NHL Player News

Phillips was called up by Winnipeg on Thursday.

Phillips has five goals and 19 points in 44 appearances with AHL Manitoba in 2025-26. He's also played two outings with Winnipeg in 2025-26, recording no points, two PIM, three shots, one hit and one block over those appearances.

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

Saros is set to make his third start in five games since the Olympics. He has lost his last three results at the NHL level, giving up 12 goals on 98 shots in those contests. The Bruins have scored seven goals over their last three games, winning two of them.

Kemell was called up from AHL Milwaukee on Thursday, Nick Kieser of Lower Broad Hockey reports.

Kemell is the latest player to get a call-up from Milwaukee as the Predators continue to sell leading up to the trade deadline. The 21-year-old will likely be in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Bruins if he is able to get to the arena on time. The trade of Michael Bunting to Dallas created the need for Kemell's call-up.

Lizotte (lower body) is available for Thursday's game against Buffalo.

Lizotte has seven goals, 19 points, 25 PIM, 43 hits and 28 blocks in 49 appearances in 2025-26. He missed Tuesday's game against Boston because of the injury. Kevin Hayes is set to be a healthy scratch versus the Sabres due to Lizotte's return.

Woll will protect the road goal versus the Rangers on Thursday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Woll is set to get a favorable matchup, though this is the second half of a back-to-back for the Maple Leafs. The Rangers are sitting Vincent Trocheck and Sam Carrick for roster-management reasons in this contest. Woll has lost his last two outings, allowing eight goals on 63 shots in those contests, so he's far from a lock for a good performance even against a depleted roster.

Wright was summoned from AHL Ontario on Thursday, according to John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.

Wright has 17 goals and 30 points in 54 outings with Ontario in 2025-26. The Kings had a free roster spot after trading Warren Foegele to Ottawa on Thursday in a deal that also included draft picks.

Fabbro (lower body) isn't available Thursday versus Florida.

Fabbro has four goals, nine points, 18 PIM, 51 hits and 88 blocks in 54 outings in 2025-26. His exit from the lineup will likely result in Jake Christiansen playing against the Panthers.

Luukkonen will guard the road goal versus the Penguins on Thursday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Luukkonen has won his last two outings, giving up just three goals on 66 shots in those games. The 26-year-old has been splitting time with Alex Lyon, who is also on a roll. Luukkonen will face a team that has 12 goals over four games since the Olympic break.

Sergachev (lower body) will miss Thursday's game against Philadelphia.

Sergachev is considered day-to-day, so there's still a chance he'll be an option Saturday in Columbus. In the meantime, Dmitri Simashev is expected to draw into the lineup against the Flyers. Sergachev has 10 goals, 42 points, 36 PIM, 31 hits and 100 blocks in 61 outings in 2025-26.

Werenski (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Panthers, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Werenski is missing his third straight game. The 28-year-old defenseman's next chance to play is Saturday versus the Mammoth. Dante Fabbro (lower body) is also out, so Jake Christiansen and Egor Zamula will both be in the lineup.
