NHL Player News

Borgen (upper body) took warmups on the second pairing and is expected to play Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Borgen was a late scratch Saturday versus the Blue Jackets and also missed Sunday's game versus the Red Wings. The 28-year-old appears to be set to re-enter the lineup, sending Scott Morrow to the press box. Borgen will continue to provide more defense than offense when in the lineup.

Hamilton (lower body) will return to the lineup Tuesday versus the Lightning,

Hamilton has missed four games due to the injury but is expected to return in a third-pairing role. He'll also likely feature on the power play. The defenseman has racked up seven points, 18 blocked shots and 15 hits in 14 appearances this season.

Dillon (undisclosed) is expected to play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.

Dillon missed Monday's practice, but he won't miss game action due to an undisclosed issue. He has accounted for two goals, seven points, 13 shots on net, 33 blocked shots and 49 hits across 18 appearances this season.

Hedman (undisclosed) won't play against New Jersey on Tuesday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

Hedman will miss his fourth straight game, and it's unclear when he will return to the lineup. He has 12 assists, 23 shots on net and 28 blocked shots through 15 appearances this season. Darren Raddysh has been skating on Tampa Bay's top pairing due to Hedman's absence.

Cernak (lower body) won't play against New Jersey on Tuesday, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Cernak is day-to-day and will miss at least one game. He has chipped in three assists, 12 shots on goal, 40 blocked shots and 39 hits across 18 appearances this season. With Cernak and Max Crozier (undisclosed) unavailable, Declan Carlile and Steve Santini will be in Tuesday's lineup against the Devils.

Lauzon (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Vegas recalled forward Tanner Laczynski from AHL Henderson in a corresponding move. Lauzon won't be eligible to play until at least Nov. 24 against Utah, but it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has contributed four assists, 15 shots on goal, 26 blocked shots and 57 hits through 17 appearances this season.

Callahan was recalled from AHL Providence on Tuesday, Mark Divver of the New England Hockey Journal reports.

The Bruins were expected to promote a defenseman from the minors in light of the Charlie McAvoy (upper body) injury, and it would appear Callahan is their pick. The 26-year-old Callahan has played in three games for Boston this season in which he failed to register a point while notching six blocks, three hits and two shots. Even with his promotion, Callahan is far from a lock to suit up against the Ducks on Wednesday and may have to settle for being a healthy scratch.

Borgen (upper body) will be a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Vegas, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Borgen has missed the Rangers' last two games due to his upper-body issue, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. If Borgen is given the all-clear, he will likely step into the lineup in place of Matthew Robertson. In his 18 games this year, Borgen has managed one goal and two helpers. The blueliner will be hard-pressed to reach the 20-point mark this year.

Lauzon (undisclosed) won't be an option for Tuesday's home matchup against the Rangers, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Head coach Bruce Cassidy stated that he's not sure how long Lauzon will be out for aside from Tuesday's game. Lauzon missed his first game of the season Sunday in Minnesota due to his injury. Ben Hutton will continue to skate in a third-pairing role until Lauzon is ready to return to game action.

Guenette was placed on waivers Tuesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Guenette signed a one-year contract with the Flyers after being acquired from Ottawa on Monday. If he clears waivers, he will report to AHL Lehigh Valley. Guenette had nine goals and 23 points in 58 minor-league appearances with Belleville during the 2024-25 regular season.
