Rossi's (lower body) status for the Wild's upcoming four-game road trip has yet to be decided but will be figured out in the coming days, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Rossi was deemed week-to-week in mid-November before his placement on injured reserve. The fact that he's in discussion to go on this road trip, which begins Tuesday in Edmonton, is an encouraging sign in his recovery, though he's not guaranteed to be activated even if he travels.

Kindel scored a goal Saturday in a 7-2 loss to Toronto.

He batted it baseball-style off Scott Laughton's shoulder and past Dennis Hildeby. It came on the power play. In an odd twist, half of Kindel's six goals have come against the Maple Leafs. He put up two in Toronto on Nov. 3. Kindel has nine points -- including six power-play points -- and 42 shots in 21 games this season. Not bad for an 18-year-old who was drafted five months ago.

Guentzel scored an empty-net goal on four shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

Guentzel continues to surge on offense. He finished November with 10 goals and seven helpers over 14 contests as a fixture in the Lightning's ever-reliable top six. The 31-year-old winger is now at 14 goals, 27 points, 70 shots and a plus-5 rating through 25 appearances this season. Guentzel is tracking toward another 40-goal campaign, which would be his second in a row and the fourth of his career if he can pull it off.

Cooley exited Saturday's game versus the Blues after a knee-on-knee collision, and there was no update on his status after the contest, Brogan Houston of Deseret News Sports reports.

Cooley was unable to put weight on his left leg as he exited the ice following the collision. With no official update available, it's unclear how severe the injury is, but these types of collisions can have devastating results. More information on Cooley's status should be available prior to Monday's game versus the Sharks, but fantasy managers should find a backup plan under the assumption that the 21-year-old will miss time.

Crosby had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 7-2 loss to Toronto.

Crosby's 16th goal this season moved him into a tie with Kirill Kaprizov for third overall. He has three multi-point efforts in his last four outings, collecting four goals and two assists during that span. The goal was also Crosby's 641st in the NHL, surpassing Dave Andreychuk for 15th on the all-time list. Up next is Brendan Shanahan, who has 656.

Richard scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Lehigh Valley's 5-4 shootout loss to Laval on Saturday.

Richard has scored three goals over his last four games, adding two assists in that span. The veteran forward is up to seven goals and 10 assists through 17 outings this season. The Flyers haven't gotten much from their fourth line this season, and Richard has done enough with the AHL club to be a call-up option if the team decides to switch things up at the NHL level.

Nugent-Hopkins scored the game-winning goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the Kraken.

Making his return from a nine-game absence due to an undisclosed issue, Nugent-Hopkins opened the scoring -- and gave Stuart Skinner all the offensive support he would need -- by completing a tic-tac-toe passing sequence with Evan Bouchard and Connor McDavid. The game-winning goal was Nugent-Hopkins' first of the season, and through 17 games, he's racked up six goals and 18 points, including 11 (three goals and eight helpers) with the man advantage.

Poitras scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Providence's 6-3 win over Belleville on Saturday.

This was Poitras' first multi-point effort since the second game of the AHL campaign. He entered Saturday with just one helper over his last six outings. Overall, Poitras has two goals and 10 points in 18 appearances, which isn't the kind of production that will help him get a call-up to Boston at this point in the year.

McDavid produced an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.

After helping to set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for what proved to be the game-winning goal midway through the first period, McDavid wrapped up the scoring with his own tally early in the third. The 28-year-old superstar puts a big November in the books, having delivered eight goals and 22 points in 14 contests.

Hyman scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Kraken.

The veteran winger picked up his first goal and first power-play point of the season in somewhat fluky fashion, as Leon Draisaitl's pass to the front of the net glanced off Hyman's skate and got past Joey Daccord. Hyman missed the first five weeks of the season while completing his recovery from wrist surgery, and in seven games since his 2025-26 debut, he's produced four points.
