NHL Player News

Clarke was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.

Clarke was designated for the minors Friday, but that move was seemingly a paper transaction. The right-shot blueliner has four goals and 21 assists across 56 games this season, but most of that production came earlier in the campaign -- Clarke has recorded just four points over 20 games since the start of the new year. The 22-year-old has a ton of potential, but until he shows more to head coach Jim Hiller, Clarke will likely continue to come in and out of the lineup.

St. Ivany was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

St. Ivany was recalled Friday under emergency conditions and was a healthy scratch against Vegas. He had one assist in 19 NHL games this season before being sent down at the end of November.

Hedman (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's divisional matchup against Boston, according to Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.

Hedman was injured Thursday against the Sabres. If Hedman can't play, Nick Perbix will draw into the lineup, and Darren Raddysh will quarterback the No. 1 power-play unit. If Hedman misses his third game of the season, head coach Jon Cooper said the left-shot blueliner should be considered day-to-day. After Saturday's game, the Lightning will have two days off before a road meeting with the Hurricanes on Tuesday.

Sergachev produced two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Sergachev has five points over his last four games. The defenseman set up tallies by John Marino and Clayton Keller (on the power play) in the third period to help Utah salvage a standings point after being behind 3-1. Sergachev crossed the 40-point mark Friday and has 11 goals, 30 assists, 100 shots on net, 112 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating through 58 appearances. It's officially his second-best season for points, and he's still got time to push for the 50-point mark by the end of the campaign.

Marino scored a goal in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

Marino got his first goal of the season at 5:04 of the third period to get Utah on the comeback trail. The 27-year-old defenseman was unavailable for three months to begin the campaign due to a back injury. He's contributed seven points, 19 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 21 appearances, which is consistent with his pace of production on offense in previous years. Marino is also handling top-pairing minutes, though he focuses more on defense than partner Mikhail Sergachev, who set up his goal.

Kaiser scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Utah.

Kaiser has two goals through four games in March. The 22-year-old blueliner tied this contest at 1-1 with his second-period tally. For the season, he's at five points, 48 shots on net, 42 hits, 69 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while seeing bottom-four minutes. Kaiser was not assigned to AHL Rockford in a paper move for AHL playoff eligibility Friday, so it looks like he's here to stay in the NHL, at least through the end of 2024-25. He offers little scoring upside for fantasy.

Miller recorded an assist, four shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-1 win over the Devils.

Miller's playing time could be at risk after the Jets acquired fellow right-shot defenseman Luke Schenn at the trade deadline. The 32-year-old Miller has largely played a third-pairing role this season, earning 11 points over 47 appearances, including two assists over his last seven games. Miller and Schenn are different players in style -- Miller has a little more scoring upside, while Schenn is an ultra-physical player, so who gets the last spot in the lineup in any given game may depend on the opposing team's playing style.

Samberg logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-1 win over the Devils.

Samberg had been held off the scoresheet in the previous six games and missed one contest to attend to a personal matter. The 26-year-old defenseman is up to 14 points, a plus-26 rating, 60 shots on net, 77 blocked shots, 39 hits and 22 PIM through 42 appearances. He's not overly physical, but he's an effective shutdown defenseman and should be able to stay in the lineup even after the Jets acquired Luke Schenn at the trade deadline.

Stanley logged an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-1 win over the Devils.

Stanley's role could be at risk after the Jets acquired Luke Schenn from the Penguins at the trade deadline. Stanley ended a 10-game point drought in Friday's win. He's at 10 points, 40 shots on net, 70 hits, 61 blocked shots, 74 PIM and a plus-11 rating across 50 appearances. The one advantage Stanley has is being a left-handed shot -- Schenn's a right-handed shot and could displace Colin Miller on the third pairing. Haydn Fleury and Ville Heinola are also in the mix as the Jets look set to carry nine blueliners for a while since they have the cap space to do so with the 23-man roster limit no longer in effect.

Seider scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Seider ended an eight-game goal drought, though he managed three assists in that span. Four of his last five points have come with the man advantage, which remains a strength for the Red Wings as a whole -- they're converting at 28.7 percent, which is second to only the Jets (32.2 percent) this season. Seider has earned 19 of his 37 points on the power play. He has added 126 shots on net, 172 hits, 141 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 63 appearances in 2024-25.
