NHL Player News

Dunn (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day after practicing Tuesday, per Alison Lukan of Root Sports.

It's possible that Dunn could return to the lineup as early as Wednesday versus Chicago. The 27-year-old defender has eight goals, 35 points, 84 shots on net and 43 blocked shots in 42 contests this campaign. Dunn has missed the past four games because of an undisclosed injury.

Ferraro (undisclosed) could be sidelined until after the All-Star break, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.

If Ferraro is held out until the All-Star break, he'll miss San Jose's next four games at a minimum. Henry Thrun could see an expanded role during Ferraro's absence.

Miromanov (undisclosed) was reassigned to AHL Henderson on a long-term conditioning assignment Tuesday.

Miromanov has yet to get into an NHL game this season due to his long-term injury, so a stint in the minors certainly makes sense in order to get the defenseman some minutes. Last season, the 26-year-old Russian saw action in 14 games in which he generated two goals and four assists, including three power-play assists. Once given the all-clear, Miromanov could challenge the likes of Zach Whitecloud or Kaedan Korczak for a spot in the lineup.

Zellweger was called up from AHL San Diego on Tuesday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

Zellweger has been racking up points in the minors with eight goals and 17 helpers in 34 contests with the Gulls. Selected by the club with the 34th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the 20-year-old defenseman looks poised to make his NHL debut against the Sabres on Tuesday, especially if Ilya Lyubushkin (upper body) remains unavailable.

Boqvist (illness) will play Tuesday against Edmonton, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.

Boqvist missed practice Monday due to an illness, but he's evidently feeling well enough to suit up versus the Oilers. Look for him to skate on the top line and first power-play unit Tuesday.

Stecher (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

In a corresponding move, Victor Soderstrom was called up from AHL Tucson on Tuesday. Stecher is expected to be out for about four-to-six weeks, so his placement on IR won't impact his timetable. He has contributed five points, 41 shots on goal, 57 blocked shots and 40 hits across 42 games this season.

Brown notched an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.

Brown has been in the lineup for five straight games as the Coyotes have gone with seven defensemen. That lineup strategy may not last much longer with Troy Stecher (lower body) out long term and Matt Dumba (upper body) hurt in Monday's game, but the injuries could allow Brown to stay suited up. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Brown -- he has four points, 42 blocked shots, 41 PIM, 34 hits, 22 shots on net and a minus-4 rating over 25 appearances.

Sandin (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Minnesota, Bailey Johnson of The Washington Post reports.

Sandin, who has missed the past eight games, is slated to be with Trevor van Riemsdyk in his return to the lineup. The 23-year-old Sandin should also see time on the second power-play unit. He has 11 assists, 45 shots on goal, 65 blocked shots and 34 hits in 36 games this season. Ethan Bear and Alexander Alexeyev are expected to be healthy scratches for Tuesday's contest.

Hamonic (upper body) is set to miss Tuesday's clash with Montreal.

Hamonic was unavailable for two of the last three games with a lower-body injury and is now dealing with an upper-body issue that will keep him on the shelf Tuesday. Considering the defenseman has just one point in his last 15 contests, few fantasy players figure to be impacted by his absence. Erik Brannstrom will return to the lineup with Hamonic absent.

Juulsen picked up an assist during Monday's 2-0 victory over Chicago.

Juulsen re-entered the lineup after being a healthy scratch in the previous five contests. With Carson Soucy (hand) unavailable for five-to-six weeks, Juulsen should serve as a regular during that stretch. He has three points in 30 appearances this season.
