Greene scored a shorthanded goal and dished out two hits in Monday's 5-1 loss to Buffalo.

Greene put the Blackhawks in the lead early in Monday's contest with his shorthanded twine finder less than four minutes after the opening puck drop. Greene has been heating up as of late and has a goal in each of his last two games. Overall, he is up to 11 goals, 28 points, 107 shots on net, 48 hits and 37 blocked shots through 80 games this season. His rookie campaign has had some highs to take into next season, and he'll look to finish the campaign on a point streak during Chicago's season finale against the Sharks on Wednesday.

McLeod tallied a goal in Monday's 5-1 win over Chicago.

McLeod tacked on an insurance goal in Monday's matchup with less than two minutes to play. With the twine finder, he now has 14 goals, 54 points, 90 shots on net and 34 blocked shots across 81 games this season. His consistency this year has elevated him to a new career high in points, using Monday's goal to boost him past the 53 points he tallied across 79 games a year ago. He should continue to make an impact for the Sabres in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in his role as the team's second-line center.

Olivier (upper body) will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's home game versus Washington, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

This will be Olivier's eighth straight absence. The Blue Jackets were eliminated from playoff contention, so Olivier will conclude his season with 15 goals, 26 points, 209 hits, 101 PIM, 93 shots and a plus-13 rating over 61 appearances. The 29-year-old should be ready for the start of training camp in the fall.

Norris tallied a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Norris found the back of the net late in the first period to level Monday's score at one apiece before the Sabres went off with four more goals. Overall, the 26-year-old center has 12 goals, 33 points, 67 shots on net, 24 hits and 24 blocked shots across 43 games this season. He's played a big role in helping Buffalo secure the Atlantic Division title during his five-game point streak. Norris has posted strong point-per-game numbers when healthy this season and could make an impact in the postseason from his middle-six role amidst Buffalo's stacked offense.

Thompson scored two goals, fired six shots on net and dished out two hits in Monday's 5-1 win over Chicago.

Thompson's first goal of the contest, which he scored midway through the second period, would stand as Monday's game-winning tally. With his pair of twine finders, the 28-year-old center has eclipsed 40 goals on the season, securing 40 or more goals in three of the last four regular seasons. Overall, he is up to 81 points, 272 shots on net, 85 hits and 48 blocked shots across 81 games this campaign. His consistency this season has led him to the second 80-plus-point regular season of his nine-year NHL career. Thompson will look to bring his strong stretch of play into the postseason, where Buffalo will host the higher-seeded of the two wild-card teams in the Eastern Conference.

Celebrini tallied two goals on two shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Predators.

Celebrini scored his first goal of the night early in the third period before securing his multi-goal outing with the go-ahead, empty-net marker with less than two minutes remaining in the contest. With the pair of tallies, he is up to 44 goals, 112 points, 281 shots on net, 53 hits and 52 blocked shots across 80 games this season. Over his last 10 games, he's been on fire with nine goals and 16 points. He'll look to finish his incredible sophomore season on a high note across the last two games on San Jose's regular-season schedule.

Gaucher was promoted from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old center has posted 20 goals and 36 points in 66 AHL appearances in 2025-26. After going undrafted out of the QMJHL and working his way through the ECHL before landing in Lehigh Valley, Gaucher earned a two-year, entry-level contract with Philadelphia in December 2024. He has logged three games with the Flyers this season without recording a point. The 6-foot-3 pivot is developing into a reliable AHL center with a nose for the net, though he doesn't carry meaningful fantasy value at this stage.

Richard was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old winger has put together a productive 2025-26 campaign with the Phantoms, posting 18 goals and 44 points across 63 appearances. That builds on a strong 2024-25 season in which he tallied 17 goals and 36 points in 42 AHL games while also logging 15 outings with the Flyers, going 2-4-6. A veteran of more than 500 career AHL games across six organizations, Richard brings depth and an offensive edge to the bottom six. His fantasy value is negligible outside of the deepest formats.

Stenberg was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Tuesday, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Stenberg has logged 32 games for the Blues as a rookie this season, notching three goals and seven helpers to go with 49 hits. Rather than keeping the 20-year-old center in the NHL for the final two games of the season, the organization is choosing to bolster the Thunderbirds' ranks ahead of a postseason push.

Foudy was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday.

Foudy hasn't gotten into an NHL game this season, featuring exclusively in the minors where he has racked up 46 points in 58 games for AHL Bridgeport. Fantasy managers can expect the 26-year-old center to get into Tuesday's matchup with the Hurricanes. Selected 18th overall in the 2018 NHL Draft, Foudy's brief cameo could open the door for him to secure a roster spot heading into the 2026-27 campaign.
