  • Adam Ginning D | PHI

    Flyers' Adam Ginning: Slated to be promoted Friday

    Ginning is expected to be summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Friday, per Kevin Kurz of The Athletic.

    Ginning has a goal and three points in 17 outings with Lehigh Valley this season. He appeared in five games with Philadelphia back in October, recording no points, two shots, four hits and five blocks. If he plays for the Flyers during his new NHL stint, it will probably be as a member of the third pairing.

  • Ty Emberson D | EDM

    Oilers' Ty Emberson: Draws helper in win

    Emberson notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

    Emberson ended a 13-game point drought with the helper. Prior to that slump, he earned four assists in a six-game span from Nov. 25 to Dec. 9. The 25-year-old blueliner continues to see regular usage on the third pairing and the penalty kill. He's produced eight points, 23 shots on net, 57 hits, 67 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating across 39 contests.

  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: One of each Thursday

    Bouchard scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Jets.

    Bouchard has earned four points (three on the power play) during his three-game point streak. The 26-year-old defenseman remains highly productive on offense while playing massive minutes for the Oilers. He's up to nine goals, 41 points, 112 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating across 44 appearances this season.

  • Blackhawks' Kevin Korchinski: Up from minors

    Korchinski was called up by Chicago on Friday.

    Korchinski has two goals, 19 points and 36 PIM in 32 appearances with AHL Rockford in 2025-26. He hasn't played in the NHL this campaign, but he did record a goal and two points in 16 outings with the Blackhawks during the 2024-25 regular season.

  • Sean Walker D | CAR

    Hurricanes' Sean Walker: Picks up helper Thursday

    Walker logged an assist, two shots on goal and four PIM in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

    Walker ended an 11-game point drought with the helper. The 31-year-old has mostly served as a steady defensive presence for the Hurricanes this season, adding little in the way of offense. He's up to 12 points, 100 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 67 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 44 appearances in a top-four role.

  • Devils' Dennis Cholowski: Hits waiver wire

    Cholowski was placed on waivers by the Devils on Friday.

    The Devils will send Cholowski to AHL Utica, should he pass through waivers. The veteran blueliner has never established himself in the NHL, despite being selected 20th overall by Detroit in 2016. Cholowski has played 15 games at the NHL level this season, garnering one assist.

  • Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: Not traveling with team

    McDonagh (undisclosed) will not travel with the team during its upcoming five-game road trip that begins Saturday in Philadelphia, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    McDonagh has already missed the last six games after aggravating the undisclosed injury that cost him 18 games earlier in the season. The defenseman has four goals and eight points across 18 appearances this season.

  • Caleb Jones D | PIT

    Penguins' Caleb Jones: Return date in sight

    Jones (lower body) is targeting Jan. 17 against Columbus to be cleared to play, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

    Jones has been on the shelf since Oct. 25 due to his lower-body injury. The blueliner has started skating in a non-contact jersey and participating in practices. Even once given the all-clear, Jones is far from a lock to suit up on a nightly basis and would have to push Jack St. Ivany or Ryan Shea out of the lineup.

  • Flyers' Jamie Drysdale: Hits injured reserve

    Drysdale (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, per the NHL media site.

    Drysdale was injured Tuesday when he was elbowed by the Ducks' Ross Johnston. Drysdale has three goals and 18 points across 41 appearances this season. Noah Juulsen replaced Drysdale on the blue line Thursday and will remain in the lineup this weekend versus Tampa Bay. Drysdale could return as early as Wednesday in Buffalo.

  • Sabres' Mattias Samuelsson: Two points against Blueshirts

    Samuelsson scored a shorthanded goal on his only shot on net and added an even-strength assist, four blocked shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

    The 25-year-old blueliner continues to add to his career-best campaign, with his third-period shortie being his first in the NHL. Samuelsson isn't getting any meaningful power-play time, but he hasn't needed it to make an impact, and over the last 10 games he's delivered two goals, 10 points, 22 blocked shots, 19 hits, 16 shots on net and a plus-9 rating.
