JANUARY 21 • HOCKEYFEED.COM

Claimed off waivers Kolyachonok was claimed off waivers by Dallas from Boston on Wednesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Impact The Stars are getting Kolyachonok back after Boston claimed him off waivers Dec. 16. He has a goal, three points, four PIM, five hits and 13 blocks in 13 appearances between Dallas and Boston in 2025-26. As long as no team other than the Stars put in a waiver claim, they have the ability to send Kolyachonok to the minors because they're the original team that exposed him to waivers. However, Kolyachonok is on Dallas' active roster, per the NHL media site.

Claimed by Boston Kolyachonok was claimed off waivers by the Bruins on Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Kolyachonok was waived by Dallas on Monday, and the left-shot defenseman will link up with a new organization rather than joining AHL Texas. The 24-year-old will likely remain in the NHL, as Boston is currently dealing with multiple injuries on the blue line. However, he shouldn't be expected to be available for Tuesday's home matchup against Utah.

Waived by Dallas Kolyachonok was placed on waivers by the Stars on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Kolyachonok had been with Dallas since mid-November, and he recorded a goal, two assists, 10 blocked shots, five hits and four PIM while averaging 12:37 of ice time over 11 appearances with the NHL club. He'll head to AHL Texas if he goes unclaimed on waivers and should see a more consistent role in the minors.

Scores game-winner Kolyachonok scored the game-winning goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 victory over the Kraken.

Impact Kolyachonok's long-range shot found the net at 14:16 of the third period, and that stood as the decisive goal. The 24-year-old has picked up both of his points this season over the last two games while filling in on the third pairing. He's added five shots on net, two hits, a plus-1 rating and one blocked shot over five appearances. Kolyachonok's probably not going to put up enough offense to be an option in most fantasy managers.

Heading to Dallas Kolyachonok was traded to the Stars from the Penguins on Thursday in exchange for Matt Dumba and a 2028 second-round pick.

Impact Kolyachonok began the 2024-25 campaign with Utah and joined Pittsburgh after being waived in February. In total, he made 35 regular-season appearances between the two clubs, logging two goals, five assists, 31 blocked shots, 27 hits and 10 PIM while averaging 13:01 of ice time. He'll presumably have a chance to compete for an Opening Night roster spot with his new club during training camp, but he could have to spend some time in the minors.

The 23-year-old ended the campaign with seven points, 20 shots on net, 27 hits, 31 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-12 rating over 35 appearances between Pittsburgh and Utah. Kolyachonok has had trouble establishing himself in the NHL, but he should get a chance to prove himself in training camp next fall, considering the Penguins' blue line was a weak spot this season.
