Psenicka notched two assists in WHL Portland's 5-0 win over Moose Jaw on Tuesday.

Psenicka earned just his second multi-point effort of the season. He's essentially doubled his scoring pace in 2025-26 with 14 points over 27 outings, compared to seven points in 24 regular-season games last year after joining Portland midseason. The Mammoth prospect, a second-round pick in 2025, may never be a big scorer, but he tracks as a potentially strong shutdown defenseman as a professional.

Moser scored a goal Tuesday in a 2-1 shootout win over the Penguins.

Moser was J.J. on the spot at the crease when Arturs Silovs dropped a puck in the crease, and he stuffed it under the netminder. The defenseman has 15 points, including five goals, and a remarkable plus-37 rating in 43 contests this season. Moser has gone on a few multi-game point streaks this season. No guarantees this time, but we won't rule it out either.

Heiskanen (personal) is away from the team to tend to a family matter and will not play Tuesday versus the Ducks.

Heiskanen's absence will likely be covered by Ilya Lyubushkin. It's unclear if Heiskanen will be back in time for Thursday's contest versus the Mammoth, which is the last one of the Stars' current road trip.

Mailloux signed a one-year, $850,000 contract extension with the Blues on Tuesday.

Mailloux has produced just two points over 31 appearances with the Blues this season, but the defenseman has done enough to keep the team's interest. He'll likely finish out 2025-26 in a third-pairing role, and he'll have to compete for his spot in 2026-27, though his contract is a one-way deal.

Hague (illness) won't be in the lineup against Edmonton on Tuesday.

Hague is day-to-day and will miss at least one game, but he has some additional time to recover ahead of Friday's matchup against Colorado. He has earned two goals, nine assists, 26 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and 51 hits through 37 outings this campaign. Justin Barron will replace Hague in Tuesday's lineup.

Severson (illness) won't play against Calgary on Tuesday.

Severson will miss at least one game, but it's unclear if he will be ready to play against Vancouver on Thursday. He has accounted for three goals, 17 points, 59 shots on net, 48 blocked shots and 31 hits in 45 outings this campaign. After being summoned from AHL Cleveland on Tuesday under emergency conditions, Dysin Mayo will replace Severson in the lineup versus the Flames.

Parekh (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Derek Wills of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Parekh continues to recover from his injury, which is believed to have occurred during his time with Team Canada at the World Junior Championship. The 19-year-old defenseman is not a lock for the Flames' lineup once healthy, but he should play most of the time he's on the roster to gain experience.

Chychrun (illness) won't play against Montreal on Tuesday, according to Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Despite participating in Tuesday's morning skate, Chychrun will miss his second straight game. He has registered 15 goals, 32 points, 150 shots on net, 57 blocked shots and 39 hits across 45 appearances this season.

Ginning was loaned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Ginning was recalled from the minors Friday, but he'll return to the minors following a brief stint with the Flyers. The 2018 second-round pick's demotion might be an indication that Jamie Drysdale (upper body) will be ready for Wednesday's game against the Sabres. Ginning has a goal, three points, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 17 outings with the Phantoms in 2025-26.

Dillon registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Since the start of December, Dillon has collected three helpers, 20 PIM, 50 hits and 22 blocked shots over 21 appearances. The 35-year-old is part of a crowded blue line, and that has limited him to the third pairing, where he can provide physicality but little offense. The defenseman has a total of 12 points, 34 shots on net, 115 hits, 64 blocked shots and 37 PIM across 46 contests this season, while his 17:53 average ice time is the lowest it's been since 2018-19.
