  • Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Two PP helpers Monday

    Guentzel collected two power-play assists in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blues.

    The veteran winger had a hand in tallies by Darren Raddysh in the first period and Oliver Bjorkstrand in the third. Guentzel has three multi-point performances in the last six games, and since the beginning of November, he's delivered an impressive 13 goals and 28 points in 25 contests.

  • Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Making progress in recovery

    Olivier (upper body) is expected to join the team for Saturday's full practice, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    Portzline relayed that it is unclear if Olivier will be cleared for contact Saturday, as the right-shot winger has mostly been skating on his own. The 28-year-old has previously joined the team for optional morning skates, so he's seemingly progressing toward making his return to the lineup. The Mississippi native has been out of action since Nov. 26. Olivier will probably serve on the third line once he receives the green light to suit up.

  • Jets' Mark Scheifele: Offers two more assists

    Scheifele notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Mammoth.

    Scheifele helped out on both of Kyle Connor's goals in the contest. Over the last seven games, Scheifele has three goals and four assists while logging multiple points in three outings. He's up to 43 points (eight on the power play), 72 shots on net, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 35 appearances as he continues to be a leader in the Jets' offense.

  • Mammoth's Alex Kerfoot: Nets first goal of season

    Kerfoot scored a goal and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Jets.

    This was Kerfoot's second game back from an abdominal injury that cost him the first 36 contests of the season. The 31-year-old has slotted back into a bottom-six role, though he'll likely move around the lineup as necessary as one of the Mammoth's most versatile forwards. His 28-point output from 81 outings last season constituted a down year, but he may still struggle to match that total considering all the time he's missed in 2025-26.

  • Will Smith C | SJ

    Sharks' Will Smith: Deemed week-to-week

    Smith (upper body) is week-to-week, per Max Miller of NHL.com on Monday.

    Smith has already missed the last three games and remains on injured reserve. The Sharks will evaluate him further after the calendar flips to 2026. Smith has generated 12 goals, 29 points and 80 shots on net across 33 outings this campaign. With Smith and Philipp Kurashev (upper body) unavailable, Collin Graf and Igor Chernyshov have been seeing time on San Jose's top line.

  • Leo Carlsson C | ANA

    Ducks' Leo Carlsson: Unavailable Monday

    Carlsson (lower body) is day-to-day and won't play against Seattle on Monday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Carlsson could be ready to return to the lineup versus the Kings on Saturday after the Christmas break. He has amassed 17 goals, 41 points and 89 shots on net across 36 appearances this season. Mikael Granlund will occupy a top-six role in Monday's lineup due to Carlsson's absence.

  • Blackhawks' Teuvo Teravainen: Good to go

    Teravainen (foot) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia, Tracey Myers of NHL.com reports.

    Teravainen skipped Monday's practice for maintenance after blocking a shot in Saturday's 6-4 loss to Ottawa, but he will be fine to face the Flyers on Tuesday. He has generated six goals, 17 points and 38 shots on net through 34 appearances this season.

  • Rangers' Jonny Brodzinski: Nets late goal in loss

    Brodzinski scored a goal on five shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to Nashville.

    Brodzinski tallied his third goal of the season to play spoiler in the final minute of Justus Annunen's shutout bid. With the goal, Brodzinski is up to six points and 27 shots on net across 23 games this season. Sunday's goal was his first since Nov. 18, a span of 12 games in which he added just two assists. While his goal is encouraging, It would take a large role change to give Brodzinski fantasy relevance moving forward.

  • Predators' Steven Stamkos: Finds empty cage Sunday

    Stamkos scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

    Stamkos found the back of New York's empty net with less than a minute to play in Sunday's contest to extend his point streak to four games. With the tally, he has 14 goals, 20 points, 83 shots on net and 27 hits through 35 outings this season. After a rough start to the season, the 35-year-old forward has 15 of his 20 points, including 10 of his 14 goals, over the last 13 games. He has helped the Predators build momentum in the Central Division, as they currently sit just five points out of a wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Stamkos' mid-season surge gives him strong streaming value in most fantasy formats and added value in leagues that place a premium on goals.

  • Predators' Ryan O'Reilly: Point streak at seven games

    O'Reilly distributed two assists in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Rangers.

    O'Reilly recorded the primary helper on Filip Forsberg's opening goal in the second period before later helping Steven Stamkos find the back of the empty net to secure the win. With the pair of helpers, O'Reilly is up to 20 assists, 30 points, 59 shots on goal and 24 blocked shots through 35 games this season. The two-way center has continued to thrive on both sides of the ice this season and has helped the Predators go 9-4-0 in their last 13 contests. During that stretch, O'Reilly has 17 points, 21 shots on goal and six blocks. The 34-year-old center is a strong fantasy option in nearly all formats for the time being while riding a seven-game point streak.
