NHL Player News

Samberg (personal) rejoined the Jets ahead of a clash with the Flyers on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Samberg was unavailable for the first game of Winnipeg's four-game road trip due to family reasons but should now be in contention to reclaim a spot in the lineup for Thursday's tilt. The defenseman is currently stuck in a five-game pointless streak during which he generated seven shots, 10 blocks and six hits. If he does play Thursday, it will likely come at the expense of Haydn Fleury.

Sanderson notched two assists in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago.

The blueliner had a hand in tallies by Brady Tkachuk in the first period and Josh Norris in the second, giving Sanderson his second straight multi-point effort. He's been a big factor in the Senators' hunt for a playoff spot, and over the last 13 games, Sanderson has erupted for four goals and 17 points.

Alexeyev was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Hershey on Thursday.

Alexeyev saw action in three minor-league games with the Bears, generating two helpers and a plus-5 rating. Even with his return to the NHL squad, minutes are going to be hard to come by for the 25-year-old blueliner barring an injury on the blue line. His last NHL appearance was Nov. 8 versus the Penguins, a game in which he logged just 12:43 of ice time.

Dumoulin scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canucks.

Dumoulin got the Ducks within a goal in the third period, but they couldn't tie the game. The defenseman has four points over his last eight outings while going plus-4 in that span. The 33-year-old is up to two goals and 16 points through 61 appearances, matching his 80-game point total from last season. If he finishes 2024-25 strong, he could reach the 20-point mark for the third time in his career. Dumoulin also has 57 shots on net, 60 hits, 91 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating for the season.

Pettersson posted an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Pettersson was back in the lineup after being a scratch Saturday versus the Kraken. The 21-year-old defenseman has earned two helpers over 11 appearances this season, and he's added 10 shots on net, 14 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He's also seeing sheltered minutes in his first taste of NHL play, averaging 12:26 per game. He may be able to hold a spot in the lineup at least until Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) can return to action.

Hronek notched two assists, three shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

These helpers were Hronek's first points in six games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. The defenseman has also gone minus-10 in that span -- he's clearly missing the presence of his usual defensive partner, Quinn Hughes, who is sidelined by an undisclosed injury. Hronek now has 20 points, 55 shots on net, 62 hits, 49 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating across 40 appearances this season.

Soucy scored a goal in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Soucy tallied at 18:51 of the second period to put the Canucks ahead 3-1. The Ducks got one goal back in the third, but Soucy's tally held as his second game-winner and third goal overall this season. He's up to 10 points, 62 shots on net, 86 hits, 92 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a minus-13 rating through 59 appearances. His defensive struggles this year have put him in danger of losing playing time, especially if the Canucks want to see what they have in Victor Mancini.

Gavrikov notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.

Gavrikov helped out on a Quinton Byfield tally in the first period. With just two helpers over his last nine games, Gavrikov isn't making a large impact on offense, but he's formed a strong shutdown pairing with Mikey Anderson for much of the season. Overall, Gavrikov has three goals, 21 points, 80 shots on net, 34 hits, 117 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 60 appearances.

Anderson logged an assist, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.

Anderson has three points over seven contests since returning from a finger injury. He's also gone plus-3 with 13 hits and 14 blocked shots in that span. Anderson continues to excel in a shutdown role, and he's also providing one of his strongest campaigns on offense with 17 points -- one shy of last year's 74-game total -- through just 56 appearances. Anderson has added 64 shots on net, 81 hits, 97 blocks and a plus-8 rating in 2024-25.

Fowler notched a power-play assist and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Kings.

Fowler had gone three games without a point before he factored on Robert Thomas' game-tying tally in the second period. This was Fowler's first power-play point since his Jan. 20 goal versus the Golden Knights. The 33-year-old defenseman is up to 23 points (four on the power play), 63 shots on net, 76 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 50 appearances between the Blues and Ducks this season.
