  • Vince Dunn D | SEA

    Kraken's Vince Dunn: Facing extended absence

    Dunn (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday.

    Dunn won't be eligible to return until Nov. 12 against Columbus -- the move is retroactive to Oct. 17. Cale Fleury has been recalled from AHL Coachella Valley in a corresponding move. Dunn has picked up one goal, three points, 10 shots, 10 blocks and a minus-2 rating through four contests.

  • Ducks' Pavel Mintyukov: Back at practice

    Mintyukov (illness) participated in Monday's practice, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.

    Mintyukov should be available to play Tuesday against San Jose after missing Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. He has compiled two goals, three shots on net, six blocked shots and three hits in four appearances this campaign. With Mintyukov likely to play, Olen Zellweger might be a healthy scratch against the Sharks.

  • Nick Seeler D | PHI

    Flyers' Nick Seeler: Good to go

    Seeler (knee) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Washington, according to Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

    Seeler will make his season debut after being injured in an exhibition game against Boston on Oct. 1. He registered one goal, 13 points, 78 PIM, 100 shots on net, 205 blocked shots and 132 hits across 71 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. Erik Johnson will likely be scratched to make room for Seeler's return.

  • Matt Dumba D | DAL

    Stars' Matt Dumba: Traveling with team

    Dumba (lower body) will join the Stars for their upcoming two-game road trip, Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest reports Monday.

    Dumba has missed four games due to his lower-body injury but could be back on the ice soon. In his two appearances this year, the 30-year-old blueliner failed to get onto the scoresheet while registering four hits, two blocked shots and four PIM. He played alongside Miro Heiskanen at even strength before his injury, so Dumba would likely return to a top-four role when ready. In order to return to action, Dumba will need to first be activated off injured reserve.

  • Jets' Logan Stanley: Earns helper in season debut

    Stanley logged an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    Stanley missed the Jets' first four games while recovering from a knee injury. He logged 16:52 of ice time in his season debut, which bumped Haydn Fleury to the press box as a healthy scratch. Stanley may not be an everyday player this season, and he's likely to be limited to the third pairing when he's in the lineup, so he carries little fantasy upside.

  • Dylan DeMelo D | WPG

    Jets' Dylan DeMelo: Notches helper Sunday

    DeMelo recorded an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Penguins.

    DeMelo helped out on a Nino Niederreiter empty-netter in the third period. The assist was DeMelo's first point in five games this year. The 31-year-old defenseman gets plenty of ice time with Winnipeg's best players by virtue of his spot on the first pairing at even strength, but he's more of a shutdown blueliner. DeMelo has added 11 blocked shots, nine hits, four PIM and a plus-2 rating so far.

  • Luke Hughes D | NJ

    Devils' Luke Hughes: Nearing return to action

    Hughes' (shoulder) return to the lineup is "imminent" but it won't be against the Lightning on Tuesday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Hughes wasn't expected back until early November but it seems he is ahead of schedule in his recovery. Once given the all-clear, the 21-year-old blueliner should take on significant minutes on the blue line, though his power-play role is unclear due to the fact that Dougie Hamilton is healthy this year and has already scored a power-play goal through the Devils' first eight games.

  • Brett Pesce D | NJ

    Devils' Brett Pesce: Nearing return

    Pesce (lower leg) is close to making his New Jersey debut, though he won't play Tuesday against Tampa Bay, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

    Pesce provided three goals, 13 points, 107 shots on net and 113 blocked shots in 70 regular-season appearances with Carolina in 2023-24. He agreed to a six-year, $33 million contract with New Jersey in the summer to occupy a spot in the team's top-four group this season.

  • Devils' Daniil Misyul: Brought up from minors

    Misyul was summoned from AHL Utica on Monday.

    The Devils loaned Seamus Casey to AHL Utica on Monday in a corresponding move. Misyul hasn't earned a point in three minor-league outings this season. He might make his NHL debut versus Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

  • Devils' Seamus Casey: Dropped to AHL

    Casey was reassigned to AHL Utica on Monday.

    In a corresponding move, the Devils recalled defenseman Daniil Misyul from the minors to take Casey's spot on the roster. The 20-year-old Casey has three goals, one assist, six shots on net, seven blocked shots and four hits in eight appearances with New Jersey this season. He could be back in the NHL at some point in 2024-25, but he should get an increase in responsibilities at the AHL level.
