    Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Tending twine Friday
    7m ago

    Jarry will get the starting nod for Friday's road matchup against the Panthers, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

    Jarry coughed up three goals in a loss to the Lightning in his last appearance. The 28-year-old is 2-3-2 over his last seven outings despite posting a strong .925 save percentage during that stretch. He allowed three or fewer goals in each of those seven games. Jarry is 8-9-2 on the year with a 2.50 GAA and a .917 save percentage.

  • Robert Bortuzzo STL D
    Islanders' Robert Bortuzzo: Acquired by Islanders
    2h ago

    Bortuzzo was acquired by the Islanders from St. Louis on Friday in exchange for a seventh-round pick.

    Bortuzzo has no points, seven PIM, four hits and three blocks in four contests with the Blues in 2023-24. He was serving primarily as the team's seventh defenseman and was frequently a healthy scratch. The Islanders put Ryan Pulock (lower body) on injured reserve Friday, so perhaps Bortuzzo will get regular playing time with New York during Pulock's absence.

    Blue Jackets' Erik Gudbranson: Remains unavailable against Blues
    2h ago

    Gudbranson (illness) has been ruled out versus St. Louis on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatchreports.

    Gudbranson was mired in a five-match pointless streak prior to his three-game absence. As such, the majority of fantasy players probably aren't anxiously awaiting the blueliner's return to action. Andrew Peeke figures to remain in the lineup with Gudbranson shelved.

Greaves hasn't played in the NHL this season, but he does have a 3.09 GAA and an .899 save percentage in 12 contests with Cleveland. The Blues rank 24th offensively this year with 2.88 goals per game.

    Blue Jackets' Patrik Laine: Still out Friday
    2h ago

    Laine (illness) will remain on the shelf against the Blues on Friday, Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

    Laine will be out of the lineup for his third straight matchup due to his lingering illness. Since sitting as a healthy scratch against the Flyers on Nov. 19, Laine has rediscovered his offensive game with three goals and one assist, including two power-play points, in his last seven contests. Once cleared to play, Laine should reclaim a top-six role in addition to linking up with the No. 1 power-play unit.

    Ducks' Benoit-Olivier Groulx: Playing more, but little offense
    6h ago

    Groulx has gone 12 games without a point.

    Groulx was scratch in six of seven games from Oct. 26-Nov. 10, but he's sat out just twice since. Despite the more consistent playing time, he's not generating much offense while playing in the Ducks' bottom six. The 23-year-old has just one assist to go with 14 shots on net, 32 hits, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 18 contests. He could lose his place in the lineup once Mason McTavish (upper body), Trevor Zegras (lower body) and Max Jones (upper body) return.

    Parssinen scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Lightning.

    Parssinen got Nashville on the board late in the first period, burying a loose puck on the power play to tie the game 1-1. The 22-year-old Parssinen has shown signs of life offensively of late, posting two goals and three points in his last five games. He now has five goals (two on the man advantage) and seven points through 25 games after posting 25 points (six goals, 19 assists) as a rookie last season.

    7h ago

    Gruden was recalled from AHL Ilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.

    Gruden will be one of three called-up players competing for two spots in the lineup against Florida on Friday. The 23-year-old Michigan native has just three games of NHL experience, all from last season, in which he registered four hits and one block while averaging a mere 5:20 of ice time.

    Lightning's Alex Barre-Boulet: Finds scoresheet in loss
    8h ago

    Barre-Boulet scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 5-1 loss to the Predators.

    Barre-Boulet scored Tampa's lone goal in the first period Thursday, one-timing a feed from Brandon Hagel to give the Lightning an early 1-0 lead. The goal is Barre-Boulet's first point since Nov. 7 -- the 26-year-old forward had been scoreless in his last nine games while serving as a healthy scratch in five contests. While Barre-Boulet can offer some scoring upside in the Lightning's top-six, it's hard to rely on consistent production at this point. He has five goals and eight points through 21 games this season.

    8h ago

    Kuznetsov scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to Dallas.

    Kuznetsov was a healthy scratch in Washington's last game versus Arizona after tallying just one point in his prior six games. The veteran winger made an impact in his return Thursday, finishing a breakaway in the second period to put the Caps ahead 3-1. Kuznetsov now has five goals and 10 points through 20 games this season after posting 55 points (12 goals, 43 assists) last year.

    Kraken's Andre Burakovsky: Week-to-week with new injury
    3h ago

    Burakovsky is week-to-week with an undisclosed injury, coach Dave Hakstol told Kate Shefte of The Seattle Times on Friday.

    Burakovsky sustained the injury during Thursday's 2-1 loss to Seattle, which was his first game since Oct. 21 due to an upper-body injury. Hakstol said Burakovsky's current issue is unrelated to the injury he just recovered from. The 28-year-old forward has three assists in seven contests this campaign. When healthy, he's a top-six option for Seattle and typically serves on the second power-play unit.

Since Nov. 12, Johnston has played in just five of 13 games. The 29-year-old has two assists, 29 hits, 29 PIM and 13 shots on goal through 18 contests in a fourth-line role.
