NHL Player News

Perreault scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Perreault's tally sparked a three-goal third period for the Rangers in the win. The 21-year-old is handling top-line responsibilities well so far with two goals, one assist, four shots, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over four contests. Perreault also features on the second power-play unit. The young winger was steady with 27 points in 49 outings in 2025-26, and he's poised for a bigger breakout as a full-time NHL player this year.

Severson (shoulder) is trending toward a return to the lineup against the Penguins on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Severson still needs to be activated off non-roster injured reserve, but all signs point to him being ready to play Friday. In 71 regular-season games last year, the 32-year-old blueliner notched eight goals and 24 assists, but that included just four power-play points.

Askarov was the first goalie off the ice during Monday's morning skate, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Dallas.

Askarov has picked up overtime wins in each of his first two starts of the 2026-27 regular season, posting a 3.31 GAA and .885 save percentage during home outings against the Panthers and Kings. He'll remain in the crease as the Sharks head on the road for the first time this season and will attempt to maintain his winning streak.

Brown (lower body) won't play against Utah on Tuesday and Vancouver on Saturday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Brown has already missed the first two games of the 2026-27 campaign. He has been skating on his own, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Brown earned 18 goals, 43 points and 116 shots on net in 75 appearances for New Jersey during the 2025-26 regular season.

Robertson was being held out of practice Monday for "roster management reasons," Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports.

Robertson could land on the waiver wire later Monday, or there could be a trade in the works, but either way, the 25-year-old defenseman looks unlikely to play against the Islanders on Tuesday. With the emergence of Alberts Smits, the 25-year-old Robertson has yet to get into a game for the Rangers this season and has become an expendable piece of the roster.

Roy (lower body) is day-to-day, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News on Monday.

Roy didn't participate in Monday's practice after getting hurt in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay. If the 31-year-old Roy isn't available for Wednesday's home opener against Pittsburgh, Dylan McIlrath will probably make his 2026-27 debut.

Head coach Martin St. Louis said Monday that Guhle (groin) is getting close to being ready to play, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

St. Louis said that he isn't sure whether Guhle will require one or two more weeks to recover, but the 24-year-old defenseman appears to be trending in the right direction following minor adductor surgery that he underwent during the offseason. Guhle made 39 regular-season appearances last year and recorded two goals, nine assists, 86 hits, 63 blocked shots and 41 PIM while averaging 19:28 of ice time.

Sanderson (lower body) will miss at least the next two games, starting with Monday's matchup against Boston, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.

Sanderson's injury isn't as bad as the Senators first thought, but he has returned to Ottawa and will miss the remainder of the team's season-opening road trip. It's unclear when the 24-year-old blueliner will be ready to return. He logged only 4:29 of ice time in Saturday's 3-2 win over Toronto. Cameron Crotty will replace Sanderson in Monday's lineup against the Bruins.

Ullmark will start Monday's road game against Boston, Senators on-air host Jackson Starr reports.

Ullmark drew the Opening Night start in Toronto on Saturday and turned aside 27 of 29 shots in a 3-2 victory. He'll remain in the crease for Monday's matchup and will attempt to continue his winning ways against the Maple Leafs, who have lost two of their first three regular-season games.

Grebenkin (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Grebenkin has already missed the required week of action, so at this point he can be activated whenever given the all-clear. Still, the move will rule the forward out for Monday's clash with the Lightning, while Denver Barkey looks set to make his season debut.
