• Called up again
    Phillips was called up from AHL Hershey on Wednesday.

    Advice: Phillips has five points over 31 contests between the Capitals and the Penguins at the NHL level this season. His recall suggests Sonny Milano (upper body) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:21 pm
  • Might be ready Thursday
    Joshua (upper body) could be an option versus Dallas on Thursday, telling reporters, "Yeah, possibly. I'm not sure yet. We'll talk about it and see how the morning goes," per Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650.

    Advice: At this point, Joshua should probably be considered a game-time decision heading into Thursday's tilt, though the fact that he skated in a second-line role Wednesday serves as a strong indication he's nearing a return. If he does suit up against the Stars, it would be the 27-year-old winger's first appearance since Feb. 13 versus Chicago, a game in which he racked up three points. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:01 pm
  • Suffers torn ACL
    Sundqvist is headed for surgery after sustaining a torn ACL in Monday's matchup with Vegas. He'll be reevaluated in six months.

    Advice: Sundqvist will be hard-pressed to be ready in time for the start of the 2024-25 season given the expected recovery timeframe. Prior to getting hurt, the 30-year-old center was bogged down in a 15-game pointless streak on top of a 24-game goal drought. Fortunately for Sundqvist, he signed a two-year contest extension with the Blues on March 7, otherwise he'd be heading into the free-agent market with this injury hanging over his head.

  • Contributes helper
    Zary posted an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Advice: The helper was Zary's first point in three games since he returned from an upper-body injury. He's been back in his usual spot alongside Nazem Kadri, so there's still potential for Zary to get his game on track late in the campaign. The 22-year-old rookie has 30 points, 71 shots on net and a plus-16 rating through 53 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 am
  • Adds helper in loss
    Kadri notched an assist and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Kadri had gone three games without a point before setting up MacKenzie Weegar's tally in the third period. The 33-year-old Kadri has had few slumps this season as one of the Flames' top forwards. He's produced 60 points, 234 shots on net, 54 hits, 39 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 71 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:52 am
  • Two more helpers in win
    McDavid notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

    Advice: The foundation of another lofty McDavid streak has been established, as the 27-year-old has a goal and 12 assists over his last five contests. Six of the helpers in that span have come on the power play. McDavid is up to 119 points (26 goals, 93 assists), 227 shots on net, 105 hits and a plus-28 rating through 68 games. No one has recorded a 100-assist season since Wayne Gretzky in 1990-91, but McDavid's well on his way to that mark. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:43 am
  • Gets on scoresheet with helper
    Cotter notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators.

    Advice: Cotter had been scratched for five of the previous six games, but he got into the lineup when William Carrier (upper body) couldn't play Tuesday. The helper snapped a five-game slump for Cotter. The 24-year-old forward has 23 points, 95 shots on net, 205 hits, 41 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 66 contests, but he doesn't have a guaranteed spot in the lineup when the Golden Knights are at or near full health up front.

  • Logs assist Tuesday
    Stephenson notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators.

    Advice: Stephenson has five points over his last six games, providing steady offense from a second-line role. The 29-year-old has come around after an inconsistent first half of the campaign. Overall, he's at 45 points, 93 shots on net and a minus-10 rating through 68 appearances while seeing ice time in all situations. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:31 am
  • Notches assist Tuesday
    Eichel recorded an assist, seven shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Predators.

    Advice: Eichel continues to cruise in March, as he's racked up 12 points and 59 shots on net over 11 contests this month. The center set up Ivan Barbashev's tally early in the first period Tuesday. Eichel has 24 goals, 32 helpers, 232 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 53 outings in a top-line role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:28 am
