Larkin scored a goal and put seven shots on target in Sunday's 5-1 loss to Chicago.

Larkin's tally was one of the lone bright spots of the game for Detroit's offense, which has scored just two goals in the team's last three games. Overall, the 29-year-old Larkin has nine goals, 19 points and 51 shots on net across 16 games this season. While his scoring pace has slowed over the past two weeks, Larkin still finds himself in the top-20 across the league in total points. He's also tied for 20th in shots on goal and should remain a high-level option in all fantasy formats with his consistent scoring track record.

Moore scored a goal and put five shots on net in Sunday's 5-1 win over Detroit.

Moore's first goal at the NHL level came with 16 seconds to go in regulation. Since his call-up from AHL Rockford, he has two points in four contests with the Blackhawks. The 20-year-old has seen a nice stint on the second line due to the injuries to Jason Dickinson (shoulder) and Frank Nazar (undisclosed). It remains to be seen whether Moore will head back down to AHL Rockford when Dickinson is activated from IR, but Moore's first stint in the NHL this season could lead to more opportunities in the future.

Janmark (undisclosed) will make his season debut Monday against the Blue Jackets, Paige Martin of Oilers TV reports.

Janmark sustained an undisclosed injury during training camp and was unavailable for the first month of the regular season. However, he's practiced with the team recently and will be able to return to game action against Columbus. He made 80 regular-season appearances for the Oilers last year, recording two goals, 16 assists, 45 hits, 35 blocked shots and 22 PIM while averaging 13:18 of ice time.

Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) will be out of action for at least one week, according to Tony Brar of Oilers TV on Monday.

Nugent-Hopkins logged only 14:50 of ice time in Saturday's 9-1 loss to Colorado. It's unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has collected five goals, 16 points and 23 shots on net across 16 appearances this season. With Nugent-Hopkins unavailable, Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) will come off injured reserve to make his season debut in Monday's game against Columbus.

Trocheck (upper body) will not have his minutes limited against the Predators on Monday, Mollie Walker of the New York Post reports.

Trocheck will be back in action after a 14-game stint on the sidelines due to his upper-body issue. After missing just one game over the prior four seasons, Trocheck won't reach the 70-game threshold this year even if he plays every game the rest of the way. With Trocheck back in action, he will retake his spot as the second-line center while linking up with the No. 2 power-play unit.

Mittelstadt (lower body) is week-to-week, according to Scott McLaughlin of WEEI on Monday.

Mittelstadt didn't participate in Monday's practice after sitting out Saturday's 5-3 win over Toronto. However, head coach Marco Sturm said that the 26-year-old forward felt better than anticipated. Still, it's unclear when Mittelstadt will be available to return. He has contributed four goals, nine points and 14 shots on net through 15 appearances this season. With Mittelstadt unavailable, Alex Steeves occupied a top-six role in Saturday's victory.

Bedard scored a power-play goal, dished out two assists and had two shots on net in Sunday's 5-1 win over Detroit.

Bedard's hot start continued Sunday with his fourth game of the season posting three or more points. He scored on a power-play inside the first minute of the game before dishing out two primary assists in the third period, one of which was also on the power play. Overall, the 20-year-old superstar has nine goals, 16 assists and 52 shots on goal across 16 games this year. During his eight-game point streak, Bedard has 18 of his 25 points. He is on pace to smash his career high of 67 points that he set in his 82-game sophomore season. Chicago's young phenom has entered the upper echelon of fantasy hockey with his frequent offensive contributions to begin the year.

Teravainen scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Teravainen chipped in on Connor Bedard's goal in the first minute of the contest before scoring one of his own early in the second period. The 31-year-old Teravainen now has three goals, eight assists and 17 shots on goal through 16 games this season. His performance Sunday ended a four-game point drought and marked his first assist since Oct. 23. While there are likely more consistent options available on the waiver wire, his most recent performance is a sign of good things to come if he can post a similar pace to the 58 points he had in 82 games in his first full season with the Blackhawks in 2024-25.

Matthews scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

This was just the third multi-point effort of the season for Matthews, who remains productive even if he's not filling out the box score as he did a few seasons ago. The 28-year-old star is up to 14 points this season and seems to be trending in the right direction with six points (four goals, two assists) in five contests this month. For the sake of comparison, Matthews put up eight points in 11 games in October.

Tavares recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

Tavares recorded both of his points toward the end of the first period. He netted his ninth goal of the campaign at the 15:31 mark with a snap shot and later assisted William Nylander's power-play goal with 59 seconds left in the frame. Tavares has 21 points (nine goals, 12 helpers) across 16 games this season and remains a highly productive player for Toronto while skating on the second line alongside Nicholas Robertson and Bobby McMann.
