NHL Player News

D'Astous scored a goal Saturday in a 3-1 win over Boston.

D'Astous buried his own rebound from a sharp angle on the left side early in the third period. He has eight points (two goals, six assists) over his past seven games; he was held off the scoresheet just once in that span. D'Astous is a great daily play right now. He's one point from 30 points in his first NHL season.

Wright (upper body) won't play Saturday versus the Blackhawks, Joe Pohoryles of Emerald City Spectrum reports.

Wright is set to miss his third straight game. The 22-year-old skated in a non-contact jersey as recently as Thursday. His status for Monday versus the Jets has yet to be determined.

Perron scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 loss to the Rangers. He fired five shots.

Perron ended Jonathan Quick's shutout with 33 seconds left in the game. The goal was his first point in 11 games; he missed two months following surgery for a sports hernia. Perron returned to action March 14, and he had just six shots in the six games prior to Saturday.

Gibson made 16 saves on 19 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers. New York's fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Gibson didn't play poorly, but Jonathan Quick played spectacularly at the other end of the rink. The Red Wings didn't solve Quick until the 19:27 mark of the third period. Heading into the game, Detroit was in a four-way tie with Columbus, Ottawa and Philadelphia for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Gibson is 1-3-0 in his last four starts with 12 goals allowed and could get a breather for Sunday's home matchup against Minnesota.

Lankinen was "under the weather," according to head coach Adam Foote, making the goaltender unavailable to suit up versus the Mammoth on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.

It's unclear if Lankinen will be ready to go Tuesday versus the Golden Knights, though the Canucks could just opt to shut him down, considering they've already secured the worst record in the league. Jiri Patera received an emergency recall from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday to cover Lankinen's absence.

White scored twice in AHL San Jose's 4-2 loss to Colorado on Saturday.

White has picked up eight goals and 11 helpers over his last 12 contests. The 29-year-old forward has 19 goals and 45 points across 42 appearances in total. White continues to be a solid AHL veteran for the Barracuda.

Chmelar scored a goal Saturday in a 4-1 win over Detroit.

It was a beautiful tip that beat John Gibson to open the scoring in the first period. Chmelar has a modest five points, including four goals, in 23 games this season, but three of those points (two goals, one assist) have come in his last five games (nine shots). Chmelar has limited upside, but his massive frame (six-foot-five) makes him a dangerous net-front presence.

Trineyev scored twice and added two assists in AHL Hershey's 8-1 win over Hartford on Saturday.

Trineyev has earned five goals and 11 assists over his last 11 outings. The 24-year-old's late surge is encouraging after some midseason struggles. He's at career highs with 15 goals, 41 points and 128 shots on net despite playing in just 57 games so far, five fewer than in the 2024-25 regular season.

Daws posted a 21-save shutout in AHL Utica's 4-0 win over Belleville on Saturday.

Daws earned his second shutout of the year with this performance. He's had a bit of a challenging campaign, going 15-16-7 with a 2.81 GAA and an .892 save percentage over 41 appearances for the Comets. Daws has won four of his last five games and is trying to end the year strong.

Quick made 31 saves in a 4-1 win over Detroit on Saturday.

The veteran netminder was stellar, especially in the third period when the Red Wings outshot the Rangers 18-6. He had a shutout in his sights, but David Perron knocked in a loose puck at the far side of the net after a wraparound attempt. Quick has won two of his last three outings. Like the Rangers, the 40-year-old has had a rough season. He's 6-16-2 with two shutouts, a 3.09 GAA and .893 save percentage.
