NHL Player News

Lindgren (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus the Canucks, per the NHL media site.

Lindgren will miss his second straight game. The Kraken have yet to provide an update on his status, but considering he's not on injured reserve, he's likely still in the day-to-day range. Lindgren's next chance to play is Monday versus the Hurricanes.

Doughty (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Flames, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Doughty was injured Thursday versus the Oilers, and it will cost him at least one full contest. Jacob Moverare is expected to enter the lineup Saturday, likely in a third-pairing capacity. It's unclear if Doughty will be ready to go for Monday's game versus the Avalanche.

Rinzel (illness) won't play against Colorado on Saturday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Rinzel has one goal and one assist in the past three games. He has provided two goals, 10 points, 51 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 28 hits in 32 NHL outings this season. Kevin Korchinski will replace Rinzel in Saturday's lineup.

Parayko is expected to miss Saturday's game against New Jersey and Sunday's match in Minnesota due to back spasms, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Parayko has a goal, 14 points, 16 PIM, 67 hits and 141 blocks in 58 appearances with St. Louis in 2025-26. Matt Kessel is set to draw into the lineup due to Parayko's absence. The 32-year-old Parayko might be an option to return Wednesday in Seattle.

Fleury (upper body) will be taken off injured reserve and play Sunday versus San Jose, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Fleury hasn't been in the lineup since Dec. 19 because of the injury. He has no points, six PIM, 11 shots, 23 hits and 26 blocks in 17 outings with the Jets in 2025-26. Ville Heinola might be a healthy scratch Sunday or even reassigned to AHL Manitoba due to Fleury's return.

Regula has completed his conditioning stint with AHL Bakersfield and is back with the Oilers, the team announced Saturday.

Regula has been with Bakersfield since Feb. 18. He has a goal and three points in three outings with the AHL squad as well as three assists across 29 appearances with Edmonton this season. Regula is frequently a healthy scratch with the Oilers, so his stint in the minors was an opportunity for him to get into some games.

Booth was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.

With the Kings placing Andrei Kuzmenko (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Booth was summoned to Los Angeles in the corresponding move. Across 42 games with Ontario this season, the 21-year-old blueliner has nine assists, 10 points, a plus-one rating and 29 shots on goal. Booth will have a chance to make his NHL debut with the Kings if he can work his way into one of the top three pairings or if Drew Doughty (lower body) misses time.

Mukhamadullin (personal) will be in the lineup against Edmonton on Saturday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Mukhamadullin was a healthy scratch against Calgary on Thursday and missed Friday's practice for personal reasons. He has three goals and four assists over 26 games this season. Mukhamadullin will replace Timothy Liljegren in Saturday's lineup.

Chychrun scored a goal on six shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Chychrun was playing in his 600th career game. The defenseman has five points over his last three contests and continues to impress as a top-four option for the Capitals, particularly when it comes to goal scoring. He leads NHL defensemen with a career-best 22 tallies, and his 48 points are also a career high for the blueliner. Chychrun has added 189 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 51 PIM, 47 hits and a plus-25 rating, offering plenty of multi-category upside.

Hughes (shoulder) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

In a corresponding move, the Devils returned Colton White to AHL Utica. Following a 10-game absence, Hughes should return to the lineup against St. Louis on Saturday. He has registered five goals, 26 points, 104 shots on net and 39 blocked shots in 49 outings this season.
