Devils' Cody Glass: Ruled out for Thursday's game
Glass (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Predators, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
Glass sustained an unspecified injury in the second period of Tuesday's game against Winnipeg, and he's considered day-to-day for now. The 26-year-old will be unavailable for at least one game, while Maxim Tsyplakov will enter the lineup to make his team debut against Nashville.

Bruins' Elias Lindholm: Won't play Thursday
Lindholm (upper body) won't play in Thursday's game against the Flyers, Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald reports.
Lindholm sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's game against the Predators, and head coach Marco Sturm labeled the 31-year-old as day-to-day Thursday. Lindholm will be unavailable for at least one game, but he's slated to visit with doctors Thursday, which could provide a better idea of his status with just under a week remaining before the Olympic break.

Matthew Poitras C | BOS
Bruins' Matthew Poitras: Called up by Boston
Poitras was recalled from AHL Providence on Thursday.
After appearing in exactly 33 games at the NHL level in each of the last two seasons, Poitras hasn't yet spent time with Boston this year. However, he'll join the big club after Elias Lindholm sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's game against Nashville. Across 39 appearances with Providence this year, Poitras has recorded eight goals, 16 assists and 33 PIM.

Nick Cousins C | OTT
Senators' Nick Cousins: Tallies opening goal
Cousins scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Cousins ended a month-long goal drought, a span in which he logged five assists, 23 hits and 26 PIM over 15 contests between tallies. The 32-year-old opened the scoring Wednesday at 3:21 of the second period. He's matched his point total from each of the last two regular seasons (15) while adding 42 shots on net, 104 hits, 59 PIM, 23 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. He'll likely finish 2025-26 with 20-plus points for the first time since the 2022-23 regular season.

Ridly Greig C | OTT
Senators' Ridly Greig: Nets goal in win
Greig scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Greig has picked up his scoring pace with three goals and six helpers over the last eight contests. The 23-year-old has worked his way into a top-six role in that span, and he's also on the second power-play unit, though he hasn't contributed in that situation since Oct. 27. Overall, Greig is up to nine goals, 25 points, 86 shots on net, 61 hits, 61 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 48 outings.

Cole Sillinger C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Cole Sillinger: Produces two assists
Sillinger recorded two assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.
Sillinger has three points over his last two games. He went 10 contests without a point over the bulk of January, so this return to form on offense is a positive, though he remains in a third-line role with no power-play time. The 22-year-old is now at six goals, 17 helpers, 89 shots on net, 64 hits and a plus-1 rating through 51 contests. He's on pace for a career high in points, sitting just 10 back of matching his previous high-water mark from 2024-25.

Sean Monahan C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Scores game-winner Wednesday
Monahan scored a goal in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.
Monahan's tally answered the game-tying goal by Travis Konecny late in the third period. The 31-year-old Monahan has three goals on five shots over his last four contests. That's not a sustainable scoring pace, but it looks like the center may be finding his rhythm a bit. He's now at nine goals, 25 points, 77 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating through 48 appearances this season.

Mathieu Olivier C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Secures pair of points
Olivier scored an empty-net goal on two shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and logged three hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.
Olivier earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 13 versus the Oilers. The winger has just four points across 13 outings in January while seeing consistent time on the third line. For the season, he's up to five goals, 13 points, 49 shots on net, 145 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 39 contests. He's unlikely to match his 32-point output from 2024-25, but he should be able to top the 20-point mark if he stays healthy.

Charlie Coyle C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle: Goal, assist in win
Coyle scored a goal, dished an assist and added two hits in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Flyers.
Coyle was honored in a pregame ceremony for reaching 1,000 career appearances last week, and he celebrated by scoring just 38 seconds into the game. The 33-year-old is locked in right now with six goals and four helpers over his last eight outings. For the season, Coyle has 12 goals, 23 assists, 85 shots on net, 71 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 52 appearances in a middle-six role.

Mika Zibanejad C | NYR
Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Strikes on power play in loss
Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Islanders.
Zibanejad's cooled off from his frenetic pace earlier in January, but he's still earned 10 goals and 10 assists while getting on the scoresheet in 11 of 12 games this month. For the season, the 32-year-old is up to the 50-point mark, including 20 on the power play. He has 22 goals, 28 helpers, 145 shots on net, 75 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-18 rating over 53 appearances.
