Luke Glendening - NHL News & Rumors

Nabs assist for new team Glendening posted an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

Impact Glendening was claimed off waivers from the Devils on Friday, and this was his second game with the Flyers. The 36-year-old will compete for fourth-line minutes, though it's a less crowded competition than there was in New Jersey. Glendening is not a factor in fantasy -- he has just five helpers with 32 shots on net, 72 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 54 contests this season.

Claimed off waivers Glendening was claimed off waivers by Philadelphia from New Jersey on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact Philadelphia dealt Bobby Brink to Minnesota on Friday in exchange for defenseman David Jiricek, so Glendening will replace some of the forward depth the Flyers lost in that trade. However, Glendening shouldn't be counted on to do much, if anything, offensively. The 36-year-old Glendening has four assists, four PIM, 66 hits and 45 blocks in 52 appearances in 2025-26. If Glendening plays for the Flyers, it will probably be as a member of the fourth line.

Designated for waivers Glendening was placed on waivers by the Devils on Thursday.

Impact By putting Glendening on waivers, the team will be able to move him down to the minors in the future, assuming he goes unclaimed. The Devils did the same with Evgenii Dadonov and Maxim Tsyplakov, which could be a sign they are finalizing a deal to bring a player or two in via trade. For his part, Glendening has featured in just four of the team's last 14 contests and has gone 11 games without generating a point.

No room in lineup Glendening has been a healthy scratch for the last six games after sitting out Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact There's no room for Glendening in the lineup, especially after Nick Bjugstad was acquired from the Blues on Feb. 4. Until an injury opens a spot, Glendening will likely remain in the press box. The 36-year-old has just four helpers with 30 shots on net, 66 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 52 appearances this season, so his time out of the lineup won't be noticed in fantasy.

Pockets helper in win Glendening notched an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Glendening ended a 28-game point drought by setting up another struggling player, Dougie Hamilton, for a second-period goal. Playing on the fourth line has done nothing to help Glendening's offense -- he has just four assists over 41 appearances this season. He's added 22 shots on net, 57 hits, 35 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. The 36-year-old's defensive nature and limited usage makes him a non-factor in fantasy.

Stuck in slump Glendening's point drought reached 15 games in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Stars.

Impact While none of the Devils had a particularly good game Wednesday, Glendening's gone over a month now without a point. That's to be expected for a player who sees mostly defensive usage in a fourth-line role. The 36-year-old has three assists, 16 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances this season. Glendening's place in the lineup should remain safe until Jack Hughes (finger) is healthy, which isn't expected to happen until early January.

Puts up assist Wednesday Glendening recorded an assist and five hits in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers in Game 5.

Impact Glendening managed two points, one shot on goal, 13 hits and five blocked shots over five playoff outings. The 36-year-old was limited to just seven points in 77 regular-season games, the third time in six years he's failed to log double-digit points. He's an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and it's unclear if he'll be back with the Lightning or if he'll continue his playing career at all at this stage.

Gets rare goal in Game 3 win Glendening scored a goal in Saturday's 5-1 win over Florida in Game 3. '

Impact Glendening isn't known for his offense, but it was a pretty snipe. He scored on a 2-on-1 off a pass from Yanni Gourde in the third period. It put the Bolts up 4-1. Glendening has 48 postseason games on his resume, but he hadn't put up a playoff point since 2022-23 when he skated with Dallas.

Could play Tuesday Glendening (upper body) is available for Game 1 against the Panthers on Tuesday, Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com reports.

Impact Glendening sat out the last four games of the regular season after getting hurt against Toronto on April 9. The Lightning ruled him out indefinitely April 11, so the 35-year-old seemingly made great strides in recovering from his injury. He'll be an option to center the fourth line Tuesday. Glendening has accounted for five goals, eight points and a minus-10 rating over 45 career postseason outings.

Tampa Bay Lightning Forward Out Indefinitely The Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that forward Luke Glendening will be out indefinitely due to an upper-body injury.

APRIL 11, 2025 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Ruled out indefinitely The Lightning announced Friday that Glendening has been ruled out indefinitely due to an upper-body injury.

Impact Glendening had already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Red Wings after sustaining an injury Wednesday against the Maple Leafs. It appears as though he'll face a multi-game absence to close out the regular season, and it's unclear whether he'll be available for the start of the playoffs. The Lightning have just four regular-season games remaining, concluding with a road game against the Rangers on Thursday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him held out for all four of those matchups.

While the exact nature and severity of the injury aren't yet known, he'll be forced to miss at least one game, and head coach Jon Cooper said Friday that Glendening might not play again during the regular season. Zemgus Girgensons is a candidate to enter the lineup in Glendening's absence.
