Carolina added some defensive depth early Wednesday morning as the team announced it has signed Riley Stillman to a one-year, two-way contract. The 26-year-old defenseman last played in the NHL in 2022-23 and has four goals and 26 points in 158 career games. He spent the entire 2023-24 season with the Rochester Americans (AHL) and had two goals and six points in 47 games played.
Stillman had missed the Sabres' previous game after acquiring an upper-body injury due to a fight vs. Tampa Bay on March 4th but is expected to be back in the lineup Thursday. The 25-year-old defenseman has five assists, 29 SOG, 30 PIMs and a -15 plus/minus through 34 games between Buffalo and Vancouver this season.
Stillman left the Sabres' previous game vs. Tampa Bay after 7:57 TOI due to an upper-body injury after a fight with Tanner Jeannot and will miss Monday's game vs. Edmonton. The 24-year-old has five assists, and a -15 plus/minus through 34 games played and is considered day-to-day for the time being.
Stillman was forced to leave Saturday's game after a fight with Tanner Jeannot and did not return. Given the nature of the injury, Stillman likely will not be available for Monday's game against the Oilers, so look for Kale Clague or Jacob Bryson to draw back in.
Stillman had five assists, 29 SOG, 23 PIMs and a -14 plus/minus through 32 games played with the Vancouver Canucks and has been traded to Buffalo for Josh Bloom.
Stillman will head to the press box for Vancouver as they take on Colorado Wednesday night. The 24-year-old has one assist and is a -7 plus/minus while playing bottom six minutes averaging 14:26 TOI.
Bruce Boudreau said Tuesday that Riley Stillman would be a game-time decision after missing the last four games due to an undisclosed injury. In five games since joining the Canucks he has zero points and five SOG while earning a -3 plus/minus rating.
Head coach Bruce Boudreau announced Monday that Stillman will miss the Canucks game against the Carolina Hurricanes. The defenseman has yet to get a point in his first five games after joining the Canucks in the offseason, collecting seven PIMs to go along with his -3 plus/minus on the season.
Stillman appeared in 52 games with the Blackhawks in 2022, scoring two goals with 10 assists (12 points), while delivering 122 hits and blocking 67 shots. Stillman is likely insurance for Tyler Myers, who suffered a lower-body injury this week.
Stillman was a healthy scratch in San Jose on Saturday but will replace Caleb Jones in the lineup on Monday. Stillman has scored just one goal with one assist (two points) in his last 23 games.
Stillman will be scratched with Calvin de Haan drawing back into the lineup against the Flames. Stillman has just one goal and one assist in his last 21 games.
Stillman was a healthy scratch vs. the Ducks on Tuesday but he will replace Caleb Jones on the blueline on Thursday. Stillman has scored one goal with nine assists (10 points) in 31 games this season.
Stillman missed 14 games with a shoulder injury but is set to play Thursday vs. the Blues. Stillman, who picked up 10 points (1G / 9A) in 28 games before getting hurt, will replace Erik Gustafsson on the Blackhawks' third pair.
Stillman has missed the last three games with a knee injury but will be a game-time decision in Washington. Stillman would replace Calvin de Haan (back) if he were to play.
Stillman suffered a left knee injury early in Sunday's win over the Canucks and his designation for IR means he'll miss at least the next three games. Wyatt Kalynuk was recalled from the AHL to take Stillman's spot on the roster in Calgary.
