  • Ben Jones C | MIN

    Wild's Ben Jones: Returned to AHL

    Jones was assigned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

    Minnesota activated Zach Bogosian (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move. Jones hasn't earned a point in 20 NHL appearances this season while contributing 17 shots on goal, seven blocked shots and 47 hits. He has two assists in three AHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

  • Tyson Kozak C | BUF

    Sabres' Tyson Kozak: Not playing Tuesday

    Kozak (upper body) won't play against Ottawa on Tuesday, per Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550.

    Kozak participated in Tuesday's morning skate, but he will miss his third straight game. He has chipped in two goals, four points, 19 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 62 hits across 24 appearances this season.

  • Kraken's Frederick Gaudreau: Rare power-play goal in win

    Gaudreau scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Ducks.

    Gaudreau netted his second goal of the season to open the scoring at 4:49 of the second period. The 32-year-old forward has been playing right wing on a line with Chandler Stephenson and Eeli Tolvanen lately, which has been Seattle's best trio in recent games. Gaudreau is up to seven points, 20 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through 21 appearances and will be relied on as a two-way forward with a steady spot in the lineup.

  • Max Sasson C | VAN

    Canucks' Max Sasson: Pots goal in loss

    Sasson scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

    Sasson has scored in consecutive contests and in three of his last six games. The 25-year-old is holding onto a bottom-six role for the Canucks, who are still missing multiple centers, though Sasson could move to the wing when the team is healthier. He's produced a decent eight goals, two assists, 34 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 16 hits over 33 appearances this season.

  • Flyers' Christian Dvorak: Scores after one-game absence

    Dvorak scored a goal and added two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

    The Flyers spread the ice time around in this one, with Dvorak seeing 16:00 from the top line. The center was coming back from a one-game absence due to a lower-body issue. He's now at eight goals, 24 points, 60 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 34 appearances. Dvorak is on pace to top the 40-point mark for the first time in his career, and with a fairly reasonable 13.3 shooting percentage so far, regression shouldn't be too significant if it happens at all.

  • Lightning's Zemgus Girgensons: Nabs helper in win

    Girgensons logged an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

    Girgensons snapped a 12-game point drought when he helped out on Pontus Holmberg's goal 21 seconds into the game. With the helper, Girgensons is at seven points in 29 outings this season, surpassing the six-point regular season he had in 2024-25. This year, he's added 41 shots on net, 84 hits, 20 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating as a regular in the Lightning's bottom six.

  • Ducks' Mikael Granlund: Extends scoring streak

    Granlund scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Kraken.

    Granlund accounted for all the offense the Ducks were able to muster Monday, but that goal extended the veteran's scoring streak to four contests. He had scored just three goals in his previous 15 appearances, so he's clearly going through his most prolific stretch. Even more importantly, it seems his injury issues are a thing of the past now. Granlund missed all but one of the Ducks' 19 games between Oct. 28 and Dec. 3 due to a lower-body injury.

  • Lightning's Anthony Cirelli: Nets 10th goal of season

    Cirelli scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

    Cirelli's second-period tally answered the Blues' lone goal from Justin Faulk. The goal ended a nearly month-long slump for Cirelli, who was limited to three assists over 13 contests between tallies. The center is up to 10 goals, 20 points, 59 shots on net, 20 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 32 appearances this season.

  • Matt Rempe C | NYR

    Rangers' Matt Rempe: Set to play

    Rempe (illness) is expected to play against Washington on Tuesday, according to Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

    Rempe sat out Sunday's 2-1 loss to Nashville, but he participated in Tuesday's morning skate and said he's feeling much better. He has compiled one goal, 10 shots on net, 44 hits and seven PIM across 13 appearances this season.

  • Canadiens' Phillip Danault: Ready to rock

    Danault (illness) will play against Boston on Tuesday, according to Patrick Friolet of RDS.

    Danault skated with the team for the first time at Tuesday's morning skate since being acquired from the Kings on Friday. Based on the session, he will occupy a third-line role against the Bruins. Danault has five assists, 42 shots on goal, 11 blocked shots and 22 hits in 30 games this season.
