Barzal (knee) was placed on non-roster injured reserve, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Monday.

Barzal's designation will allow him to be activated as soon as he is deemed healthy without the seven-day minimum required by standard injured reserve. Still, the fact that the Isles are using any sort of roster tool almost certainly means the 29-year-old center will not be ready to face the Maple Leafs on Wednesday.

Beecher was moved to the waiver wire Sunday, according to PuckPedia.

Beecher picked up three goals, seven points, 37 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and 23 hits in 35 regular-season appearances between Boston and Calgary in 2025-26. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida in July. If he clears waivers, Beecher could open the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Charlotte.

Toninato was put on waivers Sunday, per PuckPedia.

Toninato notched 16 goals and 43 points in 52 regular-season games for AHL Rockford in 2025-26. If he clears waivers, he will likely return to Chicago's top minor-league affiliate for the start of the 2026-27 campaign.

Laczynski was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Sunday, PuckPedia reports.

Laczynski signed a three-year, $2.7 million contract with the Golden Knights during the offseason but will likely begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors if he clears waivers. He recorded 22 goals, 42 assists and 35 PIM across 62 regular-season appearances with AHL Henderson last year and will be a candidate to be called up if the Golden Knights deal with injuries at some point this season.

White was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

White signed a one-year, two-way deal in late July after spending the 2025-26 campaign as the alternate captain for AHL San Jose. Across 46 regular-season outings for the Barracuda, the 29-year-old forward was efficient with 21 goals, 27 assists and 48 points. As long as he goes unclaimed, White will open the season with AHL Utica, but he could find his way back to the NHL if New Jersey suffers a handful of injuries to its forward core.

Lafferty was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Lafferty contributed one goal, two points, nine shots on net, five blocked shots and 35 hits in 29 games with Chicago during the 2025-26 regular season. He signed a one-year, two-way contract with Florida in the summer. If Laffery clears waivers, he could start the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Charlotte.

McLaughlin was placed on waivers by New Jersey on Sunday.

McLaughlin re-upped with New Jersey in the offseason, where he signed a one-year, two-way deal to stay with the organization. He played seven games with New Jersey a season ago, but he primarily suited up for AHL Utica, where he recorded six goals and 14 points across 23 regular-season outings. The 27-year-old forward could see a handful of outings in the NHL again in 2026-27, but he will likely spend the majority of the campaign with the Comets.

Tomasino was placed on waivers by the Senators on Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Tomasino spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he recorded 12 goals and 29 assists across 52 regular-season appearances between Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and Lehigh Valley. He'll presumably head back to the minors if he clears waivers.

Suzuki was placed on waivers by the Senators on Sunday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Suzuki signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Senators during the offseason after generating 13 goals, 35 assists and 30 PIM over 66 regular-season appearances with AHL Chicago last year. He's set to begin the 2026-27 campaign in the minors as long as he clears waivers.

Blackwell (lower body) was placed on waivers Sunday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Blackwell had been dealing with an injury but has recovered. He earned four goals, 15 points, 61 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 112 hits in 70 games for Dallas during the 2025-26 regular season. If he clears waivers, he could start the 2026-27 campaign with AHL Texas.
