  • Robert Hagg D | LV

    Ducks' Robert Hagg: Heads back to AHL

    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.

  • Panthers' Dmitry Kulikov: Game-time call Monday

    Kulikov (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision Monday against Anaheim, Colby Guy of Florida Hockey Now reports.

    It's unclear exactly what's ailing Kulikov, but the 33-year-old defenseman played just 13:49 in a loss to the Devils on Saturday. Kulikov has 10 points, all assists, through 39 games in his return to the Panthers this season. Josh Mahura would likely slot onto Florida's third pairing if Kulikov ultimately can't suit up.

  • Lightning's Philippe Myers: Reassigned to AHL

    Myers was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Sunday.

    Myers had been a healthy scratch in Tampa's last three games after he was initially recalled as a depth option while the Lightning dealt with a rash of injuries on the blue line. The 26-year-old Myers has failed to pick up a point in four NHL games this season while recording seven hits and five blocked shots.

  • Flames' Yan Kuznetsov: Reassigned to AHL

    Kuznetsov was sent down to AHL Calgary on Sunday.

    Kuznetsov continues to bounce between levels as a depth option on the Flames' blue line. The 21-year-old Kuznetsov has played in just one NHL game this season, recording two shots and a blocked shot in 11:58 of ice time. He has two goals and seven points in 31 AHL contests.

  • Troy Stecher D | TOR

    Coyotes' Troy Stecher: Nabs helper Saturday

    Stecher recorded an assist, three blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

    Stecher snapped his nine-game point drought with a secondary helper on Nick Bjugstad's hat-trick-clinching goal. The veteran Stecher is unlikely to put up big scoring numbers while logging bottom-four minutes. He's at five points, 38 shots on net, 36 hits, 53 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-8 rating through 39 appearances this season.

  • Coyotes' Michael Kesselring: Assists in consecutive outings

    Kesselring notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

    Kesselring has a helper in each of the last two games following a four-game slump that also saw him sit out once as a healthy scratch. The defenseman continues to look NHL-ready with 11 points, 29 shots on net, 32 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 24 outings. Kesselring can be expected to see sheltered minutes on the third pairing.

  • Tyler Tucker D | STL

    Blues' Tyler Tucker: Heads to AHL for conditioning

    Tucker was loaned to AHL Springfield on Sunday for a conditioning assignment.

    Tucker has one goal, one assist, 10 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 27 hits in 15 games this season. He hasn't been in the lineup for the Blues since Dec. 21 against Florida, so he will get some playing time in the minors before returning to the big club.

  • John Marino D | UTA

    Devils' John Marino: Pots empty-netter against Panthers

    Marino scored his second goal of the season in Saturday's 4-1 win over Florida.

    The 26-year-old blueliner capped the scoring with an empty-net tally, jamming home a close-range shot as the Devils pressed for an insurance goal. Marino has gotten onto the scoresheet with a goal and an assist in the last two games after snapping a 13-game point drought, and while he plays big minutes for New Jersey -- he led the team in ice time Saturday at 25:35 -- he offers little fantasy upside, managing 14 points in 40 games with 49 blocked shots, 29 shots on net and a minus-4 rating.

  • Artem Zub D | OTT

    Senators' Artem Zub: Three helpers against San Jose

    Zub picked up three assists while adding a team-high seven shots on net, two hits, one blocked shot and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Sharks.

    It's the first multi-point performance in over a month for Zub, who had just one goal and four points in the 16 games between those outbursts. The 28-year-old blueliner is still headed for a career-best campaign, producing three goals and 14 points in 30 games with 51 blocked shots, 48 hits, 42 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating.

  • Sharks' Mario Ferraro: Three helpers in Saturday's loss

    Ferraro notched three assists in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Senators.

    The 25-year-old defenseman did his best to keep the Sharks in the game, adding four blocked shots, three hits, one shot on net and a plus-2 rating to his ledger. Ferraro has three multi-assist performances in the last 10 games, racking up eight helpers in total, but those are his only points during that stretch. San Jose is taking a long look at Calen Addison on the first power-play unit, but Ferraro is quarterbacking the second unit and has been the team's most productive scorer off the blue line of late.
