NHL Player News

Callahan (upper body) will be available to play against Minnesota on Tuesday, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

After leaving Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers early in the second period, Callahan was alongside Brandon Carlo in Monday's practice. The 25-year-old Callahan hasn't earned a point in five NHL games this season while contributing two shots on goal, six blocked shots and two hits.

Mukhamadullin was promoted from AHL San Jose on Monday.

Mukhamadullin figures to serve primarily as a depth option for the Sharks after Cody Ceci was traded to Dallas. Still, the 23-year-old Mukhamadullin could challenge Jack Thompson for a spot in the lineup. In his 10 NHL appearances this season, Mukhamadullin has managed one goal, 10 shots and seven hits while averaging 15:24 of ice time.

Lindholm (lower body) is not expected back prior to the 4 Nations Face-Off, Fluto Shinzawa of The Athletic reports.

Lindholm is being given every opportunity to get back to 100 percent before the Bruins press him back into the lineup. The 31-year-old Swede will miss three more contests in the lead-up to the international tournament, bringing his total up to 40 games on the shelf.

Kylington (upper body) was removed from injured reserve Monday.

Kylington could make his return to the lineup for the first time since Nov. 27 against the Golden Knights, a stretch of 31 games on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Still, even with Kylington taken off IR, he is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and may have to settle for a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch periodically.

Crevier (concussion) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Chicago recalled Artyom Levshunov in a corresponding move. Crevier will miss at least the next three games, starting with Wednesday's matchup versus Edmonton, but a timeline for his return is unclear. He will go through concussion protocol after being injured in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Florida. Crevier has three goals, one assist, 23 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 47 hits across 23 appearances this season.

Theodore provided a helper, added two blocks and took three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

Sunday's helper was Theodore's first since Jan. 20 where he had four assists. The 29-year-old blueliner is up to 39 assists, 45 points, 65 blocks and 103 shots on goal in 52 games this season. The defenseman's 39 helpers are tied for 14th-most in the league and third-most among other blueliners. Vegas is struggling with just two wins in its last 10 games, but if the team can gain momentum as a team, the power-play specialist should have plenty of opportunities to add to his season totals. Theodore is the strongest offensive blueliner for the Golden Knights in fantasy and a strong starter in any format.

Levshunov was elevated from AHL Rockford on Monday but is not expected to make his NHL debut, Mark Lazerus of The Athletic reports.

According to general manager Kyle Davidson, Levshunov's recall is intended to get him some NHL-level practice work while the AHL breaks for its All-Star game. The young blueliner will serve as an emergency depth option after Louis Crevier (concussion) was designated for IR but remains firmly behind Nolan Allan and Ethan Del Mastro for ice time.

Kessel was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Monday.

Kessel was a healthy scratch in Sunday's 2-1 win over Utah. He has three assists, 17 shots on goal, 20 blocked shots and 22 hits in 27 NHL appearances this season. If Nick Leddy (lower body) and Tyler Tucker (upper body) aren't available for Tuesday's game versus Edmonton, Kessel could return from the minors.

Gravel was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Monday.

Gravel has one assist, one shot on goal, four blocked shots and four hits in three NHL outings this season. He will be an option for Monday's matchup versus Ottawa but could sit as a healthy scratch.

Miller netted the game-winning goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Miller's go-ahead tally came on a slap shot with just under nine minutes to go in the contest. His goal gave the Rangers their first lead of the game. The 25-year-old defenseman is up to four goals, eight assists, 72 shots on net, 70 hits and 64 blocks across 46 appearances this season. Despite a slow start to the season offensively, Miller has five points across his last seven games. With his recent flow of offensive production, the blueliner has received more power-play opportunities. Miller provides good category coverage, and his momentum makes him a strong option on the waiver wire in deeper leagues.
