  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Won't play Saturday

    Karlsson (lower body) won't play against Washington on Saturday.

    Karlsson is day-to-day and will miss at least one game, but it's unclear whether he will play in Sunday's rematch against the Capitals. He has registered 15 goals, 66 points and 176 shots on net in 74 games this season.

  • Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Not playing Saturday

    Raddysh (undisclosed) won't play against Boston on Saturday, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site reports.

    Raddysh is day-to-day due to an injury and will miss at least one game. He has amassed 22 goals, 70 points, 207 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and 66 hits in 72 appearances this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Brandon Carlo: Done for season

    Carlo (lower body) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

    Carlo had a disappointing season with the Maple Leafs, tallying seven assists, 65 hits, 98 blocked shots and 37 PIM in 55 games. The Maple Leafs could move him in the offseason, but if not, he will be at training camp come September.

  • Sharks' Luca Cagnoni: Earns three points Friday

    Cagnoni scored a goal and added two assists in AHL San Jose's 8-6 loss to Henderson on Friday.

    This was his first three-point game of the season. Cagnoni has been steady but a little behind his pace from last year. He's at eight goals and 43 points over 66 appearances in 2025-26, compared to 16 goals and 52 points across 64 regular-season outings in 2024-25. He hasn't seen any NHL action this year but should be an option in the next couple of seasons to establish himself on the Sharks' blue line.

  • Canadiens' Bryce Pickford: Two goals in WHL win

    Pickford scored twice in WHL Medicine Hat's 3-2 overtime win over Calgary in Game 1 on Friday.

    Pickford had four points over the first five games of the postseason as the Tigers got past Regina in the first round. The defenseman was electric in the regular season with 45 goals and 83 points over 55 contests. He also had 24 points in 18 playoff outings a year ago, so he knows how to elevate his play when it matters most.

  • Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Will miss rest of regular season

    Heiskanen (lower body) has been ruled out for Dallas' final three regular-season games, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports Friday.

    Heiskanen will complete the regular season with nine goals and 63 points in 77 outings. That's his best showing offensively since 2022-23 (11 goals, 73 points). Dallas is still hoping to get Heiskanen back during the first round of the playoffs. In the meantime, Alex Petrovic might draw into the lineup.

  • Quinn Hughes D | MIN

    Wild's Quinn Hughes: Pair of points in loss

    Hughes scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged two PIM and went minus-2 in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Stars.

    Hughes tallied the Wild's first goal, which was his first since March 3. He's maintained strong offense with two goals and 16 helpers over his last 19 outings since the start of March. The 26-year-old defenseman is up to seven goals, 76 points, 187 shots on net, 85 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 73 appearances between the Wild and the Canucks this season.

  • Esa Lindell D | DAL

    Stars' Esa Lindell: Provides two assists

    Lindell logged two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Wild.

    Lindell could be poised to handle more minutes in the likely event Miro Heiskanen (lower body) misses time after getting hurt Thursday. The 31-year-old Lindell had gone five games without a point prior to this outing, which was his first multi-point performance since Jan. 12 versus the Kings. With the effort, he reached the 30-point mark on the year, adding 79 shots on net, 172 blocked shots and a plus-29 rating. It's Lindell's highest-scoring year since he had a career-best 32 points in 82 appearances in the 2018-19 regular season.

  • Alex Vlasic D | CHI

    Blackhawks' Alex Vlasic: Bags apple in loss

    Vlasic logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 7-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

    Vlasic has earned five assists over his last 15 games while seeing steady top-four minutes. The 24-year-old blueliner is at 21 points, 81 shots on net, 117 blocked shots and a minus-17 rating over 78 appearances this season. He won't match last year's 30-point performance, as he's evolved into more of a shutdown defenseman after regularly serving as an overall No. 1 option for the Blackhawks last year, which included more power-play usage.

  • Artem Zub D | OTT

    Senators' Artem Zub: Deposits goal in win

    Zub scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.

    Zub hadn't scored since Jan. 13 versus the Canucks. During the 33-game goal drought, he still contributed 14 assists and a plus-10 rating. He's hardly a high-scoring defenseman, but Zub has had a career year with 29 points (five goals, 24 helpers), 88 shots on net, 116 blocked shots, 65 hits, 55 PIM and a plus-18 rating over 78 appearances. He offers multi-category upside for fantasy managers needing a boost to close out the campaign.
