NHL Player News

Mukhamadullin (personal) was not at practice Friday, according to Max Miller of NHL.com.

Mukhamadullin was scratched Thursday versus Calgary in the Sharks' first game back after the Olympic break. He has three goals and four assists in 26 games this season while averaging 16:15 of ice time. He should be considered questionable against Edmonton on Saturday.

Marchenko scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.

Marchenko missed the Blue Jackets' last two games before the Olympic break due to an illness. The 25-year-old winger returned with 19:43 of ice time Thursday, his most in any game since Jan. 10 versus the Avalanche. He's now at 20 goals, 47 points, 154 shots on net, 40 hits and 30 blocked shots over 51 outings. Marchenko is a key part of the Columbus offense and should be in most fantasy lineups.

Lindholm recorded a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Lindholm's return from an upper-body injury came during the Olympics, but he was held scoreless over four appearances for Sweden. The 31-year-old center missed three contests with the issue. He's back in a top-six role and should play a large role for the Bruins down the stretch as they battle for a playoff spot. Lindholm has 38 points (18 on the power play), 72 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 34 PIM and 30 hits over 45 appearances this season.

Myers (not injury related) will join the Canucks on the road against Seattle on Saturday, Farhan Lalji of TSN reports.

Myers, who was held out for trade purposes against the Jets on Wednesday, is far from a lock to play Saturday, but this could be an indication that a trade deal fell through or that he has decided not to waive his no-movement clause. The 36-year-old blueliner is currently mired in a 21-game pointless streak, which probably isn't helping his value on the trade market.

Kuraly scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Kuraly's tally at 11:15 of the third period ended up being the game-winner against his former team. It ended a 13-game goal drought for the fourth-line center, who has been a regular in the Bruins' lineup. He's at 17 points in 58 appearances, matching his total from all 82 contests a year ago. Kuraly has added 79 shots on net, 64 hits, 36 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a plus-1 rating this season.

Geekie scored a power-play goal and added two hits in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Geekie's point streak is up to nine games (eight goals, five assists), so he doesn't look to be rusty after the Olympic break. The 27-year-old forward has matched his 33-goal total from 77 contests last season, and he's two points shy of the 57 he put up in 2024-25 as well. He's added 130 shots on net, 91 hits, 20 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Geekie has defied expectations two years running, and he's still shooting 25.4 percent in 2025-26, the best mark of any player with at least 100 shots.

Dellandrea (lower body) skated by himself while wearing equipment Friday, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Dellandrea also skated on his own without equipment earlier in the week. He's clearly making progress, but Dellandrea will almost certainly have to get into a practice and take contact before drawing back into the lineup, so his return likely isn't imminent. The 25-year-old has two goals, 11 points, 18 PIM and 117 hits in 42 appearances in 2025-26. He was last in the lineup Jan. 6.

Texier snagged a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Texier returned from a lower-body injury to represent France at the Olympics, but he went scoreless in four games for his country. The 26-year-old is filling a middle-six role with power-play time again after missing three games due to the injury. He has earned 19 points, 58 shots on net, 41 hits and a plus-9 rating over 39 appearances this season between Montreal and St. Louis, with 18 of those points coming in 31 contests for the Canadiens.

Newhook recorded a power-play assist and two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Newhook missed more than three months while recovering from a fractured ankle. The 25-year-old's injury derailed what was shaping up as a breakout season -- he's at 13 points, 25 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-7 rating over 18 appearances. Keep an eye on him in fantasy, though approach with caution, as he returned in a third-line role with 13:18 of ice time.

Kartye was claimed off waivers by the Rangers from Seattle on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Kartye had three goals and five assists in 40 outings with the Kraken, prior to being placed on waivers Thursday. The 24-year-old could provide some fourth-line help to the Rangers for the remainder of the season.
