NHL Player News

Allen will start Tuesday's home game against the Mammoth, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Allen drew the Opening Night start at home against the Flyers on Thursday and allowed two goals on 25 shots during the 3-2 overtime victory. He'll start for the second time in the Devils' first three games of the year Tuesday.

Stolarz will start Tuesday's home game against the Predators, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Stolarz earned the win during his regular-season debut at home against the Islanders on Wednesday, turning aside 26 of 27 shots during the 2-1 victory. He'll start for the second time over the Maple Leafs' first four regular-season matchups as he's split time with Sergei Bobrovsky in the net early in the year.

Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Murray's move back to the majors Tuesday was in correspondence to Justus Annunen (undisclosed) being placed on injured reserve. The 28-year-old netminder served as the backup for Juuse Saros in Nashville's 2-1 win over the Stars on Saturday before being sent back to Milwaukee. Murray posted solid numbers in the 2025-26 regular season with the Admirals, compiling a 22-22-2 record, four shutouts, a 2.83 GAA and a .904 save percentage. During his stint in the majors, he'll likely appear in his first NHL game since the 2023-24 season.

Lyon (upper body) was spotted practicing at Tuesday's optional morning skate, per Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic.

According to head coach Lindy Ruff, Lyon is still without a timetable for return from the injury he suffered late in the preseason. However, his presence at Tuesday's optional morning skate is a sign that he could be somewhat near returning. The 33-year-old netminder had a strong 2025-26 regular season, where he posted a 20-10-4 record, a 2.77 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 36 appearances. In his absence, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen should continue to serve as the lead option between the pipes and Colten Ellis should see an increased role as well.

The Predators placed Annunen (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Annunen missed Saturday's game against Dallas due to an undisclosed injury, and while he was initially considered day-to-day, he'll be required to miss at least a week after landing on injured reserve. Matt Murray was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday to provide additional depth behind Juuse Saros while Annunen is sidelined.

Gibson is slated to get the starting nod at home against the Senators on Tuesday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

Gibson has lost each of his first two outings despite posting an impressive 2.07 GAA and .915 save percentage. The netminder could get some offensive reinforcements soon, as Dylan Larkin (upper body) has been taken off non-roster injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's tilt. With some more scoring, Gibson should be capable of picking up plenty of wins, as he figures to see the bulk of the workload for the Wings.

Swayman made 20 saves in Monday's 4-1 loss to Ottawa.

The Bruins' defense was lackluster, to say the least, in front of Swayman. The Senators' first two goals were scored on 2-on-1 counter-attacks on the same Boston power play in the first period, while Drake Batherson's tally early in the second came on a clean breakaway from the blue line after a neutral zone turnover. The loss was Swayman's first of the season after two wins, but he's still allowed just seven goals on 81 total shots, thanks largely to a shutout of the Rangers in the Bruins' opener.

Ersson turned aside eight of the nine shots he faced after replacing Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) to begin the third period of Monday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.

Ullmark was shaken up late in the second period after a collision with JJ Peterka, but per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia, Senators coach Travis Green indicated his removal for the final frame was just precautionary. The decision still resulted in Ersson seeing his first action for his new team in a relatively low-stress situation, as Ottawa held a 4-0 lead after two periods. Ersson likely would have been in line anyway to get his first start of the season Tuesday in Detroit, but the Sens may need to summon help from AHL Belleville to back him up if Ullmark needs additional recovery time.

Vasilevskiy made 13 saves in Monday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

The Lightning out-shot the visitors 36-14 on the night, and the one puck that did get past Vasilevskiy was something of a fluke -- Tyson Foerster floated a shot through traffic that would have gone wide of the net had it not deflected off Charle-Edouard D'Astous as he battled with Porter Martone at the edge of the crease. Vasilevskiy was beaten four times in an Opening Night loss to the Rangers, but since then he's been locked in, winning two straight starts while allowing two goals on 35 shots.

Vladar stopped 32 of 35 shots in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning, with Tampa Bay's final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The 29-year-old netminder allowed a goal in each period, while the Flyers' offense had little luck solving Andrei Vasilevskiy in the other crease. Vladar has had a bumpy start to the season as he attempts to follow up his breakout 2025-26 campaign, coughing up 10 goals on 73 shots in his first two starts.
