Chicago Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks have recalled 2025 third overall pick Anton Frondell from Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Hockey League ahead of Tuesday’s game against the New York Islanders, the team announced.

Frondell, 18, inked a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blackhawks over the summer following the draft, and now comes over to North America following 43 appearances as a rookie for Djurgårdens this year.

The left-shot forward recorded 20 goals and eight assists in his first season of Sweden’s top-flight league, becoming just the fourth player in SweHL history to reach the 20-goal mark in his age-18 season. He also helped his country to gold at the World Juniors in January, where he finished as the team’s leading goal scorer.

It is currently unclear whether Frondell will make his NHL debut on Tuesday, but he is expected to appear at some point over the team’s four-game road trip running through March 29.

Chicago is currently in last place in the Central Division, holding a record of 26-31-13 for 65 points on 70 games played.

Ottawa Senators

The Ottawa Senators have called up Carter Yakemchuk and Jorian Donovan from Belleville (AHL) ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the Detroit Red Wings.

The news comes after blueliners Thomas Chabot and Lassi Thomson both left Monday night’s game against the New York Rangers with injuries.

Chabot appeared to sustain a right wrist/arm injury, while Thomson appeared to suffer a lower-body injury after he left the ice limping and favouring his left leg.

Ottawa played with just four defencemen for over 30 minutes in Monday’s contest, and head coach Travis Green later said both blueliners would “be out a while”.

Yakemchuk and Donovan could both make their NHL debuts Tuesday to fill the void on the Senators’ injury-ridden blueline for an important clash against Detroit.

Yakemchuk has 10 goals and 36 points in 50 games this season in Belleville and was named the AHL’s Player of the Week last Friday. He was selected seventh overall in the 2024 draft.

Donovan has four goals and 21 points in 58 games this season. The 2022 fifth-round pick could be form the fist father-son combo to both play for the Senators with his father Shean having also played for the team.

The Senators have played to a 37-24-9 record this season and are two points out from the final final-card spot in the Eastern Confernence

Pittsburgh Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin will not play Tuesday night against the Colorado Avalanche and is considered day-to-day with a hand injury.

Malkin, 39, logged 16:05 of ice time in Sunday’s 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes, finishing without a point for the first time in four games since returning from a slashing suspension.

The Magnitogorsk, Russia native has scored 15 goals with 37 assists in 50 games played this season as he approaches unrestricted free agency on July 1.

Malkin has played his entire 20-year career with the Penguins, winning three Stanley Cups, two Art Ross Trophies, the 2006-07 Calder, and the 2009 Conn Smythe.

Pittsburgh called up forward Ville Koivunen for Tuesday’s game with Malkin sidelined.

Koivunen, 22, heads back to the Penguins after being reassigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL) on Sunday. He served as a healthy scratch in back-to-back games following Sidney Crosby’s return from a knee injury suffered at the Olympics.

The Oulu, Finland native has scored two goals with five assists in 33 games with the Penguins this season, his second year in the NHL.

Originally selected in the second round by the Hurricanes, Koivunen was traded to Pittsburgh as part of the return for Jake Guentzel in 2024.

In 41 career games, Koivunen has two goals and 14 points while playing an average of 13:42 per contest.

Gregor, 27, has made 24 appearances for the Panthers this season, recording one goal and two assists.

The Beaumont, Alta. native has not played for Florida since being placed on waivers on Jan. 9, and has since played in 25 games with the Checkers, where he has 11 goals and six assists for 17 points.

A fourth-round pick of San Jose in 2016, Gregor has scored 37 goals and 36 assists in 317 career games split between the Sharks, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, and Panthers.

Florida plays host to the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday to kick off a two-game homestand, where Sergei Bobrovsky will get the start.
