Rotowire
Kampf (not injury related) will not play in Monday's home game against the Kings, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.
After being traded to the Capitals from the Canucks on Friday, he is actively dealing with the immigration process from Canada and will miss a second contest. He'll likely need to join the team for practice before Wednesday's road game in Philadelphia if he's to make his team debut without missing any more time.

Capitals' David Kampf: Joining Caps
Rotowire
Kampf was traded to Washington from Vancouver on Friday in exchange for a sixth-round pick, Darren Dreger of TSN reports.
Kampf was waived by the Leafs coming out of training camp and eventually given his outright release before signing with Vancouver. In his 38 games with the club, the 31-year-old winger notched two goals and four assists while dishing out 43 hits. None of that amounts to much in terms of fantasy value, and his move to the Capitals is unlikely to come with an increased role.

Canucks' David Kampf: Collects two points
Rotowire
Kampf scored a goal, added an assist and logged two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Flyers.
Kampf was scratched Monday in Seattle before returning to a third-line role Tuesday. The 30-year-old won't have to play above his skill level too much now that Elias Pettersson is back from an upper-body injury, which has given the Canucks more respectable center depth. Kampf has a mere three points with 14 shots on net, 15 hits, 11 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Canucks' David Kampf: Nets opening goal
Rotowire
Kampf scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
Kampf's marker was his first goal and point since he signed with the Canucks after parting ways with the Maple Leafs via contract termination in November. The 30-year-old has been pressed into significant usage, averaging 15:28 of ice time over 14 appearances, but his playing time will shrink as the Canucks get healthier. Kampf has added 11 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 10 hits so far.

Canucks' David Kampf: Inks one-year deal
Rotowire
Kampf signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Vancouver on Saturday.
Kampf had the final two seasons of his four-year, $9.6 million contract with the Maple Leafs mutually terminated Friday. The 30-year-old had one assist in four appearances with AHL Toronto in 2025-26 before becoming an unrestricted free agent. The Maple Leafs couldn't find a trade partner for him, but Kampf didn't have to wait long to sign a new deal. Kampf will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity for the Canucks, but he might spend some time practicing with Vancouver before drawing into the lineup.

Rotowire
The Maple Leafs placed Kampf on waivers Friday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
The Maple Leafs have been rumored to have had Kampf on the trade block since the beginning of free agency in order to free up salary cap space, so it's no surprise to find him on the waiver wire at this time. The 30-year-old had five goals and 13 points in 59 regular-season games in 2024-25. Should he pass through waivers, don't be surprised if he is sent to AHL Toronto.

Maple Leafs' David Kampf: Sends helper in win
Rotowire
Kampf notched an assist in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.
Kampf has found a little success on offense with a goal and two assists over his last four outings.

Kampf is now at 13 points, 45 shots on net, 49 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 58 appearances this season, which is likely to be his lowest-scoring full-length campaign in four years with Toronto.

Maple Leafs' David Kampf: Registers assist
Rotowire
Kampf logged an assist in Thursday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Sharks.

He's at five goals, seven assists, 45 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-2 rating over 56 appearances, so fantasy managers don't need to track him closely.
