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.

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.
