Chychrun scored a goal on six shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Chychrun was playing in his 600th career game. The defenseman has five points over his last three contests and continues to impress as a top-four option for the Capitals, particularly when it comes to goal scoring. He leads NHL defensemen with a career-best 22 tallies, and his 48 points are also a career high for the blueliner. Chychrun has added 189 shots on net, 82 blocked shots, 51 PIM, 47 hits and a plus-25 rating, offering plenty of multi-category upside.

Hughes (shoulder) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News.

In a corresponding move, the Devils returned Colton White to AHL Utica. Following a 10-game absence, Hughes should return to the lineup against St. Louis on Saturday. He has registered five goals, 26 points, 104 shots on net and 39 blocked shots in 49 outings this season.

White was reassigned to AHL Utica on Saturday, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports.

White has four assists, 14 shots on goal, 16 blocked shots and 23 hits in 23 NHL appearances this season. The Devils activated Luke Hughes (shoulder) from long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Sandin picked up two assists in Friday's 3-2 win over Vegas.

The 25-year-old blueliner helped set up tallies by Pierre-Luc Dubois and Jakob Chychrun in the second period, the latter of which proved to be the game-winner. It was Sandin's first multi-point performance since Jan. 13, and over the 12 games in between, he managed just one goal and three points. If John Carlson (lower body) winds up missing a significant amount of time after sitting out this weekend's back-to-back set, however, Sandin's production could tick up.

Matinpalo (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt in Toronto, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

The 27-year-old defenseman probably sustained the injury during the 2026 Winter Olympics because he will miss his second straight NHL game following the break. Matinpalo has four assists, 27 hits and 33 blocked shots in 30 games with the Senators this season. It's unclear at this time if he will be available for Tuesday's game against Edmonton.

Girard (lower body) will be good to go for Saturday's game against the Rangers, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

Girard sat out Friday's practice, but he will be available for Saturday's matinee matchup against the Rangers. After being acquired in a trade with Colorado on Tuesday, he had one shot on goal and four blocked shots in 17:53 of ice time against New Jersey on Thursday.

Samberg notched an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Samberg has a helper in each of the last two games and three assists over his last six outings. For the season, the 27-year-old is at 11 assists, 55 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-1 rating over 42 appearances. He's set to handle a larger role while the Jets are missing numerous regulars on the blue line due to injuries.

Stanley recorded two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Stanley is getting top-pairing minutes and power-play time in the absence of Josh Morrissey (upper body) and Neal Pionk (undisclosed). The 27-year-old Stanley has enjoyed a career year with 20 points in 57 appearances, and his first helper Friday was the first power-play point of his career. He's added 94 hits, 68 blocked shots, 99 PIM, 66 shots on net and a minus-4 rating. Stanley's a pending unrestricted free agent this summer, so the Jets may offload him to a contender looking to bulk up its blue line prior to next Friday's trade deadline.

Salomonsson scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Ducks.

Injuries to multiple defensemen have left the Jets thin on the blue line. That will allow Salomonsson to get some on-the-job training as the Jets navigate the last quarter or so of the campaign. His tally at 1:27 of the third period put the Jets ahead 3-1, but it wasn't enough. Through 15 NHL contests, he's posted 21 shots on net, 16 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in a bottom-four role.

Trouba scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Jets.

Trouba has two goals and three assists over four outings in February. He got the Ducks on the board in the last minute of the second period, setting the stage for their comeback rally in the third. The 32-year-old defenseman is up to 10 goals, 27 points, 117 shots on net, 105 hits, 112 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 57 appearances. This is just the third time in his 13-year career that he's reached double digits in goals.
