Cody Glass C | NJ
Devils' Cody Glass: Moves to IR
Glass (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
The Devils recalled defenseman Ethan Edwards from AHL Utica in a corresponding move. Glass is week-to-week, so his retroactive date of Nov. 12 won't impact his timeline to return to the lineup. He has produced three goals, 19 shots on net and five blocked shots in 10 appearances this season.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Finds twine in loss Sunday
Guentzel scored a goal in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Canucks.
Guentzel doubled the Lightning's lead at the 4:35 mark of the second period when he deflected a shot from Erik Cernak while in front of the net. Guentzel had a slow start to the season but has been turning things around of late with four goals and three assists over his last seven appearances.

Elias Pettersson C | VAN
Canucks' Elias Pettersson: Another multi-point effort
Pettersson recorded two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.
Pettersson didn't find the back of the net in this win, meaning he's tallied just one goal in eight appearances in November, but he continues to produce solid numbers as a playmaker. The 27-year-old center, who continues to thrive as a first-line center at even strength and on the power play, has nine points (one goal, eight helpers) this month. He's also riding a streak of three straight contests with multi-point performances, his longest of the season.

Ross Colton C | COL
Avalanche's Ross Colton: Nets game-tying goal in win
Colton scored a goal on four shots and added four hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
Colton has two goals and three assists over his last six games. His tally Sunday tied the game at 1-1 early in the second period, and the Avalanche gained the lead just 1:19 later on a Victor Olofsson goal. Colton is up to three goals, 10 points, 39 shots, 45 hits and a plus-3 rating through 19 appearances. His physical playing style makes him an option for fantasy managers in deeper formats, especially while he's seeing consistent middle-six minutes.

Martin Necas C | COL
Avalanche's Martin Necas: Deposits empty-netter
Necas scored an empty-net goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
Necas has four goals and seven points during his active four-game point streak. He provided an insurance tally in the final minute of this contest to keep the streak going. Necas is up to 13 goals, 25 points, 42 shots on net, 22 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-16 rating over 19 appearances in a steady top-line role.

Brock Nelson C | COL
Avalanche's Brock Nelson: Earns two points Sunday
Nelson scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.
Nelson helped out on Ross Colton's game-tying goal in the second period. In the third, Nelson tipped a Brent Burns shot for the Avalanche's fourth goal, which came 19 seconds after Martin Necas' empty-netter. This was Nelson's first multi-point effort of the season and extended his point streak to three games (two goals, two assists). The center has five tallies, nine points, 31 shots on net, 15 blocked shots, 11 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-10 rating through 19 appearances.

Mika Zibanejad C | NYR
Rangers' Mika Zibanejad: Another power-play goal Sunday
Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on two shots and added three blocked shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Red Wings.
Zibanejad has scored the Rangers' last two goals, and he has three tallies and three helpers over his last six outings. The Rangers' offense is still inconsistent, especially at home, but the 32-year-old has been one of the team's better players. He's at seven goals, 12 points, 66 shots on net, 28 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-9 rating across 20 appearances.

Yakov Trenin C | MIN
Wild's Yakov Trenin: Pots goal in Sunday's victory
Trenin scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Trenin hadn't scored yet this season while playing consistently in a bottom-six role. The 28-year-old brings more physicality than offense when he's on the ice, but he can score more than he has so far in 2025-26. He's at four points, 24 shots on net, 85 hits, 10 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating through 20 appearances. At that pace, he's likely to come up short of the 20-point mark for the third year in a row.

Joel Eriksson Ek C | MIN
Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Finds twine Sunday
Eriksson Ek scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and doled out two hits in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights.
Eriksson Ek ended a nine-game goal drought with the tally. In that span, he managed five assists and took at least two shots on goal in each contest. The 28-year-old center has three goals, 10 helpers, 62 shots on net, 37 hits, 12 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 20 outings this season. He's shooting just 4.8 percent so far, which is too low for a player who has been at or above 10.0 percent in four of the last five seasons.

Tyler Hopkins C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Tyler Hopkins: Three-point effort in win
Hopkins scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Kingston's 5-2 win over Sarnia on Sunday.
Hopkins has posted four games of three-plus points this season. That's the good news, but he has just eight goals and nine assists through 20 outings overall, so he hasn't displayed a lot of game-to-game consistency. A third-round pick of the Maple Leafs from 2025, Hopkins will have time to improve his overall play for the Frontenacs, though his defense and effort level will be his top traits as a professional.
