NHL Player News

Mukhamadullin (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Monday.

Mukhamadullin sustained an upper-body injury against the Ducks on Tuesday, and he won't be able to return to game action to close out the season. He's also been ruled out for the AHL playoffs, so he'll shift his focus toward recovering ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Mukhamadullin made 30 appearances for the Sharks this year, recording two goals, seven assists, 51 blocked shots and 25 hits while averaging 18:04 of ice time.

Trouba (lower body) isn't expected to be an option for Monday's matchup against Edmonton, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Trouba didn't participate in Monday's morning skate and is poised to miss his second straight game. He has collected one goal, 13 assists, 106 shots on net, 201 blocked shots and 156 hits in 73 appearances between the Ducks and Rangers this season. Due to Trouba's absence, Pavel Mintyukov will presumably stay in Monday's lineup.

Girard was labeled day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Vegas, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.

Girard is currently mired in a 19-game goal drought during which he has managed just three assists and 20 shots on net. Between his injury absence and the offensive slump, the 26-year-old blueliner looks poised to miss the 30-point mark for the second straight year. If Girard remains out Tuesday, Keaton Middleton should continue to feature on the third pairing.

Dahlin notched a goal, an assist, four shots, a hit and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Bruins.

Dahlin extended his point streak to three games with this two-point performance, and the defenseman is ending the season on a strong note. The 24-year-old has cracked the scoresheet in all but one of his last eight appearances, tallying 10 points (three goals, seven helpers), 22 shots, 11 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over that span.

Chabot dished out two assists in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jackets.

Chabot got in on the action early in Sunday's game by assisting Adam Gaudette's opening goal for the contest. Chabot then picked up a secondary helper on David Perron's goal in the third period. With his two helpers, the 28-year-old Chabot has 32 assists, 38 points, 167 shots on net and 139 blocked shots in 76 games this season. The blueliner has provided decent output offensively for the Senators recently with five points in his last seven games. He currently ranks 29th in the league in blocks and provides enough category coverage in fantasy to give him good value in all league formats for the remainder of the regular season.

Matinpalo scored a goal, tallied three shots on net and dished out three hits in Sunday's 4-0 win over Columbus.

Matinpalo tallied his first career goal to give the Senators an early 2-0 lead. Sunday's tally was Matinpalo's second career point in 41 career games at the NHL level. He has recently held down a third-pairing role on Ottawa's blue line. His value in fantasy is limited, however, as he's averaging just 12:26 of ice time per game this season. It is best to look elsewhere for defensive options for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Miller is battling an illness and will be a game-time call versus St. Louis on Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Miller missed the morning skate due to his illness and is questionable to be ready to face the Blues on Monday. If Miller isn't available, Haydn Fleury looks set to play for just the second time in Winnipeg's last eight contests. Given his lack of offensive upside, Miller's potential absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy managers.

Head coach Scott Arniel said Monday that Pionk (lower body) is "really close" to returning, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Arniel's comments indicate that Pionk will miss Monday's game against the Blues, but the blueliner is working on his conditioning and is closing in on his return to game action. It wouldn't be surprising to see Pionk return to the ice over the final week of the regular season, which would help prepare him for a postseason run.

Harley scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Wild.

Harley found the back of the net to tie the game at two apiece with less than seven minutes to play in regulation. The 23-year-old blueliner has been one of the best defensemen offensively since the calendar flipped to 2025 with 32 points in his last 40 games. Overall, Harley has 16 goals, 49 points, 165 shots on goal and 105 blocks in 75 appearances this season. He ranks 14th among blueliners in points and is fifth among all Stars skaters. Harley has stepped up in a big way after Miro Heiskanen went down with a knee injury. Harley should continue to provide high-level play in fantasy for the remainder of the season.

McCabe (undisclosed) won't play against Florida on Tuesday and will miss Wednesday's matchup versus Tampa Bay, per Mark Masters of TSN.

McCabe sat out Saturday's 5-0 win over Columbus but participated in Monday's practice. He has accounted for two goals, 23 points, 74 shots on net, 135 blocked shots and 118 hits in 66 appearances this season. With McCabe unavailable until at least Saturday against Montreal, Brandon Carlo and Oliver Ekman-Larsson will likely see increased roles.
