    The Devils moved Luke Hughes (shoulder) to long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move. White has four assists, two PIM, 23 hits and 16 blocks in 23 NHL outings this season. He played in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to AH: Belleville after successfully clearing waivers Saturday and briefing heading to the minors.

  • Stars' Thomas Harley: Dishes pair of helpers

    Harley logged two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Harley set up Mavrik Bourque's power-play goal in the first period and an even-strength tally by Justin Hryckowian in the second. Both of those goals came in the final minute of their respective frames. Harley ended a five-game slump with the helper and is now at 18 points, 59 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-3 rating in 38 appearances. It's been a down year for the defenseman, who has logged totals of 47 and 50 points in the previous two regular seasons.

  • Kris Letang D | PIT

    Penguins' Kris Letang: Game-time call Wednesday

    Letang (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with Calgary, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

    Letang is day-to-day after missing Tuesday's practice. The Penguins would be missing two integral defenders if Letang joins Erik Karlsson (lower body) on the shelf. Jack St. Ivany or Ilya Solovyov could slot into the lineup in a third-pairing role if Letang is unavailable.

  • Esa Lindell D | DAL

    Stars' Esa Lindell: Buries goal in win

    Lindell scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Lindell ended his 18-game goal drought with a tally at 8:26 of the second period, which held up as the game-winner. During that span, he still contributed nine assists and 38 blocked shots. Lindell remains a defensive stalwart for the Stars, though he's added five goals, 21 points, 47 shots on net, 109 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating in 50 contests. He's on pace to reach the 30-point mark for the first time since the 2018-19 regular season.

  • Stars' Vladislav Kolyachonok: Reclaimed, sent to AHL

    Kolyachonok was claimed off waivers by Dallas from Boston on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    The Stars will get Kolyachonok back after the Bruins claimed him off waivers from Dallas on Dec. 16. He has a goal, three points, four PIM, five hits and 13 blocks in 13 appearances between Dallas and Boston in 2025-26. Kolyachonok will report to AHL Texas, per Stars beat writer Robert Tiffin.

  • Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Three helpers Tuesday

    Heiskanen notched three assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins,

    It was the blueliner's first multi-point performance since Dec. 19 and his first points since Jan. 4. Despite the lull, which came around a two-game absence to attend to a personal matter, Heiskanen has been productive overall this campaign. He has seven goals and 39 points in 48 contests, putting him on pace for his best numbers since he delivered a career-high 73 points in the 2022-23 regular season.

  • Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Posts assist in loss

    Zadorov notched an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Stars.

    Zadorov hasn't scored a goal since Oct. 16, a span of 45 games. Since the start of December, he's contributed eight assists, 71 PIM, 44 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 23 outings, mainly in a top-four role. Zadorov's aggressive play is his best trait in fantasy, and he chips in just enough offense to stay on the radar. He has 16 points, 62 shots on net, 129 hits, 119 PIM, 74 blocks and a plus-16 rating through 50 contests this season.

  • Tyler Kleven D | OTT

    Senators' Tyler Kleven: Opens scoring Tuesday

    Kleven scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    The goal was Kleven's first of the season, and it was just his second point in 12 outings since he returned from a lower-body injury. The defenseman remains firmly in a third-pairing role, but he's done well to keep Nikolas Matinpalo in the press box. Kleven is at seven points, 51 shots on net, 72 hits, 65 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 44 appearances.

  • Brady Skjei D | NSH

    Predators' Brady Skjei: Draws helper in loss

    Skjei notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.

    Skjei has been limited to two helpers, 16 shots on net, 11 blocked shots, five hits and a plus-3 rating over 10 outings in January. The defenseman looked to be turning a corner in December, but his offense has faded even as the Predators sustain most of their improvements overall from the last month. Skjei has 15 points, 76 shots, 50 blocks, 36 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-8 rating across 49 appearances this season.

  • Senators' Thomas Chabot: Two helpers in Columbus

    Chabot picked up two assists in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    The 28-year-old blueliner had a hand in Tim Stutzle's game-winner midway through the first period, as well as a Ridly Greig tally in the third. Chabot has been running hot and cold since returning from an upper-body injury in mid-December. Over the last 16 games, he's produced three goals, six assists, 31 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-4 rating.
