  • Josiah Slavin LW | CAR

    Hurricanes' Josiah Slavin: Sent back to AHL

    Slavin was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday.

    Slavin played in Carolina's last two games, providing one blocked shot, one hit and two PIM. The 27-year-old forward has six goals and 25 points in 66 AHL appearances this season.

  • Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Adds two assists Saturday

    Ristolainen notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Jets.

    Ristolainen had a hand in both of the Flyers' second-period goals, an even-strength tally by Travis Sanheim and a shorthanded goal from Noah Cates. Over the last 13 games, Ristolainen has eight assists, 17 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating, providing quality all-around production. He's up to 14 points, 58 shots on net, 46 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 43 appearances this season.

  • Nick Seeler D | PHI

    Flyers' Nick Seeler: Tacks on goal in win

    Seeler scored a goal on two shots, added two PIM, blocked four shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Jets.

    Seeler has scored twice over the last three games, adding seven blocked shots, a plus-4 rating and four hits in that span. The 32-year-old defenseman has filled a third-pairing role for much of the campaign, serving as a shutdown option on the blue line. He has four goals, 10 points, 92 shots on net, 123 hits, 140 blocked shots and 36 PIM over 78 outings.

  • Flyers' David Jiricek: Brought up from AHL

    Jiricek was summoned from AHL Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

    Jiricek has two goals and 11 assists in 13 games with the Flyers' AHL affiliate this season. He will be an option for Monday's matchup against Carolina, but it's unclear if he will make his Philadelphia debut during his recall.

  • Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Puts away goal Saturday

    Sanheim scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Jets.

    Sanheim stretched the Flyers' lead to 4-1 in the second period. The 30-year-old defenseman has three goals and three assists over his last seven contests. For the season, he's up to 37 points, 94 shots on net, 146 blocked shots, 45 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 80 appearances, offering quality production despite a relative lack of power-play time.

  • Porter Martone RW | PHI

    Flyers' Porter Martone: Keeps scoring Saturday

    Martone scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Jets.

    Martone set the tone just 1:17 into the game. He's tallied all three of his NHL goals over the last four contests, and he's added four assists through seven career appearances. The 19-year-old also has 27 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating. Whether it's just adrenaline or his skill shining through, Martone's strong start has helped the Flyers position themselves in the driver's seat for the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

  • Jets' Ville Heinola: Stuck in press box

    Heinola was scratched for the 18th game in a row in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Flyers.

    Heinola was called up to practice with the Jets late in the Olympic break, and he played three times over five games after the schedule resumed. He's been in the press box ever since, even after Elias Salomonsson (concussion) exited the lineup. Heinola may get a chance to play now that the Jets are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. The 25-year-old defenseman hasn't played in enough games in his career to maintain restricted free agent status, so he will be a Group 6 unrestricted free agent this summer, though it's unclear if he'll have much of a market for even a two-way deal.

  • Haydn Fleury D | WPG

    Jets' Haydn Fleury: Nets lone goal in blowout loss

    Fleury scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Flyers.

    Fleury's tally came at 6:57 of the first period to tie the game at 1-1, but the Flyers responded with two goals over the next two minutes and never looked back. The 29-year-old blueliner has a point in each of his last two games. He's at four points, 24 shots on net, 51 hits, 55 blocked shots and a minus-15 rating over 36 appearances this season. Fleury has successfully kept Ville Heinola out of the lineup even after the Jets traded away Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn ahead of the trade deadline.

  • Josh Anderson RW | MON

    Canadiens' Josh Anderson: Lights lamp in loss

    Anderson scored a goal in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Anderson ended a nine-game point drought, a span in which he missed three contests. Two absences were for an upper-body injury and the third was due to an illness. The 31-year-old has maintained a bottom-six role for much of the campaign. He has 14 goals, 23 points, 89 shots on net, 128 hits, 43 blocked shots, 78 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 71 appearances. Aside from steady totals in PIM and blocks, Anderson's numbers are mostly down, which reflects his shrinking role as the Canadiens have incorporated younger and more talented forwards into the lineup successfully this year.

  • Sharks' Luca Cagnoni: Recalled from minors

    Cagnoni was summoned from AHL San Jose on Sunday.

    Cagnoni has eight goals and 43 points in 67 AHL outings this campaign. It's unclear if he will play during the Sharks' upcoming three-game road trip, but he could make his NHL season debut as early as Monday against Nashville.
