  • Henry Thrun D | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Henry Thrun: Summoned from AHL

    Thrun was recalled from AHL Toronto on Sunday under emergency conditions.

    Thrun has four goals and 20 points in 42 AHL appearances this season. He hasn't earned a point in four NHL outings this campaign while posting four shots on net, four blocked shots and three hits. With Oliver Ekman-Larsson (personal) unavailable to play against Minnesota on Sunday, Thrun will provide the Maple Leafs with some defensive depth. However, Thrun could be a healthy scratch against the Wild if Troy Stecher draws into the lineup

    Ekman-Larsson (personal) won't play against Minnesota on Sunday.

    Ekman-Larsson has returned to Toronto for the birth of his child. He has produced eight goals, 35 points, 94 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and 75 hits across 65 appearances this season.

    Oilers' Ty Emberson: Not playing Sunday

    Emberson (undisclosed) participated in the morning skate, but he won't play against Nashville on Sunday, per Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site.

    Emberson could return "within the week," according to head coach Kris Knoblauch, but it's unclear if the 25-year-old defenseman will be ready to play against San Jose on Tuesday. Emberson has registered two goals, 12 points, 37 shots on net, 97 blocked shots and 88 hits across 60 appearances this season.

  • John Carlson D | ANA

    Ducks' John Carlson: Expected to make Ducks debut

    Carlson (lower body) is set to make his Ducks debut Sunday against the Canadiens.

    Carlson has been out with a lower-body injury since the start of the post-Olympic schedule. Despite that, he was traded from the only team he has ever known in the Capitals to the Ducks. He is finally set to make his Anaheim debut Sunday in Montreal. The 36-year-old has 46 points (10 goals, 36 assists) in 55 games on the season. He will likely see high usage in a top-four role and quarterback Anaheim's top power-play unit.

  • Blue Jackets' Jake Christiansen: Still in part-time role

    Christiansen was scratched for Saturday's 2-1 shootout win over the Flyers.

    Christiansen has played in three of eight games in March, with that playing time opening up due to the absence of Erik Gudbranson (upper body). Christiansen has earned just two assists with 24 shots on net, 26 hits and 21 blocked shots over 35 outings this season. The 26-year-old will continue to compete with Egor Zamula for playing time until the Blue Jackets' defense is at full health.

  • Devils' Brenden Dillon: Cold on offense

    Dillon's point drought reached 20 games in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Kings.

    Dillon has maintained a steady spot on the third pairing for the Devils. During his slump, he's supplied 11 shots on net, 45 hits, 20 blocked shots and 20 PIM. Dillon has 12 points, 45 shots on net, 160 hits, 84 blocks, 57 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 66 appearances this season, putting him on pace for his lowest scoring output since 2019-20, when he had 14 points in 69 outings.

  • Noah Dobson D | MON

    Canadiens' Noah Dobson: Dishes pair of assists

    Dobson notched two assists in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

    Dobson had the secondary helper on goals by Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki. The 26-year-old Dobson has a pair of two-assist games over his last seven outings, but he's gone scoreless in the other five contests in that span. For the season, he's up to 44 points, 132 shots on net, 151 blocked shots, 41 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 65 appearances in a top-four role.

  • Sharks' John Klingberg: Collects two helpers

    Klingberg logged two assists, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

    Klingberg earned his first multi-point effort since Jan. 27 versus the Canucks. He has three assists over his last four contests. Klingberg has slipped to the second power-play unit, which lowers his ceiling for scoring. The defenseman is at 10 goals, 14 helpers, 77 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 41 hits, 20 PIM and a minus-13 rating over 50 outings this season.

  • Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Nets goal in win

    Ferraro scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Canadiens.

    Ferraro gave the Sharks a lead at 11:56 of the second period. It was his first goal since Jan. 19 versus the Panthers, though the defenseman has four points over nine outings since the Olympic break. For the season, the 27-year-old is at five goals, 16 points, 74 shots on net, 108 hits, 119 blocked shots, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 64 appearances.

  • Kings' Brandt Clarke: Slides three helpers Saturday

    Clarke distributed three assists, recorded two blocked shots and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.

    Clarke was heavily involved in the Kings' offensive efforts Saturday, picking up two primary helpers in the second period before sliding the secondary assist on Anze Kopitar's record-breaking goal in the third. Clarke's trio of apples Saturday elevated him to 29 on the season, which surpassed his previous career best of 28 through 78 regular-season games a year ago. Overall, the 23-year-old blueliner has 37 points, 129 shots on net and 134 blocked shots across 66 games this season. The young defenseman has taken a step up offensively this season while maintaining his defensive impact, as he's tied for 11th in the NHL in blocked shots. The future is bright for Clarke, who profiles as a solid defenseman in nearly all fantasy formats moving forward.
