NHL Player News

Larkin scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's loss to the Penguins.

Larkin has scored twice in the Red Wings' last four games. He has produced two goals and one assist in his last four outings. Larkin has 12 power-play goals this season and should remain a key contributor down the stretch despite the team's struggles.

Kane (undisclosed) won't play Wednesday in Colorado, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Kane is taking the game off in order to manage an injury he's been playing through recently. He has 13 goals, 31 points, 92 PIM and 110 hits in 70 outings in 2025-26. Max Sasson is expected to draw into the lineup Wednesday as a result of Kane's absence.

Chmelar scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Chmelar was limited to one assist over eight outings since his previous goal. The 22-year-old is getting an extended look in the bottom six as the Rangers evaluate some younger players' NHL readiness. Through 21 contests this season, Chmelar has four points, 17 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-3 rating. He should be in contention for a bottom-six role for 2026-27 after playing primarily on the fourth line during this stretch of NHL action in March.

Sheary scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Sheary has found a groove late in the season. He has five goals and two assists over his last 12 outings, as well as a plus-8 rating. That's nearly half of his 16 points through 55 appearances on the year. The veteran winger has added 71 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 20 hits and a plus-4 rating. Playing alongside J.T. Miller in recent contests elevates Sheary's potential, though he's still just a deep-league option in fantasy.

Severson (upper body) will miss the remainder of the regular season, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Wednesday.

Severson has already missed three straight games due to the injury. He had eight goals and 32 points across 71 regular-season outings in 2025-26. The 31-year-old might still be an option to return at some point if Columbus can secure a playoff berth.

Miller scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

Miller has two goals and four assists during a four-game point streak. The 33-year-old's tally in the first period Tuesday stood as the game-winner. Miller is up to 16 goals, 47 points (15 on the power play), 130 shots on net, 118 hits, 26 PIM and a minus-26 rating through 61 outings this season. Miller has worked fairly well alongside Tye Kartye and Conor Sheary lately while playing in a middle-six capacity.

Lundestrom (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Thursday's clash with the Hurricanes, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Luddestrom is currently mired in a seven-game goal drought during which he recorded just one shot. Filling a fourth-line role, the 26-year-old center hasn't produced enough offensive value or category coverage to make him more than a low-end fantasy option this season. If he does miss out, Luca Del Bel Belluz figures to take Lundestrom's spot in the lineup.

MacDermid was scratched for the 13th game in a row in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

MacDermid has played just once in the calendar year, which came against the Flames on March 5. The 32-year-old has one helper, 33 PIM and 13 hits over 17 appearances while averaging just 3:54 of ice time. It's telling that the converted winger, who used to be a defenseman, hasn't been able to get into the lineup even as the Senators are missing three of their usual blueliners in Thomas Chabot (forearm), Nick Jensen (knee) and Jake Sanderson (upper body), as well as two replacements in Dennis Gilbert (upper body) and Carter Yakemchuk (upper body). MacDermid may need the team's forward group to take some hits before he becomes an option. However, the Senators may not trust him to contribute while they're battling for a playoff spot.

Chernyshov will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Anaheim due to an illness, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Chernyshov has five goals and 14 points in NHL 20 outings this season. If he's not available for Wednesday's game, then Ty Dellandrea (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup. However, Dellandrea still needs to be activated from injured reserve.

Marchment will be a game-time decision against Carolina on Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

Marchment is rolling offensively right now, racking up two goals and four assists in his last five outings. If the winger does miss out Thursday, Kent Johnson could be tasked with moving into a first-line role, though Danton Heinen could also be in contention.
