NHL Player News

Parayko scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Canucks.

Parayko is up to five goals and two assists over 12 outings in January. The 31-year-old continues to impress on offense even with limited usage on the power play -- he saw 56 seconds with the man advantage Monday after receiving no power-play time over the previous three contests. Parayko is up to a career-high 11 goals while adding 17 assists, 100 shots on net, 80 hits, 122 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 51 appearances. Parayko's 28 points are his most in any of the last three seasons, and he's in an excellent position to surpass his career high of 35 points, a mark he's reached on three separate occasions.

Desharnais was scratched for the third time in eight games when he sat out Monday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Desharnais hasn't done anything to help his case to stay in the lineup. The Canucks are now giving Elias Pettersson a taste of NHL action on the third pairing. Desharnais has gone 12 games without a point, racking up 22 hits, 19 PIM and 16 blocked shots in that span. For the season, the 28-year-old is at three assists, 54 hits, 48 blocks, 34 PIM and 20 shots on net through 34 appearances. Desharnais may face further pressure for playing time once Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) can return from injured reserve.

Bahl (undisclosed) is still being evaluated and won't play against Washington on Tuesday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Bahl will miss his second straight game but could return to action soon. He has contributed two goals, 12 assists, 51 shots on net, 79 blocked shots and 67 hits across 47 appearances this season. After returning from his AHL conditioning loan, Tyson Barrie will play against the Capitals, and Daniil Miromanov will be a healthy scratch.

Hughes logged a pair of assists, including one on the power play, and three shots on goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Hughes has five goals and four assists during his six-game point streak, with three of those outings being multi-point efforts. The 25-year-old defenseman hasn't been overly reliant on the power play in that stretch, earning three points with the man advantage during the streak. He's up to 14 goals, 42 helpers, 133 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 45 contests this season.

Hamilton scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Flyers.

Hamilton has played well lately with three goals and six assists over his last 10 games. Two of those nine points have come on the power play. The 31-year-old blueliner began the season with a heavy share of minutes, but the Devils' defense has been virtually fully healthy since late October, and it's a talented group that allows the ice time to be spread around. That's meant Hamilton has averaged 19:15 per game since the start of November compared to 21:51 per game in October. It hasn't hurt his production -- he's earned 34 points, 148 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 57 hits and a plus-4 rating through 52 appearances this season.

York logged an assist, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-2 win over the Devils.

York has had a middling January, earning three points with 22 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 13 appearances. He's done well enough to maintain a top-four role, but his offense is likely to remain limited without power-play time. The 24-year-old is up to 12 points, 48 shots on net, 70 blocks and a plus-2 rating across 37 contests this season.

Brodin (lower body) won't accompany the Wild on the team's upcoming four-game road trip, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports Tuesday.

Brodin has missed the last nine games and may not return before the 4 Nations Face-Off. He has compiled four goals, 16 points, 54 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and 17 hits through 31 appearances this season. Once healthy, Brodin could bump Jon Merrill or Declan Chisholm from the lineup.

Barrie was recalled from AHL Calgary on Tuesday.

Barrie was sent to the Wranglers on a conditioning stint Jan. 24, but he's back with the big club in short order. The right-shot blueliner hasn't made an appearance with the Flames since Nov. 12 in Vancouver. Per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan, Barrie might replace Daniil Miromanov in the lineup Tuesday.

Fabbro (illness) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Fabbro still has time to recover before Thursday's clash with Vegas. He has generated four goals, 12 points, 49 shots on net, 95 blocked shots and 41 hits across 40 games between Columbus and Nashville this season. If Fabbro can't play against the Golden Knights, Jordan Harris or Jack Johnson are replacement options.

Carlo (illness) will be a game-time decision against Buffalo on Tuesday, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Carlo was absent from Boston's morning skate. He has produced one goal, six assists, 52 shots on net, 103 blocked shots and 52 hits through 51 appearances this season. If Carlo can't play, Jordan Oesterle will presumably suit up against the Sabres.
