NHL Player News

Faulk (upper body) is healthy and at training camp Friday, according to Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Faulk suited up alongside Philip Broberg at practice after missing the final four games of the 2023-24 campaign. Faulk had two goals and 30 points in 60 regular-season contests last year, and is expected to take over quarterbacking the top power play, as Torey Krug will miss the entire season due to ankle surgery.

Raddysh (hip pointer) is healthy at the start of training camp Friday, according to Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida.

Raddysh missed the final two games in Tampa Bay's six-game series loss to Florida in the opening round of the 2024 playoffs. Raddysh played in all 82 regular-season contests last year, picking up six goals and 33 points, including a goal and six assists on the power play. Raddysh will likely be a third-pairing blueliner for the Lightning once again in 2024-25.

Morrow was not on the ice for Friday's training camp session, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Morrow made his NHL debut last year, registering six shots, one hit and a minus-3 rating in two outings. Barring a long-term injury, the youngster should be in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot, though all three pairings seem fairly set heading into the start of preseason action. Don't be surprised to see Morrow starting the year with AHL Chicago but being atop the shortlist of potential call-ups.

Levshunov (foot) is not expected to play in any preseason games, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports Friday.

Levshunov was already likely headed for a stint with AHL Rockford to open the 2024-25 campaign but now almost certainly won't make the Opening Night roster. Still, the 18-year-old blueliner's injury is not expected to have a long-term impact, meaning he probably will make his NHL debut at some point during the upcoming season.

Sandin is dealing with visa issues and will miss his second day of training camp, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Friday.

Sandin was limited to just 23 points last season after having notched 35 during the previous campaign split between Toronto and Washington. The offseason addition of Jakob Chychrun will create a competition for minutes with the No. 2 power-play unit, which could see Sandin's numbers further dip if he finds himself on the outside looking in. Still, a 20-point campaign is likely the floor for Sandin, giving him decent mid-range fantasy value.

Dunn (neck) is scheduled to participate in Friday's on-ice session at Kraken camp, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Dunn missed 19 of the Kraken's last 21 games in 2023-24 due to a neck issue stemming from a hit he sustained in early March. The 27-year-old defenseman looks to be fine this fall, and he should be expected to fill a top-four role with power-play time in 2024-25. He produced 46 points (16 on the power play), 120 shots on net, 78 PIM and 64 blocked shots over 59 contests last season.

Pesce (lower leg) is considered week-to-week, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports Thursday.

Pesce missed Carolina's final nine playoff games due to a fractured fibula. He signed a six-year, $33 million contract with the Devils over the summer. When healthy, Pesce is likely to serve in a top-four capacity, though he probably won't receive much, if any, power-play ice time.

Hanley (undisclosed) participated in the Thursday's practice, per Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Hanley missed Calgary's final eight contests in 2023-24 due to an undisclosed injury, but it appears he's ready for the upcoming campaign. He had a goal and five points in 42 contests last season. Hanley was paired with Tyson Barrie, who is joining Calgary's training camp on a tryout basis, during the practice.

Seider signed a seven-year, $59.85 million contract with the Red Wings on Thursday.

Seider was a restricted free agent, and this agreement, along with locking Lucas Raymond up to an eight-year, $64.6 million contract Monday, puts Detroit's books in order going into the 2024-25 campaign. As is the case with Raymond's deal, Seider's cap hit ($8.55 million) looks solid now for what he brings to the table and could become tremendous value as he continues to develop and the salary cap increases further. The 23-year-old defenseman had nine goals and 42 points in 82 contests last season, making it the third straight campaign in which he surpassed the 40-point mark. Seider is expected to enter the season as a member of Detroit's top four and receive steady work with the man advantage.

Bean (hand) is ready to go for the start of the season, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports Thursday.

Bean is practicing with the first group at camp after missing the last six games of the regular season with Columbus in 2023-24. Bean had four goals and 13 points with 110 blocked shots in 72 regular-season contests with the Blue Jackets last year. Columbus did not give Bean a qualifying offer and the 26-year-old defenseman signed with his hometown team. Bean is expected to be a third-pairing defenseman with Calgary this season.
