  • Bruins' Brandon Carlo: Provides helper Saturday

    Carlo notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

    Carlo has been back for two games after sitting out one contest due to an illness Tuesday versus the Sabres. The 28-year-old has been moderately productive with three helpers over his last six appearances, but he typically doesn't produce offense at that level. For the season, he has eight points, 56 shots on net, 55 hits and 104 blocked shots across 53 outings.

  • Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Opens scoring on power play

    McAvoy scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

    This was McAvoy's second game back after he missed seven contests due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old defenseman had the opening tally Saturday, scoring at 10:21 of the first period for a short-lived lead, though the Bruins would rebound over the balance of the game. McAvoy is now at six goals, 21 points, 92 shots on net, 86 hits, 78 blocked shots and 46 PIM through 47 appearances this season. He's on pace for his lowest point total in four years, but he remains in a top-pairing role.

  • Sabres' Connor Clifton: Won't play Sunday

    Clifton (illness) won't be in the lineup for Sunday's game against New Jersey, according to Heather Engel of NHL.com.

    Clifton will miss his third straight game due to an illness after being a healthy scratch versus Edmonton on Jan. 25. However, he could be an option for Tuesday's matchup versus Columbus after participating in Saturday's practice. The 29-year-old defender has produced eight assists, 36 shots on goal, 69 blocked shots and 134 hits through 46 appearances this season. Once healthy, Clifton could replace Jacob Bryson in the lineup.

  • Canucks' Victor Mancini: Summoned from minors

    Mancini was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

    Mancini could make his Vancouver debut in Sunday's game against Detroit after being acquired from the Rangers on Friday. He has one goal, four assists, 20 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and 14 hits through 15 NHL appearances this season.

  • Stars' Christian Kyrou: Sent back to minors

    Kyrou was loaned to AHL Texas on Sunday.

    Dallas activated Mason Marchment (face) from the IR list and returned Kyle McDonald to the minors in corresponding moves. Kyrou didn't play for Dallas during his NHL call-up, sitting as a healthy scratch in Friday's 5-3 win over the Canucks. He has four goals and 13 points in 26 AHL outings this season.

  • Hurricanes' Riley Stillman: Brought up from minors

    Stillman was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.

    Carolina returned Ryan Suzuki to the minors in a corresponding move. Stillman has appeared in one game with the Hurricanes this season, collecting one shot on goal, two hits and five PIM in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

  • Maple Leafs' Morgan Rielly: Offers power-play helper

    Rielly logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Oilers.

    Rielly contributed to the power play with a point for the first time since Nov. 13. The defenseman set up forward Bobby McMann for the Maple Leafs' third goal of Saturday's game while occupying a role on the second power-play unit. Rielly is up to five goals, 18 assists, eight power-play points, 85 shots on net, 71 blocked shots and a minus-19 rating through 52 appearances this season. It's been a challenging year for the veteran blueliner.

    Lightning's Erik Cernak: Garners helper Saturday

    Cernak notched an assist and three blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Cernak earned his first point over four games since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 27-year-old defenseman has been back in his usual second-pairing role, though his playing style rarely leads to much offense. He has 11 helpers, 38 shots on net, 96 hits, 62 blocked shots, 27 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 45 appearances this season. Staying healthy remains tricky for Cernak at times, but he's on pace to challenge his career high of 18 points from the 2020-21 campaign.

  • Lightning's Darren Raddysh: Sets up game-tying goal

    Raddysh notched an assist, four shots on goal and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Raddysh ended a three-game dry spell with the helper. The 28-year-old defenseman fed Nikita Kucherov for the game-tying goal in the last minute of the third period, helping the Lightning salvage a standings point. Raddysh has 10 points over 17 contests since the start of January, and he's seen regular top-four usage in that time. He's up to 22 points, 70 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 43 appearances this season. After a slow start to 2024-25, he's back on pace to surpass the 33-point breakout campaign he had in the 2023-24 regular season.

  • Flames' MacKenzie Weegar: Bags power-play assist

    Weegar notched a power-play assist, four shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Red Wings.

    Weegar has four points, including three on the power play, over his last five contests. The 31-year-old defenseman was cold over the middle of January, but he's gotten back on track lately. For the season, he's up to 26 points (11 on the power play), 110 shots on net, 137 hits, 110 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 51 appearances.
