NHL Hockey Player News

Arvidsson has played only four games this season due to various injuries, with his most recent lower-body ailment preventing him from playing the last 14 games. His return to practice on Monday was a promising sign for the high-volume shooting winger, who will be a game-time decision on Wednesday. He has two points (0G / 2A) and 12 shots in four games.

Roy played 12:21 time-on-ice in Montreal's 3-2 overtime loss to the Edmonton Oilers but suffered a lower-body injury and will be out indefinitely. The 20-year-old Roy has nine points (4G / 5A) in 23 games.

Dean was the 30th overall pick of the St. Louis Blues in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft and will make his NHL debut on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. The 21-year-old has 13 points (8G / 5A) in 47 games with the Springfield Thunderbirds (AHL) this season.

Bjugstad was limited to only 7:24 time-on-ice before exiting Saturday's 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils with an undisclosed injury but will return to the ice on Wednesday against the Dallas Stars. The 31-year-old Bjugstad is enjoying a productive season with the Coyotes, tallying 37 points (17G / 20A), 143 shots, and 106 hits in 67 games.

The Coyotes have outscored their opposition 8-2 over the past two games (2-0-0) and will turn to Ingram between the pipes for the second time in the last four games. Ingram has showcased mixed results lately but was solid in his last outing, saving 28 of 29 shots (.966 SV%) in a 4-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. The Coyotes enter action as sizeable +255 road underdogs against the Dallas Stars.

The Red Wings will turn to Reimer for the third time in the last four games on Thursday against the New York Islanders. Reimer has been solid lately, winning two straight, including a 4-3 overtime victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday when he saved 32 of 35 shots (.914 SV%). The Red Wings, with Alex Lyon between the pipes, lost 5-3 to the Islanders on February 29th.

Larkin returned to practice in a full capacity for the first time since suffering a lower-body injury on March 2nd. Before his injury, Larkin led the Red Wings with 54 points (26G / 28A) in 55 games while averaging 3.0 shots per night.

Tkachuk recorded two points (1G / 1A) in the Panthers' last outing, a 5-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on March 16th, but suffered an undisclosed injury at some point and is questionable for the team's Thursday night contest against the Nashville Predators. The 26-year-old Tkachuk has been tremendous in the latter half of the season, tallying 56 points (17G / 39A) in his last 38 games after being held to only 16 points (5G / 11A) in his previous 26.

Lundkvist has not played since March 8th, missing the last four games, but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Coyotes. The 23-year-old Lundkvist was already in and out of the lineup regularly to start the season, and with the Stars' recent addition of Chris Tanev on the blueline, the trend will likely continue, if not worsen.

Seguin has missed the last 11 games with a lower-body injury but will return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Coyotes. Before his injury, Seguin has enjoyed his best campaign in several years with 45 points (20G / 25A) in 58 games while playing predominantly alongside Matt Duchene and Mason Marchment.

Murray was recalled to backup Jake Oettinger on Wednesday as Scott Wedgewood will be away from the team for the birth of his child. The 26-year-old Murray played one game for Dallas earlier this season and recorded his first career shutout.

Dallas has recalled Matt Murray from the Texas Stars (AHL) to backup Jake Oettinger in the interim. Wedgewood was excellent in his last outing, saving 27 of 28 shots (.964 SV%) in a 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings and will likely return to the team on Friday for their contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

After a prolonged rest, Oettinger will return to the crease for the first time since being pulled in the second period of a 6-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on March 14th. Oettinger has been inconsistent all season and has struggled recently, allowing four or more goals in three of his last four games (2-2-0), posting an abysmal .816 SV%. That said, the Stars enter action as sizeable -292 home favourites against the Arizona Coyotes.

The Capitals are riding a three-game winning streak, all with Lindgren between the pipes, and will rightfully return to him for a fourth straight game on Wednesday evening. Lindgren has been sensational lately, allowing fewer than two goals in four of his last six games (5-1-0), posting an absurd .956 SV%. That said, the Capitals enter action as +120 home underdogs against a Maple Leafs club playing the tail end of a back-to-back after losing 4-3 to the Philadelphia Flyers last night.

Reaves suffered an undisclosed injury in a fight against Nicolas Deslauries of the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday and did not complete the game after registering only 43 seconds of ice time. Reaves is averaging four hits per game over his last nine contests and has three fighting majors over that span.

Lindstein was the 29th overall pick of the St. Louis Blues in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 19-year-old defenseman made his presence felt at the 2024 World Junior Championships, tallying eight points (2G / 6A) in seven games.

Brodin exited Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the Anaheim Ducks after playing only 16:30 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. Brodin is averaging 23:37 time-on-ice this season and would be a major loss for a Minnesota team that has already lost Jared Spurgeon for the duration of the season.

Woll has only played twice in March, allowing four goals in each contest, most recently on March 7th, and will likely return to the crease on Wednesday. The 25-year-old Woll has struggled to regain his form since returning from a long-term injury, posting a .881 SV% in three games (1-2-0). That said, the Maple Leafs, losers of two straight (0-1-1), are -133 road favourites against a Washington Capitals club that has scored two or fewer goals in four of their last five (3-2-0).

Chmelar was the fifth-round pick of the New York Rangers in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. He has spent the last two seasons playing collegiate hockey with Providence College, earning himself a three-year, entry-level contract by scoring 15 points (5G / 10A) in 26 games.
