Josh Morrissey (upper body) could be ready to play by this weekend, Jets coach Scott Arniel said Monday. The defenseman was on the ice for a third straight day and will join them for the morning skate Tuesday in a noncontact jersey but will not play against the Chicago Blackhawks at Canada Life Centre in Winnipeg (8 p.m. ET; TSN3, CHSN). Morrissey was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 12, when he left Team Canada's 5-0 win against Team Czechia in the Group A opening game at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. "Today was a good day for him," Arniel said. "… Thursday (against the Tampa Bay Lightning) there's a chance, hoping Vancouver (on Saturday); if not, then we have two more days of off before next week. We need him, but I also don't want to lose him again. Just making sure that he's comfortable to be back out there and doing what he needs to do." ... Arniel also refuted a media report from Switzerland that cited the agent for Nino Niederreiter saying he's out for the season; the forward had surgery for a lower-body injury he played through for Team Switzerland at the Olympics. "Feels really good today when he was

The Minnesota Wild claimed forward Robby Fabbri off waivers from the St. Louis Blues on Monday.

Fabbri is a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a cap hit of $775,000 this season.

The 30-year-old has played in only 15 games this season, recording one goal and three assists. He has one goal and one assist over three games in the AHL with the Charlotte Checkers.

Fabbri has 107 goals and 113 assists over 457 career games with the Blues, Detroit Red Wings and Anaheim Ducks.

Oilers duo, Canucks' Brisebois clear waivers

Edmonton Oilers forward Andrew Mangiapane and defenceman Alec Regula both cleared waivers on Monday.

The two are now eligible to be assigned to the AHL, which would give the Oilers some cap relief.

Mangiapane has skated in 52 games with Edmonton this season, recording seven goals, 14 points, and a -19 plus/minus.

The 29-year-old signed a two-year, $7.2-million deal with the Oilers this past summer, with the cap hit and term through next season currently limiting his trade value.

The Oilers will receive $1.15 million, the bury relief limit, in cap space if Mangiapane is sent to the AHL, with the rest of his $3.6 million contract still counting against their cap.

For his career, the 5-foot-10, 183-pound forward has notched 130 goals and 257 points in 550 games with the Oilers, Calgary Flames (2017-24), and Washington Capitals (2024-25).

The 6-foot-4, 211-pound Regula has played in 29 games for the Oilers this season, registering three points while posting a -16 plus/minus and averaging 14:28 time on ice. He is signed through next season at a cap hit of $775,000.

With the Bakersfield Condors, the Oilers AHL affiliate, this season, the 25-year-old has three points in three games.

Regula was claimed off waivers by Edmonton from the Boston Bruins on Dec.11 2024.

Vancouver Canucks defenceman Guillaume Brisebois also cleared waivers on Monday and will be assigned to the American Hockey League.

The 28-year-old has not played in the NHL or AHL this season.

Over 30 career games in the NHL with the Canucks, Brisebois has one goal and two assists. He was selected by Vancouver in the third-round of the 2015 NHL Draft.

Brisebois is playing on a one-year, $775,000 contract.

{allcanada} Dabrowski’s reunion with Stefani pays off with doubles title in Dubai

Ottawa's Gabriela Dabrowski has her first WTA doubles title since reuniting with Brazil's Luisa Stefani.

Dabrowski and Stefani, seeded fifth, defeated the unseeded duo of Germany's Laura Siegemund and Russia's Vera Zvonareva 6-1, 6-3 in Saturday's final at the WTA 1000 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

The match lasted one hour and 13 minutes, with Dabrowski and Stefani winning 59.3 per cent of the total points. 

They converted their lone break-point chance and saved both they faced.

The title is their second WTA 1000 trophy together and first in four years. They also won the National Bank Open in Montreal in 2021, along with a WTA 250 event in Chennai, India, in 2022.

The pair first teamed in 2020 before Stefani suffered a serious knee injury at the 2021 U.S. Open.

They reunited this season after Dabrowski and New Zealand's Erin Routliffe ended a 2 1/2-year partnership in November that produced multiple titles, including two U.S. Open women's doubles crowns.

Dubai marks the sixth WTA 1000 doubles title of Dabrowski's career and fourth for Stefani. 

The result will move the 33-year-old Dabrowski to a career-high world No. 2 in the WTA Rankings on Monday, behind Belgium's Elise Mertens.

"Rankings, they come, they go — I'm more interested in just having a great partnership, and just going deep in tournaments consistently," said Dabrowski. "That's always been my goal. So I'm really happy to have achieved that. But a ranking doesn't occur on its own; it's about all the people who help you make it happen … so I couldn't have achieved that number without them."

The final lacked the drama of the earlier rounds.

Dabrowski and Stefani needed match tiebreaks in three of their four matches en route to the final and saved three match points in a 6-2, 4-6,14-12 quarterfinal win over Giuliana Olmos and Jessica Pegula. 

They then defeated Anna Danilina and Aleksandra Krunic 4-6, 6-2, 10-6 in the semifinals after losing to that pair in Doha earlier this month.

"I'm really happy to get our first title here in Dubai," said Stefani. "A WTA 1000 is not something you do every week, so I'm really happy with this win, and proud of our team."

Dabrowski, who revealed in 2024 that she had been treated for breast cancer, dedicated the victory to the father of a close friend who is battling cancer.

Riding a three-game losing streak, the Toronto Maple Leafs are shaking up their lineup.

Nick Robertson and Troy Stecher will both serve as healthy scratches on Monday against the Philadelphia Flyers, head coach Craig Berube told reporters.

"I have to make decisions on the lineup. I felt Nicky's game has dropped off, even before the break a little bit. He's going to get a reset today. Similar for Stecher," Berube said.

Returning to action in their places will be Steven Lorentz, who slotted on the fourth line next to Scott Laughton and Easton Cowan at morning skate, and Philippe Myers, who lined up next to Oliver Ekman-Larsson on the blue line.

Meanwhile, Auston Matthews and William Nylander were reunited on a top line alongside Bobby McMann.

Anthony Stolarz will start for the Maple Leafs after stopping all 12 shots he faced in relief of Joseph Woll during Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators.

The Maple Leafs have fallen well out of the playoff picture, sitting 13th in the conference and eight points out of a wild-card berth.

The Flyers are just two points clear of Toronto in 11th place.

Both teams look to be sellers ahead of the trade deadline on Friday at 3 p.m. ET.
