Schenn scored a goal, recorded two shots and dished out two hits in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Schenn's goal in the final two minutes of regulation wouldn't be enough to spark a comeback, as the Blues would drop their fifth game in the team's last six tries. With the lamp lighter, Schenn is up to four goals, eight points, 33 shots on net and 48 hits through 23 games this season. While the 34-year-old forward has gotten off to a slow start in his 17th season, he has a goal in back-to-back games and is a solid option in fantasy leagues that value banger stats. While he might miss out on the 50-point mark this season, there should be stretches where Schenn posts strong offensive numbers as head coach Jim Montgomery continues to jumble St. Louis' lines.

Edstrom scored a goal and dished out three hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Edstrom's tally midway through the final period would stand as Monday's game-winner. With the twine finder, he's up to two goals, four points and 42 hits through 21 games this season. The 25-year-old forward has been a consistent name in the lineup for the Rangers, who have been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the early stages of this season. While his numbers keep him off the fantasy radar in standard formats, he has recorded both of his goals in the last three games and has sneaky value in banger formats while serving on New York's checking line. However, Edstrom would need to continue his recent offensive production to warrant any pickups from the waiver wire.

Rodrigues recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.

Rodrigues found the back of the net at 5:42 of the first period to give the Panthers a 2-0 lead with a wrister, and he later assisted Sam Reinhart's third-period tally when the game was already out of reach for the Predators. The Panthers have been struggling on offense this season, but Rodrigues is finding ways to remain productive while anchoring the second line. He's up to seven points (four goals, three assists) in 11 games since the beginning of November.

Trocheck scored a goal, served two PIM and dished out four hits in Monday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Trocheck tallied the lone goal of the second period to level the score at 1-1. With the twine finder, he is up to four goals, eight points, 12 shots on net and 39 hits through 10 games this season. The 32-year-old center has sparked the Rangers' offense since his return to the lineup with at least one point in five of his last eight games. He should continue to see top-six minutes up the center of the ice and provide a steady source of hits the rest of the season. Trocheck is a strong option in most fantasy formats with an added boost in banger leagues.

Verhaeghe had one goal, two assists, a plus-4 rating, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.

Verhaeghe was everywhere for the Panthers, and he made his presence felt early on by assisting A.J. Greer on the opening goal just 11 seconds into the game. Verhaeghe would later add two more contributions in the third period, making it his second multi-point game of the season. Both have come in his last four games, so the 30-year-old might be thawing after a cold start to the season. Verhaeghe has 13 points in 22 games in 2025-26, and with only three goals in that span, his streak of four consecutive regular seasons with at least 20 goals looks to be in jeopardy.

Reinhart recorded a goal and two assists in Monday's 8-3 win over the Predators.

Reinhart delivered two assists in the first period, in goals scored by Evan Rodrigues and Jesper Boqvist, and he later added a strike of his own at 8:33 of the final frame. The left winger has been on an absolute tear of late, and he has three games with at least three points during his ongoing seven-game point streak. He's up to 15 points (eight goals, seven assists) despite a minus-4 rating in 11 contests since the beginning of November.

McQueen was named a Hockey East Co-Player of the Week on Tuesday.

McQueen had two goals and an assist for Providence College, which split the week's two-game set versus UMass-Amherst. McQueen is up to four goals and 11 points over 13 appearances this season, overcoming a slow start to the year. The freshman forward should continue to be able to grow his offense, and the Ducks will be keeping an eye on their 2025 first-rounder's progress, as should dynasty fantasy managers.

Morton was assigned to AHL Calgary on Tuesday.

Morton got into three games with the big club after being elevated from the minors Nov. 17. He had nine hits, three shots on goal, 10 PIM and a minus-1 rating during that stint. The 26-year-old will receive more consistent ice time with the Wranglers -- he's collected four goals and 12 points over 16 appearances with them in 2025-26.

Parssinen was placed on waivers Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

Parssinen has contributed two goals, one assist, 12 shots on net, nine blocked shots and 20 hits across 14 appearances this season. He has been a healthy scratch in six of the last eight games, and he will report to AHL Hartford if he clears waivers.

Cooley scored four goals on five shots in Monday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.

Cooley was on a dreadful slump of just one goal and four total points over his last 11 games, but he broke out of that negative run with the best individual performance of his young career. Cooley will probably go on a strong run of production just from the confidence booster that stems from netting four goals in a single game, but the 21-year-old playmaker has already been productive this season. Even when factoring in that 11-game slump, Cooley still has 21 points (13 goals, eight assists) in 23 outings this season.
