NHL Player News

Juulsen provided an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Lightning.

Juulsen logged a helper on Garnet Hathaway's goal in the first period. Juulsen has made four appearances in the Flyers' last 13 games, though he should have a short-term path to playing time while Jamie Drysdale (upper body) is on injured reserve. Juulsen is at six points, 19 shots on net, 62 hits, 22 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 30 outings this season.

Simashev logged three assists in AHL Tucson's 5-4 overtime win over Iowa on Saturday.

Simashev has maintained a point-per-game pace since he went down to the AHL, and this was his second three-assist effort. He has four goals and 10 helpers over 14 outings, while adding a plus-4 rating and 34 shots on net. Simashev has a promising future, but a little developmental time at Tucson is working wonders for the blueliner's production and confidence.

Szuber scored two goals in AHL Tucson's 5-4 overtime win over Iowa on Saturday.

Szuber has four goals and two assists over his last seven outings. The defenseman is up to 17 points in 29 appearances for Tucson this season, a pace better than his 32-point effort over 65 regular-season contests in 2024-25. The Mammoth's blue line doesn't look to have room for him yet, but Szuber is looking at a third straight solid campaign in the AHL and could make a push for a roster spot in 2026-27.

D'Astous put up two assists in a 7-2 win over the Flyers on Saturday.

D'Astous has been quite reliable offensively of late, putting up seven assists in his last nine games. He doesn't fire a lot of shots (42), but he has managed 16 points, including 13 assists, in 35 games this season. D'Astous is a great story -- he's a 27-year-old journeyman who made his NHL debut this season after a path that took him from the QMJHL through the ECHL and AHL to Finland and Sweden before he arrived back in North America this season. D'Astous has always put up points wherever he's played, too, so he could be a streaming option when he's rolling like he is right now.

Broberg (upper body) won't finish Saturday's game versus the Golden Knights.

Broberg was hit by Mark Stone in the first period, and the St. Louis defenseman was ruled out before the intermission. That typically isn't a great sign. Broberg just signed a six-year, $48 million contract extension earlier in the day, but it's quite possible he'll be missing some time in the short term.

Jokiharju put up two assists in a 10-2 victory over the Rangers on Saturday.

He finished plus-5 with three shots and two hits. It was Jokiharju's first multi-point game since April 11, 2024 (two assists). He isn't known for his offensive prowess, posting his only 20-point performance in the 2023-24 regular season with 92 hits and 106 blocks. Jokiharju has eight assists, 27 shots, 15 hits and 20 blocks in 28 games this season.

McAvoy had a goal and an assist in a 10-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

McAvoy is on a five-game, six-point scoring streak (one goal, five assists), and he has two goals and eight assists in his last 11 games. Five of those helpers have come on the power play. McAvoy also delivers in secondary categories -- he has 42 hits and 64 blocks in just 33 games this season, and 11 of his 25 points (all assists) have come with the man advantage. McAvoy is the kind of all-around defender who can help deliver you a fantasy title.

Crevier (illness) will miss Saturday's game in Nashville, per Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Crevier is set to miss his second straight game due to the illness. He has four goals, 14 points, 37 PIM, 62 shots, 63 hits and 36 blocks in 42 appearances in 2025-26. Kevin Korchinski is set to play in his second consecutive game because of Crevier's absence.

McCabe (lower body) is projected to be in the lineup Saturday versus the Canucks, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

McCabe is looking likely to return from missing two contests. He should be back in a top-four role with time on the penalty kill for this contest. McCabe should continue to be a decent source of physicality with offense that's passable in deeper fantasy formats.

Trouba was put on non-roster and will miss Saturday's game in Buffalo because he's returned to Anaheim for the expected birth of his child, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Trouba has seven goals, 18 points, 15 PIM, 85 shots, 85 hits and 78 blocks in 44 appearances with Anaheim in 2025-26. Ian Moore is likely to draw back into the lineup Saturday due to Trouba's absence. The 31-year-old Trouba might return for Tuesday's home game against Dallas.
