Cousins scored a goal on two shots and dished out two hits in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over Winnipeg.

Cousins struck the back of the net midway through the second period to give the Senators an initial lead before their late comeback effort. With the twine finder, the 32-year-old forward has five goals, eight points, 23 shots on net and 64 hits through 31 games this season. While his offensive output is limited in a checking-line role, the 12-year NHL veteran is on pace to post his best point total since the 2022-23 campaign. However, he currently has a 21.7 shooting percentage, which ranks among the league's top 50 skaters. If he can begin to contribute to the offense more frequently, his hit totals give him added potential in fantasy leagues that value banger stats.

Sasson inked a two-year, $2 million contract extension with the Canucks on Monday.

Sasson will receive a slight bump in salary from his current $775,000 AAV. The 25-year-old's new deal is set to kick in next season and will keep him with Vancouver through the 2027-28 campaign. Sasson has accounted for six goals, eight points, 30 shots on net and a minus-2 rating across 29 appearances this season, mostly in a bottom-six capacity.

Stenberg was recalled from AHL Springfield on Monday.

Stenberg will help cover for some of the Blues' injuries up front, as Dylan Holloway (ankle) joined a growing list of forwards on injured reserve Monday. The 20-year-old Stenberg was the No. 25 overall pick in 2023, and he has yet to make his NHL debut. The left-shot center has contributed three goals and eight points over 21 appearances with the Thunderbirds this season.

Rakell registered an assist, three hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

Rakell was playing in his second game after returning from a long-term hand injury. He's immediately slotted back into a top-six role with ice time in all situations, so fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to activate him. He's earned nine points, 20 shots on net, 13 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 outings this season.

Smith (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Smith sustained the injury in Saturday's 6-5 overtime win over Pittsburgh. He will miss at least the next three games, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Calgary. However, a timeline for his recovery remains unclear. Smith has accumulated 12 goals, 29 points and 80 shots on net across 33 appearances this season. William Eklund will probably receive an increased role due to Smith's absence.

Kurashev (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Kurashev is mired in a 12-game goal drought, during which he has recorded three assists, 11 shots on net and 13 hits while averaging 13:59 of ice time. The forward injuries are starting to pile up for the Sharks, as Will Smith (undisclosed) was also placed on injured reserve Monday, joining Michael Misa (ankle). William Eklund and Collin Graf should both see more ice time while Kurashev is on the shelf.

Joshua (illness) participated in Monday's practice, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Joshua should be ready to return to the lineup against Chicago on Tuesday after sitting out Saturday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton. He has earned five goals, nine points, 25 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 99 hits in 29 appearances this season.

Danault (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Dallas on Monday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.

Danault will miss his second straight game due to his illness, and could be in danger of being sidelined versus the Panthers on Wednesday. The 32-year-old center has yet to find the back of the net this year, going 30 games without scoring a goal while earning just five assists. With Quinton Byfield (illness) also unavailable, the Kings will need to utilize both Jeff Malott and Andrei Kuzmenko on the fourth line.

Byfield has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Stars due to an illness, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.

Byfield is dealing with the flu and will be held out for at least one game. It's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return for Wednesday's game against the Panthers, but he should tentatively be considered day-to-day. Andrei Kuzmenko will likely enter the lineup Monday.

Rempe (upper body) was activated from long-term injured reserve Monday, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

Following a 24-game absence, Rempe appears ready to return to the lineup against Anaheim on Monday. He has supplied one goal, eight shots on net, 30 hits and seven PIM in nine appearances this season.
