Date News Advice
April 18, 2026 Turcotte (undisclosed) has been cleared to play ahead of Sunday's road clash against the Avalanche, per Zach Dooley. - Turcotte missed eight consecutive games to close out the regular season, but will be available for the Kings' first-round playoff series opener. He was cleared for action Saturday alongside Jeff Malott and Andrei Kuzmenko, but it was noted that all three likely won't be in the lineup together. Across 62 regular-season games this season, Turcotte has three goals, 14 points, 67 shots on net, 51 hits and 33 blocked shots. The 25-year-old center's lineup placement ahead of Sunday will likely be hinted at through line rushes during the Kings' next two days of practices. None
April 16, 2026 Turcotte (undisclosed) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's clash in Calgary, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Turcotte will sit out his eighth straight game with the injury. He has three goals and 11 assists across 62 regular-season games this season. The 25-year-old was selected fifth overall in 2019 and with 13 goals and 30 assists over 162 regular-season games across parts of five seasons in the NHL, Turcotte has to be considered a disappointment. None
April 14, 2026 Turcotte (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Canucks, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports. - The Kings are using the same lineup as they did Monday when they won 5-3 over the Kraken to clinch a playoff spot. Turcotte will miss a seventh straight game, but he's reportedly close to being available, which suggests he could be an option at some point in the first round of the playoffs. None
April 13, 2026 Turcotte won't be in the lineup versus Seattle on Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - According to head coach D.J. Smith, Turcotte is close to getting back in the lineup and hasn't been officially ruled out versus Vancouver on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Illinois native has appeared in just 62 games this season in which he has garnered three goals and 11 helpers. Even once cleared to play, Turcotte is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could serve as a healthy scratch periodically. None
March 10, 2026 Turcotte logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets. - Turcotte's helper was his first point in seven games since he returned from an upper-body injury that sidelined him prior to the Olympic break. The 25-year-old had been playing center, but the Kings' trade for Scott Laughton has pushed Turcotte onto the third-line wing for now. Turcotte may be able to do more there, especially with a defensively reliable center on his line. For the season, Turcotte has 13 points, 64 shots on net, 42 hits, 28 blocked shots and 21 PIM across 56 outings. None
Feb. 25, 2026 Turcotte (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and will feature in Wednesday's matchup with Vegas, per NHL.com. - Turcotte returns to the lineup having missed just six games due to his upper-body injury. Despite recording 15 shots in his last eight appearances, the 24-year-old center has been unable to put one into the net. With Vegas missing several Olympic participants, Turcotte could have a decent chance of breaking out of his slump Wednesday. None
Jan. 31, 2026 Turcotte (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday - Turcotte has missed the last two games and is likely out of action until after the Olympic break, which ends Feb. 25. Turcotte had a goal and five assists in his last 11 games, giving the 24-year-old three goals and nine assists over 49 appearances this season. The Kings activated Anze Kopitar (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. None
Jan. 29, 2026 Turcotte (upper body) has returned to Los Angeles and has been ruled out for the rest of the road trip which concludes Sunday in Carolina, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Turcotte missed Tuesday's tilt in Detroit with the injury. The 24-year-old has three goals and 12 points with 29 hits and 25 blocked shots over 49 games this season. He could return as early as Wednesday versus Seattle, though the Kings could give him some extra time off as they are off from Feb. 6 to 24 due to the Olympic break. None
Jan. 27, 2026 Turcotte (upper body) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Detroit, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Turcotte will miss just his second game of the season Tuesday, though this time it's a result of an injury, as the 24-year-old was a healthy scratch on one occasion in late November. Turcotte is considered day-to-day due to his upper-body issue, and his next opportunity to suit up will be when the Kings continue their road trip Thursday in Buffalo. None
Jan. 26, 2026 Turcotte is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Monday. - Turcotte didn't practice with the Kings ahead of Monday's scheduled matchup against the Blue Jackets that was ultimately postponed due to severe winter weather in the Columbus area. While it's not yet clear whether Turcotte will be available for Tuesday's game against Detroit, Kenny Connors will be recalled from AHL Ontario since Turcotte and Joel Edmundson are both day-to-day due to upper-body issues. None
Jan. 8, 2026 Turcotte scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks. - Turcotte is finding a groove in a third-line role, earning four points over his last three games. The 24-year-old also saw a season-high 17:22 of ice time Wednesday since the Kings were missing four of their regular forwards. Turcotte is now at three goals, seven helpers, 41 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-4 rating over 41 appearances this season. None
Jan. 3, 2026 Turcotte notched an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Wild. - Turcotte ended an 11-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old has gotten a boost in ice time since the Kings traded Phillip Danault to the Canadiens prior to the holiday break. That has opened up a third-line role for Turcotte, who now has seven points, 37 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 17 PIM, 16 hits and a minus-7 rating over 39 appearances. While the third-line job is his for now, he'll need to do more with it than he has recently to avoid potentially losing the spot if the Kings go shopping ahead of the trade deadline. None
Dec. 6, 2025 Turcotte scored a goal on three shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged two hits in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blackhawks. - Turcotte earned his first multi-point effort of the season and has three points over his last five games. He'll often struggle to impact the game from a fourth-line role, but he's done enough lately to fend off Samuel Helenius and Jeff Malott for the last spot in the lineup. Turcotte is at two goals, six points, 22 shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight hits, 15 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 27 appearances. None
Nov. 29, 2025 Turcotte scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks. - Turcotte was scratched Monday versus the Senators, and it may have sparked his play. The 24-year-old snapped his 11-game point drought upon his return to the lineup, and he earned 13:27 of ice time. The Kings have struggled to get much out of their centers this year, with Turcotte and Phillip Danault in particular struggling. Turcotte is at one goal, three assists, 19 shots on net, 13 PIM and a minus-3 rating while primarily playing on the fourth line through 23 appearances. None
Nov. 25, 2025 Turcotte was a healthy scratch in Monday's 2-1 win over the Senators. - Turcotte entered Monday on an 11-game point drought and didn't receive the chance to end the slump. His ice time has been trending down -- he saw just 5:33 in Friday's game against Boston. While Turcotte hasn't been able to make the most of limited minutes this season, his replacement Monday, Samuel Helenius, logged just 3:25 of ice time. That could lead to an open competition for the last forward spot in the lineup until one of those two players impresses head coach Jim Hiller. None
Oct. 8, 2025 Turcotte provided an assist and five PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights. - Turcotte's penalty was a major for boarding in the second period that led to two goals for the Golden Knights. Aside from that, the 24-year-old looked effective in a fourth-line role. He's averaging just 7:09 of ice time per game through two contests, adding one shot on net, two blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating. He'll need to continue being impressive in a limited role to keep Samuel Helenius in the press box, though Turcotte also has enough scoring upside to move up the lineup when injuries occur. None
April 15, 2025 Turcotte scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and logged three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken. - With Anze Kopitar resting and Quinton Byfield (upper body) out, Turcotte received a bump up to the top line at even strength. The 24-year-old Turcotte made the most of that move, as he and Adrian Kempe assisted on each other's goals. This was Turcotte's third game back from an upper-body injury. The forward is now at nine goals, 25 points, 77 shots on net, 44 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 appearances. None
April 12, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) is ready to return for Saturday's game against Colorado, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Turcotte was last in the lineup March 23. He has eight goals, 23 points, 38 hits and 27 blocks in 64 outings in 2024-25. Jeff Malott might be a healthy scratch versus the Avalanche as a result of Turcotte's return. None
April 10, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Ducks, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports. - Although the 24-year-old will miss a ninth consecutive game Thursday, head coach Jim Hiller said after the team's morning skate that Turcotte is "very close" to returning to action. As a result, it seems possible that he'll be in the mix to return against Colorado on Saturday. Turcotte has made 64 appearances this year, logging eight goals, 15 assists, 38 hits, 27 blocked shots and 20 PIM while averaging 11:46 of ice time. None
April 6, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) returned to the ice for practice Sunday, but he remains without a timetable to return to game action, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - While head coach Jim Hiller said that it was "progress" to see Turcotte on the ice for practice Sunday, Hiller said that he "won't expect him anytime soon." The Kings appear to be on track for a playoff berth, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the team exercise caution with Turcotte over the final week and a half of the regular season. However, if he's able to appear in at least some games before the postseason, it could help him regain his conditioning. None
April 5, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) is unlikely to play in Saturday's home matchup with the Oilers, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - It'll be the seventh straight game Turcotte's missed as he continues to nurse an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old forward has eight goals and 23 points in a career-high 64 games this season. Turcotte's next chance to suit up will come Monday when the Kings host Seattle. None
April 2, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) will not travel with the team for Thursday's clash with Utah, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports. - Turcotte has already missed the Kings' last five games due to his upper-body issue and will now be sidelined for at least one more. It's been a decent campaign for the 24-year-old center, having generated eight goals, 15 assists and 75 shots in 64 appearances for the Kings this year. Samuel Helenius figures to remain in the lineup while Turcotte is on the shelf. None
April 1, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) will not be an option for Tuesday's home matchup versus Winnipeg, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Turcotte will sit out his fifth consecutive game, and it's not clear if he's close to a return to the lineup. Tanner Jeannot (undisclosed) is also out Tuesday and Alex Lafferiere (illness) is a game-time decision, so the Kings may have to utilize 11 forwards and seven blueliners again. None
March 30, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) will remain sidelined against the Sharks on Sunday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Turcotte will miss his fourth consecutive game, with his next chance to return to the lineup coming Tuesday versus the Jets. The left-shot forward has produced eight goals, 15 assists and a plus-8 rating over 64 appearances in 2024-25. None
March 29, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) won't play in Saturday's clash against Toronto, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - It will be the Kings' third consecutive game without Turcotte. The 24-year-old has eight goals and 23 points in 64 outings in 2024-25. Turcotte's likely to serve in a bottom-six capacity when he's ready to return. None
March 27, 2025 Turcotte (upper body) didn't travel to Colorado, so he won't be an option Thursday versus the Avalanche, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Turcotte is set to miss his second straight game. He has eight goals and 23 points in 64 appearances in 2024-25. Turcotte is regarded as day-to-day, so he might still be an option for Saturday's home clash against Toronto. None
March 25, 2025 Turcotte will be out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers due to an upper-body injury. - Turcotte has two points over his last three games, but it appears he's suffered an injury that will cost him at least one contest. Trevor Moore (upper body) was on the ice for warmups and looks set to return to the lineup on the second line, while Trevor Lewis will stay in on the fourth line to cover Turcotte's absence. None
March 21, 2025 Turcotte scored a goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks. - Turcotte doubled the Kings' lead 59 seconds after Trevor Moore's opener with a tip-in. This was his eighth goal of the campaign, but it was also the first time he found the back of the net since tallying two goals in a 5-1 win over the Canucks back on Jan. 16. Turcotte is having a career-best season in 2024-25, as he has racked up 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 62 appearances after being limited to just 32 games in his first three years in the league. That said, he's not much of a fantasy option outside of leagues that reward physicality, and even in those contexts, he'd only be a realistic alternative as a streaming option in deep formats. None
March 4, 2025 Turcotte held a minus-2 rating but picked up an assist on the team's only goal during a 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Monday. - After Monday's game, Turcotte has now recorded just two points in his last 17 contests. However, he's playing on Los Angeles' top line alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe, and he does have 21 points on the season. Turcotte might rebound offensively if he continues to get top-line minutes. None
Feb. 5, 2025 Turcotte notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens. - Turcotte had a three-point effort versus the Canucks on Jan. 16, but he followed it up with an eight-game slump. That drought ended when he helped out on Brandt Clarke's third-period tally. Turcotte remains in a top-line role on paper, but his ice time is often in line with that of a fourth-liner. He has 20 points, 56 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 46 appearances in his first full NHL campaign, but his usage makes him risky for fantasy managers at this point in his career. None
Jan. 16, 2025 Turcotte scored twice on four shots and dished an assist in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks. - Turcotte tallied the first two goals of the game and set up an Adrian Kempe goal before the first period was halfway done. That was more than enough for the Kings to come away with the win. Turcotte has three goals and three assists over his last seven outings, and he's now at seven tallies, 12 helpers, 46 shots on net and a plus-15 rating through 37 appearances. He's firmly in the Kings' top nine, which comes with good opportunities as the team sticks with an 11-forward, seven-defensemen alignment. None
Jan. 10, 2025 Turcotte scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets. - Turcotte tallied at 4:39 of the second period, ended his seven-game goal drought. In that span, he racked up three assists. The 23-year-old continues to see even-strength minutes on the top line, but he hasn't elevated his offense to be in line with that assignment, and his ice time remains more like that of a middle-six forward. Turcotte has five goals, 11 helpers, 37 shots on net and a plus-12 rating through 34 appearances. None
Jan. 4, 2025 Turcotte notched an assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Lightning. - Turcotte threaded a pass to Adrian Kempe for the game-winning goal in the third period. The Kings' usage of seven-defensemen lineups has allowed Turcotte to get some key even-strength minutes with big-name players. The 23-year-old has responded with seven points and 14 shots on net over his last 11 outings. For the season, he's at 15 points, 34 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 33 appearances. None
Dec. 29, 2024 Turcotte notched an assist in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Flyers. - Turcotte ended a three-game slump when he assisted on an Adrian Kempe tally in the first period. The 23-year-old Turcotte is seeing time on the first line at even strength, but his overall role remains somewhat limited. He's produced 14 points, 32 shots on net, 14 hits and a plus-11 rating through 31 appearances this season. None
Dec. 18, 2024 Turcotte scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins. - Turcotte has earned four points over his last four games. He's seen a boost in ice time over the last two contests while Trevor Moore (upper body) has been out -- it's been Turcotte filling in on the top line alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. For the season, Turcotte has 12 points, 28 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 26 appearances, showing a little of the promise that made him the fifth overall pick in 2019. None
Dec. 14, 2024 Turcotte generated one goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-1 win against the Rangers. - Turcotte made the most of his opportunity to play on the top line due to the absence of Trevor Moore (upper body). The 23-year-old Turcotte had one assist in five outings while averaging 10:47 of ice time from Nov. 30-Dec. 12 before logging 17:07 of action in Saturday's matchup. He has three goals and 11 points in 25 appearances this campaign. None
Dec. 11, 2024 Turcotte notched an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Islanders. - Turcotte has four points over his last eight outings. The Kings have been using seven defensemen and 11 forwards, but with Turcotte as a fourth-line option, he's had to rotate in rather that having steady shifts lately. The 23-year-old is at nine points, 23 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-9 rating through 23 appearances, and he remains part of the second power-play unit despite not having a point in that situation in 2024-25. None
Nov. 29, 2024 Turcotte scored Friday in a 2-1 win over Anaheim. - He scored short side off a pass from Alex Laferriere in the second period to knot the game 1-1. Turcotte is having a solid season, with two goals, six assists, 20 shots and a plus-11 rating in 19 games. He may never live up to his 5th overall draft position (2019), but Turcotte may still develop into a solid a middle-six scorer. None
Nov. 27, 2024 Turcotte notched an assist, two hits and four PIM in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Jets. - Turcotte has two helpers over five games since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him five contests. The 23-year-old forward has floated around the lineup this season, though his ice time has rarely been above 15 minutes. He's produced seven points, 18 shots on net, seven hits, five blocked shots, four PIM and a plus-10 rating over 18 appearances. Turcotte doesn't add a lot of non-scoring production, but there's enough depth offense here -- especially given his spot on the power play -- that he may be worth consideration in deep fantasy formats. None
Nov. 16, 2024 Turcotte (upper body) is off injured reserve Saturday. - Turcotte, who has missed LA's past five games, wasn't expected to play Saturday versus Detroit, but it seems he's good to face the Red Wings after all. He has a goal and five points in 13 appearances in 2024-25. Andre Lee was reassigned to AHL Ontario in a corresponding move. None
Nov. 15, 2024 Head coach Jim Hiller said Friday that Turcotte (upper body) is "getting closer" to returning but will likely remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Red Wings, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Hiller specified that there's a "chance" Turcotte returns against Detroit but said that he leaned toward the 23-year-old missing another game. Turcotte has missed the last five games due to his upper-body injury, and if he's ultimately ruled out against Detroit, his next chance to return would be Wednesday against the Sabres. None
Nov. 9, 2024 Turcotte (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. - Turcotte has missed the last two contests and will sit out Saturday's home game versus Columbus. The 23-year-old is getting his first extended time in the NHL and had a goal and five points in 13 games before the injury. Samuel Helenius was recalled from AHL Ontario to take Turcotte's spot on the roster. None
Nov. 7, 2024 Turcotte (upper body) will miss Thursday's game against Vancouver, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site. - Turcotte's injury was previously listed as undisclosed but is now classified as upper body. It's also been specified that Turcotte doesn't have a head injury. This will be his second straight game on the shelf, but Turcotte is day-to-day, so perhaps he'll be an option Saturday versus Columbus. The 23-year-old has a goal and five points in 13 appearances in 2024-25 while averaging 11:52 of ice time. None
Nov. 5, 2024 Turcotte (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus Minnesota, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports. - Turcotte left Monday's 3-0 win over Nashville in the second period and did not return after taking a hit from Jeremy Lauzon. The 23-year-old Turcotte has one goal and four assists in 13 outings this season. He will be replaced in Tuesday's lineup by Andre Lee. None
Nov. 3, 2024 Turcotte notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks. - Turcotte has been on the top line at even strength in recent games, but his helper Saturday was his first since Oct. 20. The 23-year-old's slump has cost him a power-play role. He's at five points, 14 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 12 contests. Turcotte is good enough to stay in the lineup, but his role is likely to be limited regardless of which line he's listed on. None
Oct. 20, 2024 Turcotte logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks. - Turcotte extended his point streak to four games (one goal, three assists) when he set up a Mikey Anderson empty-netter in the final minute. The surge of offense has helped Turcotte claim a third-line role after he opened the season with limited minutes on the fourth line. He's added five shots on net, a plus-4 rating and one hit across six contests, while his four points match his output from 20 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. None
Oct. 17, 2024 Turcotte scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs. - Turcotte scored the Kings' first goal just 2:42 into the third period, but his goal wasn't enough to spark a late comeback. Turcotte has points in back-to-back games and will aim to continue that streak against the Canadiens on Thursday, though his chances of contributing offensively on a regular basis might not be too high given his role as a bottom-six forward. None
June 22, 2024 Turcotte signed a three-year, $2.325 million contract with the Kings on Saturday. - It will be a two-way deal for Turcotte in Year 1 before shifting to a one-way agreement in Years 2 and 3. The 23-year-old forward produced 10 goals and 29 points in 35 regular-season contests with AHL Ontario in 2023-24. He also notched one goal and three helpers in 20 regular-season outings with the Kings last campaign. Turcotte will compete for a bottom-six role with LA out of training camp in the fall. None
April 19, 2024 Turcotte was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday. - Turcotte had a goal and four points in 20 regular-season contests with LA in 2023-24. He's also supplied seven goals and 25 points across 33 appearances with Ontario. None

He will be available to return from a 13-game absence in the Kings' regular-season finale against Chicago on Thursday. Turcotte has one goal and four points in 20 NHL appearances this campaign. None
April 10, 2024 Turcotte (upper body) was assigned to AHL Ontario on an LTI conditioning loan Wednesday. - The Kings will be able to use Turcotte's time in the minors to determine if he's fit to play. If it's deemed he's still not ready to return to action during his time with AHL Ontario, Turcotte will be recalled by the big club and remain on long-term injured reserve. He's picked up four points through 20 top-level appearances this year. None
March 31, 2024 Turcotte (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Sunday. - In a corresponding move, Akil Thomas was recalled from AHL Ontario. Turcotte won't be eligible to return until at least April 13 against Anaheim following his placement on LTIR. He has missed the past five games after getting hurt in a 6-2 win over Chicago on March 19. Turcotte has one goal, three assists, 14 shots on net and 10 blocked shots in 20 NHL outings this season. None
March 23, 2024 Turcotte (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Tampa and is unlikely to travel with the Kings for their upcoming four-game road trip, which will begin Monday in Vancouver, per Noah Sher of Mayor's Manor. - Turcotte has a goal, four points, six PIM, seven hits and 10 blocks in 20 contests with the Kings in 2023-24. When Turcotte recovers, he will likely resume serving in a fourth-line role. None
March 20, 2024 Turcotte suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 6-2 win against Chicago, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports. - Turcotte managed just 7:14 of ice time before leaving the game in the third period due to his upper-body issue. The 23-year-old center is currently mired in an 18-game goal drought during which he registered just two assists and a meager 12 shots. If Turcotte were to miss any time, Arthur Kaliyev could finally make his way back into the lineup. None
March 8, 2024 Turcotte was assigned to AHL Ontario on Friday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports. - This is almost certainly a paper move to make Turcotte eligible for the AHL playoffs, so look for him to be back with the Kings prior to Saturday's game versus the Stars. He's picked up three points through 14 NHL appearances this year. None
Feb. 20, 2024 Turcotte registered an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets. - Turcotte snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old has been playing as the fourth-line center, a role that's often kept him under 10 minutes of ice time per game. He's picked up three points, six shots on net and a plus-4 rating through eight outings this season, but he's likely best left on the waiver wire in fantasy until he can work his way into the middle six. None
Feb. 8, 2024 Turcotte was recalled from AHL Ontario on Thursday, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio. - Turcotte scored his first career NHL goal Jan. 31 and chipped in with an assist in a 4-2 win over Nashville.
