Shea registered an assist, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

With both Erik Karlsson (lower body) and Kris Letang (upper body) out, Shea saw a larger power-play role in this contest. His helper came at even strength, as Shea set up Evgeni Malkin on the opening goal at 7:49 of the first period. The 28-year-old Shea snapped an 11-game point drought with the assist, which gives him 17 points, 44 shots on net, 60 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-16 rating over 49 appearances this season.

St. Ivany recorded two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

St. Ivany had been scratched Monday in Seattle, but he was back in the lineup for Kris Letang (upper body) in this contest. While his spot isn't secure, St. Ivany has done a decent job in a bottom-four role this season. He's at five assists, 16 shots on net, 38 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 15 appearances.

Letang (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Flames, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

Letang will miss at least one game due to the injury. He was labeled a game-time decision, so it's possible his injury isn't too severe. Jack St. Ivany will likely draw into the lineup in a bottom-four role.

Ekman-Larsson (lower body) won't finish Wednesday's game versus the Red Wings.

Ekman-Larsson was hurt midway through the first period and didn't come back after that. The 34-year-old can be considered day-to-day for now. If he misses time, Philippe Myers or Matt Benning would fill in.

Hughes (shoulder) was placed on long-term injured reserve Wednesday, retroactive to Jan. 19.

Hughes sustained the injury in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over Calgary, and he sat out Tuesday's 2-1 victory over Edmonton. He will be unavailable through the Olympic break, and an exact timetable for his return is unclear. Prior to getting hurt, Hughes had appeared in each of the Devils' first 49 games of the 2025-26 season, racking up five goals, 21 assists, 39 blocked shots, 24 PIM and 13 hits while averaging 23:04 of ice time.

White was called up from AHL Utica on Wednesday.

The Devils moved Luke Hughes (shoulder) to long-term injured reserve in a corresponding move. White has four assists, two PIM, 23 hits and 16 blocks in 23 NHL outings this season. He played in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to AH: Belleville after successfully clearing waivers Saturday and briefing heading to the minors.

Harley logged two assists, two shots on goal, two hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Harley set up Mavrik Bourque's power-play goal in the first period and an even-strength tally by Justin Hryckowian in the second. Both of those goals came in the final minute of their respective frames. Harley ended a five-game slump with the helper and is now at 18 points, 59 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 25 hits and a minus-3 rating in 38 appearances. It's been a down year for the defenseman, who has logged totals of 47 and 50 points in the previous two regular seasons.

Letang (upper body) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with Calgary, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

Letang is day-to-day after missing Tuesday's practice. The Penguins would be missing two integral defenders if Letang joins Erik Karlsson (lower body) on the shelf. Jack St. Ivany or Ilya Solovyov could slot into the lineup in a third-pairing role if Letang is unavailable.

Lindell scored a goal on two shots, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

Lindell ended his 18-game goal drought with a tally at 8:26 of the second period, which held up as the game-winner. During that span, he still contributed nine assists and 38 blocked shots. Lindell remains a defensive stalwart for the Stars, though he's added five goals, 21 points, 47 shots on net, 109 blocked shots and a plus-22 rating in 50 contests. He's on pace to reach the 30-point mark for the first time since the 2018-19 regular season.

Kolyachonok was claimed off waivers by Dallas from Boston on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

The Stars will get Kolyachonok back after the Bruins claimed him off waivers from Dallas on Dec. 16. He has a goal, three points, four PIM, five hits and 13 blocks in 13 appearances between Dallas and Boston in 2025-26. Kolyachonok will report to AHL Texas, per Stars beat writer Robert Tiffin.
