NHL Player News

Miromanov (undisclosed) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Henderson on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

Miromanov has been on long-term injured reserve since the start of the season and hasn't seen any NHL action. He racked up six points in five games at the AHL level. Miromanov could return from injured reserve soon, though it's unclear if he'll see much playing time at the NHL level.

Mackey was brought up from AHL Hartford on Sunday.

Mackey has two goals, seven assists and 53 PIM in 31 AHL appearances this campaign. He picked up five PIM, three blocked shots and one hit against Ottawa on Jan. 27 during his NHL season debut. Mackey will probably be a healthy scratch Monday against Colorado because Ryan Lindgren (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup.

Hatakka was called up from AHL Utica on Sunday.

Hatakka has three goals and 11 points in 31 minor-league appearances this season. The 23-year-old also has one assist, one shot on goal, three blocked shots and four hits in three NHL outings this campaign.

Kampfer was recalled from AHL Tucson on Sunday.

Kampfer has collected four assists in 18 AHL outings this season. The 35-year-old blueliner has 15 goals and 39 points in 231 career NHL contests.

Lindgren (upper body) is expected to suit up Monday against the Avalanche, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Lindgren missed the Rangers' last game before the All-Star break but the extra time off was enough to end his absence. The 25-year-old has seven points while averaging 19:20 of ice time through 47 games this season

Samuelsson (upper body) underwent surgery and will not return during the 2023-24 campaign.

Samuelsson missed four of the last six games and the injury ended up being more serious than expected. The Sabres will place him on injured reserve in the near future and an update on his status for training camp should be available during the offseason. Jacob Bryson should see more regular playing time with Samuelsson out.

Pachal was claimed off waivers by the Flames on Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Pachal was waived by the Golden Knights on Saturday, but he'll now have an opportunity to stick in the NHL with Calgary. The 24-year-old blueliner had a goal, 42 hits and 23 blocked shots in 17 games with Vegas. Pachal will likely compete with Jordan Oesterle for a spot as the Flames' seventh defenseman.

Bortuzzo (lower body) was moved to long-term injured reserve Saturday, per CapFriendly.

The Islanders also put Casey Cizikas (lower body) on LTIR and removed Ryan Pulock (lower body) from LTIR on Saturday. Bortuzzo, who hasn't played since Jan. 2, is eligible to be activated whenever he is ready to return. He has picked up four shots on goal, 17 blocked shots, 12 hits and 12 PIM in 11 games with the Islanders since being acquired from Minnesota in December.

Malmstrom (undisclosed) was activated from season-opening injured reserve and assigned to AHL Springfield on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

Malmstrom had missed nearly four months to begin the campaign. He'll now embark on his first professional campaign with Springfield after signing his entry-level contract in March of 2023 and playing with the Thunderbirds on a tryout deal at the end of last season.

Ludvig (upper body) was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday, per CapFriendly.

Ludvig didn't play in the farm team's contest Saturday. The end of his conditioning assignment suggests he may be activated from long-term injured reserve ahead of Tuesday's game versus the Jets. Even when healthy, Ludvig shouldn't be expected to see more than a third-pairing role.
