NHL Player News

Myers (undisclosed) didn't accompany the Canucks on the team's two-game road trip, which begins against Dallas on Tuesday, Iain MacIntyre of Sportsnet reports.

Myers will miss his third straight game versus the Stars and probably will be unavailable until at least Saturday's home matchup versus Minnesota. He has generated six goals, 24 points, 87 shots on net, 125 blocked shots and 87 hits in 71 appearances this season. Due to the absence of Myers, Victor Mancini will remain in the lineup.

Manson (upper body) will not be available for Tuesday's home game versus the Golden Knights, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Manson has missed 11 consecutive games after sustaining an upper-body injury March 14 against the Flames. There hasn't been much word regarding Manson's progression in his recovery, so he shouldn't be counted on to suit up Thursday against Vancouver. Erik Johnson has seen more consistent playing time on the right side of Colorado's third pairing due to Manson's absence.

Marino (face) will not be in the lineup to face Seattle on Tuesday, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Barring something miraculous, Utah won't be making the postseason, so there is little reason to rush Marino back into action. With the veteran blueliner on the shelf, Nick DeSimone figures to play in just his 17th NHL game this year, having generated one goal and four helpers in his 16 prior appearances.

Girard (undisclosed) will not be an option versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Girard will miss his fourth straight game due to his undisclosed injury and is running out of time to play again in the regular season. While the blueliner has managed 23 points this year, the bulk of that scoring was at the start of the 2024-25 campaign, as he has managed just three points in his last 19 outings. With Josh Manson (upper body) also sidelined, the Avs will utilize Keaton Middleton and Erik Johnson on the third pairing.

Middleton (upper body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against San Jose, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Middleton will miss his second straight outing but remains day-to-day ahead of Minnesota's final three games of the 2024-25 regular season. He has registered eight goals, 20 points, 95 shots on net, 155 blocked shots and 98 hits across 66 appearances this season. Declan Chisholm will remain in the lineup until Middleton returns.

Kessel has played just twice in 16 games since his March 7 recall from AHL Springfield.

Kessel came up when Colton Parayko (knee) exited the lineup, but it's been Tyler Tucker who's picked up most of the extra playing time. It's unclear if Kessel will stick with the big club or head to the AHL once Parayko is healthy again -- the Blues may want to carry two extra defensemen during the playoffs to have extra coverage.

Broberg notched an assist and five blocked shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Jets.

Broberg has two helpers over his last six contests following his four-point effort against Montreal on March 25. The 23-year-old defenseman continues to handle top-four minutes for the Blues as he has for much of the campaign. Overall, he's produced eight goals, 21 assists, 95 shots on net, 96 blocks and a plus-20 rating through 66 appearances.

McDonagh notched an assist and two blocked shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

McDonagh has a goal and six assists over his last seven contests. The 35-year-old defenseman has had an impressive campaign, getting back to the 30-point mark for the second year in a row and the eighth time in his career. He's racked up three goals, 27 helpers, 72 shots on net, 149 blocked shots and a league-leading plus-42 rating over 77 appearances.

Martinez (hip) will not be available for Tuesday's road matchup against Pittsburgh, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Martinez will remain sidelined for an eighth consecutive game Tuesday, and his timeline for a return to the lineup is still unclear. The veteran defenseman will turn his attention to attempting to be ready for Thursday's matchup against Boston. Martinez has provided five goals and 12 points across 43 appearances in 2024-25.

Savard (undisclosed) is slated to be a game-time decision for Tuesday's matchup against Detroit, per Eric Engels of Sportsnet.

Savard didn't participate in Tuesday's optional morning skate but could return from a one-game absence. He has collected one goal, 15 points, 47 shots on net, 173 blocked shots and 54 hits across 70 appearances this season. If Savard is back, Arber Xhekaj could be a healthy scratch versus the Red Wings.
