NHL Player News

Luukkonen will start on the road versus the Devils on Wednesday, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.

Luukkonen was activated from injured reserve and will suit up Wednesday after his lower-body injury cost him the opportunity to represent Finland at the Olympics. The 26-year-old goalie went 4-2-1 over eight games in January, but he had a mediocre 3.21 GAA and .901 save percentage in those contests.

Wilson (illness) won't suit up Wednesday versus the Flyers.

Wilson was considered a game-time decision, and the Capitals will opt to play it safe with the power winger. His next chance to play is Friday versus the Golden Knights, which is the first half of a back-to-back set that concludes Saturday in Montreal.

Meyers (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, per Sound of Hockey.

Meyers is now eligible to return to the lineup Wednesday versus the Stars. The 27-year-old had earned three points over two games prior to missing the Kraken's last seven contests before the Olympic break. Meyers is likely slated for fourth-line duties, assuming he plays Wednesday.

Catton (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday, per Sound of Hockey.

Catton is clear to return to the lineup versus the Stars on Wednesday, though it's not yet clear if he'll play. The 20-year-old should be expected to settle into a middle-six role. He had six points over 16 outings in January prior to his three-game injury absence.

Joshua (lacerated kidney) was taken off long-term injured reserve Wednesday.

Even with his activation, Joshua is in line to be a healthy scratch versus the Lightning on Wednesday. Prior to his long-term absence, the 29-year-old winger had gone six games without registering a point, though he did dish out 22 hits over that stretch. Whenever Joshua does get into the lineup, it figures to be in a bottom-six role.

Murray was reassigned to AHL Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Murray has a 2.86 GAA and a .904 save percentage in 29 outings with Milwaukee this campaign. He hasn't played in the NHL in 2025-26.

Hoglander (lower body) is available for Wednesday's game against the Jets, NHL.com reports.

Hoglander missed the Canucks' final four games ahead of the Olympic break due to a lower-body injury, but he'll be back in action during the team's first matchup following the layoff. Over 18 appearances this year, he's recorded two assists, 28 hits, six PIM and four blocked shots while averaging 11:32 of ice time.

Hellebuyck will not be in the lineup against the Canucks on Wednesday.

Hellebuyck was designated as a non-roster player by the Jets to free up a roster spot. It will be Eric Comrie who gets the road start against Vancouver, while Domenic DiVincentiis serves as the backup. After his phenomenal performance at the Olympics, Hellebuyck should continue to see the bulk of the workload for Winnipeg, which could start with Friday's road game against Anaheim.

Catton (upper body) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Dallas.

Catton has five goals and 11 points in 40 outings in 2025-26. He was last in the lineup Jan. 29. Catton will probably serve in the bottom six if he's healthy enough to return Wednesday. Catton isn't the only question mark for Seattle going into the game. Jaden Schwartz (lower body) and Ben Meyers (lower body) also might return from injury.

Meyers (lower body) is expected to be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Dallas.

Meyers has five goals and 11 points in 31 outings in 2025-26. He hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 21 due to the injury. Berkly Catton (upper body) and Jaden Schwartz (lower body) are also questionable, so there are a lot of unknowns regarding Seattle's forward corps going into Wednesday's action.
