NHL Player News

Bahl (lower body) has returned to Calgary for evaluation and will miss the rest of the Flames' road trip, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Thursday.

Bahl will miss Thursday's game in Colorado and Saturday's clash in Seattle. He has four goals, 18 points, 47 PIM, 114 hits and 99 blocks in 76 outings in 2025-26. Brayden Pachal is projected to draw into the lineup due to Bahl's injury.

Hague (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Utah, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Hague remains day-to-day due to his upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for a third consecutive matchup. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but his next opportunity to do so will be Saturday against the Wild.

Lundkvist has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Wild due to an illness, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Lundkvist hasn't missed a game since mid-December, but he'll be unavailable for at least one matchup due to his illness. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next opportunity to do so will be Saturday against the Rangers.

Jones broke his foot during Tuesday's game in Montreal and is out for the remainder of the season, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

It has been a tough season for the 31-year-old defenseman, who missed 26 games earlier in the season when he suffered an upper-body injury Jan. 2 against the Rangers. He ends the season with seven goals and 25 assists in 52 games, including 16 points on the power play. He had been hot of late with a goal and seven assists in his last eight games. Marek Alscher will enter the lineup for Jones against Ottawa on Thursday.

DeAngelo (lower body) will return to the lineup versus Toronto on Thursday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

DeAngelo sat out six games with the injury suffered March 24 versus Chicago. He has five goals and 28 assists with 67 blocked shots across 72 games this season. DeAngelo is expected to see second-unit power-play time versus the Maple Leafs.

Chabot (broken forearm) will return to the lineup versus Florida on Thursday, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Chabot was deemed to be out of action for 4-8 weeks after he underwent surgery March 26, but he had a phenomenal recovery and will suit up just two weeks after his surgery. Chabot has seven goals and 24 assists over 55 contests this season. He is expected to play alongside Jordan Spence as well as see time on the second power play unit.

Hughes (undisclosed) will undergo a procedure and will miss the remainder of the season, it was announced Thursday.

The Devils are out of the playoffs and with only four games remaining in the regular season, it was decided that Hughes would have the surgery and get a head start on being ready for training camp in September. Hughes ends the season with six goals and 29 assists, including 13 points on the power play, over 68 appearances in 2025-26, his worst performance in his three-year NHL career. Look for Hughes to have a better 2026-27 campaign, and he could surpass the 50-point mark, if he is able to stay healthy. Simon Nemec will replace Hughes on the top power-play unit for the remainder of the season.

Bouchard logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Bouchard has five points over four games in April, including a trio of power-play assists. His effort Wednesday got him over the 90-point mark for the first time in his career. He's at 21 goals, 70 assists, 215 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and a plus-23 rating through 79 appearances. Bouchard is 11 points ahead of the Blue Jackets' Zach Werenski for the scoring lead among blueliners.

Hutson scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

Hutson has netted two of his three goals into a vacant cage so far. The 19-year-old blueliner's instincts on offense are still apparent, as he's earned eight points, including five on the power play, over his first 11 outings. He's added 19 shots on net, 11 hits, four blocked shots and a minus-3 rating. Hutson continues to see sheltered minutes on the third pairing, but he looks ready to step into a larger role if necessary.

Fehervary scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

It was a rare big game on offense for Fehervary, who helped out on a Dylan Strome goal in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. Fehervary hadn't scored since Feb. 2 versus the Islanders, and he had just three helpers over 21 contests in between tallies. The defenseman is up to five goals and 25 points over 78 appearances, exactly matching his offensive production from 81 regular-season outings last year. He's added 71 shots on net, 106 hits, 174 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-14 rating while filling a shutdown role in the Capitals' top four.
