NHL Player News

Kyrou (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against Florida, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Kyrou suffered an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Stars and was labeled day-to-day Wednesday. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up against the Panthers, but he'll participate in an optional skate Thursday before the Blues determine his status.

Svechkov (upper body) was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Thursday.

Svechkov has had a tough go of things this season with two goals and seven assists in 49 appearances. He has been in a terrible slump of late, scoring once in his last 20 games. Svechkov was injured Tuesday, but he is likely to return to action this weekend for the Admirals. Look for Tyson Jost to enter the lineup Thursday in New Jersey, replacing Svechkov.

Glass (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Predators, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Glass sustained an unspecified injury in the second period of Tuesday's game against Winnipeg, and he's considered day-to-day for now. The 26-year-old will be unavailable for at least one game, while Maxim Tsyplakov will enter the lineup to make his team debut against Nashville.

Lindholm (upper body) won't play in Thursday's game against the Flyers, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.

Lindholm sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Predators, and head coach Marco Sturm labeled the 31-year-old as day-to-day Thursday. Lindholm will be unavailable for at least one game, but he's slated to visit with doctors Thursday, which could provide a better idea of his status with just under a week remaining before the Olympic break.

Poitras was recalled from AHL Providence on Thursday.

After appearing in exactly 33 games at the NHL level in each of the last two seasons, Poitras hasn't yet spent time with Boston this year. However, he'll join the big club after Elias Lindholm sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's game against Nashville. Across 39 appearances with Providence this year, Poitras has recorded eight goals, 16 assists and 33 PIM.

Cousins scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Cousins ended a month-long goal drought, a span in which he logged five assists, 23 hits and 26 PIM over 15 contests between tallies. The 32-year-old opened the scoring Wednesday at 3:21 of the second period. He's matched his point total from each of the last two regular seasons (15) while adding 42 shots on net, 104 hits, 59 PIM, 23 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. He'll likely finish 2025-26 with 20-plus points for the first time since the 2022-23 regular season.

Greig scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

Greig has picked up his scoring pace with three goals and six helpers over the last eight contests. The 23-year-old has worked his way into a top-six role in that span, and he's also on the second power-play unit, though he hasn't contributed in that situation since Oct. 27. Overall, Greig is up to nine goals, 25 points, 86 shots on net, 61 hits, 61 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 48 outings.

Sillinger recorded two assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Sillinger has three points over his last two games. He went 10 contests without a point over the bulk of January, so this return to form on offense is a positive, though he remains in a third-line role with no power-play time. The 22-year-old is now at six goals, 17 helpers, 89 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-1 rating through 51 contests. He's on pace for a career high in points, sitting just 10 back of matching his previous high-water mark from 2024-25.

Monahan scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Monahan's tally answered the game-tying goal by Travis Konecny late in the third period. The 31-year-old Monahan has three goals on five shots over his last four contests. That's not a sustainable scoring pace, but it looks like the center may be finding his rhythm a bit. He's now at nine goals, 25 points, 77 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 48 appearances this season.

Olivier scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.

Olivier earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 13 versus the Oilers. The winger has just four points across 13 outings in January while seeing consistent time on the third line. For the season, he's up to five goals, 13 points, 49 shots on net, 145 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 39 contests. He's unlikely to match his 32-point output from 2024-25, but he should be able to top the 20-point mark if he stays healthy.
