Devon Toews D | COL
Avalanche's Devon Toews: Offers pair of helpers
Toews logged two assists and two PIM in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.
Toews snapped a four-game point drought with this effort, which was his second multi-point outing of the season. The defenseman had a hand in goals by Martin Necas and Nathan MacKinnon in the first period. For the season, Toews remains defensively steady despite a drop in offense. He's at 17 points, 90 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 20 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-28 rating across 51 appearances.

Mikhail Sergachev D | UTA
Mammoth's Mikhail Sergachev: Records assist in return
Sergachev notched an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Sergachev led the Mammoth with 26:31 of ice time in his return from a four-game absence due to a lower-body injury. The defenseman had five points over six contests prior to the injury, and he'll look to get right back into form with new defense partner MacKenzie Weegar. Sergachev is at 10 goals, 33 helpers, 131 shots on net, 103 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 62 appearances.

Alex Vlasic D | CHI
Blackhawks' Alex Vlasic: Sets up game-winner
Vlasic notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.
Vlasic has earned three helpers over six games in March. The 24-year-old defenseman has gone 16 contests without a multi-point effort, but his offense looks to be improving. He's earned 17 points, 65 shots on net, 93 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 64 appearances this season, mainly in a top-four role with minimal power-play usage.

Wyatt Kaiser D | CHI
Blackhawks' Wyatt Kaiser: Status uncertain after late exit
Kaiser (upper body) left Thursday's game versus the Mammoth late in the third period, and his status for Saturday versus the Golden Knights is up in the air, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Kaiser appeared to sustain an upper-body injury. Given how late it was in the game when he left, the lack of an update comes as no surprise. If he can't play Saturday, Ethan Del Mastro will draw into the lineup.

Declan Carlile D | TB
Lightning's Declan Carlile: Leaves game in third period
Carlile sustained an undisclosed injury in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Red Wings, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Carlile left the contest late in the game, so it's not surprising that head coach Jon Cooper didn't have a specific update after the contest. If Carlile misses more time beyond this, Steve Santini will likely draw back into the lineup.

Samuel Bolduc D | NYI
Senators' Samuel Bolduc: Involved in minor-league swap
Bolduc was acquired by Ottawa from Los Angeles in exchange for Jan Jenik.
Bolduc has five goals and 21 points in 56 outings with AHL Ontario in 2025-26. He's expected to report to AHL Belleville as a result of this trade.

Mikhail Sergachev D | UTA
Mammoth's Mikhail Sergachev: Good to play Thursday
Sergachev (lower body) is expected to play Thursday versus Chicago.
Sergachev missed Utah's previous four games. He has 10 goals and 42 points in 61 outings in 2025-26. Sergachev is projected to play alongside MacKenzie Weegar on Thursday.

Ian Mitchell D | DET
Lightning's Ian Mitchell: Dealt in AHL deal
Mitchell was traded to the Lightning from the Red Wings on Thursday in exchange for Wojciech Stachowiak and Michael Milne.
Mitchell, a defenseman, was traded for two forwards since Detroit's NHL injuries have depleted AHL Grand Rapids' depth. Mitchell had 20 points in 45 games with the Griffins before the trade. He will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Darren Raddysh D | TB
Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Set to return
Raddysh (personal) is expected to play Thursday versus the Red Wings, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.
Raddysh missed Tuesday's game while attending his father's memorial service, but he has rejoined the Lightning. Look for Raddysh to fill a top-pairing role with power-play time moving forward.

Uvis Balinskis D | FLA
Panthers' Uvis Balinskis: Expected to miss Thursday's game
Balinskis (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Thursday versus Columbus.
Balinskis has five goals and 15 points in 54 outings in 2025-26. Michael Benning was called up from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, and he's projected to make his NHL debut against the Blue Jackets.
