Beck was recalled from AHL Laval on Thursday.

In just 24 hours, Beck was sent down to AHL Laval, scored a goal in the team's 5-1 win over AHL Syracuse, and has returned to Montreal. The 22-year-old center has been solid with Laval this season, where he has two points in five appearances. He's been kept off the scoresheet in two NHL appearances, but he'll look to make an impact for the Canadiens if the team decides to have him stick around in the absence of Ivan Demidov (lower body).

Kindel (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

Kindel was cleared to fly back to Pittsburgh on Wednesday and is receiving treatment locally, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports. While he won't be an option for the Penguins' next two games as a result, it could certainly be longer, as the club will take a cautious approach to his return to play.

Pinto scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

Pinto has gotten on the scoresheet in seven of 10 games so far, though he's yet to have a multi-point performance. The 25-year-old center continues to play on the third line and on both sides of special teams, giving him enough usage to be helpful in fantasy. He's produced two goals, five helpers, 16 shots on net, 19 hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating on the year.

Halliday scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

Halliday earned his first multi-point effort of the season with this effort. The 24-year-old is becoming a versatile part of the offense for the Senators, though he still primarily works in the bottom six. He's at three goals, two helpers, three power-play points, 16 shots on net, 10 blocked shots, six hits and a minus-2 rating over 10 contests to begin his second campaign in the NHL.

Stutzle scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

Stutzle was able to make an impact in this grudge match, which saw Brady Tkachuk's first return to Ottawa since a June trade to Florida. Stutzle picked up his fifth multi-point effort of the season while leading the way on offense. For the season, the 24-year-old star has six goals, eight assists, 17 shots on net, 22 hits, eight blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 10 appearances.

Barkey notched an assist, two shots on net and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Barkey has a helper in consecutive games, something he's done twice this season. Through nine outings, he's still searching for his first goal of the year. He's picked up four assists, six shots on net, seven hits and a plus-1 rating while playing primarily in a bottom-six role.

Zegras scored a power-play goal on four shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Zegras has five points over his last three games, including a pair of goals. The 25-year-old started slow on offense this season like many of his teammates, but getting Zegras on track is key for the Flyers to rebound from a poor opening month. He's now at three goals, five assists, 24 shots on net, 10 PIM and a minus-3 rating across 12 appearances this season.

Jarvis (shoulder) was activated from the injured non-roster list by the Hurricanes on Wednesday.

Jarvis underwent shoulder surgery in June and was expected to miss approximately 4-6 months. While he was unavailable for the start of the regular season, he traveled with the Hurricanes for the start of their current five-game road trip and has been cleared to return slightly ahead of schedule. The 24-year-old made 71 regular-season appearances for the Hurricanes last year and recorded 32 goals, 34 assists, 81 hits, 27 blocked shots and 23 PIM while averaging 18:53 of ice time. Jarvis is on track to make his season debut Thursday against Edmonton and should immediately reclaim a prominent role for Carolina.

Carrick (upper body) was put on injured reserve Wednesday, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.

Carrick will miss Wednesday's game against Philadelphia. The 34-year-old has no points, four PIM and nine hits in four appearances this campaign. He's not always in the lineup when healthy, so there's no guarantee that Buffalo will promptly use him once he's available.

Khusnutdinov is signing a three-year, $11.85 million contract extension with the Bruins on Wednesday, Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal reports.

Khusnutdinov had a career-best year during his first full season with the Bruins last year, racking up 15 goals, 18 assists, 42 hits, 39 blocked shots and 16 PIM while averaging 14:30 of ice time. He's recorded two goals and five points across his first 10 regular-season appearances during the 2026-27 campaign and will be rewarded with a multi-year deal with Boston.
