  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Missing from road trip

    Lundkvist (concussion) didn't join the Stars for their four-game road trip, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Monday.

    Lundkvist needs just one more point to match his total from last season but will need to wait until at least next Monday's clash with the Islanders to get back on the scoresheet. An injury to Jani Hakanpaa (upper body) will see both Derrick Pouliot and Alex Petrovic inserted into the lineup against Boston on Monday.

  • Stars' Jani Hakanpaa: Not traveling with team

    Hakanpaa (upper body) is not with the Stars for their four-game road trip, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports Monday.

    Hakanpaa is currently mired in a 14-game goal drought during which he has added just two assists and 15 shots on net. As such, the 31-year-old Finn's absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers, except in formats that utilize hits and blocked shots. In addition to Hakanpaa, the Stars will also be without Nils Lundkvist (concussion) for the trip.

  • Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Won't play Monday

    Heiskanen will not be in the lineup against Boston on Monday for the birth of his child, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

    Heiskanen has been fantastic since returning from injury, racking up six points, 26 shots and 10 blocked shots in his last eight contests. With the Stars entering a back-to-back while on the road, there is a chance the 24-year-old defenseman won't be ready in time to face the Rangers on Tuesday either. Derrick Pouliot and Alex Petrovic were called up from the minors and will both be in action Monday.

  • Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Labeled week-to-week

    Fehervary (lower body) is expected to miss 1-2 weeks after coach Spencer Carbery told reporters Monday, "Week-to-week. Whether it's one or two, that's what we're looking at," per Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network.

    Fehervary isn't exactly an offensive powerhouse with just two goals and 10 assists through 47 games this season. As such, his absence will only impact formats that value hits and blocked shots, of which he has 108 and 71, respectively. With a spot open in the lineup, both Alexander Alexeyev and Ethan Bear should be in contention for minutes, with Alexeyev as the most likely replacement on the left side of the Capitals' blue line.

  • John Marino D | UTA

    Devils' John Marino: Traveling despite illness

    Marino is under the weather but will make the trip for Tuesday's matchup with Washington, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Marino has yet to miss a game this season, playing in all 54 contests while producing four goals on 45 shots, 15 assists and 73 blocked shots while averaging 21:12 of ice time. If Marino were to be ruled out, Nick DeSimone could get into the Devils' lineup for the first time since he was claimed off waivers from the Flames on Jan. 25.

  • Owen Power D | BUF

    Sabres' Owen Power: Surfaces on IR

    Power (hand) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

    In a corresponding move, Kale Clague was summoned from AHL Rochester. Power is considered week-to-week after suffering a left hand injury during practice last Monday. He has accounted for two goals, 18 points, 73 shots on net and 74 blocked shots over 51 appearances this season.

  • Kale Clague D | WPG

    Sabres' Kale Clague: Back with big club

    Clague was called up from AHL Rochester on Monday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News.

    In a corresponding move, Owen Power (hand) was moved to injured reserve. Clague will probably serve as an extra defender Monday versus Anaheim. He has picked up three goals, 23 points and 52 PIM in 41 AHL contests this campaign.

  • Stars' Alex Petrovic: Summoned from AHL

    Petrovic was recalled from AHL Texas on Monday.

    Petrovic has three goals and 16 points in 44 AHL contests this season. He may get a chance to make his Dallas debut Monday against Boston because of injuries to Nils Lundkvist (concussion) and Jani Hakanpaa (upper body).

  • Devon Toews D | COL

    Avalanche's Devon Toews: Supplies game-winner

    Toews scored a goal on three shots and logged one hit over 26:23 of ice time in Sunday's 4-3 win over Arizona.

    Toews provided the game-winner in the third period, using a Mikko Rantanen screen to pot his 10th goal in 56 games. It was the second goal in three games for the defenseman.

  • Jack Johnson D | CLB

    Avalanche's Jack Johnson: One of each in win

    Johnson logged a goal and an assist in Sunday's 4-3 win over Arizona.

    He added one shot on net and two blocked shots over 12:37 of ice time. Johnson showed off rarely seen offense, which included a second-period tally where he attacked from the blue line and beat Karel Vejmelka to the far side for his third goal of the season. The two-point offensive explosion snapped a 14-game pointless drought for the 37-year-old Johnson.
