Dennis Gilbert News: Elevated from minors

Updated on March 9, 2026 at 10:59am

Gilbert was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday.

Gilbert's promotion to the NHL roster doesn't bode well for the availability of Jake Sanderson (upper body) for Monday's game versus Vancouver, especially with Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) recovering from an injury of his own. If Gilbert suits up Monday, it would be just his second NHL game of the year -- he logged 13:50 of ice time against the Rangers on Dec. 4.
