Eichel notched an assist and went minus-2 in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Blackhawks.

This was Eichel's second game back after missing seven due to a lower-body injury. He's resumed his usual top-line role, so the offense shouldn't take long to pick up, though the Golden Knights are on a five-game losing streak. Eichel has been strong this season with 42 points (12 goals, 30 helpers), 121 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 33 appearances.

Bennett scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Avalanche.

Bennett opened the scoring 6:27 into the first period. With the goal, he extended his point streak to nine games (four tallies, six helpers). The 29-year-old center has locked in since the second half of November and is producing at about his peak level. He's up to 14 goals, 31 points, 104 shots on net, 85 hits, 19 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 41 appearances. The hot streak may not last, but another year of 50-plus points is looking probable.

Laczynski scored two goals in AHL Henderson's 4-3 win over Colorado on Sunday.

Laczynski has three goals and six assists during a six-game point streak for the Silver Knights. He's up to 11 goals and 29 points, as well as a plus-19 rating, through 29 appearances this season. Laczynski is on a career-best pace in the AHL and could push for 60 points if he avoids slumps the rest of the way.

Cerrato scored a goal and added two assists in Penn State's 7-3 win over the Rochester Institute of Technology on Sunday.

Cerrato has had another strong year in the NCAA, racking up six goals and 18 helpers through 18 appearances. He also represented the US Collegiate Selects at the Spengler Cup in Switzerland. Cerrato is on his way to a second point-per-game campaign for Penn State, which makes him look like a pretty good second-round pick by the Hurricanes in 2025.

Bedard (shoulder) is expected back before the Olympic break, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports Sunday.

Bedard is still recovering from a shoulder injury he suffered Dec. 12. He has missed 10 games since then, and a return to the ice isn't imminent but is expected before the Olympic break, which begins Feb. 6. The 20-year-old is in the midst of his best season as a pro with 19 goals and 25 assists in 31 games.

Beecher (upper body) received a one-game suspension from the NHL Department of Player Safety on Sunday for roughing Nashville's Michael McCarron on Saturday.

Beecher won't be eligible to play in Monday's matchup against Seattle because of the suspension. However, he could miss additional time after serving the one-game ban, as he suffered an injury in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Predators.

Brindley (lower body) will play Sunday against the Panthers, according to the NHL Media site.

Brindley was injured during Wednesday's 6-1 victory over the Blues and missed Saturday's contest against the Hurricanes as a result. It will be just a one-game absence for the 21-year-old, as he is set to return for Sunday's battle with the Panthers. He has registered nine points (five goals, four assists) in 27 games played.

Wennberg signed a three-year, $18 million contract extension with San Jose on Sunday.

Wennberg has accounted for seven goals, 26 points, 47 shots on net and 52 blocked shots across 41 appearances this season. He has been a versatile middle-six forward for the organization since signing a two-year, $10 million deal with the Sharks in July of 2024.

Monahan (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup against Pittsburgh on Sunday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Monahan will miss his fourth straight game, but he could return to action against San Jose on Tuesday. He has contributed five goals, 19 points, 65 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 24 hits across 37 appearances this season.

Thomas scored a shorthanded goal and placed two shots on net in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Canadiens.

Following his takeaway near center ice, Thomas dangled past multiple defenders to create an opening for an Alexei Toropchenko shot, and Thomas finished off the play by scoring on the ensuing rebound. The 26-year-old Thomas now has 10 goals, 30 points, 57 shots on net and 23 blocks through 39 outings this season. Saturday's shorthanded goal helped him become the first skater for the Blues to reach 30 points this season. Despite going scoreless in the previous three games, Thomas still has 13 points over the last 14 contests. It would take a monstrous effort for the Blues' top-line center to reach the 80-point mark for the third consecutive season, as he has produced at a 63-point pace when available in addition to missing four games this season.
