NHL Player News

Terry (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

In a corresponding move, the Ducks placed Leo Carlsson (thigh) on injured reserve. After missing the last 11 games, Terry should return to the lineup against Vegas on Sunday. He has compiled 13 goals, 42 points and 103 shots on net in 43 appearances this season.

MacDermid didn't appear in any of the Senators' games in January.

That's 16 straight contests in the press box for the enforcer. MacDermid had an assist, five hits and 17 PIM over eight outings in December when he logged more consistent playing time. He's at 33 PIM, 13 hits and a minus-3 rating over 16 contests this season. MacDermid is a non-fantasy player even when he's in a full-time role, as he offers far too little offense.

Carlsson (thigh) was placed on injured reserve by the Ducks on Sunday, according to the NHL media site.

This move doesn't really change much about the timeline for Carlsson, who has missed the last nine games due to a thigh injury and has already been ruled out for the Olympics. In a corresponding move, Troy Terry (upper body) will return to the lineup for the Ducks against the Golden Knights on Sunday. Carlsson has 44 points (18 goals, 26 assists) in 44 games on the season.

Luostarinen scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Jets.

Luostarinen has earned two goals and two assists over his last seven games. The 27-year-old winger has played on the top line lately due to the absences of Anton Lundell (upper body) and Brad Marchand (undisclosed), which have left the Panthers a little thin up front. Luostarinen is at 23 points, 72 shots on net, 93 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 46 contests this season. He's on track to reach the 30-point mark for just the second time in his career.

Nyquist logged an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

Nyquist logged just two helpers in four appearances during January. His struggles this season have been obvious, leaving him as a regular healthy scratch as the Jets try to right the ship. The 36-year-old winger is at nine helpers, 41 shots on net, 19 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through just 33 outings. Nyquist isn't guaranteed to be in the lineup, and he has often played on the fourth line lately when he suits up.

Perfetti scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

Perfetti has been limited to two goals over his last nine outings. The 24-year-old has struggled to string together strong performances this season, but that's been a common theme for the Jets as a whole, outside of the top line and Josh Morrissey. Perfetti is at five goals, 16 points, 72 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-8 rating over 40 appearances, mainly in a second-line role.

Forsberg will be between the pipes for Sunday's road matchup against Carolina, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Forsberg will get the second half of the Kings' back-to-back after Darcy Kuemper played in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Philadelphia. The 33-year-old Forsberg has a 9-6-4 record with a 2.48 GAA, a .910 save percentage and one shutout through 20 appearances this season. Carolina ranks fifth in the league with 3.41 goals per game in the 2025-26 campaign.

Kirkland was placed on waivers by the Flames, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports Sunday.

Kirkland has appeared in 20 games this season, posting one goal and one assist in those contests. However, he was a scratch Saturday night and now the 29-year-old is hitting waivers Sunday. If he clears, he's likely to report to AHL Calgary, where he has seven points (five goals, two assists) in 14 games.

Schneider notched an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Penguins.

Schneider has three helpers over his last eight outings. The 24-year-old defenseman is seeing steady top-four minutes, mainly as a defensive presence, while Adam Fox (lower body) remains out. Schneider is up to 11 points, 74 shots on net, 120 hits, 89 blocked shots and a minus-14 rating through 56 appearances. His physicality gives him some appeal in deep fantasy formats, but he's on pace for his lowest-scoring season since his rookie year of 2021-22.

Brodzinski registered an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Penguins.

Brodzinski has played in two of the last five games. He was set to be a regular healthy scratch for a while, but the Rangers have sat out Artemi Panarin ahead of an anticipated trade, allowing Brodzinski to check in as a bottom-six forward. For the season, Brodzinski is at 10 points, 37 shots on net, 28 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-5 rating across 38 outings, so he'll continue to have limited fantasy appeal.
