Kraken Activate Joey Daccord, Recall Mitchell Stephens

at CDT | by 2 Comments

The Seattle Kraken have activated starting goaltender Joey Daccord off of injured reserve. Daccord has missed Seattle’s last five games with an upper-body injury sustained in the team’s December 22nd matchup against Colorado. Seattle has also recalled forward Mitchell Stephens from, and assigned goaltender Ales Stezka and defenseman Cale Fleury to, the minor leagues in corresponding moves.

Daccord has stood as one of the best goalies in the league when healthy. He’s rivaled the top of multiple star categories – ranking 14th in both save percentage (.912) and goals-against-average (2.51). Daccord also ranked 13th in wins (12) and 14th in games played (23) at the time of his injury. He’s in the midst of another strong year after setting a 19-18-11 record and .916 Sv% in 50 games last season – Daccord’s first as a full-time starter in the NHL. He ascended to the role after years if string performances in the minor leagues, collectively recording a 60-27-7 record and .918 through 98 games, and four seasons, in the AHL.

Meanwhile, Stephens will return to his role as Seattle’s depth forward with Yanni Gourde on injured reserve. Stephens has been back and forth between the NHL and AHL lineup this season, most recently being assigned to the minors in mid-December. He’s scored four points in six games since, bringing his season total up to eight points in 18 games. He’s added one assist in nine NHL games. Stephens is likely to hang in the press box for the short-term, but could fight for fourth-line minutes above Tye Kartye.

Wild Activate Jacob Middleton, Assign Three

at CDT | by 1 Comment

The Minnesota Wild snuck one more transaction in before today’s roster deadline, activating defenseman Jacob Middleton off of long-term injured reserve just a few minutes before their freeze per Michael Russo of The Athletic. Middleton will return to the lineup in tonight’s matchup against St. Louis. In a corresponding move, the Wild have also reversed their roster call-ups from yesterday – assigning forwards Travis Boyd and Brendan Gaunce, and defenseman Carson Lambos, to the minor leagues.

Middleton has been out of the lineup since December 12th, when he sustained a hand injury in a match against the Edmonton Oilers. He was placed on long-term injured reserve one day later. His injury forced him out of Minnesota’s last 11 games. It was a noticeable absence for the Wild, who are also bearing with injuries to team captain Jared Spurgeon and superstar Kirill Kaprizov. Middleton has continued to serve as a big body on the Wild’s second pair. He scored five goals and 13 points in Minnesota’s first 29 games, putting him on pace to blow his career-high of 25 points out of the water. He’s also posted a +22 and 15 penalty minutes – both career-bests for the physical defenders.

Middleton is making good use of the final year of his three-year contract with the Wild. He’s surpassed 20 minutes of average ice time for the first time in his seven-year NHL career this season, and served as a crucial lineup piece as top defenders Spurgeon and Jonas Brodin recovered from injuries of their own. Middleton should benefit from Spurgeon’s absence once again upon returning, likely to challenge Brodin for the role of top left-defender next to Brock Faber.

The AHL’s Iowa Wild will get back three routine lineup pieces with this move, and they could stick with Minnesota finally getting injured players back. Boyd and Gaunce lead Iowa in scoring with 20 and 17 points in 22 games respectively. Lambos hasn’t found the same production, with just five points in 27 games, but should get a chance to earn a routine lineup role once more with Middleton back.

Jets’ Colin Miller Out Week-To-Week With Fractured Larynx

at CDT | by 1 Comment

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Colin Miller has suffered a fractured larynx and will miss at least two weeks of action, per Murat Ates of The Athletic. Miller left Winnipeg’s Saturday matchup against Detroit at the end of the first period, after getting hit in the neck by an Albert Johansson dump-in. He played just nine shifts and 5:27 of ice time in the match. A two-week absence will force Miller out of at least seven games, assuming he returns before the team’s January 22nd match against Colorado.

Miller has served as a depth defenders for the Jets this season, rotating into 34 of the team’s 41 games and averaging 14 minutes of ice time but routinely serving as a healthy scratch. He’s recorded eight points and 22 penalty minutes on the year. Miller’s 0.24 points-per-game ranks low on the Jets’ scoring leaderboard, but actually marks a slight bump in production compared to the 0.2 points-per-game that Miller averaged in each of the last three seasons. That boost is likely thanks to Miller finally finding some stability after playing for four teams between the 2021-22 and 2023-24 seasons.

The veteran defender signed a two-year, $3.7MM deal with the Dallas Stars in the summer of 2022, ending his three-year tenure with the Buffalo Sabres – the longest Miller has spent with one club in his 10-year career. He scored 21 points in 79 games with Dallas, and added one point in 10 postseason games, but the team chose to part with him after one year. Miller was traded to the New Jersey Devils on July 1st, 2023 – and then flipped to Winnipeg at the 2023-24 Trade Deadline. His production stalled through the series of moves and nagging injuries, but Miller seems to be finding his footing once again.

The Jets are likely to turn to Dylan Coghlan in Miller’s absence. Coghlan has served as Winnipeg’s extra defender, so far playing in just three NHL games and two AHL games this season.  He has one point – an AHL goal – between the five matchups. It’s Coghlan’s first year in the Jets’ organization after spending the last two seasons in Carolina, where he totaled three points in 18 NHL games.

Jets head coach Scott Arniel also told Ates that Dylan Samberg is very close to a return. Samberg suffered a broken foot on November 23rd. He was placed on injured reserve a day later, and hasn’t played since. He’s been productive when healthy, netting six points – split evenly – in 21 games this season. The Jets will need to clear a roster space to activate Samberg.

Senators’ Jacob Bernard-Docker Out Long-Term With High Ankle Sprain

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

Senators defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker will miss an extended period while recovering from a high ankle sprain, head coach Travis Green told TSN 1200 Ottawa on Tuesday.

Bernard-Docker, 24, sustained the injury in practice on Monday after taking an awkward spill into the boards. He immediately left the session for evaluation, and it was clear he would miss time when Ottawa recalled Max Guenette from AHL Belleville earlier today. Bernard-Docker is likely headed for IR to accommodate Guenette’s recall.

The Sens’ second of two first-round picks in 2018 after Brady Tkachuk, Bernard-Docker has established himself as a roster fixture but not much more than that. He’s made 25 appearances this season and spent a good bit of time in the press box, posting a goal and three assists for four points and a plus-two rating when healthy.

Bernard-Docker has averaged 13:06 of ice time per game, down from last season’s 15:42 mark and no longer receiving fringe penalty kill deployment. That’s despite the Alberta native putting up better possession metrics at even strength, controlling 50.6% of shot attempts.

His usual pairing with Tyler Kleven has been on the ice for 10 goals, second on the team behind the Thomas Chabot–Nick Jensen pairing’s 33, per MoneyPuck. When dressed, he’s been an effective third-pairing piece, one the Sens will miss for the next few weeks despite the limited minutes he’s vacating.

Recovery from a high ankle sprain usually lasts around six weeks, meaning JBD should be back in action in mid-to-late-February if all goes well.

Cody Ceci Interested In Extension With Sharks

at CDT | by 4 Comments

Pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Cody Ceci hopes to begin talks on a contract extension with the Sharks later this month, he told Curtis Pashelka of The Mercury News on Wednesday.

San Jose general manager Mike Grier acquired Ceci from the Oilers and a 2025 third-round pick in exchange for depth defender Ty Emberson in August. Ceci is in the final season of a four-year deal with a $3.25MM cap hit, which ended up being a tad too rich for incoming Edmonton GM Stan Bowman’s blood as he looked to retool the roster for another run to the Stanley Cup Final.

The trade has worked out reasonably well for both sides. The Oilers gained over $2MM in cap space and have gotten serviceable minutes out of Emberson, who has five assists and a minus-four rating in 37 appearances. San Jose gained a veteran presence who can log heavier minutes in Ceci, who’s averaging 22:02 per game this season – second on the team behind Jake Walman.

The 31-year-old Ceci has 11 points through 42 games, roughly in line with the offensive totals many have come to expect from the 2012 first-round pick. He leads the team with 73 blocked shots, but that’s also indicative of a lack of possession control. His 43.1 CF% at even-strength is fifth-worst among Sharks with at least 10 games played this season, and his -13.8 expected rating, while exaggerated slightly due to his heavy minutes, is the worst on the club.

That said, he’s been given difficult usage on one of the league’s thinnest blue lines. Ceci averages 18:43 per game just at even strength, leading second-place Mario Ferraro by more than a minute, and is the only Shark averaging more than three minutes per contest on the penalty kill.

All told, he’s putting up similar results to his numbers in a complementary role in Edmonton the past few years while receiving arguably the most challenging minutes of his 12-year NHL career. Whether there’s mutual interest in a commitment past this season remains to be seen. However, it would make sense for the Sharks to retain at least one of Ceci or Jan Rutta – both veteran pending UFAs – as short-term stop gaps until more defense prospects like Sam Dickinson and Shakir Mukhamadullin are ready for top-four minutes.

From Ceci’s point of view, he likely wouldn’t receive more playing time – or money – anywhere else. San Jose projects to have $37.9MM in cap space next season, assuming an upper limit increase to $92MM, with just seven roster spots to fill. He’d likely earn a bit of a premium, at least on his average annual value on a two- or three-year extension, compared to other destinations on the open market.

Islanders Recall Grant Hutton

at CDT | by 1 Comment

The Islanders recalled defenseman Grant Hutton from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. Winger Simon Holmström, who’s been out since Dec. 29 with an upper-body injury, was placed on injured reserve to open up a roster spot, Rosner adds. The team also moved defenseman Mike Reilly, who had been on IR since November after undergoing a heart procedure, to LTIR to give the Isles the necessary salary cap flexibility to add Hutton.

Hutton, 29, comes up to serve as an extra defenseman for the Islanders’ two-game Western Conference road trip. Rookie Isaiah George, who remains day-to-day with the upper-body injury he sustained last Thursday against the Maple Leafs, didn’t travel with the club, per Rosner.

Most of New York’s defensemen have spent time on IR this season, allowing players like Hutton to get some reps. The Indiana native played in 12 games in November and December, logging two assists and a plus-one rating while averaging 14:09 per game. The 6’4″, 214-lb righty controlled only 42.2% of shot attempts when he was on the ice at 5-on-5, but the stay-at-home defender was deployed as such and was primarily given defensive zone starts.

A pending unrestricted free agent, Hutton also has three assists and a plus-two rating in 15 appearances for Bridgeport. The former Miami University captain has spent his entire professional career in the Islanders organization, where he signed as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He’s now in his seventh season with the Baby Isles, amassing 89 points and a minus-six rating across 242 games.

He’s peaked as a replacement-level third-pairing piece, but getting so many professional games out of an undrafted pickup means the Islanders have gotten a good return on their investment. He’ll presumably sit as an extra defenseman on Thursday against the Golden Knights. It’s worth noting the Islanders are only carrying 12 healthy forwards on their road trip, though, so if one sustains an injury, he could draw into the lineup as a result of head coach Patrick Roy dressing 11 forwards and seven defenders.

Holmström, who’s already missed three games, can come off IR at any time upon their return home. He has nine goals and 22 points through 37 contests, on pace to shatter last year’s career-best 25 points in 75 games.

Oilers, Canucks Among Teams With Interest In Penguins’ Marcus Pettersson

at CDT | by 2 Comments

The Oilers and Canucks have demonstrated interest in acquiring defenseman Marcus Pettersson from the Penguins ahead of the March 7 trade deadline, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

At least on paper, Edmonton and Vancouver have much more precise needs for a right-shot defender than a lefty like Pettersson. He hasn’t logged significant time playing on his off side since his first NHL stint with the Ducks in the 2017-18 season, either.

That being said, both clubs need to add at least one defenseman – preferably one with historically strong possession impacts like Pettersson – to be in great shape heading into the postseason in Edmonton’s case and a passable shape in Vancouver’s case. There’s a far more apparent need for Pettersson in British Columbia than in Alberta, where he’d be competing for top-four minutes with Darnell Nurse and likely pushing Brett Kulak to the latter’s offside.

The Canucks would immediately have Pettersson slot in as their No. 2 left defender behind Quinn Hughes, giving them a much more competent and well-rounded top-four group once Filip Hronek returns to the lineup from his lower-body injury. Acquiring arguably the best pure defensive blue-liner that’s set to be available on deadline day, especially one who’s controlled over 50% of shot attempts when on the ice at even strength in all of his seven seasons with the Penguins, would be a significant boon to a Vancouver squad that’s only controlling 49.4% of shot attempts and 48.7% of scoring chances at 5-on-5.

Over in Edmonton, Nurse has proved that reports of his demise are only slightly exaggerated this season. He’s got 17 points through 36 games, up from last season’s pace, and has been one-half of Edmonton’s best shutdown pairing this season when deployed with Kulak on his right. That duo only allows 1.83 expected goals against per 60 minutes, seventh-best in the league among pairings with over 200 minutes together, per MoneyPuck.

Still, Pettersson’s raw shot attempts numbers this season (52.5 CF%) are better than Nurse’s (50.8 CF%) at even strength, as are his relative impacts on a much weaker possession team in Pittsburgh. Acquiring him would allow the Oilers to roll out the effective Nurse-Kulak duo against lesser competition in a third-pairing role while pairing Pettersson with one of Ty Emberson or Troy Stecher.

Yohe reports that more teams will undoubtedly call the Pens about Pettersson’s services, and a trade is a matter of when, not if. Even with Pittsburgh hanging around a playoff spot, the club “only has so many players without no-trade clauses” and is “almost certainly as good as gone” as a pending unrestricted free agent.

That leaves the question of which club is in a better position to take on his $4.025MM cap hit, although the Penguins still have a pair of retention slots open and would likely be willing to slash that cap hit to $2.01MM for additional assets since it’s an expiring deal. The Oilers can only swing if Evander Kane remains on long-term injured reserve for the remainder of the season; otherwise, they only have $1.02MM in projected deadline space, per PuckPedia. The Canucks are in a similar boat with Hronek on LTIR and only project to have $1.33MM in deadline space, although both clubs will up those numbers with some minor moves in the days leading up to March 7.

Rangers Place Chris Kreider On Injured Reserve

at CDT | by 6 Comments

11:30 a.m.: Rempe has officially been added back to the roster today, per a team announcement.

9:49 a.m.: The Rangers placed left-winger Chris Kreider on injured reserve Tuesday, reports Larry Brooks of the New York Post. The move is retroactive to his last appearance on Saturday against the Capitals. It rules him out for their next three contests with an upper-body injury, including tonight’s game against the Stars and Thursday’s rivalry matchup with the Devils. They now have an open roster spot, which, as Brooks notes, could go to winger Matt Rempe after he was sent down yesterday to make room for waiver claim Arthur Kaliyev.

As Colin Stephenson of Newsday points out, doing so would mean Rempe serves the final game of his eight-game suspension for elbowing Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen today. He would then be available to re-enter the lineup for the New Jersey game. 

Kreider’s upper-body issue may be recurring, partially explaining why the 6’3″ winger’s point production has fallen off a cliff this season. He also missed three games with a UBI in November.

It is unfortunate timing for the 33-year-old, who was on a season-high three-game point streak before exiting the lineup. After scoring the first goal of the game in a 7-4 loss to Washington, he sat out the following day’s 6-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Despite still seeing consistent top-six usage, Kreider has 15 points in 34 games this year – just 0.44 per game. That would be the lowest rate of his 13-year career aside from a 23-game trial in the 2012-13 campaign, his first taste of NHL regular-season hockey.

13 of those 15 points are goals, still putting him on pace for a strong 31 goals if he played a full 82 games. Still, that would check out as his worst total since the 2020-21 season, notwithstanding his paltry two helpers on the year.

Before his injury, Kreider’s struggling second line, including Mika Zibanejad and Reilly Smith, was beginning to turn things around. The latter two also have active three-game point streaks. According to MoneyPuck, the trio has now controlled 51.2% of expected goals on the year after sitting below 50% through most of the early going.

Even through his struggles and trade rumors this season, Kreider still ranks second on the Blueshirts in goals behind Artemi Panarin’s 16 in 37 games. Generating offense has been an issue overall for the Rangers, who are 21st in the league at 2.90 goals per game. That’s down sharply from last year’s 3.39 mark, which placed them seventh in the league amid a Presidents’ Trophy-winning season.

Kreider will be eligible to return on Jan. 14 against the Avalanche if his health allows.

Senators Recall Max Guenette

at CDT | by Leave a Comment

The Senators recalled defenseman Max Guenette from AHL Belleville on Tuesday, per a team announcement. The move indicates Jacob Bernard-Docker will be unavailable for tonight’s game against the Red Wings after sustaining a lower-body injury in Monday’s practice. Guenette puts Ottawa one over the active roster limit, so a corresponding transaction, likely an injured reserve placement of some kind, is still coming.

It’s Guenette’s first recall of the season but not the first of his career. The 23-year-old has logged eight appearances for the Sens since the 2022-23 campaign, posting a minus-two rating and eight shots on goal while averaging 13:10 of time on ice per game.

A seventh-round pick by Ottawa in 2019, Guenette has already given the Senators positive value on their selection just by beating the odds to appear in an NHL contest. The Sens have controlled 46.2% of shot attempts with Guenette on the ice at even strength in his limited minutes – not great, but not painting him as a humongous liability, either. He’s a fine replacement-level call-up at this stage of his career with more room still to grow.

Whether he’ll get the chance to show that ceiling on this call-up is uncertain, however. Ottawa also summoned Nikolas Matinpalo from Belleville yesterday, so even with Bernard-Docker out and Travis Hamonic heading to injured reserve, Guenette is likely to sit in the press box for tonight’s game unless another injury strikes.

Guenette, a Quebec native, has nine points and a team-high +16 rating in 27 games for Belleville this season. Emerging as their top shutdown option, Guenette also serves as an alternate captain for the B-Sens in what’s now his fourth season of professional hockey.

In terms of who may land on IR to make room for Guenette’s recall, Bernard-Docker and goaltender Linus Ullmark are the likely options. JBD’s placement will be contingent on the results of his post-injury evaluation, while Ullmark has already missed multiple games with a back strain and could be eligible for activation at any time.
