  • Lightning's Declan Carlile: Leaves game in third period

    Carlile sustained an undisclosed injury in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Red Wings, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Carlile left the contest late in the game, so it's not surprising that head coach Jon Cooper didn't have a specific update after the contest. If Carlile misses more time beyond this, Steve Santini will likely draw back into the lineup.

  • Kevin Hayes RW | PIT

    Penguins' Kevin Hayes: Not playing Thursday

    Hayes (upper body) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Golden Knights.

    Hayes is no lock to play even when healthy, so it may be tough to tell when he goes back to being a healthy scratch. His next chance to play is Saturday versus the Mammoth.

  • Joey Daccord G | SEA

    Kraken's Joey Daccord: Slated to start Thursday

    Daccord is expected to start at home against Colorado on Thursday, per Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum.

    Daccord has lost his past two starts while allowing 10 goals on 63 shots (.841 save percentage). He's 18-15-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .902 save percentage in 38 outings in 2025-26. The Avalanche lead the league in goals per game with 3.78.

  • Juuse Saros G | NSH

    Predators' Juuse Saros: Guarding goal Thursday

    Saros will protect the road goal versus the Canucks on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

    Saros is 2-2-0 with 11 goals allowed on 122 shots (.910 save percentage) over four games in March. The 30-year-old is set for a favorable matchup Thursday, as the Canucks are far and away the worst team in the NHL this season.

  • Senators' Samuel Bolduc: Involved in minor-league swap

    Bolduc was acquired by Ottawa from Los Angeles in exchange for Jan Jenik.

    Bolduc has five goals and 21 points in 56 outings with AHL Ontario in 2025-26. He's expected to report to AHL Belleville as a result of this trade.

  • Jan Jenik RW | OTT

    Kings' Jan Jenik: Heading west in trade

    Jenik was traded to the Kings from the Senators on Thursday in exchange for Samuel Bolduc.

    Jenik is set to be a Group 6 unrestricted free agent after this season, since he will not have enough NHL games to be a restricted free agent. He is not eligible to play for the Kings for the rest of 2025-26 since this trade came after the NHL's trade deadline. Jenik will report to AHL Ontario after producing 17 points in 41 contests with AHL Belleville before the trade.

  • Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Exits Thursday's game

    Matthews (lower body) won't finish Thursday's game versus the Ducks.

    Matthews took a knee-on-knee hit from Radko Gudas in the second period. The 28-year-old Matthews was able to end his 12-game goal drought with a power-play tally prior to his exit, but the injury is now a much more significant concern. More should be known about Matthews' status prior to Toronto's weekend back-to-back with games in Buffalo on Saturday and in Minnesota on Sunday.

  • Mammoth's Mikhail Sergachev: Good to play Thursday

    Sergachev (lower body) is expected to play Thursday versus Chicago.

    Sergachev missed Utah's previous four games. He has 10 goals and 42 points in 61 outings in 2025-26. Sergachev is projected to play alongside MacKenzie Weegar on Thursday.

  • Blackhawks' Arvid Soderblom: Not starting after all

    Contrary to an earlier report, Soderblom isn't starting in Thursday's road game against Utah, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

    Spencer Knight is set to get the nod instead. Soderblom has a 6-10-3 record, 3.70 GAA and .876 save percentage in 20 outings in 2025-26.

  • Blackhawks' Spencer Knight: Will start Thursday

    Knight will guard the road goal versus the Mammoth on Thursday, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    A previous report indicated Arvid Soderblom will start, but it will be Knight between the pipes. The 24-year-old missed three games due to an illness, and Knight was 0-3-1 with 11 goals allowed over his four outings prior to his absence.
