Roslovic (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Rangers, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

Roslovic was considered a game-time decision after missing Monday's practice. He hasn't made enough progress in getting healthy to suit up, so expect the Hurricanes to dress Riley Stillman as a seventh defenseman to cover Roslovic's absence. His next chance to play is Thursday versus the Blackhawks.

Kozak was recalled from AHL Rochester on Tuesday, Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald reports.

Kozak will take a roster spot from Nicolas Aube-Kubel, who was waived Monday and sent to AHL Rochester on Tuesday. Kozak has scored a goal on five shots across nine appearances with Buffalo this season. Kozak will look to draw into the lineup when the Sabres host the Bruins on Tuesday.

Hayden provided an assist, three shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

Hayden has two points over his last three contests while filling a fourth-line role. The 29-year-old is challenging Tye Kartye for the last spot in the lineup, and it's a battle Hayden has largely been winning over the second half of January. For the season, Hayden's at two points, six shots on net, 19 hits and a plus-1 rating through seven appearances. By the end of the month, Hayden will likely have accrued 30 days on the NHL roster, and he would require waivers to return to AHL Coachella Valley if he loses his place once Yanni Gourde (lower body) comes off injured reserve.

Brisson is not currently on the Golden Knights' roster, per the NHL media site Tuesday.

Brisson is pointless in his nine NHL games this year while registering seven shots, nine hits and a minus-3 rating while averaging 9:52 of ice time. With Brisson down in the minors, the Knights brought up Raphael Lavoie, who is expected to be on the roster for Tuesday's clash with Dallas.

Laczynski has been demoted to AHL Henderson, per the NHL media site Tuesday.

Laczynski was a healthy scratch against the Panthers on Sunday and wasn't on the ice for Tuesday's practice after being shipped down to the minors. In his eight NHL appearances this year, the 27-year-old forward has notched one goal, two shots and three hits while averaging 8:36 of ice time.

Brown notched an assist and two PIM in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kraken.

Coincidentally, Brown's last point was also a helper versus the Kraken on Jan. 4. The 31-year-old didn't get on the scoresheet over 10 contests between meetings with the Oilers' division rival. Brown is now at 20 points through 50 outings, but just two of those points have come in January. He's added 73 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating while mainly playing in a middle-six role this season.

Celebrini scored a goal in Monday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Celebrini came through when the Sharks needed him the most, and the 18-year-old center scored the game-winning goal only 3:41 into the third period. This was his third goal over his last four appearances, and the talented prospect is up to nine points (four goals, five assists) in 13 appearances since the beginning of the month.

Granlund scored a goal and took three shots in Monday's 2-1 win over the Penguins.

Granlund extended his productive stretch Monday with a goal midway through the second period, and the 32-year-old playmaker has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last five appearances. Granlund has been a productive player for a struggling Sharks team and has racked up 10 points in 13 games in January, tallying four goals and six assists.

Crosby scored a goal, took two shots and recorded two hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Crosby has found the back of the net in three of his last four games, and the 37-year-old continues to produce at a high level as the center of the Penguins' first line. Crosby has cracked the scoresheet in four of his last five appearances and is up to 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 13 games this month.

Janmark scored a goal in Monday's 4-2 win over Seattle.

Janmark found the back of the net for the first time since Nov. 3, and he also snapped a 15-game point drought. The lack of scoring totals limits his upside considerably, however, and with Janmark playing in a bottom-six role, that situation isn't expected to change any time soon.
