NHL Player News

Lindgren (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

As expected, Lindgren will be available for Wednesday's home matchup against Philadelphia following a four-game absence. He has gone 8-6-3 this season with one shutout, a 3.37 GAA and an .884 save percentage through 18 appearances.

Halliday was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday.

Halliday has appeared in 25 games for the Senators during his rookie campaign, notching four goals, seven helpers and 27 shots along the way. If Brady Tkachuk isn't back from his participation in the Winter Olympics, there could be open spots in the lineup for both Halliday and fellow call-up Tyler Boucher against the Red Wings on Thursday.

Lizotte (personal) was back on the ice with the team Sunday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Lizotte missed the final game before the Olympic break while awaiting the birth of his child, but he was back on the ice for Sunday's session. With Lizotte in the lineup, he figures to rejoin Connor Dewar and Noel Acciari on the fourth line and should see decent penalty-kill minutes.

Acciari (illness) participated in Sunday's practice, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Before the Olympic break, Acciari sat out Pittsburgh's 5-2 win over Buffalo on Feb. 5, but he should be available to play against New Jersey on Thursday. He has contributed six goals, 15 points, 54 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 46 hits across 42 appearances this season.

Hayes was summoned from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Monday.

Hayes has produced 19 goals and 30 points in 36 AHL outings this season. He scored a pair of goals in his NHL debut against Buffalo on Feb. 5. Hayes might be in the lineup for Thursday's matchup against New Jersey if Sidney Crosby (lower body) is unavailable.

Dries was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids under emergency conditions Monday.

Dries has been shuffled between the AHL and NHL clubs over the past week, and he'll rejoin the Red Wings on Monday to be available for practice late in the Olympic break. The 31-year-old has been productive in the minors this year, recording 18 goals and 16 assists over 42 appearances with the Griffins, but he hasn't yet appeared in a game for Detroit during the 2025-26 campaign.

Shine was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids on Monday under emergency conditions.

Shine will probably participate in Monday's practice with the Red Wings before returning to the minors. He has 21 goals and 36 points in 37 AHL appearances this season.

Lee scored twice and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 5-3 win over Tucson on Sunday.

Lee has four points over his last two games, though he was scoreless over the five outings before that. He crossed the 20-goal mark for the season with this performance. Lee's at 21 goals, 36 points and a plus-7 rating over 45 appearances for Ontario and has added two points in seven NHL contests.

Rantanen is expected to miss time after sustaining a lower-body injury at the 2026 Winter Olympics, Robert Tiffin of D Magazine reports Sunday.

Rantanen suffered a lower-body injury late in Finland's semifinal loss to Canada on Friday, and he was unavailable for Saturday's bronze medal game against Slovakia. The issue is expected to cost him time once the NHL season resumes, but it isn't believed to be season-ending. Over 54 appearances for the Stars this year, Rantanen has recorded 20 goals, 49 assists, 87 PIM, 38 hits and 27 blocked shots while averaging 20:12 of ice time.

Hopkins scored four goals and added an assist in OHL Guelph's 8-5 win over Saginaw on Sunday.

Hopkins has been under a point-per-game pace for both Guelph and Kingston this season. He moved to the Storm in a Dec. 28 trade from the Frontenacs. Overall, Hopkins is at 21 goals, 45 points and a minus-1 rating over 51 appearances, so this kind of burst of offense isn't likely to be a common occurrence for the 19-year-old.
