Afternoon Notes: Misa, DiVincentiis, Team Canada

at CDT | by 2 Comments

San Jose Sharks head coach Ryan Warsofsky elaborated on why top prospect Michael Misa missed the start of Team Canada’s World Junior Championship training camp. Misa is not too injured to miss any World Juniors time, but was still considered recovering day-to-day, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now. That was enough for San Jose to keep Misa with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda for a couple more days, and a couple more practices.

Misa taking in a tad more pro coaching before headed to camp will be no bad news for Team Canada. They will be bringing in a potential tournament MVP in Misa, who scored an incredible 62 goals and 134 points in 65 OHL games last season. That earned Misa the second-overall selection in the 2025 draft, behind New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer, who will not head to World Juniors camp. Misa will form a formidable top-line with Gavin McKenna and Porter Martone and look to bring Canada their first World Junior Gold since 2018.

Other notes from around the league:

  • The Winnipeg Jets have reassigned depth goaltender Domenic DiVincentiis in the wake of Connor Hellebuyck’s return. DiVincentiis served as backup for a few days after Thomas Milic – who earned three starts in Hellebuyck’s absence – was reassigned earlier in the month. DiVincentiis did not make his NHL debut. He has six wins and a .915 save percentage in 13 AHL games this season, and will battle with Milic for the Manitoba Moose’s starting role.
  • Hockey Canada will announce their men’s Olympic roster on New Year’s Eve per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. Team Canada has already locked six players into the lineup – Sidney Crosby, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Connor McDavid, Brayden Point, and Sam Reinhart. They also hosted an orientation camp that invited 42 players to prep for Olympic selection. The camp roster only featured three goalies – Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill, and Sam Montembeault. All three goalies have struggled in the season since, which could make for some interesting decisions come the last day of the year. With Crosby, McDavid, MacKinnon, and Makar getting ready for their first Winter Olympics, Canada will be the early favorite for 2026 Gold.

Hurricanes Activate Jaccob Slavin, Reassign Joel Nystrom

at CDT | by 1 Comment

A major piece will be back in the Carolina Hurricanes lineup when the puck drops in Sunday’s matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers. Defenseman Jaccob Slavin was activated from injured reserve just before the game, after being designated as a game-time decision before warmups. He will return from a lower-body injury sustained in the second game of the season. He’s missed the last 29 games. To make room for Slavin’s return, Carolina has reassigned defenseman Joel Nystrom to the AHL’s Chicago Wolves. Nystrom signed a four-year extension on Friday.

Slavin only played in 36 minutes of ice time before going down with injury. He managed no scoring, a minus-one, and three shot blocks in those minutes. But two games was hardly enough for Slavin to settle into his usual role on top of Carolina’s defense. He has averaged more than 22 minutes of ice time each game through 11 years with the Hurricanes. He brings a shutdown presence to hard matchups, giving Carolina the flexibility to deploy offensive defensemen like Shayne Gostisbehere.

The Hurricanes had to turn to a committee approach to round out their top-four in Slavin’s absence. Jalen Chatfield and Alexander Nikishin both rotated into the top-four, while Nystrom did well to carve out a role on an open bottom-pair. The 23-year-old rookie recorded five assists, a plus-three, and 14 shot blocks in the first 24 games of his NHL career. He played well enough to earn a multi-year, seven-figure extension just before this reassignment. That’s a tidy bit of confidence for Nystrom, who had only played in seven AHL games before his name was called to fill-in. He spent the last five seasons with the SHL’s Farjestads BK, where he won a league championship in 2022. Carolina drafted Nystrom in the seventh-round of the 2021 NHL Draft.

Slavin’s return will suddenly provide Carolina with a heap of defense depth, after going through a start to the season that saw most of the blue-line banged up. They will carry a confident three pairs, with Slavin watching over rookie Nikishin, into Sunday’s match against Philadelphia. That should only ramp up a Hurricanes squad that’s gone 6-2-0 in their last eight games, including back-to-back shootout wins in their last two.

Blues’ Dylan Holloway Leaves, Alexey Toropchenko Returns To Practice

at CDT | by 3 Comments

The St. Louis Blues kicked off practice with good news. Winger Alexey Toropchenko took the practice sheet with his teammates for the first time this month, after missing the last seven games with burns to his legs sustained away from the team. He is expected to return to the lineup in Monday’s game against the Nashville Predators, per NHL.com’s Lou Korac. Practice took a turn towards the negative partway through, though, when top winger Dylan Holloway sustained a lower-body injury. He was helped off the ice by teammate Logan Mailloux and a coach, captured by Korac.

Blues head coach Jim Montgomery said the team didn’t have a clear view of Holloway’s injury, or availability for Monday’s game, just yet. He will carry a questionable tag moving forward. Holloway has been a spark plug once again for the Blues. He is second on the team in scoring with 17 points in 33 games. That scoring has stalled as of late, though. Holloway hasn’t scored in three games, and only has four points – three scorede in one game – over his last seven games.

Holloway has a nightly spot in St. Louis’ top-six. Should he get knocked out of the lineup, the Blues would likely turn towards Pius Suter, who could nicely rotate with Brayden Schenn on faceoffs. Suter has 14 points in 31 games this season – but is riding his own scoring drought through the last four games.

Toropchenko’s return will balance out the bottom-end of the lineup. He had a quiet season prior to his injury, with only two points in 17 games. Toropchenko has long been a minimal scorer – but hasn’t even reached half of the scoring pace that led him to 18 points in 80 games last year. Should St. Louis want to ease him into a role, they could bring Nick Bjugstad down from the press box. He has four goals and five points in 25 games this season.

Team Latvia Announces Roster For 2026 World Juniors

at CDT | by 3 Comments

All 10 countries have officially announced preliminary rosters for the 2026 World Junior Championship. The final announcement came earlier this morning, when Team Latvia named 28 players to their initial roster. They will need to cut three before the tournament opens on December 24th. Latvia’s full roster is as follows:

F Olivers Mūrnieks (2026 draft eligible)
F Kārlis Flugins (2026 draft eligible)
F Kristers Ansons (2026 draft eligible)
F Dmitrijs Diļevka (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Bruno Osmanis (2026 draft eligible)
F Markuss Sieradzkis (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Maksims Pumpiņš (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Roberts Polis (2026 draft eligible)
F Toms Trockis (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Rūdolfs Bērzkalns (2026 draft eligible)
F Kristiāns Utnāns (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Antons Macijevskis (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Roberts Naudiņš (2027 draft eligible)
F Daniels Serkins (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Martins Klaucāns (2026 draft eligible)

D Alberts Šmits (2026 draft eligible)
D Mārtiņš Vītols (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Oskars Briedis (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Rolands Naglis (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Darels Uļjanskis (Ducks, 2024, 7-214)
D Krišjānis Sārts (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Krists Retenais (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Matīss Ošāns (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Reinis Auziņš (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Harijs Cjunskis (2026 re-entry draft eligible)

G Nils Roberts Mauriņš (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
G Mikus Vecvanags (Canadiens, 2024, 5-134)
G Ivans Kufterins (2026 re-entry draft eligible)

Latvia is building up a track record of aggressive and physical international hockey. That has helped them push to a quarterfinal loss in each of the last two seasons. Back-to-back fourth-place finishes is impressive for a country that was promoted to the top level of World Juniors just four years ago. They faced, and avoided, relegation in 2023 and now boast lineups capable of outplaying much more skilled opponents.

That trend should continue this season. The Latvians saw a lot of turnover from last year’s tourney, including leading scorer and Washington Capitals prospect Eriks Mateiko. But they’ll still be able to lean on a strong group of returnees. The hard-nosed Osmanis and flashy Murnieks are set to lead the lineup once again, after each scoring four points – second-most on the team – last year. They’ll both be pushing for a 2026 draft selection, but the games will matter a little bit more for Murnieks, who is considered a first-round pick by many.

The defense will also return a long lsit of players, including shutdown defender and Ducks prospect Uljanskis. But the focus of the defense will undeniably sit with Šmits – a high-skill, offensive-defenseman who has established a top-line role in Finland’s Liiga despite being one of the league’s youngest defenders. After leading all Liiga rookie defenders with 12 points in 29 games, Šmits could be an X-factor addition to the Latvian side.

Latvia will look entirely different in net after icing a trio of 2005-born goalies last year. The starter’s crease could go to anyone this year. Vecvangs, one of two NHL prospects on the team, could have the early advantage. Starting minutes could help him kick a slow start to the year, marked by an .850 save percentage in six QMJHL games. Mauriņš could be a better option, after earning a promotion from the NAHL to the USHL, a move between America’s top two junior leagues. He has posted a .896 Sv% in 16 games with the Omaha Lancers since his promotion. Kufterins, the youngest of the three, has a .888 Sv% in 13 games. Deciding between three junior-level goalies could be a determining factor in Latvia’s chances to return to the Quarterfinals this year.

Bruins Without Viktor Arvidsson, Jonathan Aspirot On Sunday

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

The Boston Bruins will be down a pair of players in today’s match against the Minnesota Wild. Winger Viktor Arvidsson (lower-body) and defenseman Jonathan Aspirot (upper-body) are both expected to sit out after sustaining injuries in Thursday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets. Both were absent from Saturday’s practice.

Arvidsson missed seven games with a lower-body injury in late November. It isn’t yet clear if that injury is connected to the one that forced him out early on Thursday. Boston would sorely miss Arvidsson should he be forced into another extended absence. The 32-year-old winger has seven goals and 14 points in 25 games this season. He’s offered reliable depth scoring, usually operating on the second or third line.

Aspirot exited Thursday’s game in the first period. It was just the 19th game of his NHL career, which kicked off with a debut on October 28th. Aspirot hadn’t managed any scoring, unti lhe scored his first career goal on December 2nd. That stands as his only point, to go with 28 shot blocks and 32 hits. He has served a bottom-pair role, but has been rotated up to top-line minutes when Boston needs to hold a lead. His responsible defense will be sorely missing from the lineup.

The Bruins clarified that no recalls will be made in light of these injuries. That means Boston will bring in winger Michael Eyssimont and defender Victor Söderström to fill their gaps. Eyssimont has 12 points and a minus-eight in 30 appearances this season. He has continued to serve as a well-rounded, bottom-line forward. Söderström is hoping to push into a full-time, NHL role for the first time since the 2022-23 season – when he played 30 games with the Arizona Coyotes. He has one assist and a plus-three in three appearances with the Bruins. He brings smooth puck-movement, which could boost Boston’s offense in place of the defense-focuse Aspirot.

Kraken Place Jared McCann On IR, Recall Jacob Melanson

at CDT | by 2 Comments

The Seattle Kraken have once again placed their top forward on the shelf. Center Jared McCann has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury that is expected to hold him out for three weeks. With the available roster spot, Seattle has recalled forward Jacob Melanson from the AHL’s Coachella Valley Firebirds.

McCann has only appeared in 11 of Seattle’s 29 games this season. The Kraken have found a way to squeak by in McCann’s absence – with an 8-6-4 record in games he’s missed – but it’s clear how much the lineup misses him. Seattle only scored 44 goals in 18 games without McCann, the sixth-fewest in total and second-lowest on average in the NHL on the days that he’s missed.

The slowing offense is no surprise. McCann has led the Kraken in scoring in every season so far. He scored a then-career-high 50 points in 74 games with Seattle during their inaugural 2021-22 season. That was followed by a 40-goal, 70-point season in 2022-23 that still stands as McCann’s personal best. He’s continued to rival 20-to-30 goals and 60 points over the last two seasons. Even better, McCann had only missed 13 games in Seattle’s first four seasons, stamping him as the focal piece of the offense on a nightly basis.

That focus has been broken up by injury this year. Seattle has instead turned towards Jordan Eberle, Matty Beniers, and Vince Dunn to command their scoring – though none of the three have reached 20 points through 29 games this season. That’s pushed the Kraken to try and find a spark out of rookies like Berkly Catton, Jani Nyman, and Oscar Fisker Molgaard.

Melanson would be another rookie in the lineup, though he’s more likely to find a spot on the other side of the scoresheet. He ranks fourth on the Firebirds with 26 penalty minutes through 23 games this season. That’s been balanced with seven goals and 14 points, already more than Melanson scored in 42 games of last season. He has also posted a plus-five, up from the minus-three he carried through 104 career AHL games entering the season. He’s found a spot as a checking-forward and should give Seattle another option for their fourth-line wings.

Elias Pettersson Out, Marco Rossi Could Make Canucks Debut

at CDT | by 7 Comments

The whirlwind around the Vancouver Canucks will continue into Sunday’s game against the New Jersey Devils. Vancouver will be without their star forward Elias Pettersson, but could return Marco Rossi back from injury, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic. Rossi has missed over a month of action with a lower-body injury. He has been considered as day-to-day over the last week and could now get the chance to make his Canucks debut in the first possible opportunity.

Rossi should be a major addition to a Vancouver side that’s struggled to fill their top-center role all season long. He scored 13 points in 17 games with the Wild to start the season, and is coming off a career year with 24 goals and 60 points last season. He was a fringe top-line center to start the year, rotating with Joel Eriksson Ek for minutes. That’s a standing he earned in the latter half of last season, when injuries to Eriksson Ek and Ryan Hartman pushed Rossi into a premier role. He hung onto it, despite a playoff series with minimal usage, and now has a chance to grow into a much larger role for Vancouver. The 24 year old scored 49 goals and 114 points in 202 games, and five seasons, in Minnesota.

Even with that production, Rossi could face an immediate challenge stepping in for Pettersson, who hasn’t played in over a week due to an upper-body injury. Pettersson has continued to serve as Vancouver’s top forward. He led the offense in average ice time (20:37) prior to injury and continues to lead the forwards in points (22). Vancouver has struggled in his absence, with only six goals in their last three games – tied for third-worst in the league over the last week.

With a return from injury and recent move weighing him down, Rossi likely won’t be the one to relight Vancouver’s offense out of the gates. His return will be a great indication of what Vancouver will have to offer on the heels of a historic trade. They acquired three young and promising pros and could slot two of them – Rossi and defenseman Zeev Buium – into top-line roles right away. How they’re able to perform under the pressure of a losing season could go far in forecasting Vancouver’s next era, now shaped around three former Minnesota Wild, Pettersson, and inevitably high draft capital.

Four-Time Cup Champion Bobby Rousseau Passes Away At Age 85

at CDT | by 2 Comments

Former Montreal Canadiens forward Bobby Rousseau has passed away at the age of 85, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Rousseau was a part of the Canadiens’ push to two rounds of back-to-back Stanley Cup wins, in 1965 and 1966, then 1968, and 1969. He also won the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s best rookie in 1962, after posting 21 goals and 45 points in 70 games.

Rousseau, born Joseph Jean-Paul Robert Rousseau, began his career in the QMJHL. He led the league in scoring as a rookie, with 85 points in 44 games. Montreal acquired his rights soon after, and loaned him to the Hull-Ottawa Canadiens of the Eastern Professional Hockey League for the 1960-61 season. That same year, Rousseau was also loaned to the Kitchener-Waterloo Dutchmen, who represented Team Canada at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley. He would take home a Silver Medal from that tourney, in a year where USA won Gold and the Soviet Union won Bronze.

All of that came before Rousseau’s NHL career, which kicked off in-full in the 1961-62 season. He took home the Calder that year, en route to planting his feet as a routine 20-goal, 50-point challenger in the Canadiens’ lineup. He held that role through his age-24 season in 1964-65, but broke out in the 1965-66 season with 30 goals and 78 points in 70 games – all career-highs. Rousseau bounced between 60 and 70 points for the next three seasons, before dipping back to 58 points in the 1969-70 campaign.

That was enough to turnover his position in the Canadiens’ lineup. Rousseau was traded to the Minnesota North Stars, where he spent one season before again being traded to the New York Rangers. He was technically a later-named future considerations in the latter trade, a move that would prove foolish after Rousseau posted 157 points in 236 games, and four seasons, with the Rangers. His career came to a gradual close in the 1973-74 season, and officially in 1975 – the same year that his Montreal Canadiens would kick off another spree of Stanley Cup wins.

Rousseau is remembered for his fast skating and hard shot. More than that, he’s remembered for taking over games with bouts of skill, and the dynamic option that skill offered Jean Béliveau and Henri Richard in some of their best years. Rousseau was a key winger for Montreal, alongside the links of Gilles Tremblay and Claude Provost.

Rousseau’s older brother, Roland, also won the Memorial Cup. The family completed the Memorial Cup hat-trick when Rousseau’s grandson, William Rousseau, won the 2023 Cup with the QMJHL’s Quebec Remparts. William went on to win the QMJHL’s ’Goaltender of the Year’ award in 2024 and now plays professionally with the ECHL’s Iowa Heartlanders.

Bobby Rousseau will forever be rememebred as one of 119 players to have their name on the Stanley Cup four different times. He leaves behind his wife, Huguette, as well as eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. His name is among Montreal’s true greats. Pro Hockey Rumors sends our condolences to Rousseau’s family, friends, and the Montreal faithful. For more insights and quotes, visit NHL.com’s story remembering the Canadiens legend.

Jets Activate Connor Hellebuyck

at CDT | by 3 Comments

The Winnipeg Jets will get an MVP-boost to Saturday’s match against the Washington Capitals. Reigning Hart Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck was activated off of injured reserve just in time for Hellebuyck to take on the starting role. He underwent an arthtroscopic knee procedure on November 21st that was originally expected to hold him out for four-to-six weeks. He now returns just three weeks later.

This will be some great news for the Jets, who have posted a dismal 2-7-1 record since Hellebuyck’s exit. They’ve been among the NHL’s worst performers in that stretch, allowing the second-most goals against (38) and the third-worst goals-against per-game average (3.80) of any team. Their offense has struggled just as much, only scoring 24 goals, or 2.40 goals-per-game.

Winnipeg was rock solid before losing their superstar goaltender. They had a 12-7-0 record and 64-to-52 goal-differential prior to Hellebuyck’s absence. The three-time Vezina Trophy-winner himself had eight wins and a .913 save percentage in 14 games. That’s his lowest save percentage since the 2021-22 season, but still ranks as the sixth-highest in the league among goalies with 14-or-more starts.

Hellebuyck’s precedent often sits far above sixth-best. He led the NHL in wins (47), save percentage (.925), and goals-against-average (2.00) among goalies with at least 35 starts last season. It was enough to earn Hellebuyck MVP acknowledgement, making him the first goaltender to take home the Hart since Carey Price in 2015. Hellebuyck certainly sits in-line with that company – boasting a career-long .918 Sv% in 582 games, to Price’s career .917 Sv% in 712 games.

The Jets’ goalie room quickly dries up with their starter on the shelf. Eric Comrie took on the starting role over the last few weeks, but only managed to bring his stat line up to six wins and a .886 Sv% in 15 appearances. Thomas Milic also posted a .871 Sv% in three appearances. The 22-year-old is only one season removed from an extended run in the ECHL. With these shifts, Hellebuyck will return to an unrivaled role in Winnipeg’s starter’s crease, while Milic heads back to a competition for the AHL starting role.

Finland Announces Roster For 2026 World Juniors

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

Finland has become the second-to-last country to announce their roster for the 2026 World Junior Championships. This news leaves Team Latvia as the only country yet to announce their tournament roster. Finland’s roster features 25 players, indicating that no cuts will be made from this group. Finland will be led by returnees Emil Hemming, Heikki Ruohonen, and Aron Kiviharju, who joined the country for a Silver Medal finish last year. The full roster is as follows:

F Emil Hemming (Stars, 2024, 1-29)
F Atte Joki (Stars, 2025, 5-146)
F Onni Kalto (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Aatos Koivu (Canadiens, 2024, 3-70)
F Jasper Kuhta (2026 draft eligible)
F Julius Miettinen (Kraken, 2024, 2-40)
F Kasper Pikkarainen (Devils, 2024, 3-85)
F Heikki Ruohonen (Flyers, 2024, 4-107)
F Joona Saarelainen (Lightning, 2024, 5-149)
F Oliver Suvanto (2026 draft eligible)
F Leo Tuuva (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Matias Vanhanen (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Roope Vesterinen (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
F Max Westergard (Flyers, 2025, 5-132)

D Lasse Boelius (Ducks, 2025, 2-60)
D Mitja Jokinen (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Aron Kiviharju (Wild, 2024, 4-122)
D Daniel Nieminen (Predators, 2025, 6-163)
D Niklas Nykyri (2026 re-entry draft eligible)
D Juho Piiparinen (2026 draft eligible)
D Veeti Vaisanen (Mammoth, 2024, 3-96)
D Arttu Vailila (2026 re-entry draft eligible)

G Patrik Kerkola (2026 draft eligible)
G Petteri Rimpinen (Kings, 2025, 5-152)
G Kim Saarinen (Kraken, 2024, 3-88)

The Finns will bring yet another formidable group to what’s shaping up to be a fantastic World Juniors tourney. Their offense and top powerplay units will be led by volume-shooter Hemming and playmaking-center Ruohonen, who both scored four points in seven games. They built out the team’s second-line, in rotation with Lightning prospect Benjamin Rautiainen and Sharks prospect Kasper Halttunen. Hemming has ramped up to above point-per-game scoring in the OHL this season, while Ruohonen has taken on the third-line center role as a freshman at Harvard University. That should be a nice boost for both forwards as they look to take on push forward Finland’s offense.

The duo of returning forwards will get a ton of help from Finland’s new additions. Aatos Koivu, son of 1,124 NHL game-veteran Saku Koivu, is in his second season of routine pro minutes. He brings a hot shot and quick playmaking, attributes that have helped him score eight points in 10 games with Finland’s international juniors roster already this season. Miettinen and Vanhanen have taken on star roles with the WHL’s Everett Silvertips, where their mix of chemistry, hard hits, and quick passing have overwhelmed junior competition. The side will also be supported by top draft eligible Suvanto – one of the youngest players in Finland’s Liiga, and the 2026 draft class. He has matched Koviu’s Liiga scoring this season, and is considered a top-25 prospect by many public scouts.

More important than their returning forwards will be Finland’s returning starter. Rimpinen played in the most games, and posted the second-highest save percentage, in last year’s tournament with five wins and a .933 Sv% in seven games. His performance was pivotal to Finland’s tournament success and quickly earned him attention from NHL scouts. Rimpinen went on to win the Liiga’s ’Rookie of the Year’ award at the end of the 2024-25 season. He has cooled slightly after posting a .912 Sv% in 40 games last year, now down to an .894 Sv% in 23 games this year. But that shouldn’t keep Rimpinen from fortifying Finland’s net at the World Juniors. Saarinen, who has 48 games of Liiga experience, will serve as backup.

The question marks around this lineup will be concentrated around the defense. No one defender brings a full-ice impact, leaving Finland to take a bit of a committee approach. Kiviharju and Boelius will dominate puck-movement for the top defender pairs and power-play units, while Nykyri, Piiparinen, and Vaisanen bring a physical and shutdown presence. The rest of the bunch will fall somewhere in between, looking to help control the neutral zone for a Finnish squad that isn’t expected to dominate transition. Piiiparinen will be a particular name to watch. He is another top prospect in the 2026 draft, with commendable shutdown qualities and a quick jump. He’s been graded as a first-round talent by many public scouts.

This lineup notably exlcudes Buffalo Sabres top prospect Konsta Helenius, who is no longer expected to be loaned out for the tournament despite previous reports. Helenius ranked second on the team in scoring at last year’s tournament with six points – all assits – in seven games. He would be a serious addition to the lineup should Rochester have a change of heart. That seems unlikely, though, as Helenius has racked up a team-leading 23 points in 25 AHL games this season while serving as the team’s top center. Should he be added late, it would likely be Tuuva or Kuhta cut to make space.
