NHL Player News

Hill is expected to start on the road against the Kings on Wednesday, per Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Hill has a 4-3-3 record, 3.28 GAA and .870 save percentage in 12 appearances in 2025-26. This will be a rematch against the Kings after he turned aside 32 of 33 shots en route to a 4-1 victory over the Kings on Feb. 5. The match was Vegas' final game before the Olympic break. Los Angeles is tied for 29th in goals per game with 2.54 this season. The Kings are welcoming Artemi Panarin to the lineup after acquiring him from the Rangers, but they're now without Kevin Fiala, who sustained a leg injury during the Olympics.

Carlsson (thigh) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Oilers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

Carlsson hasn't played since mid-January due to a thigh procedure, but he'll return to game action during the Ducks' first matchup following the Olympic break. Across 44 appearances this year, he's recorded 18 goals, 26 assists and 29 PIM while averaging 19:28 of ice time.

Ginning was reassigned to Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.

Ginning has no points, two shots, four hits and five blocks in five appearances with Philadelphia in 2025-26, but he hasn't appeared in an NHL game since Oct. 25. He also has a goal and four points in 29 outings with Lehigh Valley this campaign.

Granlund has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Oilers due to an upper-body injury, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Granlund's upper-body injury is believed to be a short-term concern, but he'll be unavailable for the Ducks' first game following the Olympic break. Head coach Joel Quenneville said Wednesday that Granlund is expected to skate Thursday and could return to game action Friday against Winnipeg.

Dostal is expected to start at home against Edmonton on Wednesday, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Dostal was red hot before the Olympic break, posting an 8-1-0 record, 1.96 GAA and .930 save percentage across nine appearances. That's a huge difference from how the 2025-26 campaign has gone overall. He has a 21-13-2 record, 2.92 GAA and .897 save percentage in 38 outings with Anaheim this season. Edmonton is tied for fourth in goals per game with 3.41 in 2025-26.

Forsberg was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home versus Vegas.

In his last five outings, Forsberg is 2-1-2 with a 2.31 GAA and a .924 save percentage. The Swede figures to serve primarily as the No. 2 option behind Darcy Kuemper the rest of the way, but he should still see a decent amount of work outside of back-to-backs. Look for Kuemper to get the nod at home against Edmonton on Thursday.

Lankinen (not injury related) will serve as the backup netminder during Wednesday's home game against Winnipeg, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Lankinen was initially poised to miss Wednesday's matchup while making his way back from the 2026 Winter Olympics. However, he has rejoined the team and will be Nikita Tolopilo's understudy against the Jets.

Tolopilo is set to start at home against Winnipeg on Wednesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Tolopilo is 3-3-1 with a 3.04 GAA and a .910 save percentage in nine appearances with Vancouver in 2025-26. He also has a 3.07 GAA and an .897 save percentage in 19 outings with AHL Abbotsford this campaign. Winnipeg was struggling with a 3-4-3 record across its last 10 games before the Olympic break, but Vancouver has fared even worse with a 2-7-1 record in its past 10 outings.

Buium (face) will return to the lineup Wednesday against the Jets, Canucks Insider reports.

Buium landed on injured reserve after suffering a broken bone near his cheek in late January, forcing him to miss five straight games before the Olympic break. Over 51 appearances between Minnesota and Vancouver this season, he's recorded five goals, 15 assists, 31 blocked shots, 15 hits and 14 PIM while averaging 19:14 of ice time.

Rossi (lower body) will be taken off injured reserve and play Wednesday versus Winnipeg, per Canucks Insider.

Rossi has five goals and 15 points in 25 appearances between Minnesota and Vancouver in 2025-26. Rossi is poised to serve on the second line alongside Drew O'Connor and Brock Boeser (concussion). Aatu Raty and Max Sasson will probably be healthy scratches to accommodate the returns of Rossi and Boeser.
