NHL Player News

Jarvis (eye) is expected to be in the lineup Saturday versus the Oilers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Jarvis was clipped by a high stick in Friday's game against the Canucks, but it looks like he'll be able to play. The 23-year-old will retain his spot on the top line and first power-play unit, so fantasy managers can be confident in keeping him active.

Nazar (abdomen) is expected to play against Toronto on Saturday, per Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Nazar missed the Blackhawks' previous two games. He has five goals and 11 points in 15 outings this season. Nazar's return corresponds with Tyler Bertuzzi (undisclosed) exiting the lineup. The 21-year-old Nazar is set to serve on the second line alongside Oliver Moore and Teuvo Teravainen.

Granlund (lower body) won't play against Minnesota on Saturday.

Granlund has collected three goals, nine points and 21 shots on net through nine appearances this season. He will be replaced in Saturday's lineup by Jansen Harkins.

Poehling (upper body) won't play Saturday in Minnesota, per the NHL media site.

Poehling has a goal and six points in 16 appearances this season. He also missed Thursday's 6-3 loss to Detroit due to the injury. His next opportunity to return will come Monday against Utah.

Kampf signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Vancouver on Saturday.

Kampf had the final two seasons of his four-year, $9.6 million contract with the Maple Leafs mutually terminated Friday. The 30-year-old had one assist in four appearances with AHL Toronto in 2025-26 before becoming an unrestricted free agent. The Maple Leafs couldn't find a trade partner for him, but Kampf didn't have to wait long to sign a new deal. Kampf will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity for the Canucks, but he might spend some time practicing with Vancouver before drawing into the lineup.

Jarvis (upper body) will be a game-time decision against Edmonton on Saturday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Jarvis left Friday's 4-3 overtime win over Vancouver after receiving a high stick around his eye. He has accounted for 10 goals, 16 points, 55 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 15 hits through 17 appearances this season. If Jarvis is unavailable to play against the Oilers, Bradly Nadeau could be in the lineup after being recalled from AHL Chicago on Saturday.

Kotkaniemi (ankle) won't play Saturday versus Edmonton, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Kotkaniemi has two goals, five points, 17 shots, 28 hits and 11 blocks in 15 outings this year. His injury isn't believed to be a long-term issue, but his availability to play against Boston on Monday is unclear. Mark Jankowski will be in the lineup versus the Oilers on Saturday due to Kotkaniemi's absence.

Glass (upper body) is week-to-week, the team announced Saturday.

Glass sustained the injury in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over Chicago. He has earned three goals, 19 shots on net and five blocked shots in 10 appearances this season. With Glass and Jack Hughes (finger) out of the lineup, Nathan Legare and Shane Lachance will play against Washington on Saturday.

Cirelli (upper body) won't play against Florida on Saturday, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Cirelli will miss his third straight game, and it's unclear if he will be ready to return in Sunday's matchup versus Vancouver. He has earned seven goals, 11 points, 21 shots on net and 11 blocked shots through 14 outings this season. The Lightning will also be without forwards Dominic James (undisclosed), Brandon Hagel (undisclosed) and Pontus Holmberg (undisclosed), which will give recent call-ups Jakob Pelletier, Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin a chance to play against the Panthers.

Jenner (upper body) was put on injured reserve Saturday.

Jenner's placement on IR is retroactive to Tuesday, which is when he was last in the lineup, but head coach Dean Evason cautioned Thursday that Jenner isn't out "short term," so it wouldn't be surprising if Jenner spends more than the minimum amount of time on IR. The 32-year-old forward has three goals, 10 points, 13 PIM, 30 hits and 13 blocks in 16 appearances this season. Luca Del Bel Belluz is seeing time on the top line due to Jenner's absence.
