NHL Player News

Parssinen was summoned from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Parssinen has five goals and one assist in 11 AHL appearances this season. He also has two goals, three points, 12 shots on net, nine blocked shots and 20 hits in 14 NHL outings this campaign.

Chmelar was recalled from AHL Hartford on Tuesday.

Chmelar was called up by the Rangers for the third time this season, with this promotion coming after he posted two multi-point games with the Wolf Pack since Feb. 14. Through 46 AHL appearances this season, the 22-year-old forward has eight goals, 17 assists and 80 shots on net. With Brendan Brisson being loaned to Hartford in a corresponding move, Chmelar might be presented with the opportunity to contribute right away for the Rangers in a bottom-six role.

Hintz (illness) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Hintz will miss his fourth straight game against Calgary on Tuesday. He is eligible to come off the IR list when he is healthy, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has compiled 15 goals, 44 points, 125 shots on net and 58 hits in 52 appearances this season.

Werenski (illness) was deemed a game-time decision ahead of Tuesday's clash against Nashville, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Head coach Rick Bowness stated that Werenski will take warmups before it's decided whether or not he will play Tuesday. The 28-year-old blueliner missed the Blue Jackets' game Monday due to the same illness. The fact that Werenski is taking warmups is a step in the right direction for his return, regardless of whether he suits up for Tuesday's contest. If the Norris Trophy candidate can't go Tuesday, he'll have a full day of rest before Columbus plays host to Florida on Thursday.

Greaves will be in goal at home versus the Predators on Tuesday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Greaves will look to bounce back from a disappointing last outing in which he gave up four goals on 26 shots (.846 save percentage) in a loss to the Islanders on Saturday. The 24-year-old netminder has been splitting the workload with Elvis Merzlikins, a trend that will likely continue down the stretch.

Demko (hip) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

Demko's move to LTIR was bound to happen after Vancouver announced he would be shut down for the season Jan. 27. The move coincided with Vancouver putting Pierre-Olivier Joseph on regular IR due to an undisclosed injury. Demko will continue to rehab his injury after going 8-10-1 with a 2.90 GAA and an .895 save percentage across 20 games this season.

Joseph (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Joseph will miss at least the next four games, starting with Wednesday's matchup against Carolina, after landing on the IR list. However, a timeline for his return to the lineup is unclear. Joseph has one goal, four assists, 18 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and eight hits in 24 appearances this season.

Joseph is still being evaluated for an undisclosed injury ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Carolina, Jeff Paterson of CanucksArmy.com reports.

Joseph has seen an uptick in ice time while Tyler Myers is being held out of the lineup for trade considerations. According to head coach Adam Foote, if Joseph can't play Wednesday, the team will bring a blueliner, perhaps Victor Mancini, from the minors rather than putting Myers back into the lineup.

Ullmark will guard the road goal against Edmonton on Tuesday.

Ullmark is coming off a 21-save performance in Saturday's 5-2 win over Toronto. He has a 17-8-6 record this campaign with one shutout, a 2.80 GAA and an .885 save percentage across 32 appearances. Edmonton ranks third in the league with 3.52 goals per game during the 2025-26 season.

Drouin (lower body) told reporters he will be available to face the Ducks on Wednesday, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Drouin will have missed just one game due to his lower-body injury. His return to the lineup may not impact the majority of fantasy managers, considering he has gone 36 games without finding the back of the net and is pointless in his last 14 outings. With Drouin back in the lineup, Anthony Duclair will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box.
