NHL Player News

Broz (lower body) was designated for non-roster, injured reserve Monday.

Broz made his NHL debut last season, logging one game for Pittsburgh in which he notched two shots in 11:30 of ice time. The 23-year-old winger seemed to be trying to force his way into the Penguins' Opening Night roster, but this injury will likely mean he has to start the 2026-27 season in the minors once he is given the all-clear.

Jost signed a one-year, two-way contract with Nashville on Monday.

According to PuckPedia, Jost was placed on waivers Monday. The 28-year-old Jost attended training camp with the Predators on a professional tryout agreement. He will remain with the organization after posting eight goals, 16 points, 95 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 67 hits in 69 regular-season appearances for Nashville in 2025-26.

Joshua (abdomen) is week-to-week, per Mark Masters of TSN on Monday.

Joshua has been skating at practices recently, but his lingering core muscle injury is expected to result in a long-term absence. He collected 10 goals, 18 points, 52 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 195 hits and 49 PIM in 55 appearances for Toronto during the 2025-26 regular season.

Samanski was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday.

Samanski was slated to compete for a checking-line center role during training camp, but he'll be left off the Opening Night roster while Owen Michaels remains with the NHL club ahead of the regular season. Samanski made 24 regular-season appearances with the Oilers last year, recording two goals, two assists, 27 hits, 14 blocked shots and six PIM while averaging 10:33 of ice time.

Kapanen (lower body) is day-to-day and won't participate in Monday's practice.

Kapanen registered 22 goals, 37 points, 131 shots on net and 68 blocked shots in 82 appearances for Montreal during the 2025-26 regular season. It's currently unclear if he will be ready for Opening Night against Toronto on Tuesday.

Barzal (knee) was placed on non-roster injured reserve, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Monday.

Barzal's designation will allow him to be activated as soon as he is deemed healthy without the seven-day minimum required by standard injured reserve. Still, the fact that the Isles are using any sort of roster tool almost certainly means the 29-year-old center will not be ready to face the Maple Leafs on Wednesday.

Beecher was moved to the waiver wire Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

Beecher picked up three goals, seven points, 37 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 23 hits in 35 regular-season appearances between Boston and Calgary in 2025-26. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida in July. If he clears waivers, Beecher could open the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Charlotte.

Toninato was put on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Toninato notched 16 goals and 43 points in 52 regular-season games for AHL Rockford in 2025-26. If he clears waivers, he will likely return to Chicago's top minor-league affiliate for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

Laczynski was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Laczynski signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract with the Golden Knights during the offseason but will likely begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors if he clears waivers. He recorded 22 goals, 42 assists and 35 PIM across 62 regular-season appearances with AHL Henderson last year and will be a candidate to be called up if the Golden Knights deal with injuries at some point this season.

White was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

White signed a one-year, two-way deal in late July after spending the 2025-26 campaign as the alternate captain for AHL San Jose. Across 46 regular-season outings for the Barracuda, the 29-year-old forward was efficient with 21 goals, 27 assists and 48 points. As long as he goes unclaimed, White will open the season with AHL Utica, but he could find his way back to the NHL if New Jersey suffers a handful of injuries to its forward core.
