Solovyov was assigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Saturday.

Solovyov has been a healthy scratch for Pittsburgh's last seven games. He hasn't earned a point in three NHL outings this season, but he has contributed three shots on net, two blocked shots and one hit.

Capobianco (leg) was moved to long-term injured reserve Saturday.

Dallas also recalled Kyle Burroughs from AHL Texas on Saturday and placed Lian Bichsel (lower body) on injured reserve. Capobianco hasn't played since Oct. 27 against New Jersey, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances this season, but he has registered three shots on net, three blocked shots and two hits.

Bichsel (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

Dallas also recalled Kyle Burroughs from AHL Texas on Saturday and moved Kyle Capobianco (leg) to long-term injured reserve. Bichsel is week-to-week after being injured in Thursday's 8-3 loss to Winnipeg. He has one assist, 10 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 39 hits in 18 appearances this season.

Lindgren (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

After missing the last 13 games, Lindgren appears poised to return to the lineup against Carolina on Saturday. He hasn't posted a point in four appearances this season, but he has earned three shots on net, four blocked shots, one hit and seven PIM.

Morrison was assigned to AHL Coachella Valley on Saturday.

In a corresponding move, Seattle activated Ryan Lindgren (upper body) from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's matchup against Carolina. Morrison hasn't logged any NHL playing time yet in 2026-27. He has notched three goals and 10 points in 12 AHL appearances this season.

Staal (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

After a 14-game absence with a torn calf muscle, Staal appears on track to return to the lineup against Seattle on Saturday. He hasn't earned a point in six appearances this campaign, but he has collected six shots on net, three blocked shots and 19 hits.

Reilly will be placed on waivers Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

In a corresponding move, Staal (calf) was removed from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's contest against Seattle. Reilly has been a healthy scratch for the last 10 games. He has two assists, nine shots on net, six blocked shots and 15 hits in eight NHL appearances this season.

Wotherspoon notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

Wotherspoon missed about four weeks due to an upper-body injury. This was his second game back, and he's been filling a bottom-four role. The helper was his first point as a Golden Knight. Wotherspoon has added eight shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over eight appearances this season. Given his usage and his production so far, it's unlikely he repeats his 30-point breakout from last year.

Andersson scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

Andersson had gone 10 games without a goal, adding just one assist and 14 shots on net in that span. The 30-year-old defenseman has maintained a steady top-four role this season, but his power-play time has fluctuated, which isn't helping his offense. He's at three goals, four assists, 38 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating over 21 appearances. He's on pace to fall short of the 30-point mark for the first time since the abbreviated 2020-21 campaign.

Olofsson scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Predators.

Olofsson has two goals and three assists over his last four games since he returned from an undisclosed injury. That kind of production is enough to get attention in fantasy. Olofsson has a risk of streaky production from the third line, though he's also on the first power-play unit. He's up to six goals, 10 points, 24 shots on net and a plus-4 rating through eight appearances this season.
