NHL Player News

Del Mastro was recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday.

Del Mastro has two goals and 16 assists in 45 minor-league appearances this season. However, he hasn't earned a point in a pair of NHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign while posting three shots on goal, three blocked shots and six hits.

Larsson supplied two assists and dished out two hits in Monday's 2-1 win over Carolina.

Larsson chipped in on both of the Kraken's goals in the second period, including the lone helper on Kaapo Kakko's opening tally. With the pair of apples, Larsson is up to 13 assists, 18 points, 64 shots on net, 81 hits and 126 blocked shots across 60 games this season. The 15-year NHL veteran has been a stable defensive presence in Seattle's top pairing this season, and he's currently tied for 10th in blocked shots across the NHL. He remains a strong option on the blue line in category-based fantasy leagues, and his recent trio of assists since the Olympic break gives him solid streaming value in standard formats.

Markstrom will tend the twine at home in Tuesday's tilt against the Panthers, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Markstrom's save percentage hasn't dipped below .915 in any of his last four outings, registering a combined .931 save percentage over that stretch. With just another four victories, the veteran netminder will reach the 20-win threshold for the ninth consecutive campaign. With Markstrom starting Tuesday, fantasy managers can expect Jake Allen to guard the cage at home versus the Leafs on Wednesday.

Meyers scored a goal and fired two shots on net in Monday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Meyers deposited the go-ahead tally midway through the second period to give Seattle a 2-0 lead. With the game-winning twine finder, he is up to six goals, 12 points, 46 shots on net and 39 hits across 35 games this season. His second season in Seattle's organization has led to the best results of his NHL tenure, as he has already achieved a career high in all major stat categories apart from blocked shots. While stronger options are likely available in fantasy, he has seven points in 16 games since the calendar turned to 2026, and a string of solid performances could lead to him holding good streaming value in deep leagues.

Vejmelka is slated to defend the road crease against the Capitals on Tuesday, according to Cole Bagley of KSL Sports.

Vejmelka will continue to see workhorse usage while the Mammoth battle to make the postseason -- this will be his eighth start in a row, and he's played in 18 of 20 games since the calendar flipped to January. His results have been mixed lately, as he's alternated wins and losses over his last four starts, a span during which he's surrendered 11 goals on 107 shots (.897 save percentage). Vejmelka will face a Capitals team that is coming off a 6-2 loss to Montreal following a three-game winning streak.

Kakko scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 win over Carolina.

Kakko recorded the game's opening tally early in the second period. Overall, he is up to eight goals, 23 points and 58 shots on net across 43 games this season. Since returning from the Olympics, he has two goals on just two shots across the three appearances. Despite tallying just six goals prior to the Olympics, the 25-year-old Kakko tallied three twine finders in Milan for Finland, which has translated to his play at the NHL level. He could be in for a strong finish to the campaign while playing a middle-six role for the Kraken, who currently occupy a playoff spot in the Pacific Division. Kakko holds strong streaming value in various fantasy formats for the time being.

Hellebuyck will patrol the home blue paint against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.

After allowing at least three goals in six straight games, Hellebuyck turned aside 31 of 33 shots in San Jose on Sunday but didn't come out on the winning side in a 2-1 overtime loss. His play in the 2026 Winter Olympics was stellar, but it's been a rough go with the Jets lately -- he has lost five straight outings (0-2-3) and has just one win in his last 10 starts. Hellebuyck will look to get back on track Tuesday against a Chicago club that is 11-14-4 on the road this season.

Lizotte is dealing with a lower-body injury that will sideline him against the Bruins on Tuesday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Lizotte has been rolling offensively of late, racking up one goal and five helpers in his last seven outings. With the fourth-line center on the shelf, Hayes will step into the lineup for just the second time in the Penguins' last 16 contests. In his 24 appearances this year, the veteran has managed a mere three goals and two assists and figures to remain a fringe roster player when the Penguins are fully healthy.

Daccord turned aside 35 of 36 shots on net in Monday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Daccord stole the show in Monday's victory, as he stood on his head down the stretch to fend off Carolina's 19 shots in the third period during their comeback attempt. With Monday's win, the 29-year-old Daccord now has an 18-13-5 record, a 2.74 GAA and a .906 save percentage across 36 outings this season. He's currently on pace to match many of his numbers from a season ago if he can continue to post multiple wins every handful of games. Since the Olympic break, he has a 2-1-0 record, a 2.00 GAA and a .938 save percentage across three starts. Daccord is on the rise in fantasy and is a strong goaltending option in most league formats for the time being, while Seattle makes a push for a playoff spot in the Pacific Division.

Andersen stopped 13 of 15 shots on goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.

Despite posting a tidy pair of periods in the first and third, Andersen would ultimately be handed the loss after allowing two goals in the second. He now holds an 8-11-5 record, a 3.16 GAA and an .874 save percentage across 24 outings this season. The 36-year-old netminder has gone 1-1-0 over his two appearances since the Olympic break, making his mixed bag of results tough to trust in fantasy for the time being. He remains behind Brandon Bussi on the depth chart, giving Andersen a limited ceiling in fantasy for the remainder of the regular season. He'll likely have Carolina's next game off before likely appearing in the team's back-to-back slate of games Friday and Saturday.
