NHL Player News

Tynan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Thursday.

Tynan was a healthy scratch in the Avalanche's only game since being recalled Nov. 17. The 32-year-old journeyman has one assist in seven NHL games this season. Tynan had seven assists in eight AHL games before his recall.

Staal scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Staal continued his recent success with a third-period tally. He has two goals, five assists and a plus-6 rating over his last seven contests as the Hurricanes continue to get production from the third line. The center has a total of eight points with 20 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-9 rating through 18 outings overall.

Roslovic scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

Roslovic had nine goals through the first 12 contests of the season, but his offense turned cold during a five-game slump. He snapped that drought with a third-period tally Wednesday. The 27-year-old winger is still seeing top-line minutes at even strength, though he was limited to 12:33 of ice time against the Flyers. He's now at 10 goals, one assist, 46 shots on net and a plus-5 rating through 18 appearances this season.

Granlund (upper body) will be in action to face St. Louis on Thursday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Granlund will avoid missing any time after being injured in Wednesday's matchup with Dallas. The 32-year-old center is riding a three-game point streak while racking up three goals and five assists in his last seven outings. With Granlund fully fit, he figures to maintain his first-line role alongside William Eklund and Fabian Zetterlund.

Hyman (undisclosed) will be out of action against Minnesota on Thursday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Hyman will miss out Thursday while mired in a six-game goal drought during which he put 15 shots on net. After putting up 77 points in 80 regular-season games last year, Hyman is struggling to produce at that level in 2024-25 and is currently on pace to barely break the 30-point threshold. An extended injury absence certainly won't improve his chances of stringing together points.

Poehling scored his first goal of the season in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.

The 25-year-old center used a partial screen from a Carolina defender to sneak a shot past Pyotr Kochetkov early in the second period. Poehling's checking-line role gives him little fantasy appeal, but he is on pace for a career-best season with seven points through 17 appearances.

Paul (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup against Columbus on Thursday after head coach Jon Cooper told reporters, "He will be out tonight so we will reevaluate him in Tampa when we get back," per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun.

Paul will be sidelined for the first time this season, having played in all 17 games for the Bolts. In those outings, the 29-year-old winger has notched five goals, eight assists and 25 shots while averaging 16:24 of ice time. As long as Paul doesn't spend a significant chunk of time on the shelf, he should be capable of reaching both the 20-goal and 40-point thresholds for the second consecutive campaign.

Tavares collected two assists in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Both points came in the third period as the Leafs pulled away. Tavares has picked up his scoring pace since Auston Matthews (upper body) was sidelined, and over the last six games the 34-year-old center has four goals and eight points.

Minten scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-0 victory over the Golden Knights.

In just his fifth career NHL game and his first of the season, the 2022 second-round pick opened the scoring by snapping home a slick feed from William Nylander midway through the first period. That was all the offense Joseph Woll would need on the night. Minten missed the beginning of the campaign with an ankle injury, but in five games for AHL Toronto after getting healthy he recorded two goals and four points. The 20-year-old has the skills, speed and hockey IQ to fill a middle-six role for the Maple Leafs while the team deals with a rash of injuries, and he even saw some power-play shifts Wednesday. Minten could have some short-term fantasy value until the Toronto forward ranks are closer to full strength.

The Blue Jackets activated Johnson (shoulder) from injured reserve Thursday.

Johnson was off to a great start with two goals and three assists in his first four games before a shoulder injury knocked him out of the lineup, forcing him to miss 14 games. Johnson, who was selected fifth overall in 2021, is expected to play alongside Adam Fantilli and James van Riemsdyk on the second line Thursday when Columbus hosts Tampa Bay. He should also see power-play time on the second unit as he is eased back into the lineup.
