  • Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Not playing Tuesday

    Gostisbehere (lower body) won't play against Montreal on Tuesday, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

    Gostisbehere will miss his ninth straight game, and it remains unclear when he will be available to return. He has generated 11 goals, 43 points, 98 shots on net and 50 blocked shots across 45 appearances this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Ready to rock

    Rielly (lower body) will be back in the lineup against Boston on Tuesday, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

    After sitting out Saturday's 5-2 loss to Ottawa, Rielly will return to a top-four role and should see time on the power play against the Bruins on Tuesday. He has accounted for nine goals, 33 points, 125 shots on net and 96 blocked shots across 67 appearances this campaign.

  • Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Summoned from minors

    Yakemchuk was recalled from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

    Thomas Chabot (right arm) and Lassi Thomson (lower body) were injured in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers, which necessitated Yakemchuk as well as Jorian Donovan being brought up from the minors. The 20-year-old Yakemchuk has yet to make his NHL debut but was the No. 7 overall pick in 2024. With Belleville this season, the right-shot blueliner has accounted for 10 goals, 36 points and a minus-30 rating over 50 appearances.

  • Senators' Lassi Thomson: Dealt tough hand in return to NHL

    Head coach Travis Green stated after Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers that Thomson (lower body) will be out for a while, according to Julian McKenzie of The Athletic.

    Making his first appearance in the NHL since the 2022-23 campaign, Thomson logged two shots in just 4:25 of ice time before being unable to finish Monday's contest. Thomas Chabot (right arm) is also set for an absence, leaving the Senators extremely shorthanded ahead of a crucial divisional matchup in Detroit on Tuesday. Green said that two defensemen will be elevated from Ottawa's minor-league affiliate ahead of the team's second half of a back-to-back.

  • Senators' Thomas Chabot: Set to miss time

    Head coach Travis Green said after Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers that Chabot (right arm) will be out for a while, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

    Chabot joins a growing list of injured Ottawa defensemen, as the team currently has only four healthy players on the blue line. Green relayed that two players from AHL Belleville will be brought up ahead of Tuesday's divisional matchup in Detroit. More information on Chabot's timeline for a return to the lineup may not be available until the team returns to Ottawa.

  • Senators' Lassi Thomson: Exits early Monday

    Thomson (lower body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's road game against the Rangers.

    Thomson left Monday's game midway through the second period. He was the second blueliner for Ottawa to depart the contest, as Thomas Chabot left the game late in the first period due to an injury to his right arm. With the Senators playing the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday, Thomson will likely carry the questionable tag until further information is provided. If he can't go Tuesday, the Senators will likely weigh the option of calling up the 20-year-old defenseman Carter Yakemchuk, who is one of the top prospects in their minor-league system.

  • Senators' Thomas Chabot: Injured in Manhattan

    Chabot has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's road game against the Rangers due to a right arm injury.

    Chabot was cross-checked by J.T. Miller at the end of the first period. Lassi Thomson (lower body) was also injured Monday, leaving the Senators with four defensemen for the rest of this game against the Rangers. The Senators play in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Detroit, so Chabot should be considered questionable, at best, for that matchup at this time.

  • Adam Boqvist D | NYI

    Islanders' Adam Boqvist: Pockets helper in rare outing

    Boqvist logged an assist in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Boqvist got into the lineup for Ryan Pulock (lower body) in this game. It was just the second appearance for Boqvist in the Islanders' last 19 contests, but he was able to make it count with an assist to end his 14-game point drought. The defenseman has just two helpers all season to go with eight shots on net, 11 hits, 19 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 22 appearances. Boqvist will likely return to the press box once Pulock can get back in the lineup.

  • Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Puts away goal in win

    Chatfield scored a goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.

    This was just the second goal of the season for Chatfield. He snapped an eight-game point drought with the tally. The 29-year-old defenseman fills a shutdown role in the Hurricanes' top four, which explains his limited offense. For the season, he's at 16 points, 87 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 34 hits and a plus-15 rating over 63 appearances, production roughly in line with what he's done over the last couple of years.

  • Red Wings' Axel Sandin-Pellikka: Loaned to AHL affiliate

    Sandin-Pellikka was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

    Sandin-Pellikka has been a healthy scratch for seven straight games, and he will probably get into a game or two at the AHL level. However, it's unclear if he will return to the NHL immediately afterward. He has accounted for six goals, 19 points, 62 shots on net and 51 blocked shots across 63 appearances with the Red Wings this season.
