  • Connor Dewar C | PIT

    Penguins' Connor Dewar: Exits practice early

    Dewar (undisclosed) left Monday's practice before its conclusion, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

    Dewar has six goals, 12 points, 55 shots and 69 hits in 37 appearances this season. There was no update regarding his status after practice, but if Dewar can't play Tuesday versus Carolina, then Kevin Hayes will probably draw back into the lineup.

  • Sam Carrick C | BUF

    Rangers' Sam Carrick: Game-time call

    Carrick (illness) skated, but he's still considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Hurricanes, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

    It's very encouraging that Carrick skated, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up being in the lineup. If he does play Monday, then Carrick will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity. Conor Sheary is expected to draw into the lineup if Carrick proves to be unavailable.

  • Bo Horvat C | NYI

    Islanders' Bo Horvat: Scores in loss to Columbus

    Horvat scored a goal in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Playing in his second game since returning from a five-game absence due to a lower-body injury, Horvat found the back of the net midway through the second period with a wrister. It was his 20th goal of the season, and the first time he cracked the scoresheet since Dec. 9. Horvat is up to 32 points in 34 appearances this season while playing in a top-six role.

  • Pius Suter C | STL

    Blues' Pius Suter: Will miss at least four weeks

    Suter will miss at least the next four weeks because of a right ankle injury, the team announced Monday.

    Suter has seven goals and 14 points in 37 appearances with St. Louis this season. Robby Fabbri is expected to draw into the lineup for Monday's game against Buffalo due to Suter's absence.

  • Kraken's Chandler Stephenson: One of each Sunday

    Stephenson scored a goal, dished an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flyers.

    Stephenson has gotten on the scoresheet in 10 of his last 11 games, and this was his second multi-point effort in that span. His goal Sunday stood as the game-winner, his first such tally of the campaign. Stephenson is already up to 10 goals and 24 points over 36 outings, putting him on track to reach the 50-point mark for the fifth year in a row. He's added 58 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating while seeing steady time in a top-six role.

  • John Tavares C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' John Tavares: Dishes two helpers

    Tavares logged two assists, including one on the power play, and fired three shots on goal in Sunday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    Tavares earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 20 versus the Blue Jackets with this performance. He had a hand in goals by Matthew Knies and Nicholas Robertson. Tavares has earned five points over his last five outings and is up to 15 goals, 20 assists, 103 shots on net, 36 hits and a minus-5 rating through 38 appearances this season.

  • Red Wings' Mason Appleton: Nets tying goal

    Appleton scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

    The goal was Appleton's first point in four games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 29-year-old has resumed a bottom-six role and isn't seeing power-play time, so he shouldn't be expected to produce consistent offense. He's at four goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net, 33 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 30 appearances this season.

  • Sam Lafferty C | CHI

    Blackhawks' Sam Lafferty: Ends drought with assist

    Lafferty posted an assist and four hits in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Penguins.

    Lafferty snapped an 11-game drought with a helper on Nick Foligno's second-period tally. This was Lafferty's fourth straight game in the lineup, and it's a positive that he stayed in over Dominic Toninato even with Foligno returning from a hand injury. Lafferty is now at two points, six shots on net, 20 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 17 outings this season.

  • Penguins' Blake Lizotte: Deals two helpers in win

    Lizotte logged two assists in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Lizotte saw 15:18 of ice time in the blowout win. The 28-year-old forward was playing for the first time since Dec. 7 -- he missed nine games due to an upper-body injury. Lizotte should be good to handle a bottom-six role after this performance. He's racked up seven points, 31 shots on net, 25 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 28 contests this season.

  • Noel Acciari C | PIT

    Penguins' Noel Acciari: Pads lead with goal

    Acciari scored a goal on two shots and added five PIM in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Blackhawks.

    Acciari fought Connor Murphy late in the first period before adding a goal in the second. The 34-year-old Acciari continues to be a staple on the Penguins' fourth line, though he's also chipped in two goals over his last three outings. The forward is at three goals, eight points, 23 shots on net, 17 PIM, 33 hits and 17 blocked shots through 24 appearances this season. While he's on pace for his best season in a Penguins sweater, he's unlikely to come anywhere near his career highs of 20 goals and 27 points from 66 regular-season games in 2019-20 with the Panthers.
