Dewar scored two goals, one shorthanded, in Monday's 6-3 win over the Kraken.

The checking-line winger gave the Penguins a 2-0 lead midway through the first period before icing things late in the third with an empty-netter. Dewar has been locked in during January, producing five goals, seven points, 16 shots on net, 12 hits, seven blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-7 rating in 10 games, and his 11 goals on the season through 48 contests have already tied his previous career high.

Necas pocketed two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

Both assists came on Nathan MacKinnon tallies, as Necas helped the Avs' superstar reach 1,100 career points. Necas has five multi-point performances in the last 11 games, a stretch in which he's racked up six goals and 13 points as he continues surging toward a career-best campaign.

MacKinnon scored two goals, one on the power play, and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Capitals.

With his goal late in the second period that wrapped up the scoring on the afternoon, MacKinnon reached 1,100 career regular-season points, becoming just the second player in franchise history to reach that plateau after Hall of Famer Joe Sakic. MacKinnon's tied with Connor McDavid atop the NHL leaderboard with 85 points, and his 38 goals put him well in front in the race for the Rocket Richard Trophy.

Frank scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

The 27-year-old winger continues to take advantage of the absence of Tom Wilson (lower body). Since Wilson was injured Jan. 3, Frank has stepped into a top-six role and responded with five goals and seven points in nine games, including one tally and one helper on the power play. Wilson appears close to a return, so Frank's surge of fantasy value could be close to an end.

Tavares scored a goal Monday in a 6-3 loss to the Wild. He fired six shots.

His goal came on the power play. Tavares continues to quietly put up points. Since Dec. 23, he has 12 points, including eight assists, in his last 14 games. His six shots equaled the number he had posted in his previous four games combined. Tavares has 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) and 122 shots in 49 games this season.

Matthews had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 loss to Minnesota on Monday.

Matthews moved into fourth place on the Maple Leafs' all-time points list with the goal, which was his 769th career point. He had been tied with Borje Salming (768). Matthews has a three-game goal streak (three goals, two assists) on the go, and he has 19 points, including 11 goals, in his last 12 games. The superstar is back.

Jarvis scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Monday's 2-1 victory over the Sabres.

He fired five shots and added five hits. Jarvis has four points (one goal, three assists) on a three-game scoring streak and 37 points, including 22 goals, 135 shots and 62 hits in 42 games this season. Jarvis is well on his way to a third-straight 30-plus goal season, and if he continues his current success, he could establish a new career mark. His previous best of 33 came in 2023-24.

Barre-Boulet was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Barre-Boulet recorded an assist and two hits during Monday's 5-2 win over the Capitals, but he had a team-low 3:46 of ice time. It was his first appearance in the NHL in 2025-26, but he'll link back up with the Eagles in short order.

Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Ivan received just 4:57 of ice time in Monday's 5-2 win over Washington. The 23-year-old has bounced between the NHL and AHL several times in January, and considering the Avalanche are dealing with a few injuries up front, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Ivan back up with the big club at some point in the near future.

Sissons (upper body) will not suit up against the Flyers on Monday, according to Jesse Granger of The Athletic.

Sissons will miss his third straight game Monday. General manager Kelly McCrimmon said that several players, including Sissons, are not expected to play until after the Olympic break, SinBin.vegas reports. Sissons has accounted for three goals, six points, 61 hits and a minus-7 rating across 41 appearances in 2025-26.
