NHL Player News

Domi (lower body) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Utah, according to David Alter of The Hockey News.

Domi will miss his second consecutive game as he sat out Wednesday against Vegas. He has been in a big scoring slump, with nary a point in his last 13 games. Domi could return to action as early as Wednesday in Florida.

Dickinson (hand) is expected to be in the Chicago lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Flyers, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Dickinson was considered a game-time decision, but the 29-year-old center will ultimately suit up Saturday. Dickinson has four goals and seven points through 20 games this season.

Gregor (undisclosed) will miss his fourth straight game Saturday versus Vancouver.

Gregor has a pair of goals and an assist in 16 games this season, with both goals being game-winners. Once healthy, Gregor will fill a spot on the fourth line and be instrumental on the penalty kill.

Richard was assigned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Richard was productive in his first stint with the Flyers, netting a pair of goals and six points in seven games. However, with Cam York returning from an upper-body injury, the 27-year-old Richard will head back to the AHL.

Matthews (upper body) skated before Saturday's practice, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Matthews had not been seen skating since Nov. 10, making this an encouraging development. He left before Saturday's practice started, which probably means he won't play in Sunday's tilt against Utah. Still, Matthews could suit up in Wednesday's matchup versus Florida. He has missed the last seven games. Matthews has five goals and 11 points in 13 contests this campaign.

Svechkov was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Saturday.

Svechkov, selected by the Predators with the 19th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, was recalled after a big start at the AHL level, where he potted five goals and added three assists in seven games. He could make his NHL debut against the Jets on Saturday. The Predators sent Adam Wilsby down to Milwaukee in a corresponding move.

Zegras registered an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Zegras set up a Drew Helleson tally in the first period. With a goal and three helpers over his last four contests, Zegras appears to be breaking out of the slump that has plagued him for much of the first quarter of the campaign. The 23-year-old forward has seven points, 36 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 12 hits and a minus-4 rating over 19 games this season.

Carlsson logged an assist in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Carlsson has two goals and three assists over his last six games. It's worth noting he has just three shots on net in that span -- while the reduced shot volume isn't a great sign, he had seven shots on net during a four-game slump that preceded this uptick in offense. The talented center is up to 11 points, 28 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 19 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Lundestrom scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Sabres.

Lundestrom tipped in a Ross Johnston shot for the Ducks' second goal. This was Lundestrom's third goal of the campaign, with two of them coming over the last six games. The 25-year-old is at four points, 17 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 17 appearances. He's filling a defense-first role in the bottom six, so don't expect him to string together many point streaks this season.

Kulich scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over the Ducks.

Kulich scored at 4:00 of overtime, following up a rebound to complete the Sabres' comeback from a 2-0 deficit. This was his first point in three appearances since he returned from AHL Rochester. Kulich has seen third-line usage for the most part, though as a young player, his ice time may fluctuate with his performance. He has two goals, 25 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating over 11 NHL appearances in 2024-25 while averaging 14:07 per game.
