Bellows was placed on waivers for assignment to AHL Milwaukee, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Bellows signed a two-way deal with Nashville after spending all of the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL. The 26-year-old Bellows last played in the NHL in 2022, when he scored three goals in 27 games with the Flyers. |

Bellows signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Predators on Wednesday. - Bellows had 27 goals and 49 points in 52 regular-season contests with AHL Toronto in 2023-24. The 26-year-old didn't play at the top level last year, but he does have 14 goals and 28 points across 95 career NHL games. |

Bellows was released from his professional tryout contract with Carolina on Friday. - Bellows had three goals, 32 shots and 48 hits in 28 contests between the Islanders and Philadelphia last season. He might still be able to secure a two-way contract with an NHL squad, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him start the campaign in the minors. |
None |
| Sept. 19, 2023 |
Bellows will participate in training camp with Carolina on a professional tryout agreement. - Bellows, who signed his PTO with the Hurricanes on Sept. 11, picked up three goals, 32 shots on net and 48 hits in 28 games between the Islanders and Flyers last season. He will battle for a depth spot on the roster during Carolina's camp. |

Bellows will not be qualified by the Flyers, Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News reports. - Bellows had three goals in 27 games with the Flyers after he was claimed off waivers from the Islanders early in the 2022-23 season. He's yet to take on more than a bottom-six role in his four NHL seasons, and he may have to settle for a two-way contract as an unrestricted free agent this summer. |

Bellows picked up a goal in Saturday's 3-0 win against the Red Wings. - The marker turned out to be the game-winning goal. Bellows has just three goals in 24 games for the Flyers this season. Despite two of his goals being generated in his last four contests, his ice time remains low. He's played less than eight minutes in eight of his past 10 games. |
None |
| March 12, 2023 |
Bellows scored his second goal of the season in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins. - The 24-year-old surprised Casey DeSmith with a quick snapshot from just inside the Pittsburgh blue line to tie the game at 1-1 midway through the first period, but the game was all Penguins after that. Bellows has bounced between AHL Lehigh Valley and the NHL roster since being claimed off waivers from the Islanders early in the season, and while he has only two goals and zero assists in 20 games for Philly, his 10 points in 12 AHL contests this season do offer a hint he might eventually develop into something more than a depth forward. |

Bellows was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Monday, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports. - Bellows cleared waivers Saturday but was called back up after the team placed Zack MacEwen (jaw) on injured reserve. The 24-year-old has just one goal in 15 NHL games this season. |
None |
| Feb. 10, 2023 |
Bellows was placed on waivers Friday, Greg Wyshynski of ESPN.com reports. - Bellows scored his first goal of the season Jan. 28, but it has been the only point of the season in 16 games for the 24-year-old. The Flyers claimed Bellows off waivers from the Islanders on Oct. 27 and was placed on waivers by Philadelphia on Dec. 1. If he passes through waivers, Bellows will head for Lehigh Valley of the AHL where he had three goals and nine points in 11 games before his recent callup. |
None |
| Jan. 5, 2023 |
Bellows was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Thursday. - Bellows has yet to register a point in the NHL this season despite logging 13 games for the Islanders and Flyers. With the Phantoms, the 24-year-old winger has been significantly more productive with nine points in 11 minor-league outings. With his call-up, Bellows could be in line to suit up versus Arizona on Thursday, perhaps knocking Zack MacEwan or Patrick Brown from the lineup. |
None |
| Dec. 17, 2022 |
Bellows was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley Saturday, per Adam Kimelman of NHL.com. - Bellows will rejoin the Flyers' lineup with Kevin Hayes scratched and Lukas Sedlak (personal) away from the team. The 24-year-old winger is scoreless through 12 NHL games this season. Bellows has three goals and four assists in five AHL contests. |
None |
| Oct. 27, 2022 |
Philadelphia claimed Bellows off waivers from the Islanders on Thursday, per TSN's Chris Johnston. - Bellows logged just 7:16 of ice time in a 3-1 loss to Florida on Oct. 13 and he hasn't played since. He didn't develop as the Islanders hoped, but he was taken with the No. 19 pick in the 2016 draft and he's still just 24, so there's some hope that a change of scenery will do him some good. At the least, this is an opportunity for him to play regularly, though he'll probably start in a bottom-six role. |
None |

Bellows was waived by the Islanders on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Bellows logged 7:16 of ice time in a 3-1 loss to Florida on Oct. 13, but he hasn't been in the lineup since. If he clears waivers, he should be sent to the AHL. |
None |
| Oct. 15, 2022 |
Bellows was a healthy scratch Saturday as the Islanders took on the Ducks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - It seems Bellows may have only played in the season opener on Thursday because Oliver Wahlstrom wasn't able to play. Wahlstrom is back in the lineup Saturday, which has relegated Bellows to the bench. Bellows will get a chance to play again but may need an injury or poor play from another forward to do so. |
None |
| Aug. 22, 2022 |
Bellows signed a one-year, $1.2 million contract with the Islanders on Monday. - Despite playing in just 45 games, Bellows still managed to establish new personal bests last year in goals (six), assists (13) and power-play points (four). While Bellows is unlikely to jump right into a top-six role, he should see an uptick in both games and minutes this season, which should set him up well to potentially top the 20-point mark for the first time in his three-year NHL career. |
None |
| April 15, 2022 |
Bellows logged an assist, six hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 3-0 win over the Canadiens. - Bellows missed time with an illness and as a healthy scratch to begin April, but he's now played in consecutive games. He helped out on Zach Parise's opening tally Friday. Bellows had gone 10 games without a point prior to this contest, and he's posted four goals, 10 assists, 62 shots on net, 84 hits and an even plus-minus rating in 37 outings. He'll likely be limited to bottom-six minutes if he can retain a regular role in the lineup. |
None |

Bellows (illness) will retake his place in the lineup against Pittsburgh on Thursday, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports. - Even prior to his illness, Bellow was a healthy scratch for five straight matchups, so his hold on a lineup spot should be considered tenuous at best. Even when he has played, the 23-year-old Minnesota native has struggled to produce as he is mired in a nine-game pointless steak. As such, fantasy players shouldn't be expecting much out of Bellows down the stretch. |
None |
| April 12, 2022 |
Bellows (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Penguins, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Bellows has often been a healthy scratch anyways, so this won't make much of a difference for fantasy managers. The 23-year-old will be out of the lineup for his sixth straight game Tuesday, though a return to practice or warmups down the line will indicate he's cleared his illness. |
None |
| March 24, 2022 |
Bellows is expected to draw into the lineup when the Islanders play the Red Wings on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Bellows will play on the fourth line with Casey Cizikas and Martin now that Cal Clutterbuck has been lost for the season due to shoulder surgery. Bellows has four goals and nine assists in 32 games this season for the Islanders, and those numbers may not change drastically playing on a checking line without any gifted offensive players. |
None |
| March 8, 2022 |
Bellows has failed to register a point in his last four games for the Islanders. - Bellows is getting another extended run of playing time for the Islanders as he has played in 10 straight games, but he only has one goal and three assists in those contests. Those numbers are less than ideal, but with the Islanders season all but over, it would still make sense for coach Barry Trotz to keep Bellows in the lineup to that the Islanders can finally see if there is a place in the organization for this former first-round pick or if they should move on from him during the offseason. |
None |
| Feb. 27, 2022 |
Bellows scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Ducks. - Bellows scored with 4:54 left in the contest. He's earned a goal and three assists in his last six games, which corresponds with him becoming a regular middle-six presence in the lineup. The 23-year-old winger is up to four goals, 13 points, 47 shots on net, 59 hits and a plus-3 rating through 26 outings. |
None |
| Feb. 25, 2022 |
Bellows notched an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks. - Bellows has responded well to an everyday role in the lineup, as he's picked up an assist in three of the last four games. The winger has added 12 shots on goal and 12 hits in that span, playing mainly in a middle-six capacity. Bellows has 12 points, 41 shots, 55 hits and a plus-3 rating in 24 contests overall, but he'll need to stay productive to avoid getting scratched in favor of Josh Bailey. |
None |
| Feb. 17, 2022 |
Bellows will likely be given a chance to be an everyday player once again for the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Coach Barry Trotz inserted Bellows into the game Thursday because Josh Bailey is out due to an upper-body injury. Trotz also stated that he believes Bellows is ready to take on a full-time role with the team. In the Islanders' 4-1 victory over the Bruins, Bellows had an assist, five shots on goals, and a plus-1 rating in just under 15 minutes of playing time. Bellows will next get a chance to deserve he belongs with the Islanders on Sunday when they take on the Canadiens. |
None |
| Feb. 10, 2022 |
Bellows was a healthy scratch once again as the Islanders defeated the Canucks 6-3 on Wednesday. - It wasn't a good sign for those that want to see Bellows play as Ross Johnston was started over him against the Canucks. Bellows only has three goals and six assists in 20 games for the Islanders this season, so it's not like he is forcing the hand of coach Barry Trotz. Right now, Trotz prefers the physicality of Johnston over the skill of Bellows. |
None |
| Jan. 29, 2022 |
Bellows could be the odd man out of the lineup now that the Islanders have a completely healthy forward group, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Coach Barry Trotz believes that Bellows is best served to play on the left side, which would eliminate him playing on a line with Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee, a position that has been wide open for most of the season. Trotz has been giving tryouts to just about every forward for that line. If Bellows can't play with Barzal, that likely leaves him competing with Kyle Palmieri for a role on the third line. It's also likely that Trotz will keep rotating this duo and possibly others until one gets hot and starts putting the biscuit in the basket, or one is just playing better than the other. |
None |

Bellows was playing on the top line with Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee in the Islanders 4-1 win over the Flyers on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Coach Barry Trotz stated after the victory that he didn't think Barzal and Bellows connected all that well playing together as neither player registered a point and only accounted for one SOG between them. The Islanders have a quick turnaround as they play the Flyers again Tuesday. Trotz may elect to separate Bellows and Barzal or decide not to break up a winning lineup. |
None |
| Dec. 30, 2021 |
Bellows scored a goal and a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Sabres. - Bellows hasn't been a mainstay in the Islanders' lineup, but he'll earn more playing time if he keeps scoring given the team's struggles offensively. The 2016 first-round pick has two goals and an assist in his last two games, and his seven points this season represent more than half of Bellows' career scoring output at the NHL level. |
None |
| Dec. 16, 2021 |
Bellows was a healthy scratch Thursday against the Bruins, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Bellows had played the previous six games and registered a goal and two assists. In total, Bellows only has a goal and three assists in 11 games this season. |
None |
| Dec. 8, 2021 |
Bellows scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Senators. - It's the first goal and first multi-point performance in eight games this season for Bellows, as the 23-year-old has had trouble staying in the lineup for a variety of reasons. He looked good Tuesday working with Austin Czarnik and Oliver Wahlstrom though, as the trio accounted for two goals and six points between them, so expect Barry Trotz to keep that line together as long as they're clicking. |
None |
| Dec. 2, 2021 |
Bellows (COVID-19 protocols) has been cleared of the NHL's protocols but won't be in action versus San Jose on Thursday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. - Bellows has been a frequent healthy scratch throughout the season, so he was far from a lock to play even if given the all-clear. Still, without the 23-year-old Minnesota native, the Isles will have their depth stretched, especially at forward as both Casey Cizikas (COVID-19 protocols) and Brock Nelson (lower body) remain unavailable. |
None |
| Nov. 21, 2021 |
Bellows was placed in COVID-19 protocol Sunday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports. - Bellows will miss Sunday's game against Toronto and possibly more until he clears protocols. The forward has recorded one assist and no goals in five games this season. |
None |
| Nov. 15, 2021 |
Bellows suited up for the first time in eight games in a 4-1 loss to the Lightning on Monday. - This game marked only the third time this season that Bellows was in the lineup. Coach Barry Trotz is trying to spark an offense that has been stagnant of late. Bellow played a little over 10 minutes and had one shot. If Casey Cizikas (illness) can play Tuesday versus the Panthers, Bellows could find himself back in the press box. |
