Howden (lower body) won't be in action against Los Angeles on Wednesday, per Sin Bin Vegas.

Howden was rolling offensively prior to getting hurt, producing six points in his last nine contests, including four goals. Once given the all-clear, the Calgary native should be capable of producing between 30 and 40 points this year, assuming he doesn't spend too much longer on the shelf. While not officially ruled out, the Knights' back-to-back likely means that Howden will also be out against Toronto on Thursday.

Barron (upper body) is not expected to be available for Tuesday's home contest against the Islanders.

Barron is set to miss his third consecutive game Tuesday. The 27-year-old had picked up the pace over the last month prior to getting hurt, producing four goals, three helpers, 26 shots, 36 hits and a plus-5 rating across a 13-game stretch. Barron's next opportunity to get back into the lineup will be in Minnesota on Thursday.

Steel logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Steel set up Wyatt Johnston's opening goal and helped out on Matt Duchene's empty-netter. With five points over his last three games, Steel is warming up, though he remains more of a versatile depth forward rather than a leader on offense. He's up to seven goals, 19 points, 48 shots on net, 47 hits, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 46 appearances. Steel is on pace to earn his first 30-point campaign.

Duchene scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Duchene's goal at 19:42 of the third period provided some extra security late in the contest for the Stars. He's earned two goals and three helpers over six outings in January after being limited to three points across 11 games in December. The 34-year-old center is up to 10 points, 28 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 21 outings in a season that's been disrupted by a long-term upper-body injury.

Nelson scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Nelson put the Avalanche ahead 2-1 late in the first period, though Bobby McMann pulled Toronto level in the second. With 13 goals and 20 points over his last 17 games, Nelson has found his groove on the Avalanche's second line and first power-play unit -- he has earned nine of those points with the man advantage. The 34-year-old center is at 22 goals, 38 points (11 on the power play), 98 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-11 rating through 45 appearances.

McMann scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.

McMann has slipped back into a fourth-line role, though he still saw 18:06 of ice time after Nicholas Robertson (lower body) exited early. The 29-year-old McMann's versatility is a gift and a curse -- he can play all over the lineup, but there's no top-six spot for him when the team is mostly healthy. He's on a heater with six goals and 10 points over his last 12 outings, giving him 14 goals, 24 points, 90 shots on net, 94 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 44 contests this season.

Hischier notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Hischier had gone seven games without a helper, earning three goals in that span. The center had a hand in goals by Dawson Mercer and Ondrej Palat across the first two periods of Monday's win. Hischier is at 35 points (11 on the power play), 122 shots on net, 36 hits, 42 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 46 appearances this season.

Raty notched an assist and four hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Raty ended a 10-game point drought with the helper. The 23-year-old has played regularly in the bottom-six this season, though he was losing playing time in late December prior to Marco Rossi (lower body) landing on injured reserve Jan. 2. Raty is at three goals, a career-high 12 points, 33 shots on net, 88 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 37 appearances.

Sasson scored a goal in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Sasson's goal tied the game at 3-3 midway through the second period, but it was all Montreal in the third. The tally snapped his eight-game point drought. The 25-year-old center is up to nine goals, two assists, 45 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 42 outings as a regular in the Canucks' bottom six.

Pettersson scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Canadiens.

Pettersson has scored in four of the last eight games, totaling five points in that span. The 27-year-old has been under 19 minutes of ice time in three of the last four contests, which may be something to keep an eye on -- he's the Canucks' top center, and it's not like the team is swimming in the deep end down the middle. For the season, Pettersson is up to 12 goals, 27 points, 76 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 32 hits and a minus-14 rating over 37 appearances.
