DeAngelo (lower body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Stars, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

DeAngelo exited Tuesday's game against the Blackhawks due to a lower-body injury, and he was absent from Thursday's morning skate. He'll be unavailable for at least one matchup, while his next opportunity to return will be Saturday against the Panthers.

Pulock (lower body) is deemed a game-time call ahead of Thursday's matchup with Dallas, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Pulock has missed the last two games due to his lower-body injury. Prior to his absence, the 31-year-old blueliner was mired in a 12-game goal drought during which he managed just two assists, 22 blocks and 12 shots. If Pulock can't play, Isaiah George figures to step into the lineup in his stead.

Fox recorded two power-play assists and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Fox has a goal and 10 assists over 13 outings in March after missing nearly all of December and January due to injuries. The 28-year-old defenseman will miss the 60-point mark for the first time since 2020-21, but he's maintained his usual high-end scoring pace with 39 points, 73 shots on net and 63 blocked shots over 45 appearances this season. Over a full season, that would put him around a 70-point pace, which is his established peak in his career.

McCabe scored a goal, blocked four shots, doled out two hits, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

McCabe took advantage of a second chance, capitalizing after a loose puck popped out of a net-front scramble in the first period. The 32-year-old defenseman has three points over his last four contests, though he still earns his money in the defensive zone. He's put up four goals, 23 points, 66 shots on net, 173 blocked shots, 95 hits, 48 PIM and a plus-14 rating over 71 appearances this season.

Samuelsson (illness) is expected to be in the lineup Wednesday versus the Bruins.

Samuelsson participated in the Sabres' morning skate, so it's not much of a surprise that he's able to play in this contest. He'll be in a top-pairing role alongside Rasmus Dahlin. Samuelsson has three helpers and seven blocked shots over his last four games.

Bernard-Docker signed a two-year, $3.2 million contract extension with the Red Wings on Wednesday.

Bernard-Docker will nearly double his yearly pay on his new deal. The 25-year-old has gotten into 55 games for the Red Wings, but he has just four assists to go with 83 blocked shots, 58 hits and a plus-5 rating while mainly featuring on the third pairing. The extension suggests the Red Wings see him as an NHL player, but he may not be in the lineup on a full-time basis in 2026-27.

Hedman (personal) is taking a temporary leave of absence, the Lightning announced Wednesday.

Hedman missed Tampa Bay's past three games due to an illness, which has led to Emil Lilleberg playing regularly. Hedman has a goal and 17 points in 33 appearances in 2025-26. He will regain his top-four role once he's ready to return.

Desharnais notched an assist and five hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.

Desharnais missed one game due to an upper-body injury. The 29-year-old defenseman is back in the lineup in a bottom-four role now, giving him minimal appeal in fantasy. He's earned just six points with 25 shots on net, 77 hits, 68 blocked shots and 60 PIM over 41 outings this season, though that doubles his point total from 51 contests a year ago.

Josi scored a goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Josi snapped a 14-game goal drought, a span in which he had eight assists and a minus-10 rating. The 35-year-old defenseman hasn't had a multi-game point drought since Jan. 3-10, but he's been more steady than explosive on offense lately. For the season, the captain has 12 goals, 48 points, 157 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating through 59 appearances.

Skjei scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and went plus-4 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Skjei has four points over his last four contests, adding a plus-8 rating in that span. The 31-year-old defenseman has had few strong stretches this season despite playing in a top-four role regularly. He's now at two goals, 23 points, 99 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 61 hits and a minus-4 rating over 71 appearances overall.
