Shai Buium D | DET
Red Wings' Shai Buium: Off non-roster list, sent to minors
Buium (undisclosed) was activated off injured non-roster and reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday.
Buium had two goals and 25 points in 67 appearances with Grand Rapids during the 2024-25 regular season. The 22-year-old hasn't made his NHL debut.

Luke Schenn D | BUF
Jets' Luke Schenn: Rare goal in win
Schenn scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Schenn has been battling with Colin Miller for a third-pairing role for much of the season, though the former is getting the majority of the playing time. The 36-year-old Schenn had gone 10 games without a point entering Tuesday before scoring at 12:04 of the second period. He's now at five points, 23 shots on net, 21 PIM, 80 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 28 appearances.

Ryan Pulock D | NYI
Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Dishes pair of helpers
Pulock notched two assists, two blocked shots, two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.
Pulock has three helpers over his last five games, though he went scoreless in six outings before that. The 31-year-old defenseman has been steady in his own zone as usual, while chipping in just enough offense to be intriguing in deeper fantasy formats. Pulock has one goal, 18 assists, 53 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-11 rating across 43 contests this season.

Jacob Bryson D | WPG
Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Quiet on offense
Bryson has gone six games without a point after failing to find the scoresheet in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
Bryson's playing time is picking up while Michael Kesselring (lower body) and Conor Timmins (leg) are on injured reserve. Since Bryson's two-point effort versus the Blackhawks on Nov. 21, he has picked up one helper in 14 appearances. He has a total of four points, nine shots on net, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and six PIM through 25 outings this season while seeing third-pairing usage when he plays.

Owen Power D | BUF
Sabres' Owen Power: Pockets helper in win
Power notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
Power has a three-game assist streak going, and he's earned five helpers across 12 contests since his last goal Dec. 8 versus the Flames. The defenseman has struggled overall this season with 13 points, 58 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 20 hits and a minus-2 rating over 40 appearances. He's still seeing top-four minutes, but he's in danger of missing the 30-point mark for the first time in his fourth full campaign.

Jaccob Slavin D | CAR
Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Awaiting medical clearance
Slavin (upper body) is still waiting on medical clearance ahead of Thursday's clash with the Ducks, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Slavin was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. However, head coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't offer any clarity regarding Slavin's availability versus Anaheim, a situation complicated further by the team's decision not to hold a morning skate Thursday. Still, in order for the veteran defenseman to suit up, he will need to be activated off injured reserve. Once that happens, fantasy managers can expect Slavin back in the lineup.

Travis Sanheim D | PHI
Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Tallies again Tuesday
Sanheim scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Sanheim is off to a strong start to January, scoring in consecutive games for the first time this season. The defenseman is up to five goals, 14 assists, 54 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 41 appearances on the campaign. Sanheim should do better than his eight-goal, 30-point effort from 2024-25 and could challenge for the second 40-point season of his career.

Dysin Mayo D | CLB
Blue Jackets' Dysin Mayo: Lands on waivers
Mayo was designated for waivers by the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
Mayo has played on only two occasions over his 21 games on the NHL roster, recording one assist, four shots and one block while averaging a mere 8:34 of ice time. Assuming the blueliner clears waivers, he will likely spend the bulk of the rest of the year in the minors, especially after the Blue Jackets added Egor Zamula as an unrestricted free agent.
-
Terrell Goldsmith D | UTA
Mammoth's Terrell Goldsmith: Playing in minors
Goldsmith (undisclosed) has appeared in three games for AHL Tucson, generating one shot and seven PIM.
Goldsmith started the 2025-26 campaign on non-roster injured reserve but appears to be back to 100 percent. Considering this is the 20-year-old blueliner's first professional season, he probably shouldn't be expected to make the jump to the NHL ranks any time soon.

Cam York D | PHI
Flyers' Cam York: Two points including GWG
York scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Ducks. He added five shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating to his ledger.
The 25-year-old blueliner gave the Flyers a 3-1 lead in the second period by flipping a shot through traffic. York can run hot and cold, but he's locked in right now, producing two goals, four assists, 24 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over the last nine games.
