NHL Player News

Frank (illness) participated in Tuesday's morning skate after missing Monday's practice, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Frank has been a healthy scratch for the last four games and may sit again versus Detroit on Tuesday. He has accounted for four goals, seven points, 21 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and 10 hits through 22 NHL outings this season.

Strome (illness) will be available for Tuesday's home game versus the Red Wings, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Strome will avoid missing his first game of the season -- he should resume his usual duties on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit against Detroit. The 28-year-old center is three points away from setting a new career high in his ninth NHL campaign.

Domi recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flames. He also recorded a plus-3 rating.

Domi has been trending in the right direction in recent weeks and has cracked the scoresheet in three of his last four contests. The 30-year-old veteran has eight points (three goals, five assists) in 12 games since the 4 Nations break, but overall, it's been a disappointing year for him with only 28 points in 59 contests.

Zary has served his two-game suspension and will be available against the Rangers on Tuesday.

Zary was struggling to produce offensively prior to his suspension, having generated points in just one of his previous nine outings. During that stretch, the winger recorded just 13 shots, four hits and four blocks, so he's also not providing much in the way of category coverage either.

Matthews recorded two power-play goals and one power-play assist in Monday's 6-2 win over Calgary.

Matthews has scored three goals over his last two appearances, and the star playmaker continues to perform at a high level while anchoring Toronto's first line as well as the first PP unit. He's cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his 12 outings, tallying six goals and 15 total points over that stretch.

Kasper netted a goal and took four shots on net in Sunday's 3-0 win against the Golden Knights.

Kasper's tally was the final goal of the game for Detroit. The eighth overall selection from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is heating up again with four points in his last three games. Overall, Kasper is up to 13 goals, 27 points and 110 shots on net in 62 games this season. He continues to center the second line for Detroit but has not yet claimed consistent power-play time. Over time, the 20-year-old should be asked to have a larger role in all situations but is making the most of his current opportunities. He has a bit of value in deeper fantasy leagues ahead of the playoffs.

McTavish recorded two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.

McTavish has racked up four goals and five assists over nine outings in March. The center also had one of his strongest games at the faceoff dot this season, winning 11 of 13 draws. The 22-year-old is up to 18 goals, 22 assists, 125 shots on net, 57 hits, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 61 appearances. He's three points shy of matching his career high, and given his momentum this month, he's got a good chance of challenging the 50-point mark by the end of the campaign.

Nesterenko scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Blues.

Nesterenko has taken over the spot of Sam Colangelo (upper body) on the Ducks' third line in the short term. He converted the Ducks' second goal Sunday off a primary assist from Cutter Gauthier. Nesterenko has three points, seven shots on net, 22 hits and six blocked shots over nine NHL outings this season. It's unclear if he'll be able to prove himself enough to stay with the big club once Colangelo or Robby Fabbri (upper body) return to the lineup.

Bolduc produced a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Bolduc saw a three-game point streak end Saturday in Minnesota, but he was right back on the scoresheet a day lately. He hasn't gone multiple games without a point since Feb. 22-23, earning six goals and two helpers over his last 10 outings. For the season, the second-year forward has 12 goals, 14 assists, 86 shots on net, 79 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 59 appearances.

Thomas logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Ducks.

Thomas has gotten back to basics in March, collecting a goal and six assists over eight games. The 25-year-old has taken strides in goal-scoring over recent years, but he's a playmaker by nature, and that's been working for him lately. Overall, the center has 17 goals, 38 helpers, 120 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating across 56 appearances.
