  • Bruins' Henri Jokiharju: End lengthy multi-point drought

    Jokiharju put up two assists in a 10-2 victory over the Rangers on Saturday.

    He finished plus-5 with three shots and two hits. It was Jokiharju's first multi-point game since April 11, 2024 (two assists). He isn't known for his offensive prowess, posting his only 20-point performance in the 2023-24 regular season with 92 hits and 106 blocks. Jokiharju has eight assists, 27 shots, 15 hits and 20 blocks in 28 games this season.

  • Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Five-game, six-point streak

    McAvoy had a goal and an assist in a 10-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

    McAvoy is on a five-game, six-point scoring streak (one goal, five assists), and he has two goals and eight assists in his last 11 games. Five of those helpers have come on the power play. McAvoy also delivers in secondary categories -- he has 42 hits and 64 blocks in just 33 games this season, and 11 of his 25 points (all assists) have come with the man advantage. McAvoy is the kind of all-around defender who can help deliver you a fantasy title.

  • Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Unavailable Saturday

    Crevier (illness) will miss Saturday's game in Nashville, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

    Crevier is set to miss his second straight game due to the illness. He has four goals, 14 points, 37 PIM, 62 shots, 63 hits and 36 blocks in 42 appearances in 2025-26. Kevin Korchinski is set to play in his second consecutive game because of Crevier's absence.

  • Jake McCabe D | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Jake McCabe: Slated to play Saturday

    McCabe (lower body) is projected to be in the lineup Saturday versus the Canucks, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

    McCabe is looking likely to return from missing two contests. He should be back in a top-four role with time on the penalty kill for this contest. McCabe should continue to be a decent source of physicality with offense that's passable in deeper fantasy formats.

  • Jacob Trouba D | ANA

    Ducks' Jacob Trouba: Won't play Saturday

    Trouba was put on non-roster and will miss Saturday's game in Buffalo because he's returned to Anaheim for the expected birth of his child, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

    Trouba has seven goals, 18 points, 15 PIM, 85 shots, 85 hits and 78 blocks in 44 appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. Ian Moore is likely to draw back into the lineup Saturday due to Trouba's absence. The 31-year-old Trouba might return for Tuesday's home game against Dallas.

  • Blues' Philip Broberg: Inks six-year contract

    Broberg signed a six-year, $48 million contract with the Blues on Saturday.

    Broberg has two goals, 14 points, six PIM, 58 shots, 17 hits and 71 blocks in 45 appearances with St. Louis in 2025-26. He had 29 points in 68 outings during the 2024-25 regular season. Broberg is playing out the final season of his two-year, $8 million contract and would have been a restricted free agent this summer.

  • Golden Knights' Shea Theodore: Removed from IR

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

    Following an 11-game absence, Theodore will return to a second-pairing role and should see time on the power play. He has amassed four goals, 20 points, 74 shots on net and 48 blocked shots in 31 appearances this season. Vegas returned Dylan Coghlan to AHL Henderson in a corresponding move.

  • Golden Knights' Dylan Coghlan: Returns to AHL

    Coghlan was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Saturday.

  • Zayne Parekh D | CGY

    Flames' Zayne Parekh: Won't play Saturday

    Parekh (upper body) isn't available Saturday versus Pittsburgh, per Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

    Parekh has an assist in 11 outings with Calgary in 2025-26. He joined Team Canada for the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship, but it appears that he sustained an injury during the tournament. Parekh stood out during the World Juniors, recording five goals and 13 points across seven outings. Parekh might get a top-six role with the Flames once he's healthy.

  • Wild's Matt Kiersted: On waivers

    Kiersted was put on waivers Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Kiersted has an assist and five blocks in four appearances with Minnesota in 2025-26. If he clears waivers, he could return to AHL Iowa.

Kiersted has three assists in 23 outings with Iowa this campaign.
