NHL Player News

The Sharks announced Wednesday that Klingberg is considered day-to-day due to a lower-body injury, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Despite seeing a season-high 5:05 of power-play ice time during Tuesday's loss to the Hurricanes, he was held without a point for the first time over the Sharks' first three games of the season. He's considered questionable for Friday's game against Utah, and Sam Dickinson and Vincent Desharnais are candidates to see playing time if Klingberg or Timothy Liljegren (upper body) are unavailable.

Forbort (undisclosed) was put on injured reserve Wednesday.

The move is retroactive to Saturday's 3-1 loss to Edmonton, which is when Forbort was last in the lineup. The 33-year-old will miss Vancouver's next two games, but he is eligible to be activated ahead of Sunday's clash in Washington. Victor Mancini will likely remain in the lineup while Forbort is on the shelf, though there's no guarantee Forbort will play regularly when he is healthy.

Andrae was sent to AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Philadelphia fans have been clamoring for more Andrae after a rock-solid season debut in Monday's win over Florida. Instead, they'll get the opposite, as he was sent back to the Phantoms on Wednesday. The 23-year-old averaged 17:20 of ice time with the Flyers in 42 appearances last season, and has proven just about all he can at the AHL level. It shouldn't be long before we see him back in a Philadelphia sweater.

York (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and play Thursday versus Winnipeg, per Anthony SanFilippo of On Pattison on Wednesday.

According to SanFilippo, the Flyers will return Emil Andrae to the minors. York missed Philadelphia's first three games of the 2025-26 campaign due to the injury. He had four goals, 17 points, 26 PIM, 65 shots, 60 hits and 126 blocks in 66 appearances with the Flyers in 2024-25.

Walman (undisclosed) will miss Thursday's clash against the Islanders, according to Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic on Wednesday.

Walman is still expected to make his return soon, likely either Saturday in New Jersey or Sunday in Detroit. The 29-year-old blueliner had seven goals, 40 points, 42 PIM, 184 shots, 57 hits and 145 blocks in 65 regular-season outings between San Jose and Edmonton in 2024-25. He's likely to serve in a top-four capacity and receive some power-play ice time once he's healthy.

Iorio was put on waivers by Washington on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Iorio served as a healthy scratch for Washington's first four games of the 2025-26 campaign, so it's not surprising to see him on waivers. He had five goals and 20 points in 67 regular-season outings with AHL Hershey in 2024-25.

Sebrango was claimed off waivers by Florida from Ottawa on Wednesday, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

Sebrango had no points, one shot, five PIM and one hit in two appearances with Ottawa this season before being placed on waivers. He also had 20 points and 79 PIM in 50 regular-season appearances with AHL Belleville in 2024-25. Sebrango will provide Florida with a depth option due to the absence of Dmitry Kulikov, who will miss five months after undergoing surgery for an upper-body injury. Sebrango might alternate between serving on the third pairing and being a healthy scratch with his new team.

Weegar notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

The Flames have scored nine goals in four games, and Weegar's helper Tuesday was his first point. He's added 14 hits, six blocked shots, 18 PIM and a minus-4 rating. The 31-year-old will be a top-four fixture throughout the campaign, and he'll add plenty of production in the physical categories. His offense is likely to depend on the Flames' play as a whole, particularly on the power play, where he is occupying a spot on the first unit.

Lauzon posted an assist and seven hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Flames.

With the helper, Lauzon has already matched his point total from 28 games last year, doing so in just four appearances to start 2025-26. The heavy-hitting defenseman has added 19 hits, two PIM and four blocked shots. He's on the third pairing and averaging 16:16 of ice time, so don't expect a major breakout on offense.

Lindgren posted an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canadiens.

Lindgren has opened the season in a top-four role to begin his time with the Kraken. He has a helper, one shot on net, two hits and nine blocked shots through three outings. The 27-year-old shutdown defender will probably be a regular in the lineup throughout the year, but his role is likely to shrink once Ryker Evans (upper body) is ready to return from injured reserve.
