NHL Player News

Stone (upper body) will not suit up Tuesday in Buffalo and remains day-to-day, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Stone was injured Sunday in Pittsburgh and won't be an option for the first half of the Golden Knights' back-to-back as a result. Considering his injury history, it seems unlikely the right-shot winger will draw into the lineup Wednesday in Detroit as well. It remains to be seen how the lines will shake out for Vegas on Tuesday, but Alexander Holtz is expected to draw back into the lineup in Buffalo due to Stone's injury.

Schmid is expected to defend the road net against Buffalo on Tuesday, Heather Engel of NHL.com reports.

Schmid is coming off a 27-save effort in Friday's 3-2 loss to Washington. He has a 16-7-6 record this season with two shutouts, a 2.55 GAA and an. 895 save percentage through 30 appearances. Buffalo sits seventh in the league with 3.38 goals per game during the 2025-26 campaign.

Poulin has registered five goals and 11 helpers in 31 games for AHL Bakersfield.

Poulin appeared in two NHL games for the Penguins this season before being traded to Edmonton as part of the Tristan Jarry deal. Even with his decent numbers with the Oilers' affiliate, Poulin has yet to earn a call-up to the NHL roster and still hasn't made his Oilers' debut.

Wolf will protect the home goal versus Dallas on Tuesday, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Wolf has alternated wins and losses across his last four starts but has performed admirably during that time, registering a .940 save percentage and a 1.77 GAA. The California native will face a red-hot Stars squad that has won nine straight games, though it's the second half of a back-to-back for the road team, while the Flames have been off since Sunday.

Ingram will patrol the home crease against Ottawa on Tuesday, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Ingram has gone 1-2-0 since returning from the Olympic break while allowing seven goals on 59 shots. He has a 7-6-1 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.75 GAA and an .894 save percentage through 16 appearances. Ottawa sits 11th in the league with 3.29 goals per game this season.

Bobrovsky is expected to start Tuesday in New Jersey, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Bobrovsky started the season with a 17-9-1 record, but since Jan. 2, he is 5-9-0 with an abysmal .841 save percentage and a 3.75 GAA. Multiple deep playoff runs and injury woes have seemingly caught up to the Panthers, who currently sit eight points outside of a playoff spot. Bobrovsky should have a decent chance at getting in the win column Tuesday against a Devils club that is tied for last in the NHL with 2.47 goals per game in 2025-26.

Ehlers tallied a goal and fired four shots on net in Monday's 2-1 loss to Seattle.

Ehlers potted the lone goal of the game for Carolina late in the second period. With the twine finder, he is up to 16 goals, 45 points and 149 shots on net over 60 games this season. His first season with the Hurricanes has been a solid overall showing, and with over 20 games remaining, he has a good chance to reach or surpass the 60-point mark for the third consecutive season. With two goals since the Olympic break, Ehlers seems poised for a solid stretch to cap off the regular season, giving him solid fantasy value in most league formats.

Del Mastro was recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday.

Del Mastro has two goals and 16 assists in 45 minor-league appearances this season. However, he hasn't earned a point in a pair of NHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign while posting three shots on goal, three blocked shots and six hits.

Larsson supplied two assists and dished out two hits in Monday's 2-1 win over Carolina.

Larsson chipped in on both of the Kraken's goals in the second period, including the lone helper on Kaapo Kakko's opening tally. With the pair of apples, Larsson is up to 13 assists, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 81 hits and 126 blocked shots across 60 games this season. The 15-year NHL veteran has been a stable defensive presence in Seattle's top pairing this season, and he's currently tied for 10th in blocked shots across the NHL. He remains a strong option on the blue line in category-based fantasy leagues, and his recent trio of assists since the Olympic break gives him solid streaming value in standard formats.

Markstrom will tend the twine at home in Tuesday's tilt against the Panthers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Markstrom's save percentage hasn't dipped below .915 in any of his last four outings, registering a combined .931 save percentage over that stretch. With just another four victories, the veteran netminder will reach the 20-win threshold for the ninth consecutive campaign. With Markstrom starting Tuesday, fantasy managers can expect Jake Allen to guard the cage at home versus the Leafs on Wednesday.
