Eyssimont was recalled from AHL Providence on Saturday.

Eyssimont has been productive in the minors this campaign, notching 13 goals and 16 points in eight games. He contributed eight goals, 18 points, 109 shots on net and 54 hits in 56 NHL regular-season outings for Boston in 2025-26. Eyssimont could replace James Hagens (back) in Sunday's lineup against Florida.

Hagens (back) was put on injured reserve Saturday.

Hagens will miss at least the next two games, starting with Sunday's matchup against Florida, after being placed on the injured reserve list. He has contributed six goals, 12 points, 34 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and eight hits in 17 appearances this season.

Yamamoto (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Yamamoto is poised to miss his fourth straight game against Ottawa on Saturday. He is day-to-day, but it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Yamamoto has three goals, seven points, 21 shots on net and 18 hits in nine appearances this season.

Duehr scored twice in AHL Manitoba's 2-1 overtime win over Toronto on Friday.

This was Duehr's second game since he was reassigned to the AHL on Oct. 20. The 28-year-old battled a lower-body injury early in the season. He's earned three points with the Moose, and he could play his way into a call-up to Winnipeg if his offense remains strong over a longer stretch.

Brodzinski scored two goals in AHL Hershey's 4-2 loss to Springfield on Friday.

Brodzinski has played well with Hershey, earning four goals and five assists over 10 games. He also had a two-game stint with the Capitals, earning one assist in that span. The 33-year-old forward has the experience to fill in as a bottom-six option in the NHL, but the bulk of his playing time is set to come in the AHL this year.

Eyssimont scored three goals in AHL Providence's 5-4 win over Hamilton on Friday.

Eyssimont continues to prove he's too good for the AHL. He has 13 goals, three assists, 42 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over eight contests with Providence this season. Eyssimont's path back to Boston is a bit blocked by the team's strong forward group, but he could be playing his way into a trade if he keeps scoring.

Livanavage scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 4-3 overtime win over Charlotte on Friday.

Livanavage was called up Tuesday but wasn't need to play with the big club. He returned to the AHL on Friday and delivered a strong performance. He's at three goals, eight assists, 18 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across his first 10 AHL games.

Epperson scored a goal and added two assists in the University of Denver's 6-3 win over Arizona State University on Friday.

Epperson has started 2026-27 well, earning five goals and seven assists over nine outings. He had 22 points in 40 games as a freshman last year, so he's trending for significant growth on offense. The Kings prospect could still need another year or more in college before he's ready for professional hockey.

Vass notched two assists in the University of New Hampshire's 3-0 win over UMass-Lowell on Friday.

Vass showed limited offense with Boston University in 2025-26, earning three assists over 22 games. His transfer to New Hampshire in the offseason hasn't changed much -- his two helpers Friday were his first points in nine outings this season. The Blue Jackets prospect was rarely a prolific scorer during his developmental years in Farjestad's junior system in Sweden. The best-case scenario for Vass is a third-pairing job in the NHL as a stay-at-home defenseman, given his limited offense.

Amico scored two goals in Boston University's 6-2 win over Michigan State University on Friday.

Amico had a surprising burst of offense in this contest. He's up to three goals and two assists over nine outings this season. The Flyers prospect split 2025-26 between BU and USHL Muskegon, logging 11 points over 27 regular-season games with the junior-level team. He was scoreless in 18 appearances for the Terriers last year, so it's good to see him get his offense going in 2026-27.
