NHL Player News

Beck was reassigned to AHL Laval on Tuesday.

Beck's demotion comes as the team gears up for a four-game road trip, with Joshua Roy recalled from the minors in a corresponding move. In two NHL games this year, the 21-year-old Beck has failed to register a point while logging just one shot. While Beck should remain on the short list of potential call-ups throughout the 2025-26 campaign, he'll likely need some time in the minors to improve his offensive production.

Scheifele scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

Scheifele buried the game-winning goal at 15:06 of the third period after set-ups from Kyle Connor and Josh Morrissey, and it proved to be the goal that extended the Jets' winning run to five contests. The 32-year-old Scheifele is enjoying a blistering start to the season and has notched all of his seven goals during Winnipeg's winning run. On the season, he's up to 10 points in only six outings while also adding four PIM, 19 shots, three hits and a plus-5 rating. There might be some regression in the near future, though, as Scheifele's 36.8 shooting percentage is unsustainable. To put things into context, he set a new career high with a 21.5 shooting percentage for the 2024-25 regular season.

Toews scored a power-play goal in Monday's 2-1 win over the Flames.

Toews netted the equalizer for the Jets at 2:41 of the third period with a tip-in, giving him his first goal of the season. The 37-year-old veteran, who's back in the league after a two-year absence, endured a slow start to the season but seems to be playing better of late, providing four points (one goal, three assists) in his last four games. All but one of those helpers have come on the power play, as his outstanding IQ and vision are valuable assets for the Jets with the man advantage.

Newhook produced two assists in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Increased depth in Montreal's forward ranks has cost Newhook a regular spot on the second power-play unit to begin the season, but the improved supporting cast has boosted his production. Through seven games, the 24-year-old has a goal and four points while adding eight shots on net, eight hits, four PIM and a plus-4 rating. Newhook has never scored more than 15 goals or 34 points in a season, so his fantasy ceiling is limited, but he could be headed for a career-best campaign in a middle-six role.

Suzuki picked up two assists in Monday's 4-2 win over the Sabres.

Both helpers came in the third period as Montreal broke open a 1-1 tie. Suzuki has a six-game point streak going after being held scoreless in the Canadiens' opener, piling up a goal and 10 points during his heater with a plus-9 rating.

Couturier collected two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over the Kraken.

The veteran center set up Owen Tippett for tallies in the first and second periods to bookend the scoring on the night. Couturier has caught fire over the last week after getting blanked in the Flyers' first two games of the season, erupting for two goals and seven points in the last four contests with eight shots on net, three hits, two blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-5 rating.

Meyers was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

Meyers' promotion likely indicates that Jared McCann (lower body) won't be ready to suit up versus the Capitals on Tuesday, giving the Kraken an extra healthy forward. Even with his elevation to the NHL roster, the 26-year-old Meyers is far from a lock to play against Washington, and he would need to edge out the likes of Berkly Catton, Tye Kartye or Jani Nyman for a spot in the lineup.

Geekie was assigned to AHL Syracuse on Monday.

With just a single assist through six games to start the season, Geekie will return to Syracuse where he posted 11 goals and dished out nine assists in just 24 games last season. The 2022 first-round pick is still struggling to gain traction at the NHL level, but he's only 21 years old -- we'll see him back in the NHL in the not-so-distant future.

Aman was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

Aman has three assists in four minor-league outings this season. He could play against Pittsburgh on Tuesday if Brock Boeser (personal) remains unavailable. Due to injuries to forwards Teddy Blueger (undisclosed), Jonathan Lekkerimaki (undisclosed) and Filip Chytil (upper body), the 25-year-old Aman will provide the Canucks with some insurance.

Howden (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hurricanes.

Howden has resumed skating and is getting closer to returning to game action, but he'll be unavailable for a fourth consecutive matchup. He's still considered day-to-day for now, and the Golden Knights have a slight layoff before they face the Panthers on Saturday.
