Adam Henrique C | EDM
Oilers' Adam Henrique: Unavailable Tuesday
Henrique (knee) won't play against Colorado on Tuesday.
Henrique remains day-to-day and will miss his second straight game. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has contributed two goals, 10 points, 68 shots on net and 60 blocked shots across 48 appearances this season. Due to Henrque's absence, Josh Samanski will probably remain in the lineup against the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Barrett Hayton C | UTA
Mammoth's Barrett Hayton: Opens scoring in overtime loss
Hayton scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.
Hayton has two goals over seven contests since the Olympic break. The 25-year-old center is up to nine goals, 23 points, 108 shots on net and 48 PIM through 59 appearances. He had a career-best 46 points last season, but Hayton has received fewer top-six chances in 2025-26, which has played a large role in his reduced output.

Connor Bedard C | CHI
Blackhawks' Connor Bedard: Keeps rolling with two helpers
Bedard logged two assists, five shots on goal, four hits and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Mammoth.
Bedard has five points over his last four contests. The 20-year-old is continuing to provide steady offense on the top line and first power-play unit. For the season, he has reached the 60-point mark and remains on track for a career year. He has 26 goals, 34 assists, 18 power-play points, 170 shots on net and 38 PIM through 51 appearances.

Luke Glendening C | PHI
Flyers' Luke Glendening: Nabs assist for new team
Glendening posted an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
Glendening was claimed off waivers from the Devils on Friday, and this was his second game with the Flyers. The 36-year-old will compete for fourth-line minutes, though it's a less crowded competition than there was in New Jersey. Glendening is not a factor in fantasy -- he has just five helpers with 32 shots on net, 72 hits, 47 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 54 contests this season.

Sean Couturier C | PHI
Flyers' Sean Couturier: Finds twine in loss
Couturier scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
Couturier has two goals and an assist over his last six games. He's played better coming out of the Olympic break, but he was on the fourth line Monday, which suggests his opportunities on offense may be limited going forward. Couturier has seven goals, 29 points, 98 shots on net, 67 hits and 36 blocked shots over 62 appearances this season.

Noah Laba C | NYR
Rangers' Noah Laba: One of each Monday
Laba scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.
Laba tallied just 1:04 into the game and assisted on a Tye Kartye goal late in the second period. With three points over his last two games, Laba appears to have some growing chemistry alongside Kartye in a third-line role. For the season, Laba is at 19 points, 57 shots on net, 86 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 60 appearances, emerging as a solid defensive forward in his rookie campaign.

Bobby McMann C | SEA
Kraken's Bobby McMann: Unavailable Tuesday
McMann (not injury related) is still working through the visa process and won't be an option against Nashville on Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
McMann will miss his fourth straight game between his move to Seattle and having been held out by the Leafs prior to that. Once cleared to play, McMann should slot into a top-six role. He needs just two more goals to set a new personal best and top last season's 20 tallies.

Alex Turcotte C | LA
Kings' Alex Turcotte: First point since return
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.

Frederick Gaudreau C | SEA
Kraken's Frederick Gaudreau: Back in action Tuesday
Gaudreau (illness) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's clash with Nashville, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.
Gaudreau returns after missing just one game due to illness, slotting into a second-line role for the Kraken. The winger is currently mired in a 21-game goal drought during which he recorded a meager 15 shots. If he is going to get back on the scoresheet, Gaudreau will need to start shooting the puck more.

Dylan Larkin C | DET
Red Wings' Dylan Larkin: Not an option Tuesday
Larkin (leg) will not play in Tuesday's road matchup versus the Panthers, according to Max Bultman of The Athletic.
Larkin will miss his second straight game after sustaining the injury Friday. Bultman noted that the Red Wings hope to have a more substantial update on Larkin's status by Thursday. Andrew Copp and Marco Kasper occupied top-six roles up the middle Sunday in New Jersey, and that arrangement will likely remain as-is against the Panthers.
