NHL Player News

Dries was called up from AHL Grand Rapids on Wednesday under emergency conditions.

Dries has 20 goals and 27 points in 48 appearances with AHL Grand Rapids in 2025-26. He's a veteran of 122 regular-season NHL games, but he hasn't played at the top level since the 2022-23 campaign. If Dries draws into the lineup Thursday in Tampa Bay, it will probably be as a member of the bottom six.

Frondell scored a goal in Djurgardens' 6-4 win over Vaxjo on Tuesday in the SHL.

With the goal, Frondell has 18 tallies and 25 points through 41 appearances this season. That's an excellent level of production for an 18-year-old playing in the SHL, and it's a showcase of the high-quality shot that made him the No. 3 overall pick in 2025. Frondell seems likely to get a look in training camp with the Blackhawks ahead of the 2026-27 campaign, though no official decision has been made as to where he'll start next season.

Schenn registered an assist, five shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

Schenn's homecoming to St. Louis came just four days after his long-time NHL team dealt him to the Islanders. The 34-year-old helped close out a comeback for his new team, setting up Mathew Barzal's tally in overtime. Schenn is up to 29 points, 93 shots on net, 141 hits, 49 PIM and a minus-23 rating over 63 appearances this season. He's taken over as the second-line center for the Islanders, bumping Calum Ritchie to the wing.

Pageau scored a goal and added six hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

Pageau has three goals and three assists over seven games since the Olympic break. The 33-year-old center continues to make an impact in a middle-six role, though the Islanders' addition of Brayden Schenn at the trade deadline suggests Pageau will get more defensive usage. For the season, Pageau has 15 goals, 30 points, 89 hits, 45 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 57 appearances.

Horvat scored a power-play goal on nine shots in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blues.

Horvat has scored in four of five games in March, including each of the last three. This was his first power-play point since Jan. 28 versus the Rangers. The 30-year-old center is up to 28 goals, 45 points (14 on the power play), 176 shots on net, 44 hits, 34 blocked shots, 36 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 51 appearances. Horvat continues to excel in a top-line role and should be in the lineup for most fantasy managers.

Kasper scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Panthers.

Kasper scored in the third period to give the Red Wings a 3-2 lead, but they couldn't make it last. The 21-year-old could be in line for a significant boost in ice time if Dylan Larkin and Andrew Copp are unavailable for Thursday's game against the Lightning due to their respective leg injuries. In 64 outings this season, Kasper has earned 16 points, 104 shots on net, 143 hits, 43 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-10 rating.

Acciari scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Acciari ended a nine-game point drought with the tally. The 34-year-old continues to play regularly on the Penguins' fourth line and penalty kill. He's contributed seven goals and 16 points over 50 appearances, which is already his best output in three years with the Penguins. Acciari has added 67 shots on net, 51 hits, 40 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a plus-9 rating this season.

Jankowski scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Jankowski had been limited to two assists over his previous eight appearances. The 31-year-old continues to have the inside edge for time on the fourth line, often playing over Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Jankowski is up to 15 points, 46 shots on net, 32 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 51 outings, making this the third year in a row he's earned at least 15 points.

Stankoven scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Stankoven has earned four points over seven contests since the Olympic break. The 23-year-old forward continues to fill a second-line role, and he's serving as a complementary scorer for the Hurricanes. He's up to 12 goals, 29 points, 124 shots on net, 37 hits and a plus-9 rating through 64 appearances.

Jarvis scored a goal on nine shots and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Jarvis has two goals and five assists during his active four-game point streak. The 24-year-old forward's nine shots Tuesday were a season high for him. He's up to 28 goals, 53 points, 180 shots, 77 hits and a plus-11 rating across 56 appearances, putting him on track to top the 30-goal and 60-point marks for the third straight campaign.
