NHL Player News

Hofer will start Sunday's road game against Anaheim, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Hofer has been strong since the Olympic break, going 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA and .952 save percentage over his last three starts, and he'll draw the start for the fourth time in six games since the layoff. The Ducks are generating 3.27 goals per game this season, which is tied for 12th in the league.

Unger Sorum logged three assists in AHL Chicago's 7-6 loss to Texas on Sunday.

Unger Sorum has gone nine games without a goal, but he's earned eight assists in that span. The Norwegian forward is up to 11 goals and 37 helpers through 53 appearances in his second AHL campaign. A second-round pick in 2023, Unger Sorum shouldn't have to do too much more to get a look in the NHL, though the Hurricanes' roster is a tough one to make.

Suzuki logged three assists in AHL Chicago's 7-6 loss to Texas on Sunday.

Suzuki has just one goal since the start of February, but he's added 10 assists in 12 contests in that span. For the season, he's at 10 goals and 33 helpers over 51 appearances. He's added a plus-18 rating, as the Wolves are having one of their better seasons with a hearty crop of prospects biding their time for a call-up to the Hurricanes.

Trineyev scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Hershey's 5-4 loss to Providence on Sunday.

Trineyev had hit a rough patch recently, picking up just two assists over his previous 10 games before Sunday's breakout. The 24-year-old forward is now at 11 goals, 28 points and 96 shots on net over 47 appearances. Trineyev's production is a career high in his third AHL campaign, but he hasn't done enough to be a consistent call-up option to the NHL.

Duke scored twice in AHL Syracuse's 4-1 win over Utica on Sunday.

Duke has been rolling lately with eight goals and six assists over his last 11 outings. The forward is up to 29 goals, 20 assists, 112 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 56 appearances. Duke hasn't received a call-up this season, but his AHL production suggests he should be in the mix if the Lightning opt to go for a prospect.

Milic posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 1-0 win over Toronto on Sunday.

This was Milic's second shutout of the season. He's at a 13-7-4 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 25 outings this season. Those are career-best numbers for the 22-year-old goalie, though he continues to share the AHL crease with Domenic DiVincentiis.

Foudy scored twice and added an assist in AHL Bridgeport's 5-4 win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

Foudy has set a career high with 21 goals in 46 contests in the AHL this season. He had 20 goals and 45 points in 70 regular-season outings last year, and he's at 36 points this season. The 26-year-old forward hasn't gotten a call-up to New York this season, but he has stayed prepared with strong play in the AHL.

Gaucher scored twice in AHL Lehigh Valley's 5-4 loss to Bridgeport on Sunday.

Gaucher is up to 15 goals and 29 points over 53 appearances this season. He's picked up the pace significantly of late, earning five goals and six assists over his last nine outings. The 24-year-old forward could be a call-up candidate for late in the season, but that's far from guaranteed to happen, as the Flyers have other prospects to get a look at.

Ryabkin scored a goal and added two assists in QMJHL Charlottetown's 3-2 overtime win over Quebec on Sunday.

Ryabkin was held off the scoresheet Saturday to end an eight-game point streak, but he bounced right back. The Hurricanes prospect has already earned 15 points over five games in March and is up to 12 goals and 37 points through 17 contests in the QMJHL this season.

Moore has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Stars due to an apparent injury, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Moore exited Sunday's matchup in the first period after going down with an undisclosed injury, and he was ruled out at the start of the second period after he wasn't on the bench following intermission. Prior to his departure, he recorded an assist in 1:49 of ice time. It's not yet clear whether his injury will force him to miss additional time.
