Paul (upper body) is expected to make his season debut versus the Oilers on Thursday, according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times.

Paul was on the top line at morning skate, alongside Jake Guentzel and Brayden Point. Point underwent surgery at the start of training camp and was expected to be out until early November, so his return was delayed by a couple of weeks. Paul had 22 goals, 19 assists, 141 shots on goal and 66 hits over 76 regular-season games last season. He should see time on the second power play against Edmonton. Paul needs to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's tilt.

Sharangovich collected two assists in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

Both points came in the first period as the Flames grabbed an early 2-0 lead, before finally pulling away in the third. It was Sharangovich's first multi-point performance of the season, and it snapped a five-game point drought sandwiched around a two-game absence as a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old's 31-goal, 59-point campaign in 2023-24 seems like a distant memory, and through his first 18 games in 2025-26, Sharangovich has managed just two goals and six points.

Kadri picked up two assists while adding a team-high six shots on net, a hit and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

The veteran center had a hand in a pair of Joel Farabee tallies in the first and third periods. While it's not from lack of trying, Kadri hasn't found the back of the net himself in seven straight games despite firing 28 shots on goal. Through 22 contests on the season, he's produced four goals and 14 points.

Huberdeau notched two assists in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Buffalo.

Both helpers came in the third period, as he set up Morgan Frost for the game-winner before getting credit for an assist on a fluky tally by Matthew Coronato that caromed off the end glass before bouncing in off Colten Ellis' skate. It was Huberdeau's first multi-point effort since Nov. 2, and on the season the veteran winger has four goals and 11 points in 17 games.

Frost scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Sabres.

The former Flyer broke open a 2-2 tie early in the third period by tapping home a slick feed from Jonathan Huberdeau. Frost has two multi-point performances in the last three games but only one other point in November, and on the season the 26-year-old center has managed four goals and 12 points in 22 contests.

McMichael picked up three assists with two hits, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Oilers.

McMichael outdueled Connor McDavid, who had two assists during Thursday's matchup. McMichael is in the midst of a modest three-game point streak in which he's produced a goal and six points, but overall he's having trouble making the pace from his breakout 2024-25 campaign. Through 20 games in 2025-26, McMichael has two goals and 10 points.

McDavid notched two assists, one on the power play, in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

The 28-year-old superstar continues to put together a blistering November. McDavid has gotten onto the scoresheet in nine of 10 games this month, producing multi-point performances in seven of them en route to six goals and 18 points. McDavid has reached the 100-point plateau in five straight seasons, and he's well in his way to making it six straight with 32 points (nine goals, 23 helpers) in 22 contests.

Draisaitl produced a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

After helping to set up Darnell Nurse for the Oilers' first tally of the night in the first period, Draisaitl potted his team's last goal in the third. The superstar center has three multi-point performances in the last four games, and on the season he's delivered 14 goals and 26 points in 22 contests, including seven goals and 12 points with the man advantage.

Eyssimont scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Eyssimont has two goals and two assists over his last six games. The 29-year-old continues to contribute depth offense for a Bruins team that has exceeded expectations early in 2025-26. Eyssimont is up to five goals, 11 points, 47 shots on net, 15 hits, 15 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 22 appearances despite playing primarily in a bottom-six role.

Geekie scored two power-play goals and doled out seven hits in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

After being held off the scoresheet for two games, Geekie's offense came back in a big way Wednesday. He's claimed a share of the NHL goal lead, tying Nathan MacKinnon and Leon Draisaitl atop the leaderboard through Wednesday's action. Geekie is up to 14 goals, 20 points, 56 shots on net, 39 hits and a minus-8 rating through 22 appearances. The 27-year-old probably can't keep pace with the NHL's best all year, but his chemistry with David Pastrnak on the Bruins' top line is undeniable.
