York racked up three assists, two on the power play, in Monday's 5-2 win over Seattle.

After being held off the scoresheet in his first two games of the season, York erupted for the first three-point performance of his career. The 24-year-old blueliner missed the first two games of 2025-26 with a lower-body injury, but he's quickly regained a key role now that he's healthy, leading all Flyers defensemen in power-play ice time (1:28) and shorthanded ice time (5:11) on the night.

Ottavainen was reassigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Ottavainen was added to the Kraken roster ahead of Monday's matchup with the Flyers in the event that Ryan Lindgren (upper body) was unable to play. Rather than have the 23-year-old Ottavainen sit as a healthy scratch again versus Washington on Tuesday, the team sent him back to the minors in exchange for Ben Meyers, who will provide some emergency forward depth.

Lindgren (upper body) is in the lineup for Monday's road game against Philadelphia, per the NHL media site.

Lindgren was hit in the face with a puck in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Maple Leafs, but he'll avoid missing his first game of the season. The 27-year-old will fill his usual spot on the second pairing in addition to serving on the penalty kill.

Schuldt was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

Schuldt was called up from Abbotsford earlier Monday, but he'll head back to the minors later in the day. Over four appearances in the AHL to begin the year, he's been held pointless with four PIM and a minus-2 rating.

LaCombe notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal and two blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

LaCombe has started slowly in 2025-26 -- the helper was his first point in five games. He's still seeing massive minutes as the Ducks' top overall blueliner, so he should be able to get back on track. The Minnesota native has compiled 10 shots on net, eight hits, eight blocks and a minus-1 rating so far this year, and he's averaging 25:23 of ice time.

Ekholm provided an assist, blocked four shots, added two shots on net and went minus-3 in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

The helper was Ekholm's first point in six games this season. He's added 14 shots on net, 14 blocks and a minus-3 rating. The 35-year-old defenseman is seeing steady ice time in a top-four role, though it's unclear if he'll keep his spot on the second power-play unit one Jake Walman returns to the lineup Tuesday versus the Senators.

Bernard-Docker recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Oilers.

Bernard-Docker earned his first helper in five outings this season. The 25-year-old appears to have momentum to keep a third-pairing spot over Travis Hamonic early in the season. Bernard-Docker had eight points in 40 regular-season appearances between Ottawa and Buffalo last year, and he offers minimal upside in fantasy since he doesn't add much in the way of non-scoring production.

Gostisbehere (lower body) will not be in action versus Vegas on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Gostisbehere has been lighting it up offensively for the Hurricanes this season, recording one goal and six assists in five games. While the 32-year-old blueliner is averaging a career low 16:01 of ice time, that hasn't impacted his production thus far. With Gostisbehere shelved, Charles-Alexis Legault will likely get into the lineup against the Golden Knights.

Hanifin (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hurricanes, SinBin.vegas reports.

Hanifin will be unavailable for a sixth consecutive game due to his unspecified injury. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said Monday that he isn't yet sure whether Hanifin will travel with the Golden Knights for their upcoming road trip, which begins Saturday against the Panthers. Ben Hutton should continue to see playing time in Hanifin's absence.

Miromanov was waived by the Flames on Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

The decision to waive Miromanov likely means that Zayne Parekh will be staying up with the club for the foreseeable future. Once he clears waivers, the 28-year-old Miromanov figures to link up with AHL Calgary and could see minor-league minutes for the first time since 2023-24 when he was in the Vegas organization with AHL Henderson.
