Jaycob Megna - NHL News & Rumors

Waived Wednesday Megna was waived by Vegas on Wednesday, per Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Impact Megna had four goals, 11 points and 33 PIM in 64 regular-season appearances with AHL Henderson in 2025-26. He also is a veteran of 197 career NHL regular-season outings in which he's collected four goals, 27 points and 77 PIM. Megna is expected to begin 2026-27 in the minors if he clears waivers.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Called up from minors Megna was recalled from AHL Henderson on Thursday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Megna figures to be an emergency depth option for the Knights while Brayden McNabb serves his one-game suspension. In his four NHL outings this year, the 33-year-old blueliner recorded six hits, one block and a minus-5 rating.

MAY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to AHL Megna was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Friday.

Impact Megna has played four games with the Golden Knights this season, going minus-5 with six hits and one blocked shot. He had three goals and four assists in 27 AHL games before his recall. The Golden Knights are expected to add Rasmus Andersson to their defensive corps against the Maple Leafs, as his visa issues have been resolved after his trade from Calgary on Jan. 18.

JANUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from AHL Megna was recalled from AHL Henderson on Monday.

Impact This will be Megna's fourth stint with the big club this season -- he's played three games for the Golden Knights and 27 for the Silver Knights. Rasmus Andersson (not injury related) isn't available for Monday's matchup against the Flyers, which resulted in Megna being promoted from the minors. The 33-year-old Megna will probably head back to the AHL once Andersson is ready to play for Vegas.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Reassigned Thursday Megna was sent down to AHL Henderson on Thursday.

Impact The Golden Knights are swapping out Megna for Dylan Coghlan, who was called up in a corresponding move. Megna had a minus-5 rating, five hits and one blocked shot over three appearances during this stint with Vegas.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Promoted from minors Megna was summoned from AHL Henderson on Thursday.

Impact Megna has two goals and six points in 23 outings with Henderson this season. He might draw into Vegas' lineup Friday in St. Louis if Brayden McNabb (upper body) isn't able to play.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Monday Megna was assigned to AHL Henderson on Monday.

Impact Megna has had two brief stints with the Golden Knights this year, but he hasn't yet appeared in a game for the NHL club. He should see more consistent playing time in the minors, while Dylan Coghlan was called up Monday to provide additional depth for Vegas.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Brought up from minors Megna was summoned from AHL Henderson on Monday, Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Megna has two goals and three assists in 15 minor-league outings this season. He will provide Vegas with a depth defender and could travel with the team on its upcoming five-game road trip, which begins against New Jersey on Friday.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Heading to minors Megna was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Wednesday.

Impact Megna spent a week with the NHL club but didn't appear in any games during his stint with Vegas. He'll now head back to the minors, where he should see more consistent playing time. Over four AHL appearances this year, he's recorded an assist, six PIM and a plus-2 rating.

OCTOBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Called up Wednesday Megna was recalled from AHL Henderson on Wednesday.

Impact Megna was sent down by Vegas ahead of the regular season, but he'll rejoin the NHL club to provide additional depth after Noah Hanifin (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve. Megna has made four appearances for Henderson this year, logging an assist, six PIM and a plus-2 rating.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lands on waivers Megna was placed on waivers by the Golden Knights on Thursday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Impact Megna signed a two-year contract with Vegas in July, but he'll be left off the Golden Knights' Opening Night roster. He made just eight regular-season appearances for the Panthers last year, logging nine blocked shots, three hits and two PIM while averaging 16:06 of ice time. If he clears waivers, he'll presumably report to AHL Henderson.

OCTOBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs two-year deal Megna inked a two-year, $1.6 million contract with Vegas on Tuesday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

Impact Megna featured in just eight regular-season contests for the Panthers this past year in which he failed to register a point. At this point, the 32-year-old blueliner figures to be a depth piece for the club, and probably won't see significant minutes and could even spend time in the minors.

Recalled Wednesday Megna was summoned from AHL Charlotte on Wednesday, according to Alex Baumgartner of Five Reasons Sports.

Impact Megna has two goals, 16 points and 23 PIM in 64 outings with Charlotte in 2024-25. Tobias Bjornfot was sent to the minors in a corresponding move, while Aaron Ekblad (suspension) and Dmitry Kulikov (upper body) aren't expected to be an option Wednesday versus Toronto. That leaves Florida with six available defensemen, including Megna, so he should make his NHL season debut against the Maple Leafs.

APRIL 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

On waivers Megna was placed on waivers Thursday, per PuckPedia.

Impact Megna recorded two assists, 22 PIM, 60 hits and 87 blocks across 44 regular-season contests with Chicago in 2023-24. It's not surprising that the 31-year-old appears to have not made the Panthers' Opening Night roster, but if he clears waivers, Florida might still promote him during the campaign as an injury replacement. The 31-year-old is a veteran of 185 career NHL outings, collecting four goals, 27 points and 73 PIM.

OCTOBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Agrees to one-year deal Megna signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Friday.

Impact Megna had two assists, 22 PIM, 28 shots, 60 hits and 87 blocks in 44 appearances with Chicago in 2023-24. He'll enter the Panthers' training camp with a chance of making the team, but Florida's blue line is strong enough to likely result in Megna instead beginning the campaign in the AHL.

JULY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snags assist in debut Megna recorded an assist against the Rangers on Thursday.

Impact Megna was playing in his first NHL game of the season while also making his Blackhawks debut. The Florida native has only reached the 10-point threshold once in his career, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on him racking up a ton of points with Chicago.

JANUARY 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Claimed off waivers Megna was claimed off waivers from Seattle on Wednesday.

Impact Megna didn't get into a single game with the Kraken this season, but he had a goal in two contests with AHL Coachella Valley. During the 2022-23 campaign, Megna recorded a goal and 12 points in 54 outings between San Jose and Seattle. The 31-year-old defenseman might see work on Chicago's third pairing, but he'll probably spend most of his time with the Blackhawks serving as a healthy scratch.

JANUARY 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived for AHL demotion Megna was placed on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Coachella Valley.

Impact Megna had one goal in two AHL outings during a conditioning stint in early December. In 54 contests between the Sharks and Kraken during the 2022-23 campaign, he picked up 12 points, 56 shots on goal, 66 blocked shots and 86 hits. Megna hasn't seen any NHL action this season.

JANUARY 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back from conditioning loan Megna was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Coachella Valley on Sunday.

Impact Megna collected one goal in two games during his minor-league stint. He hasn't seen any playing time with the Kraken yet this season.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

On conditioning assignment Megna was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Thursday for a conditioning assignment.

Impact Megna hasn't played at all in 2023-24, so this move will allow him to shake off the rust. He had a goad, 12 points, 86 hits and 66 blocks in 54 contests between San Jose and Seattle last season.

DECEMBER 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Waiting for season debut Megna has been scratched for eight straight games to begin 2023-24.

Impact With the Kraken healthy on defense, there hasn't been a chance for Megna to step into the lineup yet. The 30-year-old is in a tough position, as he may not even be the next man up -- if the Kraken have enough warning time, they may choose to insert a call-up from AHL Coachella Valley over Megna when injuries arise.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting late-season look Megna had two hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Megna has made just six appearances with the Kraken, going minus-3 with 11 hits, three blocked shots and seven shots on net. Since the second-year team clinched its playoff spot last week, Megna has had a chance to play while other defensemen rest. It's expected he'll be a healthy scratch to start the playoffs, but he appears to be the next man up if injuries occur.
