NHL Player News

Dunn (undisclosed) won't play Monday against the Penguins, Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times reports.

With Dunn sidelined with an undisclosed issue, look for Ryker Evans to slot into a prominent role versus Pittsburgh. Another update on Dunn should be released prior to Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

Kulikov (undisclosed) won't play Monday against Anaheim, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site.

Kulikov has accounted for 10 assists, 39 shots on goal, 50 blocked shots and 51 hits in 39 games this season. He will be replaced in the lineup by Josh Mahura.

Samuelsson (upper body) won't play Monday against the Sharks, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

Samuelsson will miss at least one game after suffering an upper-body injury in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Vancouver. He has provided seven points, 43 shots on goal, 83 blocked shots and 81 hits across 39 appearances this season. Henri Jokiharju is slated to replace Samuelsson in the lineup.

Clague was summoned from AHL Rochester on Monday.

Clague has two goals and 17 points in 31 AHL contests this campaign. His call-up doesn't bode well for the availability of Mattias Samuelsson (upper body) for Monday's contest against San Jose. If Henri Jokiharju plays instead of Samuelsson on Monday, Clague may serve as a healthy scratch.

Schneider logged an assist in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

Schneider technically gets credit for the assist since the defenseman was the first one to touch the puck on the possession, but this game-winning goal had more to do with Alexis Lafreniere lighting the lamp on his own rebound near the top of the crease. At any rate, Schneider is up to eight helpers among 11 total points to complement solid defensive totals (51 blocked shots and 53 hits) through 42 games. We're seeing steady improvement from the physical blueliner, who the Rangers selected No.19 overall in the 2020 Draft.

Trouba registered an assist, three hits and six blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Capitals.

This was a dogged effort from Trouba, who is starting in the offensive zone just 36.7 percent of the time, a career-low mark through his 11 years of service time between the Jets and Rangers. He's added three goals and 14 assists to go along with 101 hits and 132 blocked shots through 42 games, but the Rangers no longer require his services on the power play as yet another downgrade to his fantasy prospects.

McCabe produced an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

McCabe has five points over his last five games, another productive run for the usually defensive-minded blueliner. He's chipped in more regularly since the start of December -- 13 of his 15 points this year have come in his last 20 contests. The defenseman has added 40 shots on net, 74 hits, 53 blocked shots, 25 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 35 appearances.

Rielly managed an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Rielly took his first penalty of the season for hooking midway through the second period. The defenseman has taken his offense up a notch with seven points in as many games in January, giving him six goals and 28 helpers over 41 contests this season. He's added 101 shots on net, 34 hits, 81 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. While Rielly probably isn't Norris material, if he can stay out of the sin bin, he could get some buzz for the Lady Byng.

Chiarot notched an assist, four hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Chiarot has three points over his last seven outings. The 32-year-old blueliner has played in a top-four role since the holiday break, exceeding 20 minutes of ice time in six of the last nine contests. Chiarot is up to 12 points with 60 shots on net, 83 hits, 88 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 43 appearances this season.

Hagg was assigned to AHL San Diego on Sunday, per CapFriendly.

Hagg logged 12:22 of ice time in Saturday's 5-1 loss to Tampa Bay, posting a minus-2 rating and five hits. If Hagg isn't recalled prior to Monday's matchup against Florida, Gustav Lindstrom could make his Anaheim debut.
