Rotowire
But scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, doled out four hits, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Maple Leafs.

But has shown some promise so far, but he's been limited to six points, 32 shots on net, 11 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 20 appearances.

Rotowire
But scored three goals on eight shots in AHL Tucson's 4-3 overtime win over Coachella Valley on Saturday.

He's already proving his talent in the AHL, though he's also shooting 21.2 percent, which is likely an unsustainable pace even in a league he seems to be outmatching already.

Mammoth's Daniil But: Dealing with illness
Rotowire

But didn't participate in Friday's practice session, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's preseason finale against San Jose. The exact nature of his illness isn't yet clear, but regardless of whether he plays Saturday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him in the mix to return for Thursday's Opening Night matchup against Colorado.

Hockey Club's Daniil But: Solid work in KHL
Rotowire
But has nine goals and 24 points in 47 outings with KHL Yaroslavl this season.
That's a modest increase over the 21 points (10 goals) in 55 regular-season appearances But provided with Yaroslavl in 2023-24. But is a Utah prospect, selected by Arizona with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old forward is a towering presence at 6-foot-6 and might eventually use that size to his advantage in a middle-six role in Utah. However, he's likely still years away from reaching his full potential.
