NHL Player News

Dach (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

Dach's placement might be retroactive to when he last played in Edmonton's 3-1 win over Seattle on Saturday. He has no points, two PIM, eight hits and three blocks in three outings this season. His injury coincides with the Oilers' acquisition of Filip Hallander, who might draw into the lineup for Edmonton against Anaheim on Wednesday. If Hallander isn't available so soon after being traded, then Mathieu Joseph might play instead due to the spot in the lineup vacated by Dach.

Dickinson (foot) will be in the lineup versus Anaheim on Wednesday, Oilers play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports.

Dickinson will make his 2026-27 season debut in a second-line role alongside Trent Frederic and Kasperi Kapenen. In 17 regular-season games against the Ducks last year, the 31-year-old center registered one goal, three assists and 21 shots while averaging 15:03 of ice time.

Danielson produced an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

Danielson has opened the season on the fourth line, logging less than 10 minutes of ice time in each of Detroit's first three games. He's added just two shots on net and two PIM from that spot. The 22-year-old center won't carry much fantasy value while he's buried in the lineup, and it wouldn't be surprising for him to end up at AHL Grand Rapids once the Red Wings get healthier up front.

Roslovic scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

Roslovic has seen top-line usage at even strength at times this season. He's already picked up three points, 10 shots on net, three hits and a plus-2 rating over four contests. In the right situation, Roslovic can be an effective complementary scorer, and it appears that's exactly what he's getting in Toronto. He's worth a look in fantasy formats that focus on offense.

Tavares scored a goal on six shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Predators.

Tavares helped spark the Maple Leafs' offense with a second-period tally to answer the game's first three goals from Nashville. This was Tavares' first goal of the season, along with two assists, 14 shots on net, four blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. The 36-year-old center continues to fill a second-line role and a spot on the first power-play unit. He's reached the 70-point mark in four of the last five years and could do so again in 2026-27 as long as his usage is steady.

Hallander was traded to the Oilers from the Penguins on Wednesday in exchange for Spencer Stastney.

Hallander began the 2026-27 campaign on a high note with his first career three-point game during the Penguins' Opening Night matchup against Philadelphia. Across his first two appearances of the year, he's recorded a goal, two assists, a hit and a blocked shot while averaging 10:17 of ice time. He'll attempt to carve out playing time with his new club as the season progresses.

Toninato was recalled from AHL Rockford on Wednesday.

Toninato was waived by the Blackhawks ahead of the regular season and subsequently sent to the minors. However, he'll rejoin the major-league club after Andrew Mangiapane (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Toninato made eight regular-season appearances for the Blackhawks last year, recording no goals, an assist, 12 hits, six PIM and a blocked shot while averaging 9:09 of ice time.

Larkin scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Senators.

After a turbulent offseason that featured a public trade request and a delayed start to the campaign due to an upper-body injury, Larkin re-joined the lineup Tuesday and wasted no time demonstrating his importance to the Red Wings. The 30-year-old center gave his team a 2-1 lead midway through the first period by completing a tic-tac-toe sequence with Viktor Arvidsson and Alex DeBrincat, then Arvidsson banged home a Larkin rebound for his own tally early in the second. Detroit may give Larkin a chance to rehabilitate his value on the open market before re-engaging trade talks with other clubs, so expect him to remain in a prominent spot in the lineup -- he tied for the lead among all Wings forwards with 6:01 in power-play time Tuesday.

Suzuki produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

The star center gave Montreal a 2-1 lead early in a wild first period, snapping a shot from the top of the faceoff cirlcle past Brandon Bussi, before Suzuki helped to set up Juraj Slafkovsky late in the third as the home side tried to keep pace with the defending Stanley Cup champs. Suzuki has delivered back-to-back multi-point performances, giving him two goals and six points through three games to begin the campaign along with eight shots on net, eight hits and a plus-4 rating.

Jankowski produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Canadiens.

The checking-line center helped set up Eric Robinson for a tally midway through the first period before potting his own in the second. The points were the first of the season for Jankowski, and he doesn't offer much fantasy appeal given his role -- the 32-year-old put together 11 goals and 21 points over 68 regular-season games in 2025-26 during his first full season with the Hurricanes.
