NHL Player News

Hintz (lower body) is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season and is questionable for Game 1 of the postseason, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Hintz has missed the last 17 games with the injury. He has 15 goals and 29 assists across 53 appearances this season. Once he returns for Stanley Cup playoff action, he should return to his role as a top-two center.

Lindgren (upper body) partook in a full practice Friday and is questionable for Saturday's tilt in Pittsburgh, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Lindgren was pummeled Sunday, allowing eight goals on 33 shots in an 8-1 loss to the Rangers. It was his first action since March 12, and the netminder was not in uniform Wednesday against the Maple Leafs. Head coach Spencer Carbery said Friday that Lindgren is still day-to-day. He is 9-8-3 with a 3.52 GAA and an .879 save percentage across 21 games this season.

Sanderson pocketed two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

The 23-year-old blueliner delivered his second straight multi-point effort, helping to set up tallies by Drake Batherson in the first period and Artem Zub in the third. Sanderson has two goals and five points in four games since returning from an upper-body injury, and on the season he has 13 goals and 53 points in just 66 contests, putting him four points away from tying the career-high 57 he recorded in 2024-25, with three games left in the regular season for the Senators.

Zetterlund scored two goals, one the game-winner, in Thursday's 5-1 win over Florida.

The 26-year-old winger produced his first multi-goal performance since Dec. 21 while extending his modest point streak to three games. Zetterlund has fallen to a bottom-six role over the course of the season, and through 79 contests he's managed 16 goals and 31 points, his lowest output since 2022-23.

Ullmark made 22 saves in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

Jesper Boqvist spoiled his shutout bid late in the third period on a shot that Ullmark still got a piece of. The 32-year-old netminder has won three straight starts as the Senators inch closer to locking up a playoff spot, and over his last 12 outings Ullmark has gone 8-3-1 with a 2.57 GAA and .904 save percentage.

Bobrovsky turned aside 21 of 25 shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Ottawa, with the Senators' fourth goal getting scored into an empty net.

The veteran netminder came up with some big stops to keep the game close through two periods, but the Panthers' patchwork blue line eventually fell apart in the third. Bobrovsky has given up four or more goals in four of his last seven outings, going 3-4-0 over that stretch with a 3.36 GAA and .867 save percentage as Florida plays out the string on a disappointing season.

Vilen was summoned from AHL Utica on Friday.

The Devils are down to six healthy defensemen as Luke Hughes (undisclosed) and Brett Pesce (lower body) appear to be out for the remainder of the season. Vilen, who could make his NHL debut in one of the final three games of the regular season, has four goals and 20 assists in 59 AHL contests this season.

Daws was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday.

Daws has appeared in just one game for the Devils this season, but he'll join the NHL club for practice Friday. It's not yet clear whether he'll remain with New Jersey for the team's back-to-back set against Detroit and Ottawa on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, but if Jacob Markstrom and Jake Allen are available, they'll likely be the Devils' top goaltending options.

Allen stopped 25 of 29 shots in Thursday's 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh, with the Penguins' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

The 35-year-old netminder saw his record on the season fall below .500 at 16-17-2 as he stumbles toward the finish line in 2025-26. Allen has given up at least three goals in five straight starts, going 3-1-1 over that stretch despite a shaky 3.35 GAA and .885 save percentage.

Crosby picked up two assists in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Devils.

The 38-year-old had a hand in tallies by Egor Chinakhov in the second period and Evgeni Malkin in the third. Crosby has reeled off three straight multi-point performances, and over 11 games since returning in mid-March from a lower-body injury he's delivered two goals and 15 points. He remains one goal away from his 14th career 30-goal campaign with three games left in the regular season for the Penguins.
