NHL Player News

Sergachev (lower body) was deemed a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's road game against the Wild, per Brogan Houston of the Deseret News.

Sergachev has been shelved for Utah's past three contests, including Monday's first half of a back-to-back. The 27-year-old blueliner has made a large impact when healthy, tallying four points in as many games since NHL action resumed following the Olympic break. If Sergachev can't suit up, it will give Maksymilian Szuber a chance to make his season debut.

Gostisbehere (lower body) won't play against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, per Walt Ruff and Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site.

Gostisbehere will miss his second straight game, and it's unclear when he will be available to return to action. He has earned 11 goals, 43 points, 98 shots on net and 50 blocked shots in 45 appearances this season. Due to Gostisbehere's absence, Mike Reilly will remain in the lineup versus the Penguins on Tuesday.

Grzelcyk's point drought reached eight games in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.

Grzelcyk has just one assist over his last 20 outings. The 32-year-old blueliner is still maintaining a third-pairing role, but he could lose that spot to Ethan Del Mastro if the Blackhawks fully embrace playing their prospects. For the season, Grzelcyk has 12 helpers, 64 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 26 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 64 appearances.

Kuznetsov logged a shorthanded assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Monday's 7-3 loss to the Capitals.

Kuznetsov has stepped up into a steady top-four role since the Flames offloaded two defensemen in the lead-up to the trade deadline. The 23-year-old plays more of a shutdown role, so he isn't likely to be a strong target in fantasy. He has 11 points, 54 shots on net, 70 hits, 85 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 49 appearances.

Robertson notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.

Robertson ended a six-game point drought with the helper. He continues to play regularly in a third-pairing role as he looks to finish the season strong to strengthen his position on the roster for 2026-27. The blueliner has 12 points, 55 shots on net, 81 hits, 64 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 53 appearances.

Gavrikov logged two assists and two PIM in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.

Gavrikov is on a five-game point streak, earning three goals and three assists in that span. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to trend toward a career year. He's at 27 points (12 goals, 15 helpers) with 94 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 36 PIM, 38 hits and a minus-14 rating over 63 appearances in a top-four role.

Werenski notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Werenski missed three games due to an illness, so it may take some time for him to regain his strength. He's still a big factor in the Blue Jackets' system, both on offense and defense, so he'll continue to see significant ice time. The defenseman has 66 points (16 on the power play), 200 shots on net, 73 blocks and a plus-3 rating through 56 appearances.

Lindgren (illness) is available to return to the lineup against Nashville on Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

After sitting out Saturday's 7-4 loss to Ottawa, Lindgren should return to his second-pairing role and see time on the penalty kill versus the Predators on Tuesday. He has generated two goals, seven assists, 37 shots on net, 96 blocked shots, 35 hits and 54 PIM across 58 appearances this season.

Parayko (back) will return to the lineup for Tuesday's home matchup against the Islanders.

Parayko is set to play in just his second game following the Olympic break. The right-shot blueliner will skate on the No. 2 pairing next to Theo Lindstein, who is making his NHL debut Tuesday. Justin Holl and Matt Kessel will be healthy scratches on the blue line for St. Louis against the Islanders.

Miller (knee) has resumed skating but is not close to returning to the lineup, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports Tuesday.

Miller was injured Jan. 11 and underwent knee surgery shortly thereafter. Head coach Scott Arniel said Tuesday that Miller is on a "two days on, one or two days off" ice schedule. The 33-year-old blueliner remains on injured reserve and has made just 15 appearances this season.
