NHL Player News

Ollas was recalled from ECHL Bloomington on Thursday.

Ollas will be with the Rangers during the Olympic break. That will keep him from playing in the ECHL, but he will be sent back down following the break. This move was made so Spencer Martin can stay in a playing rhythm with AHL Hartford.

Martin was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Thursday.

Martin will return to the AHL during the NHL's Olympic break. The 30-year-old may stay there after the break if Igor Shesterkin (lower body) is ready to return when play resumes Feb. 26 versus the Flyers.

Blidh was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Thursday.

Blidh was held off the scoresheet in Thursday's 2-0 loss to the Hurricanes. He'll play with Hartford during the NHL's Olympic break.

Tarasov sustained an apparent lower-body injury in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Lightning, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports.

Tarasov was hurt on the Lightning's fifth goal, and Sergei Bobrovsky came into the game to replace him. The severity of Tarasov's injury isn't yet known. He allowed five goals on 25 shots prior to the injury. He'll have three weeks to recover while the Panthers are off for the Olympic break.

White was reassigned to AHL Utica on Thursday.

White didn't make an appearance during this stint with the big club, serving as a spare defenseman. His time with the AHL during the Olympic break will prevent him from accruing time in regards to when he would need to clear waivers again.

Hameenaho was reassigned to AHL Utica on Thursday.

Hameenaho has earned four points over nine NHL outings this season. He'll played regularly during the Olympic break, as he'll spend most or all of it with the AHL club.

Carlson (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Predators.

Carlson picked up a power-play assist in the first period and added two blocked shots in 7:03 of ice time. The defenseman will have nearly three weeks to recover during the Olympic break. If the injury isn't too significant, he should be able to suit up Feb. 25 versus the Flyers, but the Capitals will likely have some sort of update available when they reconvene during the break following some time off.

Greenway (abdomen) won't play Thursday versus the Penguins, Rachel Lenzi of The Buffalo News reports.

Greenway will miss seven straight games heading into the Olympic break. While it's possible the time off will allow him to heal, the oft-injured winger isn't a guarantee to be in the lineup once healthy.

Acciari (illness) is slated to miss Thursday's game in Buffalo, per Josh Yohe of The Athletic.

Acciari has six goals, 15 points, 46 hits and 31 blocks in 42 outings in 2025-26. Avery Hayes might be in line to make his NHL debut due to the absence of Acciari.

Wood was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

Wood will continue playing regularly at the AHL level during the NHL's Olympic break. The 20-year-old has earned 17 points, 68 shots on net and 36 hits over 46 NHL appearances this season.
