NHL Player News

Bordeleau (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

Bordeleau is considered week-to-week after suffering an injury early in training camp. The 22-year-old could compete for an NHL job once he's healthy, but it's likely he'll require some time with AHL San Jose since he missed most of camp.

Winterton was assigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday.

Winterton was selected in the third round of the 2021 NHL Entry Draft by Seattle. The 21-year-old didn't make the Opening Night roster, but he was among the final roster cuts, meaning he could be on the cusp of being ready for the NHL. Winterton banked 35 points in 58 regular-season games with the Firebirds in 2023-24.

Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Ivan competed for a role on the Avalanche's fourth line during training camp. While he'll be sent to the minors Monday, the move appears to be procedural, and the 22-year-old is a strong candidate to rejoin the team ahead of Opening Night. Ivan hasn't yet made his NHL debut but could see a role while Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) and Gabriel Landeskog (knee) are sidelined.

Pavel (undisclosed) was assigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Pavel had been dealing with an injury during training camp, but his demotion suggests he should be available to play soon. The 24-year-old forward earned six goals and 10 points in 61 games with AHL Colorado during the 2023-24 regular season.

Savoie was recalled from AHL Bakersfield on Monday.

Savoie was sent to the minors in late September, but he'll rejoin the NHL club ahead of the regular season. However, he made just one NHL appearance last season and will likely report back to Bakersfield before Oilers' regular-season opener against Winnipeg on Wednesday.

Sundqvist (knee) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

Sundqvist sustained a torn ACL in March and was initially expected to be ready for Opening Night, but he'll need more time to recover before he's cleared to make his season debut. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. Over 71 appearances with St. Louis last year, he tallied six goals and 21 points.

Bolduc was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Monday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Bolduc shared time between the AHL and NHL during the 2023-24 regular season, producing 25 points (eight goals, 17 assists) in 50 minor-league outings and nine points (five goals, four assists) in 25 appearances with St. Louis. He should be among the first call-ups for the Blues this campaign.

Joshua (testicular cancer) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

Joshua recently resumed skating, but he's still considered to be several weeks away from returning to game action. He underwent surgery for testicular cancer in September and will officially be forced to miss the first few weeks of the regular season. He made 63 appearances for the Canucks last year and logged 18 goals, 32 points and 245 hits while averaging 14:23 of ice time.

Vrana signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Washington on Monday, per PuckPedia.

Vrana attended training camp with the Capitals on a professional tryout agreement before landing a one-way deal with the team. The 28-year-old forward notched two goals and four assists in 21 regular-season contests with St. Louis in 2023-24. Vrana will compete for a bottom-six role with Washington during his second tour with the organization.

Bourque (undisclosed) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

Bourque has been dealing with a minor injury since late September, and even though he returned to practice last week, he'll be forced to miss the start of the regular season. The 22-year-old tallied 77 points over 71 appearances with AHL Texas last year en route to AHL MVP honors, and he could have a middle-six role for Dallas once he's healthy.
