  • Blue Jackets' Luca Del Bel Belluz: Recalled on emergency basis

    Del Bel Belluz was called up from AHL Cleveland on Friday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

    The Blue Jackets are down a forward, as Brendan Gaunce (personal) left the team Thursday due to his wife expecting a baby. The 22-year-old Del Bel Belluz has played 11 games at the NHL level this season, picking up one assist. He had five goals and eight assists in 14 AHL games before his recall. Del Bel Belluz could join the lineup in Anaheim on Saturday if Gaunce is unable to return in time.

  • David Perron LW | OTT

    Senators' David Perron: Scores against Pens

    Perron scored a goal on one shot in a 4-0 win over Pittsburgh on Thursday.

    Perron has notched five goals and 11 assists in 33 games this season, including five power-play points. At this stage of his career, the veteran winger may no longer be a 20-goal producer but should still be capable of generating mid-range fantasy value in a middle-six role for the Senators.

  • Claude Giroux LW | OTT

    Senators' Claude Giroux: Bends twine Thursday

    Giroux scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 4-0 victory over Pittsburgh.

    Giroux was stuck in a rut from mid-November to mid-December, going 11 games without finding the back of the net. Since then, the veteran center has scored twice in his last four outings, adding an assist along the way. The Ontario native should still be capable of challenging for the 50-point threshold this year if he can avoid any more long-term slumps.

  • Senators' Drake Batherson: Grabs two assists

    Batherson recorded two helpers in a 4-0 win over the Penguins on Thursday.

    Batherson has registered four multi-point games in his last seven outings, tallying a combined four goals and six helpers, including seven power-play points. The 27-year-old winger has reached the 60-point mark in each of his last three seasons and is on pace to set a new personal best in 2025-26.

  • Brady Tkachuk LW | OTT

    Senators' Brady Tkachuk: Scores twice in win

    Tkachuk scored two goals on five shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Penguins.

    Since returning from a 20-game stint on injured reserve, Tkachuk has been rolling offensively, racking up four goals and six helpers, including five power-play points, in his last 10 outings. At his current point-per-game pace, Tkachuk will reach the 60-point threshold for the fourth time in the last five years.

  • Senators' Linus Ullmark: Shuts out Pens

    Ullmark stopped all 24 shots he faced in a shutout win over Pittsburgh on Thursday.

    It was Ullmark's first shutout of the season as he extended a three-game winning streak. This year, the 32-year-old backstop is 13-8-4 with a 2.89 GAA and .884 save percentage across 25 appearances. With a back-to-back on the horizon, Ullmark figures to get the start against either the Blackhawks or Bruins on Saturday or Sunday, respectively, while Leevi Merilainen takes the other game.

  • Penguins' Arturs Silovs: Concedes four in loss

    Silovs gave up four goals on 26 shots in Thursday's 4-0 defeat to the Senators.

    Silovs is mired in a seven-game losing streak during which he has posted a 0-3-4 record and .849 save percentage. Even with the whole team struggling, Silovs could struggle to pick up wins and may find himself sliding even further down the depth chart if the club decides to bring youngster Sergei Murashov up from the minors.

  • Stars' Cameron Schmidt: Four-goal game in WHL win

    Schmidt scored four goals on eight shots in WHL Vancouver's 7-4 win over Victoria on Thursday.

    Schmidt's point streak is up to 14 games, but this was his best outing of the year. During that span, he has 10 goals and 12 assists. He's now at 22 goals, 48 points, 131 shots and a minus-14 rating over 33 appearances. He ranks second in the WHL in points and tied for third in goals. The Stars haven't been afraid to pick undersized forwards before, and Schmidt, the 94th overall pick in 2025, looks to be the latest player to fit that trend.

  • Corey Perry RW | LA

    Kings' Corey Perry: Chips in with helper

    Perry logged an assist, two shots on goal and 12 PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

    Perry helped out on Adrian Kempe's game-tying tally at 5:21 of the second period. It's now been 18 games since Perry's last goal, though he has four assists, 31 shots on net and 18 PIM in that span. The agitating winger was never going to sustain his hot start to the year, but he's at a decent 15 points, 56 shots, 14 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances. He does enough to be a streaming option in deeper formats.

  • Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Supplies two helpers

    Celebrini notched two assists and eight shots on goal in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Stars.

    Celebrini has three goals and six helpers over his last three outings. The 19-year-old had a hand in both of Collin Graf's goals in this contest. For the season, Celebrini is riding high with 18 goals, 35 assists, 110 shots on net and a plus-13 rating over 35 appearances, production that puts him among the NHL's top scorers. He should be in fantasy lineups whenever the Sharks are on the schedule.
