  • Ducks' Olen Zellweger: Finds twine in win

    Zellweger scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Oilers.

    Zellweger ended an eight-game point drought with this tally, which tied the game at 4-4 early in the third period. The 22-year-old defenseman continues to see regular time in a bottom-four role, though he's rarely gotten power-play time since the start of January. He's at seven goals, 19 points, 93 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 56 appearances. That production is in line with his 20-point effort in 62 games in 2024-25, though his ice time has dipped a bit this season.

  • Cody Ceci D | LA

    Kings' Cody Ceci: Still slumping after break

    Ceci's point drought is up to 15 games after he was held scoreless in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Ceci last got on the scoresheet with a helper Jan. 7 versus the Sharks. The 32-year-old blueliner is still seeing steady playing time in a bottom-four role, though it's unclear if that's an area the Kings will be looking to upgrade ahead of the March 6 trade deadline. Ceci has just eight points with 43 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-4 rating over 57 appearances in the first season of a four-year contract.

  • Kings' Brandt Clarke: Notches two points in loss

    Clarke scored a goal, added a power-play assist, blocked three shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

    Clarke picked up his first multi-point effort since Jan. 10 versus the Oilers, and he also got his first goal since a Jan. 14 matchup against the Golden Knights. The 23-year-old defenseman has four points over his last six games, but he also carries a minus-8 rating in that span, in which the Kings have won just once. Clarke is up to a total of seven goals, 29 points, 113 shots on net, 110 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 57 appearances in a top-four role.

  • Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Garners pair of helpers

    McNabb notched two assists, four shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

    McNabb missed 19 straight games due to an upper-body injury sustained Dec. 31 versus the Predators. The 35-year-old blueliner is ready to reclaim his top-four role as a shutdown presence, which should help the Golden Knights secure their own zone. Through 39 outings this season, McNabb has five points, 37 shots on net, 65 hits, 102 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. This is the first year he's missed time since the 2021-22 campaign.

  • Luke Schenn D | BUF

    Jets' Luke Schenn: Bags apple in win

    Schenn posted an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Canucks.

    Schenn is in line for extra playing time while the Jets are missing Josh Morrissey (upper body) and Neal Pionk (undisclosed). The 36-year-old Schenn snapped a nine-game slump with his helper Wednesday. He's been limited to seven points, 31 shots on net, 133 hits, 53 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 43 appearances in a part-time role this season. While Schenn should be able to stick in the lineup in the short term, the Jets appear committed to giving Elias Salomonsson a longer look in a top-four capacity.

  • Adam Jiricek D | STL

    Blues' Adam Jiricek: Three points for Brantford in win

    Jiricek scored twice and added an assist in OHL Brantford's 5-4 win over Brampton on Wednesday.

    Jiricek ended a 17-game goal drought with this effort. He accumulated 12 helpers in that span. The Blues prospect has 15 goals, 48 points and a plus-22 rating through 46 appearances while playing a leading role on the blue line of one of the OHL's top teams.

  • Kraken's Ryan Lindgren: Exits Wednesday's game

    Lindgren (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Stars, Alison Lukan of the Kraken Hockey Network reports.

    Lindgren delivered a heavy hit on Colin Blackwell in the first period, but it was the Seattle defenseman who came away worse for wear. The 28-year-old Lindgren can be considered day-to-day for now. If he can't play Thursday versus the Blues, look for Josh Mahura or Cale Fleury to draw into the lineup.

  • Tyler Myers D | DAL

    Canucks' Tyler Myers: Out for trade protection

    Myers (not injury related) won't suit up versus the Jets on Wednesday, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK reports.

    Myers' 21-game point drought looks to be how he'll end his Canucks tenure. He has a no-movement clause, but being held out of the lineup for trade-related reasons suggests he is willing to waive it to go to a contender. A potential destination is unclear, but talks appear to be progressing.

  • Kings' Mikey Anderson: Good to go against Knights

    Anderson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve and will be in the lineup versus Vegas on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

    Considering Anderson is currently stuck in a 26-game goal drought and has chipped in just two helpers over that stretch, his return to action is unlikely to have a significant fantasy impact. Still, having the defensively-minded blueliner back on the top pairing could free up Drew Doughty to jump in offensively.

  • Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Sent down to minors

    Yakemchuk was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Wednesday.

    With Belleville not in action until Friday, Yakemchuk won't be an option for a call-up ahead of Thursday's clash with Detroit. The 20-year-old blueliner has yet to make his NHL debut and may have to wait until next season to do so. Still, with 25 points in 41 minor-league tilts this year, Yakemchuk could have decent future value in dynasty formats.
