  • Will Borgen D | NYR

    Rangers' Will Borgen: Pots goal Thursday

    Borgen scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

    This was Borgen's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old blueliner has settled back into a top-four role and should provide ample physicality with limited offense. For the season, he's at two goals, four points, 20 shots on net, 36 hits, 26 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating across 22 outings.

  • Rangers' Vladislav Gavrikov: Matches career high in goals

    Gavrikov scored a goal and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

    Gavrikov tallied his sixth goal of the year, a career-best number he's reached in three of the last four regular seasons and missed by just one in 2024-25. He's surged lately with four goals and three helpers over his last seven outings. Gavrikov won't keep up this kind of offense -- he's shooting a career-high 15.8 percent so far -- but he's locked in as a top-four blueliner for the Rangers. He's up to 13 points, 38 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 29 appearances.

  • Lightning's Victor Hedman: Deemed probable against Islanders

    Hedman (undisclosed) was labeled probable to suit up versus the Islanders on Saturday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Hedman led the post-practice stretch Friday, so all signs certainly point to him getting back into the lineup against New York. In order to play, the 34-year-old blueliner will first need to be activated off long-term injured reserve, though Tampa already created the necessary roster space by sending Declan Carlile back to AHL Syracuse on Friday. While Hedman has yet to find the back of the net this season, he did rack up 12 helpers in 15 games before getting hurt.

  • Hurricanes' Domenick Fensore: Loaned to AHL affiliate

    Fensore was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday.

    Fensore was recalled Thursday and was a healthy scratch against the Maple Leafs, as K'Andre Miller was able to play after recovering from his illness. Fensore was a minus-2 in his lone game in the NHL this season, a 6-3 home loss to Vegas on Oct. 28.

  • Stars' Nils Lundkvist : Considered day-to-day

    Lundkvist (lower body) was labeled day-to-day by head coach Glen Gulutzan and could return as early as Tuesday's matchup with Winnipeg, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Based on his timeline, Lundkvist won't be an option for the Stars' next two outings, but he certainly seems to be trending in the right direction. With Thomas Harley (lower body) on a similar timeline, both Kyle Capobianco and Vladislav Kolyachonok could be headed back to the minors when Lundkvist is cleared to come off long-term injured reserve.

  • Stars' Thomas Harley: Still day-to-day

    Harley (lower body) has been ruled out of Friday's tilt versus San Jose, Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine reports.

    Head coach Glen Gulutzan said Friday that he hopes Harley is able to return to the lineup next week, making Tuesday's game in Winnipeg a possibility. Harley has missed the last 10 games and has a goal and nine assists in 18 games this season.

  • Haydn Fleury D | WPG

    Jets' Haydn Fleury: Cleared for contact

    Fleury is out of concussion protocol and has been cleared for contact, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports Friday.

    Fleury has missed the last 10 games, after he was injured in Vancouver on Nov. 11. Fleury will likely need a couple of practices before he'll be ready to return to the lineup. Fleury did not have a point in 15 games before his injury.

  • Lightning's Declan Carlile: Returned to minors

    Carlile was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Friday.

    Carlile has appeared in nine NHL games this year, generating one goal, five shots and nine hits while averaging 12:53 of ice time. The decision to return Carlile to the minors could be an indication that Victor Hedman (undisclosed) will be ready to play versus the Islanders on Saturday, though the Bolts could also bring another player back up from the minors.

  • Adam Pelech D | NYI

    Islanders' Adam Pelech: Ends point drought with goal

    Pelech scored a goal, put two shots on target and blocked a shot in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Avalanche.

    Pelech ended a 16-game point drought Thursday with a goal near the midway point of the second period, which gave the Isles a 4-0 lead. With the twine finder, Pelech grabbed his first goal of the season and is up to three points, 42 shots on goal and 43 blocks through 28 games this season. While the 11-year NHL veteran isn't known for his goal scoring, he's reached the 15-point mark in each of the past four seasons but is at risk of losing that streak this year. Despite losing some playing time to rookie sensation Matthew Schaefer, Pelech is still averaging 20:00 of ice time and has the opportunity to bounce back while skating on the Islanders' second defensive pairing. He's best left on waivers in fantasy for the time being, but if he starts to find the scoresheet with some consistency, he could have some streaming value in deep fantasy leagues due to his solid category coverage.

  • Senators' Jake Sanderson: Sparks power play Thursday

    Sanderson notched two power-play assists in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

    The 23-year-old blueliner helped set up tallies by Dylan Cozens in the first period and Drake Batherson in the third, but the Senators' offense couldn't get anything going at even strength. Sanderson extended his point streak to five games with the performance, a hot stretch in which he's produced three goals and eight points with 11 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating.
