NHL Player News

Power (hand) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL's media site.

Power will likely get back into the lineup Sunday against the Hurricanes. The 21-year-old blueliner missed the previous six games and hasn't dressed since Feb. 10. Power has 18 points in 51 games this season but just one over his last nine contests.

Fowler logged a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Kings.

Fowler snapped a three-game dry spell by helping out on Jakob Silfverberg's first-period tally. Five of Fowler's last six points -- over a span of seven games -- have come on the power play. The defenseman is up to 28 points (14 on the power play), 81 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and a minus-29 rating through 57 outings this season.

Heiskanen recorded a pair of assists, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Heiskanen helped out on both of the Stars' goals in a low-scoring battle between two strong teams. The defenseman has 10 points over 11 contests since he returned from a lower-body injury, including six points over his last five outings. For the season, he's produced seven goals, 30 helpers, 109 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across 48 appearances.

DeAngelo played his third consecutive game Saturday against the Stars, registering a pair of hits, a shot on goal and a blocked shot in 15:21 of ice time.

DeAngelo hadn't played in three straight games since mid-December, having spent most of the last two months as a healthy scratch. Although he isn't contributing offensively as much as he once did, he's still moving the needle in the aforementioned peripheral stat categories, giving him modest fantasy value in deeper formats.

Pouliot was assigned to AHL Texas on Sunday.

Pouliot has been credited with three shots on goal, five blocked shots and three hits in four NHL outings this season. If Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) and Nils Lundkvist (concussion) remain unavailable, Pouliot could be back with Dallas ahead of Monday's matchup versus the Islanders.

Hronek lit the lamp during Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Boston.

Hronek's goal tied the game late in the third period. He also finished the contest with four shots, three hits and one block. The blueliner, who has multiple hits in three straight games, continues his breakout campaign, as he's up to 43 points through 60 games, along with nine power-play points, 54 hits, 60 blocks, 116 shots and a plus-34 rating.

Mayfield (lower body) won't join the Islanders on their upcoming trip to Dallas and Detroit, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Mayfield didn't play Saturday against the Lightning, and he's now poised to miss at least two more games. The earliest he could be back is Saturday, when the Islanders host Boston. The 31-year-old Mayfield has five assists, 106 blocked shots and 70 hits through 41 games this season. Sebastian Aho should round out the Isles' defensive corps while Mayfield is absent.

Lajoie isn't listed on the Maple Leafs' roster, Jonas Siegel of The Athletic reports, indicating the defenseman was returned to AHL Toronto on Sunday.

Lajoie has one assist, seven blocked shots and 12 hits in seven NHL outings this season. He also has two goals and 17 points across 31 minor-league contests during the 2023-24 campaign.

Fleury (upper body) is not expected to play Sunday versus New Jersey, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Fleury, who is considered day-to-day, is poised to miss his second straight contest after getting injured in Thursday's 5-3 loss to Washington. He has contributed one goal, three assists, 23 blocked shots and 23 hits over 17 NHL outings this season.

Johnson (illness) will play Sunday versus the Hurricanes, according to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

Johnson, who will return from a one-game absence, will replace Kale Clague in the lineup against Carolina. The 35-year-old Johnson has produced three goals, 39 shots on net, 65 blocked shots and 88 hits across 48 outings this season.
