NHL Player News

Myers (lower body) could be available against Colorado on Wednesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

Coach Rick Tocchet wouldn't go so far as to confirm Myers will be in action Wednesday, but the blueliner seems to be trending in the right direction. Prior to his four-game absence, the Houston native was finding his offensive stride with four points in his last seven outings while averaging 17:35 of ice time.

Rutta (lower body) is still day-to-day and won't be an option against the Flyers on Tuesday, per NHL.com.

Rutta isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse but with 16 points in 56 games this season, the blueliner could reach the 20-point threshold for the first time since his rookie campaign with Chicago back in 2017-18. Once cleared to play, Rutta should reclaim a spot in the lineup, perhaps at the expense of Jacob MacDonald.

Dunn (upper body) won't play Tuesday versus Vegas, per Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times.

Dunn will miss his third consecutive contest despite taking part in the morning skate. He has amassed 11 goals, 45 points, 58 PIM, 118 shots on net, 60 blocked shots and 39 hits across 57 appearances this campaign. Ryker Evans will remain in the lineup versus the Golden Knights due to Dunn's absence.

Chabot (lower body) is not expected to play Tuesday versus Pittsburgh, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

According to TSN 1200, Chabot still hasn't resumed skating yet. The 27-year-old blueliner will miss his third straight contest Tuesday. He has six goals, 22 points, 87 shots on net and 75 blocked shots across 38 appearances this season. It's unclear at this time when Chabot will be available to return.

Siegenthaler (upper body) was injured in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers late in the second period, Dan Rosen of NHL.com reports.

Siegenthaler didn't return to the contest after taking an elbow to the chin from Matt Rempe of the Rangers. An update on Siegenthaler's status should come before Thursday's matchup versus Dallas. Meanwhile, Rempe will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for the hit.

Fabbro (upper body) will miss two or three weeks after leaving Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Fabbro has played 53 contests for the Predators this year, recording two goals and 10 assists. The 25-year-old will look to be back in time for the playoffs, as the Predators currently hold the number one wild-card spot. Fabbro will be a valuable defensive piece come playoff time, as he's recorded 43 hits and 83 blocked shots.

Stastney was promoted from AHL Milwaukee on Tuesday.

Dante Fabbro is dealing with an upper-body injury, so Stastney could be thrust into action Wednesday against the Jets. Stastney has picked up one goal through nine top-level appearances this season.

Zamula (illness) is on the ice for morning skate and will be available for Tuesday night's matchup with San Jose, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Zamula will likely draw into a bottom-pairing role against the Sharks after missing Saturday's loss to Tampa Bay due to an illness. The 23-year-old defender has picked up 17 points through 52 contests this season.

Nemec scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers.

Nemec ended Jonathan Quick's shutout bid with 2:34 remaining in the third period, firing a wrister from the point to cut the Devils' deficit to 2-1. It's the first goal in 27 outings for Nemec, who had just two assists in his prior 15 appearances. The 20-year-old blueliner now has three goals and 17 points through 43 games in his rookie campaign. While he's yet to produce at a sustained pace, Nemec offers eventual top-pairing potential, and he's averaged 21:56 of ice time, including 2:44 on the power play, over his last two contests.

Spence notched an assist in Monday's 3-0 win over the Islanders.

The Kings dressed seven defensemen Monday, and both Spence and Jacob Moverare saw limited action. Spence was at least able to do something in his 8:43 of ice time, setting up Adrian Kempe's second-period tally. That snapped Spence's nine-game point drought. The 23-year-old blueliner is at 17 points (all assists) with 63 shots on net, 52 hits, 43 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 53 appearances.
