Bruins Activate, Reassign Michael Callahan, Matej Blumel

By | at December 28, 2025 10:01 am

The Bruins announced they’ve activated defenseman Michael Callahan and left winger Matěj Blümel from injured reserve and simultaneously assigned both to AHL Providence.

Callahan had been out since early in the month with a lower-body injury, missing Boston’s last 11 games. The 26-year-old Massachusetts native was an injury replacement himself, elevated from Providence just days before when Henri Jokiharju sustained an undisclosed injury that’s still got him sidelined.

A fifth-round pick by the Coyotes back in 2018, the B’s acquired Callahan’s signing rights when he wrapped up his collegiate career with Providence College in 2022. He’s since developed into a reliable call-up option if Boston needs a no-fuss, stay-at-home option to slot in on the left side.

Callahan has now made 22 NHL appearances over this year and last, scoring once with a -6 rating while averaging 13:53 of ice time per game. Callahan’s 48.1% shot share at 5-on-5 ranks ninth among 14 Bruins defenders to play at least 50 minutes since the beginning of last season.

Boston is still dealing with injury concerns on the blue line. In addition to Jokiharju, Jonathan Aspirot and Jordan Harris are IR or LTIR-bound. The team added some younger, higher-end depth in the form of Vladislav Kolyachonok off waivers while Callahan was absent, though, meaning there was no longer a job waiting for him when he returned to health. Since he hasn’t spent 30 days on the active roster since first clearing waivers at the beginning of the season, he can be sent directly to Providence today.

Blümel is in a similar situation. When the 25-year-old was recalled from Providence in November, the B’s were without a pair of top-six pieces in Viktor Arvidsson and Casey Mittelstadt. Both have since returned, leaving Blümel as the only Boston forward on IR or LTIR. Considering fellow call-up Alex Steeves has locked down a spot in the lineup with eight goals and 10 points in 22 games, Blümel wasn’t going to usurp him for a spot and will return to an expansive role in Providence instead of burning away his waiver exemption in Boston’s press box.

Signed as a Group VI unrestricted free agent last offseason, Blümel was one of the more intriguing under-the-radar targets on the open market last summer. He’d rattled off a league-leading 39 goals in 67 games with AHL Texas the year prior while in the Stars’ system. He’d kept up a point-per-game pace with Providence to begin the year, scoring two goals and 11 assists in 13 appearances, but went scoreless with a -3 rating in four games for Boston before landing on LTIR.

Blue Jackets To Activate Mathieu Olivier

By | at December 28, 2025 9:03 am

As he signaled would be the case yesterday, Blue Jackets head coach Dean Evason told reporters that winger Mathieu Olivier will come off injured reserve and be available for tonight’s tilt against the Islanders (via Jeff Svoboda of NHL.com).

Evason also confirmed star defenseman Zach Werenski will miss a second straight game with the right foot/ankle injury he sustained on Dec. 20 against the Ducks, but reaffirmed he isn’t expected to miss significant time and is still listed as day-to-day. Since he’s already missed more than a week, he can go on injured reserve retroactively to create the roster spot for Olivier’s activation.

Also unavailable tonight for the Jackets is center Isac Lundeström, Evason said. Lundeström sustained a lower-body injury in Columbus’ first post-holiday practice session Saturday and has not yet finished being evaluated.

The 6’2″, 210-lb Olivier returns after missing more than a month with an upper-body injury. The 28-year-old grinder forced his way into the Jackets’ top nine last year with a career-high 18 goals, 32 points, and 306 hits, earning himself a six-year, $18MM extension in the process.

So far, the Mississippi native has at least kept up the pace from last season’s emergence. His goal-scoring is down, but his total production – a 3-6–9 scoring line in 23 games – mirrors his 0.39 points per game output from 2024-25. He’s doing that while averaging 14 minutes per game, averaging over three hits a night for the third straight year, and seeing some occasional shorthanded deployment.

Per yesterday’s practice, Olivier is ticketed to return as the Jackets’ third-line right wing alongside Boone Jenner and Charlie Coyle, a spot on the depth chart he’s held all season long.

Lundeström’s performance in Columbus since signing a two-year, $2.6MM deal in free agency has been par for the course. A first-round pick by the Ducks in 2018, he profiled as a high-end, bottom-six two-way center but never found his stride offensively. That’s continued in 2025-26, with the Swede posting only one goal and five points through 35 appearances.

He’s been fine in a shutdown role, posting a -5 rating and 43.3% shot attempt share while starting 32.8% of his even-strength shifts in the offensive zone. Either Zach Aston-Reese or Brendan Gaunce will relieve him as Columbus’ fourth-line center in the interim.

Andrej Sustr Signs In Sweden

By | at December 28, 2025 8:17 am

Free agent defenseman Andrej Šustr has signed with Kalmar HC of HockeyAllsvenskan, Sweden’s second-tier pro league, per a team announcement.

Šustr, 35, finds a place to finish out the 2025-26 season after spending the last few weeks on the open market. The veteran of 361 NHL games hasn’t appeared at the top level since 2021-22 with the Ducks but decided to attempt a comeback in the fall, landing a professional tryout with the Rangers.

While that PTO was unsuccessful, Šustr did manage to get into regular-season action with the cross-town Islanders’ AHL affiliate. However, the 6’7″ righty only managed one assist and a -6 rating in 11 games for Bridgeport before being released earlier this month.

The move to Kalmar marks a step down for the former Lightning penalty kill specialist. After spending 2022-23 in the minors split between the Ducks and Wild organizations, he’d spent the last two years in top-division European leagues, including Kölner Haie in Germany, HC Dynamo Pardubice in Czechia, and Tappara in Liiga.

Šustr did relatively well for himself there, including a 20-point resurgence in 44 DEL games for Köln (Cologne), and still managed a respectable 1-11–12 scoring line with an even rating in 38 games for Tappara last year. Nonetheless, his underwhelming showing in Bridgeport, plus a roster spot in the top leagues being difficult to find this deep into the season, will result in the Czech rearguard bringing his experience to a Kalmar team that’s 22-5-3, vying for promotion to the SHL just three years after being promoted from HockeyEttan, Sweden’s third division. If so, he’d be part of one of the most remarkable stories in European hockey – Kalmar played in Hockeytrean, the fifth tier, as recently as 2016.

Players On 2026 World Juniors Rosters By NHL Team

By | at December 26, 2025 10:57 am

This year’s World Juniors kick off in just over an hour with a Group A clash between Sweden and Slovakia in St. Paul. With all 10 countries’ rosters locked in, it’s time to look at which prospects each NHL team will see representing them on the world’s biggest stage for under-20 players.

Only three teams – the Blue Jackets, Golden Knights, and Hurricanes – do not have a representative on an opening roster. The Mammoth and Predators lead the way with seven prospects each, while the Canadiens, Capitals, Ducks, Flyers, Islanders, Red Wings, and Sharks are other teams with five-plus.

Maple Leafs Promote Steve Sullivan To Assistant Coach

By | at December 26, 2025 9:51 am

The Maple Leafs announced Friday they’ve added Steve Sullivan to the NHL bench as an assistant coach. He was already in the organization as an assistant for the AHL’s Toronto Marlies.

Sullivan, 51, fills the vacancy that opened Monday when the Leafs fired Marc Savard. Savard’s role was to manage the team’s power play; Sullivan will likely assume the same duties.

It’s a quick promotion for Sullivan, who’s only in his second year in the organization. The veteran of over 1,000 NHL games as a player assumed his first-ever high-level bench role when he was added as a Marlies assistant before the 2024-25 campaign.

That doesn’t mean Sullivan’s sat on his laurels since retiring in 2013, though. He spent multiple years in the Coyotes’ front office as a development coach and assistant general manager. He oversaw their AHL affiliate’s operations from 2017-21 and served as the club’s interim GM during their COVID bubble playoff appearance in 2020, following John Chayka’s resignation and before Bill Armstrong’s hiring.

The 5’9″ Sullivan was one of the most consistent and unheralded two-way forwards of his era. 221 of his 747 career points (29.6%) came with the man advantage. He’s now entrusted with helping to jumpstart a Toronto power play that ranks dead last in the league at 13.0%.

Czechia Announces Roster For 2026 World Juniors

By | at December 26, 2025 9:39 am

The 2026 World Juniors get underway today in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. The Czechs are one of the teams opening their tournament schedule with a high-powered Group B clash against Canada. However, injuries have prevented them from releasing an official tournament roster as compared to their preliminary list that exceeded the 25-player maximum.

Below are the players they’ve registered for today’s opener – a bare-bones roster of 12 forwards, six defenders, and three goalies. There are four spots the Czechs can fill from now until the medal games if players become available to return.

F Adam Benák (Wild, 2025, 4-102)
F Vojtech Cihar (Kings, 2025, 2-59)
F Max Curran (Avalanche, 2024, 5-161)
F Stepan Hoch (Mammoth, 2025, 3-78)
F Jiří Klíma (undrafted in 2024, 2025)
F Matej Kubiesa (undrafted in 2024, 2025)
F Vaclav Nestrasil (Blackhawks, 2025, 1-25)
F Adam Novotny (2026 draft-eligible)
F Tomas Poletin (Islanders, 2025, 4-106)
F Petr Sikora (Capitals, 2024, 6-178)
F Adam Titlbach (undrafted in 2024, 2025)
F Richard Zemlicka (undrafted in 2024, 2025)

D Vladimír Dravecký (2026 draft-eligible)
D Jakub Fibigr (Kraken, 2024, 7-202)
D Tomas Galvas (undrafted in 2024, 2025)
D Adam Jiříček (Blues, 2024, 1-16)
D Matyas Man (undrafted in 2024, 2025)
D Max Psenicka (Mammoth, 2025, 2-46)

G Matyas Marik (undrafted in 2024, 2025)
G Michal Orsulak (undrafted in 2025)
G Ondrej Stebetak (undrafted in 2025)

Most notably absent is Sabres prospect Radim Mrtka. The reigning No. 9 overall pick, who was jockeying for position as their No. 1 right-shot defenseman, sustained an injury in a pre-tournament game and won’t dress tonight. He’s not been ruled out for Saturday’s tilt against Denmark, but he’s a big loss against their toughest group-stage opponent.

Another notable name listed on the preliminary roster but not here is Blues 2024 third-rounder Adam Jecho. The 6’4″ center also left a pre-tournament game – this time with a hand injury – and will not be available after recording seven points in seven games last year in Czechia’s march to a bronze medal, their third straight year coming home with hardware.

The four open spots will be filled with Mrtka, undrafted center Samuel Drancak, Bruins fourth-rounder Vashek Blanár, and 2026 draft-eligible defenseman Jakub Vanecek as they become available or are needed.

Without Mrtka, Jiříček will be the Czech’s unquestioned top defender and minutes-eater. Rostered for the third straight year, the mobile puck-mover has exploded for 29 points and a +17 rating in 25 games for the OHL’s Brantford Bulldogs this season.

Offensively, they’re nearly at full strength aside from Jecho, who was ticketed to be a top-six piece. Instead, the headliners will be Nestrasil and Novotny, an 18-year-old winger who should be a top-20 pick – if not top 15 – next June with 35 points in 29 OHL games for the Peterborough Petes. The undersized Benák was left off the roster last year but enters the tournament tied for fifth in OHL scoring with 43 points in 26 games alongside Jiříček in Brantford.

The goaltending should be a bit of a competition. Marik is the oldest and carries by far the least impressive resume heading into this season, but has been spectacular in the Czech junior circuit, recording a .954 SV% in 20 games. Orsulak and Stebetak have faced much tougher competition in the WHL this year. Orsulak, with his .908 SV% in 16 games for Prince Albert, likely gets the nod.

NHL Players Who Can Veto Trades In 2025-26

By | at December 25, 2025 4:45 pm

Trade and movement protection is becoming increasingly common in the NHL. There are three forms. A no-movement clause, in addition to giving the player the right to veto any trade, allows them to block waiver placements and subsequent minor-league reassignments as well. No-trade clauses are the simplest, giving the player full veto power over a trade, but also the rarest.

The most common form of trade protection is the modified no-trade clause, which allows a player to submit a list of teams they can or can’t be traded to. An M-NTC can also include kicker dates that change the level of protection the player has. Most every team has at least one of these on their books.

To be eligible for an NMC, NTC, or M-NTC, the player must be at least 27 years old at the beginning of the league year or have accumulated seven years of service – in other words, the same requirements for unrestricted free agency.

With those criteria in mind, here are the players who must give their consent to some degree if their teams want to trade them during the 2025-26 league year. Players with M-NTCs have the amount of teams they can block a trade to in parentheses (with noted exceptions for rare ‘yes’ or approved trade lists).
