NHL Player News

Suzuki signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday.

Suzuki got his first taste of NHL action with the Hurricanes during the 2024-25 campaign, but he spent all of last season at AHL Chicago. He recorded 13 goals, 35 assists and 30 PIM over 66 regular-season appearances last year and will likely spend most of his time in the minors once again during the 2026-27 season.

Tomasino signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators on Wednesday.

Tomasino had just one assist in nine NHL games for the Penguins in the 2025-26 regular season. He picked up 12 goals and 29 assists over 52 AHL regular-season games between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Lehigh Valley. Tomasino should challenge for a bottom-six role with the Senators during training camp.

Gambrell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Wild on Wednesday.

Gambrell had 10 goals and 36 points in 35 outings with AHL Iowa in 2025-26. The 29-year-old is unlikely to make Minnesota's Opening Night roster, but he'll get a chance to compete for a spot during training camp.

Hinostroza signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Avalanche on Wednesday.

Hinostroza had six goals, 18 points, 31 PIM, 41 hits and 27 blocked shots in 65 regular-season appearances between Minnesota and Florida in 2025-26. The 32-year-old is a capable fourth-line option, but Colorado is deep enough for Hinostroza to spend most of his time as a healthy scratch when the full forward corps is available.

Skoog signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Red Wings on Wednesday.

Skoog had two assists, a plus-3 rating, four PIM, two hits and five blocks in three regular-season appearances with Florida in 2025-26. He also had 18 goals, 37 points and 51 PIM in 61 regular-season outings with AHL Charlotte last campaign. The 26-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot with Detroit during training camp, but he'll probably begin 2026-27 in the AHL.

McLaughlin signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Devils on Wednesday.

McLaughlin spent most of the 2025-26 regular season with AHL Utica, recording six goals, eight assists and six PIM across 23 appearances. He'll remain in the organization for the 2026-27 campaign, but it wouldn't be surprising if he logged plenty of time in the minors again.

Parent secured a one-year, two-way contract with New Jersey on Wednesday.

Parent played in just five games for the Devils last year and failed to register a point while logging 8:34 of ice time per contest. The 25-year-old winger figures to remain a fringe roster option for New Jersey in 2026-27, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy.

Aston-Reese signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract with the Flyers on Wednesday.

After appearing in 79 regular-season games with the Blue Jackets during the 2024-25 campaign, Aston-Reese made just 27 appearances for Columbus in 2025-26. He recorded a goal, four assists, 78 hits, 17 blocked shots and 12 PIM while averaging 9:44 of ice time. He may spend some time in the minors in 2025-26, but he could be a good source of hits if he plays for Philadelphia.

Studnicka signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Flyers on Wednesday.

Studnicka had 12 goals and 30 points in 41 regular-season appearances with AHL Charlotte in 2025-26. He also appeared in 19 games with Florida last season, recording no points, four PIM, 19 hits and six blocks. Studnicka will compete for an NHL roster spot during training camp, but he'll probably begin the upcoming campaign in the minors.

Gregor signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Jets on Wednesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Gregor made 37 appearances for the Panthers during the 2025-26 campaign, racking up four goals, five assists, 37 hits, 26 PIM and 11 blocked shots while averaging 9:34 of ice time. He'll attempt to carve out a role for himself in Winnipeg, but he could spend time in the AHL in 2026-27.
