  • Sean Durzi D | UTA

    Mammoth's Sean Durzi: Exits game in final minutes

    Durzi (undisclosed) departed Monday's 2-0 loss in Tampa Bay late in the third period, and there was no update on his status postgame.

    Durzi went to the locker room after taking a hit into the boards in the final minutes of the third period, per Cole Bagley of KSL Sports. Since head coach Andre Tourigny didn't have any information to relay about Durzi's status, the right-shot blueliner should be considered questionable for the second half of the Mammoth's back-to-back against the Panthers on Tuesday.

  • Carson Soucy D | NYI

    Islanders' Carson Soucy: Dealt to divisional rival

    Soucy was traded to the Islanders from the Rangers on Monday in exchange for a 2026 third-round pick, per PuckPedia.

    Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reported earlier Monday that this trade was in the works, which resulted in Soucy being sidelined for the Rangers' game against the Bruins. Soucy will see his former team in short order, as the Islanders and Rangers will play in a home-and-home set Wednesday and Thursday. The 31-year-old defenseman will likely work in a third-pairing role when he's in the lineup for his new squad, but he also could serve as a periodic healthy scratch, especially if the Islanders choose to keep Isaiah George with the big club when Ryan Pulock returns from an upper-body injury.

  • Ducks' Mason McTavish: Won't play against Oilers

    McTavish (upper body) will remain sidelined for Monday's divisional matchup in Edmonton, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

    Lee noted that the Ducks will roll out the same lineup as Sunday's overtime win in Calgary, which rules McTavish out for a fourth straight game. The 2021 No. 3 overall pick seems to be closing in on a return to the lineup, though, as he was deemed questionable to play earlier Monday. McTavish's next opportunity to suit up will be Thursday, when Anaheim continues its road trip in Vancouver.

  • Ville Husso G | ANA

    Ducks' Ville Husso: Tending road twine

    Husso will be between the road pipes Monday against the Oilers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

    Husso has been in net just once during the Ducks' active seven-game winning streak, as he turned aside 17 of 18 shots in a 2-1 win over the Kings on Jan. 17. The 30-year-old heads into Monday's matchup as a risky option -- Anaheim is on the second half of a back-to-back, while the Oilers have been off since Saturday. Edmonton is tied for third in the NHL with 3.38 goals per game this season and is 3-2-0 in its last five contests.

  • Ducks' Mason McTavish: Status unclear for Monday

    McTavish (upper body) is questionable for Monday's road meeting with the Oilers, per NHL.com.

    McTavish has missed the Ducks' last three games, and it's unclear if he has joined the team on the road after returning to Anaheim. If McTavish remains unavailable for the remainder of the trip, which concludes against Vancouver on Thursday, his next chance to play will come versus the Golden Knights on Sunday.

  • Bruins' Nikita Zadorov: Not playing in NYC

    Zadorov (ankle) will miss Monday's road game against the Rangers.

    Zadorov will miss his first game of the campaign Monday due to an ankle injury he sustained Saturday against Montreal. The Bruins will play in the second half of a back-to-back at home Tuesday against Nashville, but it's unclear if Zadorov will be available for that matchup at this time.

  • Islanders' Calum Ritchie: Dealing with LBI

    Ritchie won't play against the Flyers on Monday and is considered day-to-day because of a lower-body injury.

    Ritchie has recorded seven goals, 15 points, 51 shots and a minus-5 rating over 40 appearances this season. The right-shot forward's next opportunity to suit up will be at home versus the Rangers on Wednesday.

  • Erik Cernak D | TB

    Lightning's Erik Cernak: Suiting up Monday

    Cernak (upper body) is available for Monday's home game against the Mammoth.

    Cernak was injured Saturday in Columbus and classified as a game-time decision earlier Monday, but he's seemingly no worse for wear after taking a hard hit from Mathieu Olivier. The 28-year-old Cernak will skate on the second pairing next to Declan Carlile versus Utah.

  • Lightning's Gage Goncalves: Good to go

    Goncalves (illness) is playing in Monday's home matchup versus Utah.

    Goncalves will avoid missing any action after being deemed a game-time call earlier Monday due to an illness. The British Columbia native will skate on the second line alongside Jake Guentzel and Dominic James on Monday.

  • Islanders' Simon Holmstrom: Not available in Philadelphia

    Holmstrom (illness) won't be an option for Monday's game in Philadelphia, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

    Maxim Tsyplakov will replace Holmstrom in the lineup Monday. The 24-year-old Holmstrom's next chance to suit up will be in the first half of a back-to-back home-and-home set against the Rangers on Wednesday.
