NHL Player News

Brodin (undisclosed) is not suiting up for Monday's game in St. Louis, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Brodin is probably being rested, as the Wild are locked into the third spot in the Central Division. Minnesota will play in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday against Anaheim, but it's unclear if Brodin or any of the other team's regulars will suit up for that contest at this time.

Gustafsson-Nyberg (not injury related) is set to make his NHL debut Monday in St. Louis, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Gustafsson-Nyberg will skate on the third pairing next to Matt Kiersted on Monday. The 22-year-old Gustafsson-Nyberg played in 38 games with the University of Connecticut in the NCAA this season, registering 11 helpers and a plus-18 rating. He reported to AHL Iowa after signing an amateur tryout with Minnesota on April 6 and recorded one assist across two appearances.

Spurgeon (rest) will play in Monday's road game against the Blues, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Spurgeon is back in Minnesota's lineup after he received a day off Saturday. Overall, the 36-year-old blueliner has six goals, 22 points, 88 shots on net, 81 hits and 136 blocked shots across 78 games this season. With the Wild resting both Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber on Monday, Spurgeon will draw a top-pairing assignment alongside Daemon Hunt.

Hague (upper body) is unavailable for Monday's home matchup versus San Jose, per Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site.

Hague's last chance to return to the lineup in the regular season will be Thursday versus the Ducks. The left-shot blueliner's injury is seemingly not a minor one, as Monday's matchup has major playoff implications.

Lundkvist (illness) will miss Monday's road matchup against the Maple Leafs, per the NHL Media Site.

Lundkvist will miss his third consecutive game Monday with an illness. Across 51 contests this season, the 25-year-old blueliner has eight assists, 11 points, 46 shots on net, 26 hits and 47 blocked shots. His last chance to return to the Stars' lineup prior to the playoffs is Wednesday's road game in Buffalo.

Reinbacher notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

This was Reinbacher's NHL debut, and he saw 11:17 of ice time. The Canadiens tend to shelter their third-pairing defensemen, so don't expect Reinbacher to get many minutes even if he's able to stay in the lineup during the ongoing absences of Noah Dobson (upper body) and Alexandre Carrier (upper body). The 21-year-old Reinbacher has 24 points in 57 AHL outings this season.

Hutson notched two assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Hutson has a goal and four assists over his last six outings. The defenseman came away with his first power-play point since March 7 versus the Kings when he helped out on an Ivan Demidov tally in the second period. Hutson is at 12 goals, 66 helpers, 20 power-play points, 124 shots on net, 134 blocked shots and a plus-37 rating over 81 appearances in a standout second NHL campaign.

Fabbro recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

Fabbro ended a 16-game point drought with the helper. He's moved around the lineup a bit in that span, though he's mostly been in a top-four role since Damon Severson (shoulder) exited the lineup. Fabbro has just 11 points with 67 shots on net, 64 hits, 118 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating over 73 appearances this season.

Harris produced an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Harris has played twice over the last five games. The 25-year-old may also be in the lineup Tuesday versus the Devils if the Bruins opt to continue resting Charlie McAvoy or Hampus Lindholm, or if another player rotates out of the lineup. The helper was Harris' third point in eight appearances this season, as he's mainly been confined to a depth role and also missed over three months due to an ankle injury.

Gustafsson-Nyberg (not injury related) will be a game-time decision against St. Louis on Monday, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Gustafsson-Nyberg signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Minnesota on Thursday. He had one assist in two games for AHL Iowa after finishing his second season with UConn in 2025-26. If his paperwork clears in time for Monday's matchup against the Blues, then he will make his NHL debut.
