NHL Player News

Travis Dermott's waiver by the Minnesota Wild marks a significant change in his current NHL status. After playing 19 games this season without any points, this move may affect his future opportunities in the league.

The Wild can now make roster adjustments as they seek to improve their performance. Dermott's departure opens up a spot for another player, possibly leading to a different dynamic on the team.

Alexandre Texier is battling an illness and is unlikely to play in the upcoming game against the Seattle Kraken. The recovery timeline remains uncertain, and the team will monitor his condition closely.

The St. Louis Blues have faced challenges this season, with Texier missing significant time. He has played 27 games, recording 4 goals and 5 assists, but his absence may affect the team's overall performance.

Lian Bichsel is currently sidelined due to a concussion, which affects the Dallas Stars' defensive lineup. This season, he has played 18 games, recording 2 goals and 3 assists, contributing a total of 5 points.

His absence may impact the team's performance, as he has shown capability in both offensive and defensive plays. Bichsel had a recent game against the New York Islanders where he logged 9 minutes and took 1 shot on goal.

Joel Eriksson Ek is currently sidelined with an undisclosed injury, which has led to his placement on the injured reserve list. This marks a challenging time for the Minnesota Wild as Eriksson Ek has contributed 24 points in 42 games this season, averaging 0.57 points per game.

His absence will impact the team's depth, especially after he recorded one assist in his last game against the Detroit Red Wings. The Wild will need to adjust their lineup to fill the gap left by Eriksson Ek's scoring and playmaking abilities as they prepare for their next matchup.

Trevor Moore played 15 minutes and recorded two goals in the game against the Vegas Golden Knights. He took four shots on goal and finished with two points.

In recent games, Moore did not score against the Utah Hockey Club and the Anaheim Ducks. Overall, he has played 46 games this season, totaling 10 goals and 15 assists for 25 points.

Timothy Liljegren's upper-body injury leaves him uncertain for the upcoming game against the Montreal Canadiens. His absence could impact the Sharks' defensive lineup, as he has played in 44 games this season with 4 goals and 5 assists.

The Sharks recently lost to the Winnipeg Jets, and losing Liljegren may hinder their ability to recover in the next matchup. With his contributions this season, the team will need to adjust their strategy to fill the gap on defense.

In the game against the Vegas Golden Knights, Quinton Byfield played 20 minutes and registered four assists. He had three shots on goal but did not score any goals during the match.

For the season, Byfield has played 55 games, scoring 11 goals and providing 22 assists for a total of 33 points. He has recorded at least one assist in 16 of those games and has three multi-assist games this season.

In the game against the Vegas Golden Knights, Warren Foegele played 15 minutes and took two shots on goal. He finished with one goal and one assist, totaling two points for the match.

During the game against the Utah Hockey Club prior to this, Foegele did not record any points, but he logged 17 minutes on the ice with one shot on goal. He also contributed one assist in the game against the Anaheim Ducks earlier in February, bringing his season total to 30 points so far.

In the game against the Vegas Golden Knights, Adrian Kempe played 20 minutes and took one shot on goal. He recorded two assists, contributing to a total of two points for the match.

This performance adds to Kempe's season totals, bringing his assist count to 23 and his points to 48 over 55 games played. He continues to show consistency, having recorded at least one assist in 19 games this season.

Macklin Celebrini played 20 minutes against the Winnipeg Jets, recording one assist and three shots on goal. This performance added to his season totals of 18 goals and 24 assists across 47 games played.
