NHL Player News

Rondbjerg (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Rondbjerg sustained the injury in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks. After moving to the IR list, he will miss at least Wednesday's game against the Canucks and Thursday's matchup against the Kings. However, it's unclear if Rondbjerg will be available to play for Denmark at the Olympics. He has one assist and six shots on goal in four games with Vegas this season.

Stolarz is slated to start Tuesday's road game against Edmonton, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports.

Stolarz has made two starts since returning from an upper-body injury in late January, and he's gone 0-2-0 with nine goals allowed on 51 shots across those outings. Joseph Woll will tend the twine during Monday's road game in Calgary, so Stolarz will defend the crease in the Maple Leafs' final matchup before the Olympic break. The Oilers rank third in the NHL with 3.45 goals per game this season.

Graves (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Monday.

Graves is far from a lock to get into Monday's matchup against the Senators, but his activation will give Pittsburgh an extra healthy blueliner. Considering the 30-year-old defenseman has just one point in 19 games, few fantasy managers will be impacted by his return.

Bryson (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

The Sabres moved Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (lower body) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. Following a four-game absence, Bryson is available to play against Florida on Monday. However, he could be a healthy scratch. He has chipped in two goals, five points, 11 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and nine hits in 33 appearances this season.

Luukkonen (lower body) was shifted to injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

In a corresponding move, defenseman Jacob Bryson (upper body) was removed from injured reserve ahead of Monday's game versus the Panthers. Luukkonen appears unlikely to play again before the break, but it's unclear if he will be ready to suit up for Finland in the Olympics.

Lindholm (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

Lindholm suffered an upper-body injury during last Tuesday's game against Nashville, and he was already ruled out for this Wednesday's matchup against the Panthers. While he'll technically be eligible to return for Thursday's game against the Blue Jackets, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Bruins hold him out ahead of the Olympic break. Lindholm is slated to play for Sweden during the upcoming Olympics, but it's not yet clear whether his injury will impact his availability.

Harris (ankle) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Providence and activated off long-term injured reserve Monday, Belle Fraser of the Bruins' official site reports.

Harris is far from a lock to play for the Bruins, even with his addition to the roster, as he'll need to edge out the likes of Mason Lohrei or Hampus Lindholm for a spot in the lineup. Still, if Harris gets into the lineup, it will be his first NHL game since Oct. 21 versus the Panthers.

Blankenburg (illness) is expected to play against St. Louis on Monday, according to Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Following a one-game absence, Blankenburg will replace Andreas Englund in Monday's lineup against the Blues. The 27-year-old Blankenburg has six goals, 21 points, 53 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 40 hits across 43 appearances this season.

Saros will be in goal at home against the Blues on Monday, per Lou Korac of The Hockey News.

Saros will be making his 43rd start of the season and is tied with Utah's Karel Vejmelka for the NHL lead. Unfortunately for Saros, that hasn't necessarily translated into wins, as he is 21-17-4 with an .895 save percentage. Considering the 30-year-old backstop is in the first season of an eight-year deal he signed with the club back in July of 2024, it's unlikely he will lose the No. 1 job even with his struggles.

Legault (hand) was activated from injured reserve and assigned to AHL Chicago on Monday.

Legault made his NHL debut early this season but sustained a hand injury in November that required surgery to repair several torn extensor tendons. However, he's been cleared to return to game action in the minors just before the NHL's Olympic break. Legault has made 65 regular-season appearances in the AHL across the past two seasons, recording three goals, 11 assists, 58 PIM and a plus-11 rating.
