Blue Jackets, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

    Cernak was hit hard by Mathieu Olivier in the first period. The 28-year-old Cernak needed some help getting off the ice, and it's unclear if he'll be able to bounce back quickly from this injury. The Lightning's next game is Monday at home versus the Mammoth.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Among league's best defenders

    Dahlin scored a goal in a 5-0 win over the Islanders on Saturday.

    Dahlin finished plus-4 with three shots and two hits. In his last 10 games, he has four goals, five assists, two PPG, 16 hits, 19 blocks and 22 shots. Dahlin sits in 11th in league scoring with eight goals, 29 assists, 46 hits, 62 blocks and 121 shots from the blue line. He's seventh overall in shots and in a four-player tie for eighth in power-play points (14).

  • Capitals' Jakob Chychrun: Slated to play Saturday

    Chychrun (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday versus the Oilers, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

    Chychrun was dealing with whiplash after taking a hit in the third period Friday versus the Flames. However, it appears he has checked out fine and will be able to stay in the lineup without missing a full contest. Expect the defenseman to occupy his usual top-four role with power-play time.

  • Lightning's Max Crozier: Not in lineup Saturday

    Crozier (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Blue Jackets.

    Crozier had played in 23 straight games since returning from an undisclosed injury, but that streak will end Saturday. He has gone seven contests without a point. Simon Lundmark will draw in on the third pairing to make his NHL debut, while Crozier will try to be healthy in time for Monday's game versus the Mammoth.

  • Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Not expected to play

    Gostisbehere (lower body) is slated to miss Saturday's game against Ottawa, per Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Gostisbehere remains day-to-day and will sit out his fifth straight game. He has produced six goals, 32 points, 73 shots on net and 42 blocked shots across 35 appearances this season. With Carolina's next game scheduled for Thursday against Utah, Gostisbehere has some additional time to recover.

  • Sabres' Gavin Bayreuther: Acquired in minor-league swap

    Buffalo obtained Bayreuther from Carolina on Saturday in exchange for Viktor Neuchev.

    Bayreuther has four goals and 13 points in 33 minor-league appearances this season. After starting the season with AHL Chicago, he will report to Rochester following the trade. The 31-year-old blueliner has five goals and 28 points in 122 career NHL regular-season outings, but it's unclear if he will get a chance to see any action with the Sabres this campaign.

  • Kings' Drew Doughty: Set to return Saturday

    Doughty (illness) is set to play Saturday in St. Louis, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.

    Doughty missed Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers. He has three goals and 13 points in 41 outings in 2025-26. Jacob Moverare will likely be a healthy scratch against St. Louis due to Doughty's return.

  • Emil Andrae D | PHI

    Flyers' Emil Andrae: Snags assist Friday

    Andrae posted an assist and two PIM in Friday's 7-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Andrae ended a 13-game point drought with the helper. The 23-year-old defenseman's ice time has slipped with a move to the third pairing, though that's more of a product of the Flyers missing just Rasmus Ristolainen (upper body) on the blue line. Andrae is at 11 points, 26 shots on net, 44 hits, 39 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 39 contests this season, so fantasy managers can afford to wait and see if his game grows some more.
