NHL Player News

Mueller was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

Mueller has 16 goals and 19 assists over 59 appearances for the minor-league club in his second AHL campaign. He will join the NHL roster because Evander Kane (undisclosed) is out for Wednesday's game against the Avalanche. It's unclear if Mueller will be in the lineup for the contest, but he could get a look over the last couple of weeks of the regular season.

Helenius (undisclosed) is still considered day-to-day and won't be in the lineup versus the Blues on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

With the Kings heading into a back-to-back, Helenius could be questionable, at best, to play in Thursday's clash with the Predators. The 23-year-old center hasn't scored a goal in 12 straight games while registering 11 shots, two assists and 40 hits.

Dellandrea (lower body) was taken off injured reserve ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Ducks, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Dellandrea has been sidelined for the last 30 games due to his lower-body injury. Even with his activation, whether the forward gets into the lineup versus Anaheim will depend on the availability of Igor Chernyshov (illness), who is a game-time decision.

Frederic (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Thursday's game against Chicago, per Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels.

Frederic missed five straight games due to the injury. He has four goals, six points, 58 PIM and 170 hits in 67 outings with Edmonton in 2026-27. Josh Samanski is likely to be a healthy scratch Thursday due to Frederic's return.

Ritchie scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Ritchie's point streak is up to five games (three goals, three assists). He closed out March with 11 points in 16 contests for his most productive month of the campaign. That has him up to 12 goals, 27 points (10 on the power play), 68 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 59 appearances this season.

Schenn scored a goal, added a power-play assist and logged three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Sabres.

Schenn's goal came in the final second of the game. He has six points, seven shots on net and eight hits over his last three outings. For the season, the 34-year-old center has earned 17 goals, 38 points, 111 shots on net, 163 hits, 40 blocked shots, 66 PIM and a minus-26 rating over 74 appearances between the Islanders and the Blues. He continues to center the second line, which makes him a quality multi-category option in fantasy.

Norris logged two power-play assists, two hits and six PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Norris has gone seven games without a goal, earning three assists and eight shots on net in that span. He is up to 27 points, 55 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 37 appearances in another year ravaged by injuries. Norris has primarily played in a third-line role recently.

Krebs scored a goal and added five hits in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Islanders.

Krebs put the Sabres ahead 3-2 at 16:59 of the third period, though they still had to battle to keep their lead. He's scored in consecutive contests and posted seven points over his last 11 outings. Krebs is up to a career-best 11 goals as well as 36 points, 82 shots on net, 178 hits, 76 PIM, 37 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 75 appearances.

Malkin logged an assist and five shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Malkin missed four games due to an upper-body injury. His March was chopped up by that injury and a five-game suspension, but he still managed seven points, 15 shots on net and 23 PIM over eight contests when he was in action. For the season, the 39-year-old is up to 15 goals, 53 points, 134 shots on net, 57 PIM and a plus-13 rating across 51 appearances.

Acciari scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Acciari has two goals on eight shots, an assist and a plus-4 rating over his last three games. The 34-year-old has found ways to be productive from the fourth line this season, which has been a strength for the Penguins. Acciari is up to 22 points, 88 shots on net, 64 hits, 55 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 61 appearances while also providing steady defense and penalty killing.
