NHL Player News

Shaw was placed on waivers Monday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

Shaw produced 17 goals and 37 points in 72 appearances with AHL Manitoba in 2024-25. If he clears waivers, he will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2025-26 campaign with Winnipeg's top minor-league affiliate.

Stephenson (undisclosed) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Flames, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

A previous report listed Stephenson on the roster for Monday's preseason matchup, but the 31-year-old has now been ruled out as he continues to deal with an undisclosed injury. His final chance to suit up during the preseason will be Wednesday against Edmonton, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to play. Although Stephenson is considered day-to-day, whether his injury will force him to miss time to begin the regular season remains to be seen.

Brind'Amour was designated for waivers Monday in order to reassign him to AHL Chicago, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Brind'Amour has played in just two NHL games in his career, logging one goal, one shot and two PIM in those contests. The 26-year-old center put up decent numbers in 2024-25 with the Wolves, generating 16 goals and eight assists in 68 regular-season outings. Still, he'll need to perform better than that to force his way onto the Hurricanes' roster.

Miller (lower body) is being evaluated after leaving Monday's practice early, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

According to Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic, Miller made it off the ice under his own power, but appeared to be favoring his leg after lunging for the puck during a drill. The team will probably be cautious with the 32-year-old forward, so it wouldn't be surprising if he didn't play again during the preseason. Miller amassed 22 goals and 70 points in 72 regular-season outings between the Rangers and Canucks in 2024-25.

Stephenson (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Monday's preseason game against the Flames, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.

Stephenson was deemed day-to-day by the Kraken due to an undisclosed injury late last week, but he's on the roster ahead of Monday's preseason matchup, signaling that he should be ready to return to game action. Stephenson made 78 regular-season appearances during his first season with the Kraken last year, recording 13 goals, 38 assists, 50 blocked shots, 33 hits and 24 PIM while averaging 19:31 of ice time.

Dowling (lower body) will not be available to face the Islanders on Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Dowling was working with the non-game group, so it's possible that he will be ready in time to face the Devils on Thursday. Given the Rangers' forward depth, Dowling figures to be a long shot to make the Opening Night roster and likely will have to play the bulk of his games in the minors with AHL Hartford.

Jankowski (undisclosed) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Jankowski has been limited throughout training camp this year, and he'll be forced to miss the Hurricanes' penultimate preseason game due to his undisclosed injury. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but he should still have an opportunity to make the Opening Night roster.

Rodrigues (undisclosed), as expected, won't be in action to face the Hurricanes on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

While Rodrigues' absence was deemed minor and something he might play through in the regular season, it seems unlikely he will feature in Tuesday's matchup with the Lightning either, though he hasn't been officially ruled out. With Aleksander Barkov (knee) likely to miss the entire 2025-26 regular season, Rodrigues could push for a steady spot in the top six.

Acciari (abdomen) will not be available for Monday's preseason game against the Red Wings.

Acciari has progressed to skating in a regular jersey at practice after participating without contact earlier in training camp, but he's not ready to play in a preseason game just yet. The right-shot forward will have two more chances to draw into exhibition play after Monday's game.

Celebrini (undisclosed) participated in Sunday's practice and appears to be available to return to the lineup, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

After recovering from an illness, Celebrini has been sticking to his own program during training camp practices. He hasn't been involved in many contact drills, but he skated with assistant coach Mike Ricci tethered to him during Sunday's session, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. The 19-year-old Celebrini should see preseason playing time ahead of being ready for the regular season.
