NHL Player News

Head coach John Hynes said Sunday that Hinostroza is week-to-week due to a lower-body injury, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Hinostroza was hurt in Friday's 5-0 win over Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old will now miss some time as a result, which means Tyler Pitlick could see more regular playing time in the short term. Hinostroza has accounted for two goals, three helpers and a minus-5 rating across 22 games this campaign.

Dach (foot) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Dach has missed the last three games and could be out until late December. He has five goals, two assists, 22 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 21 hits across 15 appearances this season.

Texier signed a one-year, $1 million contract with Montreal on Sunday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.

Texier didn't have to wait long to land with a new team after having the final season of his two-year, $4.2 million contract terminated by the Blues on Sunday. He has earned one assist, seven shots on net, one blocked shot and nine hits across eight appearances this season. Injuries to Kirby Dach (foot), Alex Newhook (ankle) and Patrik Laine (abdomen) should give Texier a chance to earn a regular spot in the lineup with the Canadiens.

Pageau has suffered an upper-body injury and is week-to-week, the Islanders announced Sunday.

The news is relatively unexpected considering the fact that Pageau played a full workload in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Blues. The 33-year-old has been playing well this season, registering 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 22 games. Injuries haven't been a major issue for Pageau lately; he's played at least 70 games in each of the last five seasons.

Lindholm (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.

Following a 10-game absence, Lindholm should return to the lineup against San Jose on Sunday. He has produced four goals, nine points, 22 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and 19 hits across 13 appearances this season.

Celebrini dished a power-play assist and put two shots on target in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Senators.

Celebrini extended his point streak to four games with the primary helper on John Klingberg's power-play score in the first period. With the helper, Celebrini has 19 assists, 32 points and 62 shots on goal through 22 games this season. The 19-year-old superstar has already accumulated more than half the points he needs to surpass the 63 points he had in 70 games throughout his rookie campaign. Additionally, his ice time at even strength continues to increase, giving him even more opportunities to produce at an elite level in all fantasy formats.

Goodrow tallied a goal, blocked two shots and dished out two hits in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Ottawa.

Goodrow found the back of the net for the first time this season midway through the second period to give the Sharks a 2-1 lead. With the goal, the 32-year-old winger is up to two points, 18 shots on net, 33 hits and 16 blocks through 22 games this season. He should continue to see consistent minutes on the fourth line with Jeff Skinner (lower body) on IR.

Cozens scored a goal, put four shots on net and dished out two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.

Cozens posted a strong all-around effort Saturday, highlighted by a power-play goal in the first period to spark Ottawa's offense. With the solid performance, the 24-year-old center is up to eight goals, 16 points, 47 shots on goal and 64 hits in 21 games this season. He's helped fill the void of physicality without Brady Tkachuk (thumb) in the lineup and is on pace to smash his career high of 205 hits that he posted in 82 games between the Sabres and Senators last year. Cozens has also heated up offensively, with six points in his last six games. He is set up nicely to get back toward the 68-point mark he had with Buffalo in the 2022-23 campaign, making him a strong asset in nearly all fantasy formats.

Reinhart scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers.

Reinhart has four goals and five assists, including a total of six power-play points, during his six-game point streak. The 30-year-old's tally brought the Panthers back within a goal, but they weren't able to find an equalizer. Reinhart remains productive in a top-six role, earning 12 goals, 18 points, 59 shots on net, 21 hits, 18 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating over 21 appearances for a team that has fallen short of expectations early in 2025-26.

Savoie scored an empty-net goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Panthers.

Savoie ended a four-game point drought with the final tally of this contest. The 21-year-old is still listed on the top line, but his 13:47 of ice time suggests he won't be seeing much prominent usage moving forward. That lineup also included Zach Hyman on the third line, which wasn't reflected in either player's usage. Savoie has six points, 31 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 24 appearances, so he should be able to challenge for at least a 20-point campaign.
