NHL Player News

Rempe (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

The Rangers recalled Connor Mackey from AHL Hartford in a corresponding move. Rempe is out indefinitely after being injured in a 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks on Oct. 23. He has provided one goal, eight shots on net, 30 hits and seven PIM across nine appearances this season.

Cousins (undisclosed) said Monday that he's fine after exiting Saturday's game against the Canadiens, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Cousins departed Saturday's matchup in the third period, and the Senators didn't update his status after the game. However, it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss Thursday's game against the Bruins. Over 13 appearances this year, Cousins has recorded two goals, an assist, 25 hits, nine blocked shots and 25 PIM while averaging 11:12 of ice time.

Brindley (concussion) skated before Monday's practice in a non-contact jersey, Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports reports.

Brindley sat out Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose due to the injury. It's unclear if he will be ready to play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, but he hasn't been experiencing many symptoms. Brindley has one goal, one assist, 12 shots on net and 12 hits across 12 appearances this season.

Dickinson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Monday, retroactive to Oct. 30, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Dickinson missed Saturday's matchup against Edmonton due to a shoulder injury, and he's considered week-to-week after landing on injured reserve. Oliver Moore was recalled from AHL Rockford in a corresponding move to help provide additional forward depth for Chicago.

Moore was summoned from AHL Rockford on Monday, per Scott Powers of The Athletic.

Moore has produced six goals and nine points in nine minor-league outings this campaign. He could make his NHL season debut against Seattle on Monday. Moore collected four assists, 10 shots on goal and six hits over nine appearances with the Blackhawks during the 2024-25 regular season.

Duchene (upper body) isn't expected to play Tuesday against Edmonton, Lia Assimakopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Duchene remains day-to-day due to his upper-body injury, and he'll be unavailable for an eighth consecutive game Tuesday. It's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to return to game action, but his next opportunity to do so will be Thursday against the Ducks.

Lowry (hip) will make his season debut Tuesday against the Kings.

Lowry has spent the start of the year recovering from hip surgery that he underwent in late May, but he'll be able to return to the lineup Tuesday for the first time in the 2025-26 campaign. The 32-year-old will likely handle a third-line center role for the Jets now that he's healthy, but it's possible that he pushes Jonathan Toews for a spot in the top six at some point.

Barron (undisclosed) is week-to-week, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press on Monday.

Barron didn't participate in Monday's practice after being injured in Saturday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh. He has chipped in three goals, six points, 15 shots on net, seven blocked shots and 20 hits through 12 outings this season. Barron could be replaced by Nikita Chibrikov on Tuesday versus the Kings if Adam Lowry (hip) isn't ready to return.

Kulich is doubtful for Tuesday's game against Utah due to an unspecified issue, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports.

Head coach Lindy Ruff said Monday that Kulich was unable to finish Saturday's game against the Capitals due to his issue, but Ruff said that the issue isn't a physical concern or an injury. Kulich will presumably be sidelined for at least one game and should tentatively be considered day-to-day.

Laughton (lower body) is close to making his season debut, Lance Hornby of The Toronto Sun reports Monday.

Laughton remains on injured reserve and will miss his 13th straight game against Pittsburgh on Monday. It remains unclear when he will return to the lineup, but the wait may not be much longer. Once Laughton receives the green light to play, he will likely occupy a bottom-six role.
