  • Devils' Dougie Hamilton: Two-point effort Monday

    Hamilton picked up a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

    Both points came in the second period as the Devils put the game away. After a sluggish start to the season, Hamilton has been locked in over the last six weeks or so, piling up five goals and 21 points in the last 22 contests -- including four goals and 12 points with the man advantage.

    Devils' Luke Hughes: Two helpers against Blueshirts

    Hughes notched two assists in Monday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

    He helped set up what proved to be the game-winner by Dawson Mercer in the first period before feeding his older brother Jack for another tally in the second. It was the first multi-point performance of the season for Hughes the younger, and the 21-year-old blueliner has found a groove of late with seven assists in the last nine contests. He's still looking for his first goal of 2024-25, however.

  • Jonas Brodin D | MIN

    Wild's Jonas Brodin: Placed on injured reserve

    Brodin (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Tuesday.

    Having already missed three games, Brodin's placement on IR technically only rules him out versus Vancouver on Tuesday -- though the Wild have yet to provide a specific recovery timeline for the veteran blueliner. With Brodin on the shelf, it could open up the opportunity for David Jiricek to make his Wild debut after being acquired from Columbus on Saturday.

  • Red Wings' William Lagesson: Back up with NHL club

    Lagesson was promoted from AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

    Lagesson has been bouncing back and forth between the NHL and AHL this season but has yet to appear in a game for the Red Wings. With Jeff Petry (lower body) questionable against the Bruins on Tuesday, the 28-year-old Lagesson will provide some emergency depth coverage -- though it's likely he will serve as a healthy scratch with Albert Johansson taking the open spot on the blue line.

  • Senators' Nikolas Matinpalo: Promoted from minors

    Matinpalo was elevated from AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

    Matinpalo has been putting up decent numbers in the minors this season, registering two goals and four assists in 17 games for Belleville. The 26-year-old Finn will trade places with Donovan Sebrango, who was reassigned to the minors in a corresponding move. Even with his promotion, Matinpalo is far from a lock to suit up versus Detroit on Thursday.

  • Senators' Donovan Sebrango: Returning to minors

    Sebrango was reassigned to AHL Belleville on Tuesday.

    Sebrango will switch places with fellow blueliner Nikolas Matinpalo, who was called up in a corresponding move. With the Senators off until Thursday's clash with Detroit, it's possible the pair will once again trade places -- though Sebrango didn't appear in any games during his stint in the NHL, instead serving exclusively as a healthy scratch.

  • Kings' Drew Doughty: Making progress in recovery

    Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports that Doughty (ankle) is aiming to return to action in early January as long as there are no setbacks in his recovery.

    Doughty was seen leaving the arena without a walking boot after the Kings' 5-2 home win over the Senators on Saturday. It was the first time the right-shot blueliner has been seen without a walking boot since being around the team, Bernstein relays. When healthy, Doughty should retain his spot on the top pair and No. 1 power-play unit. Brandt Clarke hasn't looked out of place filling in for Doughty on the man advantage, though, which could allow the Kings to ease the latter back into his usual workload.

    Kraken's Ryker Evans: Dealing with injury

    Evans wasn't a full participant in Monday's practice session due to an apparent hand injury, 99.3 KJR reports.

    Evans appeared to sustain a right hand injury on a blocked shot during Saturday's loss to San Jose, and even though he played through the issue down the stretch, he's dealing with lingering effects Monday. Head coach Dan Bylsma said Monday that he's concerned about Evans' injury, so the defenseman's status for Tuesday's game in Carolina appears to be up in the air.

  • Kings' Jacob Moverare: Sent down by Los Angeles

    Moverare was assigned to AHL Ontario on Monday.

    Moverare has spent the last few weeks in the NHL, and he's logged 11 blocked shots and 10 hits while averaging 12:26 of ice time over seven appearances with the Kings. He was also sent down in mid-November in a paper transaction, but it's unclear whether he'll rejoin the NHL club in the coming days.

  • Stars' Alex Petrovic: Heading to minors

    Petrovic was assigned to AHL Texas on Monday.

    Petrovic appeared in the last two games for Dallas, logging four hits and three blocked shots while averaging 10:34 of ice time. However, he'll head back to the minors after Justin Hryckowian was recalled Monday.
