NHL Player News

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Oilers.

Ekman-Larsson logged just 5:09 of ice time before his injury. The Maple Leafs have some time off before continuing their road trip in Calgary on Tuesday. If Ekman-Larsson can't play, Philippe Myers will likely rejoin the lineup after being a scratch in Saturday's matchup.

Hughes (undisclosed) missed practice Saturday and is a game-time decision for Sunday's contest versus the Red Wings, Harman Dayal of The Athletic reports.

Hughes' potential absence is one more moving part for the Canucks, who have three NHL-level players on their way to Vancouver after trades Friday. If Hughes is unavailable, Noah Juulsen or Elias Pettersson could suit up instead.

Klingberg (illness) will play against Toronto on Saturday, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Klingberg sat out Friday's practice but won't miss any playing time. He had one shot on goal and a minus-1 rating in Thursday's 3-2 shootout loss to Detroit during his NHL season debut.

Ekholm (illness) won't play Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Bob Stauffer of the Oilers Radio Network reports.

Ekholm missed Friday's practice after playing through the illness Thursday. However, he will miss at least one game. Troy Stecher is set to return to the Oilers' lineup in a bottom-four role.

Olofsson was promoted from AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday.

Olofsson's recall is on an emergency basis. The Kraken are dealing with an injury to Ryker Evans (upper body), so Olofsson is presumably up with the big club to serve as extra defensive depth. He has not made an NHL appearance in 2024-25.

Callahan sustained an upper-body injury Saturday and won't return to Boston's clash against the Rangers

Callahan logged just 5:49 of ice time before exiting the game. If Callahan doesn't play against Minnesota on Tuesday, Parker Wotherspoon will likely draw back into the lineup.

Stillman was sent to AHL Chicago on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Stillman made his NHL season debut Tuesday, logging 7:40 of ice time while recording one shot and two hits. He has two goals, five points and 20 PIM in 15 AHL outings with the Wolves this campaign.

Crevier (undisclosed) sustained an injury during Saturday's clash against Florida and will miss the remainder of the game.

Crevier appeared to suffer the injury in the first period after being boarded by Florida's Jonah Gadjovich, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports. Gadjovich received a two-minute minor for his actions. If Crevier can't play Wednesday versus Edmonton, Ethan Del Mastro might draw back into the lineup.

Soucy scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.

Soucy ended a 22-game goal drought, a span in which he had just three assists and a minus-11 rating. Soucy has largely played in a bottom-four role this season, but it's unclear if he'll still be an every-game player after the Canucks' trades Friday swapped out Vincent Desharnais for a much better player in Marcus Pettersson. Soucy is likely to be competing with Derek Forbort for a spot on the third pairing, though if one of them can play on their offhand side, Noah Juulsen could instead exit the lineup. With eight points and a minus-15 rating, Soucy's already a shaky fantasy option anyway outside of formats that reward his physicality (42 PIM, 76 hits, 83 blocked shots), and that becomes more true with uncertainty in playing time ahead.

Mailloux was recalled from AHL Laval on Saturday.

Mailloux will be an option for Montreal's three-game road trip, which begins against Anaheim on Sunday. He has one goal, two assists, seven shots on net, seven blocked shots and six hits across five NHL outings this season.
