NHL Player News

Greig (lower body) is day-to-day after missing Wednesday's game versus the Sabres, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Head coach Travis Green indicated Greig was very close to playing Wednesday, which further suggests the injury is a minor one. The 24-year-old forward will have a couple of days to heal before the Senators host the Mammoth on Saturday.

Douglas (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

Douglas was listed as day-to-day as of Tuesday, but he is now out for the remainder of the week. He'll be eligible to return ahead of Thursday's NHL Global Series contest versus the Hurricanes, one of two games between the two teams in Finland. Douglas' presence or absence on the international trip will indicate if he is set for a longer absence.

Greig, who was a late scratch Wednesday versus the Sabres, is out due to an undisclosed injury, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Greig was not on the ice for warmups. There is an illness in the Senators' locker room, but the initial report indicates Greig is hurt, not sick. The 24-year-old can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's home contest against the Mammoth.

Lundestrom (Achilles) has resumed skating and is believed to be getting close to returning, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Lundestrom hasn't played yet in 2026-27 because of the injury. He had four goals and 12 points in 68 regular-season appearances with Columbus in 2025-26. Lundestrom will probably serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.

Eichel logged two power-play assists in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Eichel assisted on both of Tomas Hertl's tallies in the contest. Prior to Tuesday, Eichel had gone two games without a point, something that has happened just twice this season. He's at seven goals, 15 assists, 40 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating across 17 appearances on the Golden Knights' top line.

Beck scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Jets.

Beck has earned three points over five appearances this season while filling a part-time role in the bottom six. He's added six shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and five PIM. The 22-year-old has filled in fairly well, but he may find himself on the move to the AHL again once Nick Suzuki (hand), Ivan Demidov (foot) and Kirby Dach (illness) are all available.

Malkin (lower body) took contact during Wednesday's practice, and he might be good to play Thursday versus Boston, per Wes Crosby of NHL.com.

Malkin has six goals and 11 points in 13 appearances in 2026-27. He missed Tuesday's game against Vegas due to the injury. Andrei Kuzmenko is projected to be a healthy scratch Thursday if Malkin is ready to return.

Scheifele logged two assists (one on the power play), three shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Scheifele has six helpers over his last four games. That has helped to make up for an eight-game goal drought, which is ongoing. The center has two goals, 12 assists, 36 shots on net, 10 hits and nine blocked shots over 16 outings this season. He's finished above the 35-goal mark in three of the last four years and hasn't shot under 15 percent since 2015-16, so expect Scheifele's shooting luck to turn around eventually.

Barron scored a goal on six shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Barron's goal got the Jets' furious comeback within two goals, and he helped out on Kyle Connor's equalizer with 33 seconds left in regulation. The 27-year-old Barron isn't typically part of the power-play mix -- his helper was his first point with a man advantage since the 2023-24 campaign. He's at five points, 22 shots on net, 43 hits, 15 blocked shots and six PIM across 16 outings this season.

Kadri scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Kadri has four goals and two assists during a four-game point streak. He has spent the last few games back at center on the third line after opening the season as a top-six winger. The 36-year-old has five goals, nine helpers, 40 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances. Kadri's fantasy value will likely hinge on how productive he can be with the power play, where he's earned six of his 14 points this season.
