NHL Player News

Prishchepov was recalled from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Prishchepov was sent to the AHL on Monday but will rejoin the Avalanche after a brief stint with the Eagles. The 20-year-old has made five NHL appearances this year, tallying eight hits, three shots on goal and a blocked shot while averaging 7:52 of ice time.

Tynan was called up by the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Tynan has four assists in six appearances with AHL Colorado in 2024-25. He also has dressed in six outings with the Avalanche this season, collecting an assist, two PIM, four shots, four hits and three blocks. Tynan will probably be in the lineup Wednesday as a member of the fourth line.

Eller won't be an option against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Eller is likely still finalizing things after being traded from Pittsburgh to Washington on Tuesday, so it shouldn't come as a surprise he won't be immediately pressed into service. Considering the 35-year-old center spent seven years with the Caps, Eller should be fairly comfortable readjusting to his surroundings. He figures to move into a third-line center role and should be a heavy factor on the penalty kill.

Schenn scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.

The 33-year-old center opened the scoring midway through the second period, snapping a 13-game goal drought by tapping home a rebound with the man advantage. It was just Schenn's second goal of the season and first power-play point, and through 16 contests he's managed only six points despite a consistent shift in the top six and on the first power-play unit.

Goncalves was recalled from AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Goncalves was sent to the AHL on Saturday but will rejoin the Lightning a few days later. Over two appearances with Tampa Bay this year, he's logged two hits and a minus-1 rating while averaging 10:12 of ice time. He could enter the lineup for Thursday's game against Winnipeg if Brayden Point (lower body) is unavailable.

Chytil notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Jets.

Chytil snapped a three-game slump with the helper. He's up to nine points, 35 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 14 appearances in a third-line role this season. Chytil's scoring pace has slowed down amid a rough patch for the Rangers' offense, but he should still be a steady depth option at center for fantasy managers in need of points and shots.

Namestnikov scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Namestnikov has three goals and two assists over six games in November. He isn't slowing down after an impressive October, and Namestnikov continues to see regular middle-six minutes and power-play time for the 15-1-0 Jets. For the season, Namestnikov has five goals, seven assists, 19 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 16 appearances. His 26.3 shooting percentage will drop, so fantasy managers may want to pivot to a hot hand once the 31-year-old's offense dips.

Vilardi scored a power-play goal on three shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Vilardi stretched his point streak to eight games with the tally. In that span, he has six goals and four assists, and four of those 10 points have come on the power play. The 25-year-old looks to be setting himself up for a breakout campaign with 14 points (six on the power play), 35 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 16 appearances. That's approximately a 70-point pace over a full campaign -- Vilardi's career high is 41 points in 63 outings in 2022-23 with the Kings, though he had a better per-game rate with 36 points in 47 regular-season outings last season.

Amadio scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

This was Amadio's second straight game with a goal. He's earned all four of his points this season over the last seven contests. The 28-year-old remains in a third-line role, and he's seeing time on the second power-play unit, though he has yet to earn a point with the man advantage. Amadio has added 21 shots on net, 17 hits and 10 PIM through 15 appearances. If Amadio can sustain a better scoring pace, he could help fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Norris scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Maple Leafs.

Norris scored just 41 seconds into the game, and that was ultimately all the support Linus Ullmark needed in the win. This was Norris' second straight game with a goal, which follows a stretch of four contests without a point for the center. He's up to six goals, 10 points, 27 shots on net, 36 hits, 15 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 15 outings this season. The 25-year-old can provide category coverage in fantasy while seeing top-six minutes.
