  • Adam Ginning D | PHI

    Flyers' Adam Ginning: Heads to AHL

    Ginning was reassigned to Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

    Ginning has no points, two shots, four hits and five blocks in five appearances with Philadelphia in 2025-26, but he hasn't appeared in an NHL game since Oct. 25. He also has a goal and four points in 29 outings with Lehigh Valley this campaign.

  • Zeev Buium D | VAN

    Canucks' Zeev Buium: Returning to action Wednesday

    Buium (face) will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Jets, Canucks Insider reports.

    Buium landed on injured reserve after suffering a broken bone near his cheek in late January, forcing him to miss five straight games before the Olympic break. Over 51 appearances between Minnesota and Vancouver this season, he's recorded five goals, 15 assists, 31 blocked shots, 15 hits and 14 PIM while averaging 19:14 of ice time.

  • Senators' Nikolas Matinpalo: Dealing with injury

    Matinpalo will not be available against the Red Wings on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

    Matinpalo has appeared in just two games of Ottawa's last 19 games while sitting out the others as a healthy scratch. In his 30 appearances this year, the Finnish blueliner has yet to find the back of the net while managing four assists, 19 shots and 27 hits along the way.

  • Lian Bichsel D | DAL

    Stars' Lian Bichsel: Set to play Wednesday

    Bichsel (lower body) is expected to suit up versus the Kraken on Wednesday, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Bichsel will be activated from long-term injured reserve following a 31-game absence. Prior to exiting the lineup, the 21-year-old blueliner recorded just three points in 26 contests, so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a ton of offensive output from him. However, he should be capable of registering plenty of hits.

  • Mammoth's Maveric Lamoureux: Heads to minors

    Lamoureux was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Wednesday.

    Lamoureux is returning to the minors after being recalled Tuesday. He has an assist in five appearances with Utah in 2025-26. Lamoureux has also recorded three goals, 14 points and 48 PIM across 42 outings with Tucson this campaign.

  • Mammoth's Dmitri Simashev: Sent back to minors

    Simashev was reassigned to AHL Tucson on Wednesday.

    Simashev has logged 24 games in the NHL this year, recording one assist, eight hits and 23 shots while averaging 15:28 of ice time. If the 21-year-old blueliner sees additional time with the Mammoth this season, he may not play enough to offer more than low-end fantasy value.

  • John Carlson D | ANA

    Capitals' John Carlson: Ruled out Wednesday

    Carlson (lower body) will not be available versus the Flyers on Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

    Carlson is on pace to reach the 50-point threshold for the third straight year and will likely achieve his highest point total since the 2021-22 regular season, when he racked up 71 points. With the blueliner on the shelf, Dylan McIlrath or Declan Chisholm figures to step into the lineup for Wednesday's clash with Philadelphia.

  • Kris Letang D | PIT

    Penguins' Kris Letang: Activated off IR

    Letang (foot) was taken off injured reserve Wednesday.

    Letang will return to the lineup against New Jersey on Thursday after missing four straight games due to a fracture in his foot. Prior to his absence, the blueliner had an 11-game goal drought during which he notched five assists, 15 shots and 19 hits. The Montreal native will need to adjust to a new defense partner, as the team traded away Brett Kulak to Colorado on Tuesday.

  • Sharks' Lucas Carlsson: Tallies twice in AHL win

    Carlsson scored two goals in AHL San Jose's 5-3 win over Calgary on Tuesday.

    Carlsson earned his second multi-goal game of the season with this performance. He's up to 11 goals and 20 points through 46 appearances, a bit behind the pace that saw him log 23 points in 45 outings in the 2024-25 regular season. Carlsson is unlikely to get NHL minutes to close out 2025-26, as the Sharks have a bit of a logjam on defense.

  • Nick Leddy D | SJ

    Sharks' Nick Leddy: Sent back to AHL

    Leddy was assigned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday.

    Despite being sent to the minors in mid-January after passing through waivers, Leddy hasn't seen any AHL action yet this season. He has four assists, six shots on net, 26 blocked shots and four hits in 19 NHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.
