NHL Player News

Carlsson (lower body) was placed on waivers Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

After moving past an injury he sustained during training camp, Carlsson will report to AHL San Jose if he clears waivers. He had 10 goals and 23 points in 45 minor-league appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

Guhle scored a goal on four shots, added three hits and logged seven PIM in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Guhle's game-winning tally came with 15 seconds left in the third period. The 23-year-old missed some time due to a groin injury in the preseason, but he's handled a top-four role to begin 2025-26. Guhle has a goal, four shots, 10 hits, five blocks and seven PIM over three contests, giving him some appeal in fantasy for his category coverage. However, he won't come anywhere near the scoring potential of teammates Noah Dobson and Lane Hutson.

Sanheim scored a goal on two shots and blocked four shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Sanheim has played monster minutes early in the season, averaging 28:25 per game to begin 2025-26. He's added three shots on net and six blocked shots. It looks like head coach Rick Tocchet will lean on Sanheim heavily and give him power-play time as well. Sanheim's offense dipped from 44 points in 2023-24 to 30 points last year, but he's in position for a bounce-back campaign if the Flyers' offense cooperates.

Samuelsson notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Bruins.

Samuelsson has five hits, five blocks and a minus-1 rating in addition to his assist over two games. The 25-year-old is holding onto a top-four role, but he won't see the same level of ice time as Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power or Bowen Byram. That said, as long as Samuelsson can avoid lapses in his own zone, he should be a consistent part of the lineup.

Peeke notched an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Peeke continues to see a steady role as a shutdown defenseman in the Bruins' top four. He's already posted 13 blocks and five shots on net over three contests. Last season, he had a career-high 17 points while adding 105 hits and 126 blocks in 76 outings, which he can be reasonably expected to match as long as his ice time is steady.

Harris notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Harris drew into the lineup for Hampus Lindholm (lower body), though Nikita Zadorov picked up the extra minutes. The 25-year-old Harris had been a healthy scratch for the first two games of the season. He's used to the press box by now after making just 33 appearances with the Blue Jackets last season. Harris is unlikely to have a path into the lineup when the Bruins' blue line is at full health.

Buium recorded a power-play goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Buium has logged over 20 minutes of playing time in his first two appearances this season, but unlike what happened in the 5-0 win over St. Louis on Thursday, this time he managed to crack the scoresheet. This was Buium's first multi-point performance of his NHL career, and even though it's been only two games, the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft seems to be shaping up for an excellent rookie year in 2025-26.

Werenski had one goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Wild.

Werenski scored 1:11 into the third period to give the Blue Jackets a 4-2 lead, and he also assisted on two of Kirill Marchenko's three goals, one of which came on the power play. Werenski is coming off a career-best season in 2024-25 with 82 points, including 23 goals, in 81 regular-season contests, and he should be among the most productive defensemen in the league once again as long as he stays healthy.

Kleven expects to play Monday against the Predators, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Kleven began the season on injured reserve with an undisclosed injury, and Monday's contest would be the first game in which he would be eligible to play. The 23-year-old played in 79 games last season, registering 10 points (four goals, six assists) while averaging 14:28 of ice time per night. Should he suit up Monday, he would likely play third-pair minutes.

Girard (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

The Avalanche recalled Jack Ahcan from AHL Colorado on Sunday for the team's two-game road trip, which begins against Buffalo on Monday. Girard sat out Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to Dallas and is week-to-week. He hasn't earned a point in two appearances this season while posting three blocked shots and two hits.
