NHL Player News

Chabot left Tuesday's practice session after his hand was cut, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

The Senators resume play Saturday versus Montreal, so Chabot will have a few days to recover before the club makes a determination on his status. The left-shot blueliner has contribued four goals and 27 points over 55 games this season. If he's forced to miss any time, Tyler Kleven will see an increased role.

Thompson was summoned from AHL San Jose on Tuesday.

Thompson has registered two goals, three assists, 22 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and nine hits through 18 NHL appearances this season. He played in three straight games with the Sharks before the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off and will probably be in the lineup for Sunday's clash against Calgary.

Callahan was recalled from AHL Providence on Tuesday.

Callahan hasn't earned a point in eight NHL appearances this season while posting three shots on goal, nine blocked shots and four hits. He has played in Boston's last four games and will probably be in the lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Anaheim.

Nemec was recalled from AHL Utica on Tuesday.

Nemec was sent to Utica before the 4 Nations Face-Off break, having played in the Devils' last two games. Before that, Nemec hadn't seen any game action with the big club since Oct. 22. Jonas Siegenthaler (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, so Nemec could prove his worth over the final stretch of the season on the condition that the former remains sidelined.

Casey was recalled from AHL Utica on Tuesday.

Casey has played in just eight NHL games this year, with his most recent outing Oct. 19 versus the Capitals. The 2022 second-round pick has been significantly more productive in the minors, logging three goals and 12 helpers in 22 games for the Comets.

Siegenthaler (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Siegenthaler has already missed two games due to his undisclosed injury, so he could technically be activated ahead of Saturday's clash with Dallas. Having said that, it seems unlikely the Devils would have made this move if the 27-year-old blueliner was available to play. As such, fantasy players should probably be expecting Siegenthaler to be out against Dallas and Nashville on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Del Mastro was summoned from AHL Rockford on Tuesday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Del Mastro has produced one assist, two shots on goal, one blocked shot and 13 hits through six NHL appearances this season. He has played in Chicago's last three games and will probably be in the lineup for Saturday's matchup versus Columbus.

Hughes (oblique) is joining Team USA ahead of the team's 4 Nations Face-Off championship game against Canada on Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Tuesday.

With the news of Charlie McAvoy being ruled out for Thursday's game due to an upper-body injury, the Americans were allowed to add Hughes to their roster. While his presence should be a boost for his teammates, Hughes will not be eligible to play unless the team endures another injury, according to Friedman. Hughes' addition to the roster could indicate he'll be ready to go for the Canucks' road matchup against the Golden Knights on Saturday.

Pettersson was promoted from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday, per Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com.

Pettersson will be hard-pressed to get into the lineup against Vegas on Saturday, especially if Quinn Hughes (oblique) is cleared to play. As such, fantasy players are unlikely to be impacted by Pettersson's promotion. When he has gotten into action, the 21-year-old Swede has recorded one assist, six shots and 12 hits while averaging 12:50 of ice time.

Bichsel was recalled from AHL Texas on Tuesday.

Bichsel rejoins the Stars after being sent down before the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament. The left-shot blueliner should be able to carve out a consistent role due to long-term injuries to Miro Heiskanen (knee) and Nils Lundkvist (shoulder). Bichsel has registered two goals, three assists and a plus-6 rating across 16 games this season.
