Islanders' Marshall Warren: Three-point effort in AHL win
Warren scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Bridgeport's 6-2 win over Hartford on Saturday.
Warren has logged a trio of three-point efforts this season. The defenseman is up to three goals, 10 assists, 39 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 14 appearances. Warren has seen a couple of NHL stints this season, and he could get additional call-ups since the Islanders will be trying to fill the void in the absence of Alexander Romanov (shoulder) all season.

Canucks' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Unavailable Saturday
Joseph (illness) will miss Saturday's game against Minnesota, per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.
Joseph was also absent from Friday's 4-1 loss to Utah. He has an assist in 11 outings this season. Joseph will be an option for the third pairing once he's healthy, but he probably won't play regularly.

Gustafsson has four assists over three games since he returned to the Griffins after a brief NHL stint.

Ty Murchison D | PHI
Flyers' Ty Murchison: Recalled Saturday
Murchison was called up from AHL Lehigh Valley on Saturday.
Murchison's promotion gives the Flyers seven healthy defensemen on the active roster -- Rasmus Ristolainen (triceps) isn't expected to return Sunday versus Colorado, and Cam York (upper body) is doubtful for that game. Murchison has a goal, four points and 30 PIM in 21 appearances with Lehigh Valley in 2025-26.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Slated to play Saturday
Miller (illness) is expected to return to the lineup against Nashville on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Following a one-game absence, Miller will be back in action after skating alongside Sean Walker during Friday's practice. The 25-year-old Miller has accumulated two goals, 11 points, 41 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and 27 hits through 19 appearances this season. With Miller set to return, Mike Reilly will likely be a healthy scratch versus the Predators on Saturday.

Lyubushkin missed six games in November due to injury before playing in the last four contests. The defenseman has five assists, 30 hits and 41 blocked shots across 21 games this season.
