Rossi notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Rossi has three goals and two assists over nine games since his last multi-point effort. While his offense hasn't often been explosive, the 23-year-old still looks consistent when he plays on the Wild's top line. The center is up to 28 points (12 goals, 16 helpers), 60 shots on net, 27 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 35 contests.

Trenin notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.

Trenin missed five games due to an upper-body injury. He had done little on offense prior to the injury, though he scored twice in the four games before his absence. For the season, the physical forward has five points, 23 shots on net, 84 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 30 contests. Trenin is likely to fill a bottom-six role going forward, and his limited scoring upside will preclude him from being a factor in most fantasy formats.

Monahan had three assists, five shots on net, two blocked shots and two hits in Monday's 5-4 win over the Canadiens.

This was Monahan's second three-point effort in the last three games. The 30-year-old center is flourishing in his first season in Columbus with 11 goals, 20 assists and a plus-14 rating through 35 outings.

Crosby had a goal and three assists Monday in a 7-3 win over the Flyers.

He reached 1,033 NHL assists, which tied Mario Lemieux for the most in Penguins history. Crosby also tied Lemieux in three-point games (183) for the most in franchise history. Sid is coming off two straight 90-plus point seasons, and he's not far off that pace for this year at the age of 37. Crosby has actually put up two four-point efforts in his last three games. His ascent up hockey's Mt. Rushmore continues.

Vilardi picked up three assists in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Monday.

The Jets top line accounted for 11 points -- Mark Scheifele had three goals and an assist, and Kyle Connor had two goals and two assists. Vilardi has 14 goals and 17 assists in 36 games this season, which puts him within 10 points of a tying his career mark (41). He's always been talented, but he's also almost always gotten hurt. Fingers and toes crossed that Vilardi has put that injury history behind him, and he can fulfill his 70-point potential.

Tavares scored twice in a 5-2 loss to Winnipeg on Monday.

His first goal was his 200th with the Maple Leafs. Tavares scored 272 goals with the Islanders. He's now in elite territory as the fifth player in NHL history to score 200 goals with two teams. Tavares joins Wayne Gretzky (Oilers, Kings), Lanny McDonald (Maple Leafs, Flames), Mark Messier (Oilers, Rangers) and Keith Tkachuk (Jets/Coyotes, Blues). That's heady company. Then there's his current five-game, nine-point streak that includes five goals, and his 17 goals overall have him on the NHL's top-10 sniper list. Yes, Tavares, the gray beard that Leafs' fans have wanted to jettison. His value to fantasy managers this season is immense.

Carlsson (undisclosed) will be available for Monday's game against the Golden Knights, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Carlsson was injured in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over Utah, but he appears to be no worse for wear ahead of Monday's divisional contest. The 19-year-old will slot in on the second line and No. 2 power-play unit. Carlsson has produced seven goals and five assists through 26 games in 2024-25.

Scheifele had a hat trick and four points in a 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Monday.

Scheifele tipped-in the winner early in the third. He jammed in a loose puck from behind the net to drive the score up to 4-1; it was his 20th of the season. He completed the hattie with an empty-net goal. It's the 10th straight season that Scheifele has scored at least 20 goals. He has amped up his game of late, and he has 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) and 27 shots in his last 11 games. A career year may be in the cards if Scheifele and the Jets can maintain their impressive play.

Girgensons (undisclosed) will be in the lineup Monday versus Florida, per Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Girgensons was injured in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Panthers, but the ailment appears to have been a minor one. The left-shot forward has yet to miss a game in 2024-25, but he's offered just two helpers through 31 appearances.

Geekie has been ruled out for Monday's game against Florida due to an upper-body injury, Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun reports.

Geekie crashed into the boards in the second period of Sunday's game against the Panthers but was able to return later in the frame and finish out the matchup. However, he'll be sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set Monday. The exact nature and severity of the 20-year-old's injury aren't yet clear, but he'll have several days to recover before the Lightning face the Rangers on Saturday.
