Maple Leafs' Jacob Quillan: Called up Tuesday
Quillan was recalled from AHL Toronto on Tuesday.
The Maple Leafs are dealing with a few injuries up front, which necessitated Quillan being brought up from the minor-league affiliate. Quillan centered the fourth line between Steven Lorentz and Calle Jarnkrok during the morning skate ahead of Tuesday's game against the Devils. Quillan has produced five goals, 23 points and a plus-7 rating over 26 appearances with the Marlies in 2025-26.

Maple Leafs' Dakota Joshua: Dealing with UBI
Joshua will not suit up against New Jersey on Tuesday due to an upper-body injury.
Jacob Quillan was recalled from AHL Toronto because of the injuries the Maple Leafs are dealing with up front, which now include Joshua. Joshua's next chance to suit up will be against the Jets on Thursday. He has six goals, 10 points, 127 hits and a minus-2 rating across 36 appearances this season.

Blake Coleman C | CGY
Flames' Blake Coleman: Scores in second straight
Coleman scored a goal and took four shots in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.
Coleman found the twine midway through the second period, tying the game 1-1 with his 12th goal of the campaign. The 34-year-old veteran has scored four goals in his last seven outings and is clearly trending in the right direction. He also has eight points (four goals, four assists) in 12 outings in December, which is a pretty decent tally for a bottom-six forward. Coleman's recent scoring surge gives him streaming upside in standard formats.

Flames' Connor Zary: Scores game-winning goal
Zary scored a power-play goal in Monday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.
Zary was credited with the game-winning goal in this victory over Boston, but in reality, it was an own goal when he tried to tip home a rebound that deflected off Hampus Lindholm before going between Jeremy Swayman's legs and into the net. The marker was Zary's fifth goal of the campaign, and three of those tallies have come in December.

Auston Matthews C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Auston Matthews: Game-time call against Devils
Matthews will be a game-time decision against the Devils on Tuesday due to a lower-body injury.
Matthews sustained the injury while blocking a shot in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to Detroit. William Nylander (lower body) is not expected to play Tuesday, so the Leafs may be without two of their most prolific offensive weapons for this fast-paced matchup. If Matthews ends up being unavailable, John Tavares will most likely center the No. 1 line.

Cole Sillinger C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Cole Sillinger: Two-point effort Monday
Sillinger notched two assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
Bumped up to center the Blue Jackets' second line between Dmitri Voronkov and Miles Wood with Sean Monahan (undisclosed) a late scratch, Sillinger made an immediate impact by helping to set up the first two goals of the night, including Damon Severson's game-winner early in the second period. Sillinger is putting the finishing touches on a productive December that has seen the 22-year-old deliver two goals and nine points in 13 contests.

Charlie Coyle C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle: Two helpers in Monday's win
Coyle picked up two assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Senators.
The veteran center had a hand in tallies by Boone Jenner in the first period and Denton Mateychuk in the third. Coyle has been surprisingly productive in his first season with Columbus despite his bottom-six role, collecting five goals and 24 points in 38 games -- a pace that would see him reach 50 points for only the third time in his career.

Anton Lundell C | FLA
Panthers' Anton Lundell: Two points in Monday's win
Lundell produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Capitals.
After finding the back of the net himself in the first period, Lundell helped set up Aaron Ekblad for the game-winner in the third. The 24-year-old center remains on track for a career-best season while filling a top-six role in place of Aleksander Barkov (knee), and through 38 games, Lundell has delivered 13 goals and 30 points.

Sam Reinhart C | FLA
Panthers' Sam Reinhart: Three points against Caps
Reinhart scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-3 win over Washington.
The veteran winger tickled twine in the first and third periods, with the latter being an empty-netter, but Reinhart's biggest contribution came in between when he found Aaron Ekblad for the game-winner midway through the final frame. Reinhart has been red hot to close out the calendar year, racking up six multi-point performances in the last 11 games with seven goals and 17 points over that stretch. Monday's tallies were also his 20th and 21st of the campaign, and Reinhart's now reached the 20-goal plateau in nine straight seasons.

Dylan Strome C | WAS
Capitals' Dylan Strome: Three points in Monday's loss
Strome scored a goal and added two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Panthers.
After helping to set up a pair of Tom Wilson tallies in the first period, Strome gave Washington a 3-2 lead early in the third, but Florida quickly erased it. Strome extended his point streak to five games with the performance, a stretch in which he's produced two goals and eight points. On the season, the 28-year-old center has eight goals and 31 points in 37 contests.
