Olivier's upper-body injury will be assessed by the team's medical staff Tuesday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Olivier seemed to be injured during Monday's loss to the Capitals after a puck battle in the corner -- he went to the bench slowly and then to the locker room, per Svoboda. The right-shot winger will be evaluated Tuesday, and the team will see where he's at ahead of Wednesday's home matchup versus the Maple Leafs. Olivier has accounted for three goals, nine points, 71 hits, 29 shots on goal, 44 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 23 appearances this season.

Glass scored a goal and blocked a shot in Monday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

Glass found the back of the net with less than one minute to go in the first, capping off a three-goal effort from New Jersey in the opening period. Overall, the 26-year-old center has four goals and 20 shots on net through 11 games this season. Monday's game was his first since sustaining an upper-body injury, and he didn't miss a beat in getting involved offensively. The stint on IR was Glass' second of the season, which makes him a risky long-term stash in fantasy. When he is healthy, however, he offers decent goal-scoring numbers and could provide fantasy value in deep leagues if he begins to find his footing as a playmaker this season.

Hischier scored a goal, provided an assist, recorded a shot on goal, blocked three attempts and dished out three hits in Monday's 4-3 win over Detroit.

Hischier once again served as the workhorse forward for New Jersey, as he made a large impact at both ends of the ice in his 21:15 of playing time. On offense, he picked up the secondary helper on Timo Meier's goal before he scored one himself with two minutes to go in the opening period. With Hischier's active performance Monday, he's up to seven goals, 11 assists, 49 shots on net and 26 blocks through 22 games this season. The No. 1 overall selection in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft has five points in his last two games and has stepped up in a big way with Jack Hughes (finger) sidelined. Hischier should continue to play a large chunk of minutes each game moving forward, and his category coverage makes him a high-level play in most fantasy formats.

Cirelli picked up a goal and an assist in Monday's 3-0 win over the Flyers.

Tampa Bay's top line of Cirelli, Brandon Hagel and Nikita Kucherov accounted for basically all of the team's offense on the night -- Emil Lilleberg got an assist on Hagel's first of two goals, but otherwise that trio recorded every one of the Bolts' points. Cirelli has produced back-to-back two-point performances as part of that unit, and on the season, he's delivered nine goals and 16 points in 18 games.

Olivier has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against Washington due to an upper-body injury.

Olivier was injured during the first period and didn't come out for the second. The 28-year-old recorded one block and one hit in 4:49 of ice time before departing the game. The Blue Jackets' next game is at home Wednesday versus Toronto.

Trocheck (undisclosed) will suit up in Monday's home matchup against the Blues, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic.

Trocheck was classified as a game-time decision earlier Monday, but he'll be available for this cross-conference game. The right-shot center will center the second line between Artemi Panarin and Jonny Brodzinski on Monday. Trocheck has recorded three goals, seven points, 35 hits and a minus-1 rating across nine appearances in 2025-26.

Dowd (upper body) isn't in the lineup for Monday's home contest versus Columbus, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Dowd will miss his fourth consecutive game due to his upper-body injury. The Alabama native's next chance to suit up will be at home Wednesday against the Jets.

Lazar (upper body) will be out for at least another week, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV on Monday.

Lazar has already missed the last three games, and he will be out for at least two more, starting with Tuesday's matchup against Dallas. However, his week-to-week status could keep him out longer. Lazar has picked up one goal, three shots on net, five blocked shots and 19 hits across nine appearances this season.

Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) isn't sure if he will be ready to face the Stars on Tuesday, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports.

Nugent-Hopkins told reporters he still needed to talk to the team, but it seems like he may be close to being a game-time call. Fantasy managers will have to wait to see how Tuesday's morning skate shakes out before determining if the forward will be in the lineup. Whenever Nugent-Hopkins does get the all-clear, he figures to play on the wing for one of the Oilers' top two lines.

Greig (undisclosed) will not be an option versus Los Angeles on Monday, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.

Greig will be shelved for his third straight game due to his lingering undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the 23-year-old center was starting to find his stride offensively with four points in his last five outings. With Greig out, Stephen Halliday will continue to feature in a fourth-line role.
