White was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday.

White hasn't yet made his season debut for the Devils this season, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after Erik Haula (ankle) was placed on injured reserve. Over 26 appearances with Utica this year, White has recorded a goal, 10 assists, 27 PIM and a plus-2 rating.

Blankenburg notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

Blankenburg ended a four-game point drought when he set up Filip Forsberg's game-tying goal late in the third period. The 26-year-old Blankenburg has done well to secure his spot in the lineup for Nashville, often playing on the second pairing in recent weeks. He has just five points through 22 outings, though he's added 35 shots on net, 23 hits, 24 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating to provide decent numbers in non-scoring areas.

Faulk logged a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over Calgary.

Faulk has four helpers over five contests since he returned from a two-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 32-year-old defenseman is gaining some consistency on offense while continuing to see top-four minutes. Overall, Faulk has 17 points, 70 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 49 hits and a minus-9 rating over 42 appearances.

Parayko scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over Calgary.

Parayko's goal at 13:53 of the first period ended up being the game-winner. This was his third consecutive appearance with a goal, and the defenseman has scored five times while adding five assists across his last 11 outings. For the season, Parayko has 10 tallies and 26 points in 46 contests, identically matching his offensive output from 82 games in 2023-24. He's added 89 shots on net, 69 hits and 110 blocked shots in 2024-25 to provide well-rounded production.

Klingberg (hip) signed a one-year contract with the Oilers on Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Klingberg has been out of action for over a year, with his most recent NHL game coming Nov. 11, 2023, against Vancouver. The 32-year-old blueliner will look to revive his NHL career after undergoing hip-resurfacing surgery. After eight years with Dallas, Klingberg bounced around recently, playing for Anaheim, Minnesota and Toronto -- and now Edmonton -- over his last three seasons. While Saturday's clash with Vancouver likely comes too soon, Klingberg could be in action before the end of January.

York scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, went plus-2, logged three hits and blocked three shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Islanders.

York's third-period tally ended up being the game-winner. It was his first goal since Dec. 7, and he was limited to six assists over 17 outings between goals. The blueliner has 11 points, 36 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 32 appearances this season. York has maintained a top-four role in 2024-25 despite failing to take the next step forward on offense.

Severson notched an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

Severson has two helpers, nine shots on net and a plus-4 rating over his last four contests. He's worked his way back into a steady bottom-four role after being scratched a few times in recent weeks. For the season, the defenseman is at 19 points, 68 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 42 outings. The risk of being scratched again negates some fantasy value for Severson, who has at least been decent on offense when in the lineup.

Brodin (lower body) will not join the Wild for their two-game road trip, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports Friday.

Considering Brodin has already missed four games due to his lower-body issue, and will now be out for at least two more, he figures to be a strong candidate for injured reserve if Minnesota needs the roster spot. It's a tough blow for the veteran blueliner, as he has registered a point in six of his last seven outings for a combined two goals and five helpers. With Brock Faber (upper body) back in action, the last spot on the blue line will go to Travis Dermott or David Jiricek -- at least until Brodin is given the all-clear.

Spurgeon (lower body) will not be on the Wild's upcoming two-game road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Spurgeon has been out of action since Dec. 31 when he was hurt versus Nashville. He will miss Saturday's game in Nashville, as well as Monday's tilt in Colorado. Spurgeon has missed the last seven contests and has four goals and nine assists across 32 games this season.

Faber (upper body) will be in the lineup to face the Predators on Saturday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Faber returned following a four-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Prior to his absence, the 22-year-old Minnesota native was stuck in a five-game goal drought during which he registered one assist, eight shots and seven blocks. In addition to retaking his top-pairing assignment, Faber figures to link up with the No. 1 power-play unit, a role that he's been successful in, as he's recorded seven of his 20 points this year with the man advantage.
