  • Matt Roy D | WAS

    Capitals' Matt Roy: Contributes trio of helpers

    Roy notched three assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Sharks.

    Roy has five helpers over his last five games, and he's added 14 blocks and a plus-6 rating in that span. The 30-year-old continues to see ample playing time in a top-four role, though mostly in a defensive capacity. He's at one goal, eight assists, 37 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 30 hits and a plus-19 rating over 28 appearances. Roy is on track to top the 20-point mark for the fifth year in a row, but he might miss out on the 100-hit threshold.

  • Canadiens' Bryce Pickford: Surging on offense for Medicine Hat

    Pickford scored twice and added an assist in WHL Medicine Hat's 7-1 win over Prince Albert on Wednesday.

    Pickford has three goals and seven points over his last three games. The Canadiens prospect is up to 15 goals and 16 helpers, as well as a plus-26 rating, through 26 appearances this season. Pickford is also captaining the Tigers this season, showing off his leadership traits in addition to a blossoming offense.

  • Canadiens' Adam Engstrom: Returns to AHL

    Engstrom was reassigned to AHL Laval on Wednesday.

    Engstrom was scratched for two straight games, so a demotion to the Rocket shouldn't come as a surprise. He appeared in two games while with the Canadiens, logging two shots on net, two blocked shots and a hit. It's unclear if he'll be called up again prior to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.

  • Jets' Ville Heinola: Notches two helpers in AHL win

    Heinola posted two assists in AHL Manitoba's 5-0 win over Chicago on Wednesday.

    Heinola has done just alright this year in the minors, picking up eight points over 22 appearances. He's also posted a minus-14 rating, which is likely to keep him from being in the mix for a call-up. The Jets' NHL-level blue line is pretty deep as is, and Heinola missed out on it during training camp. At this point, the 2019 first-round pick would likely need a change of scenery to have a chance at carving out an NHL role.

  • Bowen Byram D | BUF

    Sabres' Bowen Byram: Goals in consecutive games

    Byram scored a goal and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

    Byram has a goal in consecutive games after going four contests without a point. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to six goals, 13 points, 39 shots on net, 34 blocked shots, 14 hits and a minus-6 rating through 27 appearances. Byram has maintained steady ice time as a trusted part of the Sabres' blue line, though he's tracking for production roughly in line with last year's 38-point output from all 82 games.

  • Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Contributes two assists

    Sanheim notched two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Sabres.

    Sanheim earned his first multi-point effort since Oct. 13 versus the Panthers. Over the last seven games, Sanheim has collected four assists with a minus-1 rating. The 29-year-old blueliner plays a key all-situations role for the Flyers and is up to 11 points, 34 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and 18 hits over 26 appearances. While he gets plenty of ice time, his defensive duties will often get in the way of him shining on offense, which limits his effectiveness in fantasy.

  • Cam York D | PHI

    Flyers' Cam York: Injury clarified

    York sustained an upper-body injury versus the Sabres on Wednesday, Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports reports.

    York's injury was not specified when the Flyers announced him as out for the rest of the game. He was hurt on a hit behind the net during the second period. It's unclear if the blueliner will be ready to play Sunday versus the Avalanche.

  • Devils' Seamus Casey: Picks up three helpers in AHL win

    Casey posted three assists in AHL Utica's 4-3 overtime win over Rochester on Wednesday.

    Casey posted his first multi-point effort of the AHL campaign. He's now at seven assists, 25 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances. The 21-year-old defenseman also saw action in two NHL games earlier in the season, but he went minus-3 and failed to earn a point. His future is bright, but he'll need to show a lot more with the Comets to earn another call-up.

  • Cam York D | PHI

    Flyers' Cam York: Sustains undisclosed injury

    York (undisclosed) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Sabres.

    York was hurt late in the second period and didn't come out for the third. The nature of the injury isn't yet known. The Flyers don't play again until Sunday versus the Avalanche, and if York can't suit up, Noah Juulsen would likely draw back into the lineup.

  • John Carlson D | WAS

    Capitals' John Carlson: Sitting out Wednesday

    Carlson (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Sharks.

    Carlson was not announced as a game-time decision, but he was ruled out after participating in warmups. Declan Chisholm will replace him in the lineup, while Rasmus Sandin is likely to absorb Carlson's power-play time.
