  • Mason Lohrei D | BOS

    Bruins' Mason Lohrei: Unavailable Sunday

    Lohrei (upper body) won't play against Columbus on Sunday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

    Lohrei is day-to-day and logged only 11:47 of ice time in Saturday's 6-3 win over Minnesota. He has seven goals, 25 points, 67 shots on net and 86 blocked shots across 68 appearances this season. Henri Jokiharju will replace Lohrei in Sunday's lineup versus the Blue Jackets.

  • Blue Jackets' Denton Mateychuk: Opens scoring early in loss

    Mateychuk scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Sharks.

    Mateychuk tallied just 31 seconds into the contest, snapping a five-game drought. The 21-year-old defenseman has shown his skills, especially as a finisher, with 12 goals and 29 points over 66 appearances. He's shooting 16.0 percent, which makes him a risky bet to replicate his efficiency in future seasons. Mateychuk has added 75 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating while mainly playing in the top four.

  • Sharks' Sam Dickinson: Playing regularly, quiet on offense

    Dickinson's point drought reached six games in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Dickinson has played in every game since the Olympic break, but he has just three assists with a minus-4 rating over 16 outings in that span. He has added 23 shots on net, 21 hits and 19 blocked shots, setting the foundation for a career that should be full of well-rounded production as a future top-pairing option. The 2024 first-round pick has earned 12 points, 65 shots on net, 63 hits, 60 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 61 appearances as a rookie this year.

  • Blackhawks' Artyom Levshunov: Has fracture in hand

    Levshunov (hand) won't play Sunday against the Devils and has no timeline for his return, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Levshunov had been playing through the fracture in his left hand for a couple of games, but the team is shutting him down for now. The team doesn't know the timeline for his return quite yet. The 20-year-old has 24 points (two goals, 22 assists) in 68 games this season.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Records three points in loss

    Karlsson scored a goal and supplied two assists in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Stars.

    Karlsson played a hand in all three goals scored by Pittsburgh in Saturday's contest, including his own goal to give the team a 2-1 lead early in the second period. With the trio of points, the 35-year-old blueliner is up to 13 goals, 47 assists, 161 shots on net and 58 blocks across 68 games this season. While he's taken a small step back defensively this season, the veteran defenseman is enjoying his best offensive season in Pittsburgh across his three years with the team. Karlsson has flipped the switch offensively since the Olympics with 25 points over his last 16 games, which leads all defensemen in that span by five points. He's on pace to reach 65 regular-season points for the seventh time in his 17-year career, giving him excellent fantasy value for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Blackhawks' Kevin Korchinski: Summoned from AHL

    Korchinski was recalled from AHL Rockford on Sunday.

    Korchinski has one assist, three shots on net, three blocked shots and one hit in four NHL outings this season. He also has two goals and 26 points in 53 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Senators' Jorian Donovan: Loaned to AHL affiliate

    Donovan was assigned to AHL Belleville on Sunday.

    During his call-up from the minors, Donovan didn't earn a point in his first two NHL appearances while posting one shot on net, two hits and one blocked shot. He has notched four goals and 17 assists in 58 AHL outings this season.

  • Lian Bichsel D | DAL

    Stars' Lian Bichsel: Adds goal in win

    Bichsel tallied a goal and put two shots on net in Saturday's 6-3 win over Pittsburgh.

    Bichsel found the back of the net for the Stars' fourth goal of the second period. With Saturday's twine finder, the 21-year-old blueliner is up to four goals, seven points, 22 shots on net 122 hits and 37 blocked shots across 42 games this season. The physical defenseman used Saturday's tally to match the goal total from his rookie season and now sits two points away from tying his career high of nine. He provides a steady output of hits and has a strong future ahead of him in fantasy leagues that value banger stats.

  • Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Two-point effort in return

    Gostisbehere (lower body) scored a goal and added an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

    The veteran blueliner helped set up a Jackson Blake tally midway through the second period before potting his own late in the third. Gostisbehere had missed the prior nine games with a lower-body injury, but he looked none the worse for wear in his return to the lineup. On the season, he has 12 goals and 45 points in just 46 contests, with his health being the only thing that has stood between Ghost and a career-best campaign.

  • Islanders' Matthew Schaefer: Two more helpers Saturday

    Schaefer notched two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 5-2 win over Florida.

    The teenage phenom helped set up tallies by Brayden Schenn and Simon Holmstrom as part of a five-goal second period for the Islanders. Schaefer has piled up four goals and 15 points in 14 March contests, and his 56 points (22 goals, 34 assists) through 74 games on the season has tied the franchise scoring mark for a rookie defenseman, set by Stefan Persson in 1977-78.
