NHL Player News

Leddy has been recalled from AHL San Jose by the Sharks, the team announced Sunday.

Leddy hasn't seen a ton of action this year, playing just 19 games at the NHL level and one at the AHL level. The 34-year-old has recorded four points and a minus-9 rating in his 19 NHL games with the Sharks. He'll likely just fill a depth role in this NHL stint, barring an injury to a top-six defenseman.

Leonard was summoned from AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Leonard has two goals, four points, nine shots on net, six blocked shots and eight hits in nine NHL appearances this season. He also has 27 goals and 41 points in 34 AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Slafkovsky scored two goals, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

Slafkovsky gave the Canadiens a 2-1 lead late in the second period with an even-strength goal, and then he evened things up at three goals apiece with a power-play tally at the 14:38 mark of the final frame. This two-goal performance allowed Slafkovsky to set a new career high in points. He had reached the 50-point plateau in the previous two regular seasons, but now he's up to 52 points (23 goals, 39 assists) in 62 contests in 2025-26. Slafkovsky has set career-best marks in both goals and points this season.

Suzuki recorded a goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

Suzuki contributed to three of the Canadiens' four goals in this game, and his impressive performance pushed his point streak to four games. With three multi-point efforts and nine total points (three goals, six assists) over that four-game stretch, Suzuki has been one of the most reliable fantasy options since the Olympic break.

Dobes stopped 36 of 39 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kings.

Dobes was one of the main reasons why the Canadiens got the win Sunday, but that was just another strong showing in a series of very good performances for the 24-year-old. Dobes has won six of his last eight starts, going 6-1-1 with a 3.10 GAA and an .896 save percentage. He has lost in regulation only once since the calendar flipped to 2026 and seems to be firmly entrenched as the Habs' No. 1 goaltender for the time being.

Kopitar scored a goal and took four shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Kopitar snapped a prolonged 21-game goalless skid, as this was his first goal since a 4-2 win over Utah back on Dec. 8. The veteran playmaker also missed 11 games due to a lower-body injury between Jan. 7 and Jan. 29. Kopitar has had a subpar season in 2025-26. He posted 67 points in 2024-25 while playing in 81 regular-season contests, but he's been limited to just 26 points (seven goals, 19 assists) in 47 games in 2025-26. That's subpar production for a first-line center, especially one of Kopitar's stature.

Laferriere scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Laferriere has been inconsistent with his scoring numbers, but he seems to be turning things around of late. The 24-year-old has scored in three of the Kings' last four games, a span in which he's tallied 17 shots and 15 hits as well. Laferriere has 29 points (16 goals, 13 assists) in 62 games this season.

Kuemper stopped 19 of 23 shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Kuemper was on pace to earn a win, but the Habs rallied back with two third-period goals to flip the script. Kuemper has been slumping of late and has lost three of his last four starts, going 1-3-0 with a 4.38 GAA and a subpar .844 save percentage in that span.

Fantilli recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth. He also took five shots on goal.

Fantilli cut Columbus' deficit to 4-3 with a backhander at the 13:38 mark of the third period and set up Mason Marchment's equalizer 30 seconds later. Fantilli has been one of the best players for Columbus this season and has been on a tear of late, cracking the scoresheet in all but one of his last seven outings. Over that stretch, the 21-year-old playmaker has nine points (five goals, four assists), 17 shots on goal, 18 hits and five blocked shots.

Marchment recorded a goal, an assist, four shots on goal, two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Marchment stepped up when the Blue Jackets needed him the most, setting up Adam Fantilli's goal and later scoring one of his own in a 30-second span in the third period. Marchment has cracked the scoresheet in five of his last seven appearances, tallying seven points (two goals, five assists) over that span.
