Gilbert was recalled from AHL Belleville on Saturday.

The Senators recalled the defenseman 12 days after dealing Maxence Guenette to Philadelphia for Gilbert. The 29-year-old Gilbert played four regular-season games with Ottawa in 2024-25, picking up one assist, and he signed with the Flyers in the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. The Senators placed defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Mintyukov scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Mintyukov has played in three straight games after being scratched for the three previous contests. The 22-year-old could still get pinched out of the lineup as he competes with Ian Moore for playing time. Mintyukov hasn't done much to secure his spot this season, posting one goal, four points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits, 24 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 21 outings in a third-pairing role.

Zellweger scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Kings.

Zellweger has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. The 22-year-old defenseman is up to four goals, nine points, 51 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 24 outings. Zellweger hasn't reached his full potential on offense, but he's shown growth from his 20-point effort over 62 appearances in 2024-25.

Schaefer scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Flyers.

Schaefer ended his five-game point drought with an assist in a 3-1 loss to the Bruins on Wednesday. Now, he ended his six-game goal drought with a wrister at the 8:11 mark of the second period, giving him eight goals on the year. The frontrunner for the Calder Trophy, Schaefer has 18 points (eight goals, 10 assists) across 25 games this season while posting a solid plus-9 rating.

Borgen (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

After missing seven of the last eight games, Borgen appears to be available to return to the lineup against Tampa Bay on Saturday. He has collected one goal, three points, 16 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 26 hits across 19 appearances this campaign.

Dillon scored a goal, tallied an assist, fired two shots on goal and had two hits in Friday's 5-0 shutout win over Buffalo.

Dillon lit the lamp less than two minutes into the third period before assisting Paul Cotter's goal minutes later. With the pair of points, Dillon has three goals, six assists, 20 shots on goal, 63 hits and 42 blocks through 24 games this season. The 15-year NHL veteran has provided high-level category coverage to start the season and is on pace for his eighth regular season with 100-plus blocks and 100-plus hits. Dillon's all-around showing through the first quarter of the season makes him a solid fantasy option from the blue line in deep leagues.

Andersson picked up two assists, one on the power play, while adding three shots on net, three blocked shots, one hit, two PIM and a plus-1 rating in Friday's 5-3 win over the Panthers.

The veteran blueliner continues to bolster his trade value. Andersson has produced multiple points in four of the last six games, erupting for two goals and 11 points during that stretch while also recording 17 blocked shots, 11 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-2 rating. He's up to five goals and 18 points in 26 contests on the season, putting Andersson on pace to top the career-high 50 points in 82 regular-season games he delivered for the Flames in 2021-22.

Jokiharju (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Jokiharju played a season-high 20:51 of action Friday, picking up an assist, but he also sustained an injury. The blueliner has six assists, 13 hits and 19 blocked shots across 25 games this season. The Bruins recalled Michael Callahan from AHL Providence in a corresponding move.

Callahan was recalled from AHL Providence on Saturday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Callahan is without a point in three NHL games, but he has two helpers in 12 AHL contests this season. He will join the big club on an emergency basis because of an injury to Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed). The Bruins placed Jokiharju on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Dumoulin pocketed two assists with three blocked shots, one shot on net and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

The veteran defender delivered his first multi-point performance of the season with helpers on a goal by Alex Laferriere in the first period and an Alex Turcotte marker in the third. Dumoulin had just one assist through the first 17 games of 2025-26, but he's picked up the pace a bit offensively over the last couple of weeks, contributing four assists in the past seven contests.
