Cozens logged two assists, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Cozens set up goals by Ridly Greig and Nick Cousins in this contest, which snapped his five-game point drought. Prior to the cold stretch, Cozens had gotten on the scoresheet in eight of the first 10 contests. He's at a total of six goals, six helpers, 34 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-9 rating over 16 appearances. He could settle in around a 60-point pace this year while adding plenty of hits, which makes the 24-year-old center a fine option for fantasy managers.

Cousins scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Cousins snapped a five-game point drought with the tally. His previous two goals came in back-to-back games in late October. The 32-year-old won't be a huge factor on offense -- he's at just four points in 16 outings -- but he's added 12 shots on net, 29 PIM, 34 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. He should see most of his minutes on the fourth line and has no obvious path to power-play time.

Amadio scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

That's a fourth straight game with a goal for Amadio. His tally came in the third period to give the Senators some extra breathing room after the Mammoth had a goal overturned. Amadio has six goals and an assist this season, all within the last nine contests, as he continues to perform well in a middle-six role. He's added 19 shots on net, 24 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 16 appearances.

Duchene (upper body) will not travel with the Stars for their impending two-game road trip, according to Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine on Sunday.

Duchene will remain in Dallas and continue to work his way back to full strength while his club heads to Canada for a pair of games against the Senators and Canadiens on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively. The Ontario native last played Oct. 18, and it doesn't seem like he's close to returning to the lineup when taking into account this latest update.

Greig scored a goal, dished an assist, added three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Greig started the season with three points over four games, but he cooled off quickly. He's showing a little more offense again with three points across his last four outings, including his goal Sunday, which was his first since Oct. 13. The 23-year-old forward has a total of two goals, five helpers, 24 shots on net, 22 hits, 11 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 16 appearances. He's on a pace similar to the one that yielded 13 goals and 35 points over 78 regular-season contests in 2024-25, so it's a little discouraging that his offense isn't trending up in his third full campaign.

Toninato scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Rockford's 3-2 win over Iowa on Sunday.

Toninato is up to nine points over 13 contests this season. He has logged a pair of multi-point efforts. The Blackhawks are probably more likely to go with a younger prospect should they need forward depth, but Toninato represents a more experienced option who can fill a fourth-line spot if needed at the NHL level.

Robidas scored a goal and added an assist in AHL Chicago's 4-3 shootout win over Grand Rapids on Sunday.

Robidas has maintained a point-per-game pace early in the AHL campaign. He has a total of three goals and eight assists in 11 contests, with all three of those tallies coming over his last three games. The 22-year-old forward is also part of the Wolves' leadership group, which is a trait that could help his path to the NHL. He had two points in as many games for the Hurricanes back in April, and he put up 55 points in 70 regular-season outings with the Wolves in his AHL rookie campaign last year, so he's got plenty of potential even as an undersized forward.

Barron (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Friday, according to the NHL media site.

Barron has missed the last two games while being considered week-to-week, and now, he'll head to injured reserve. The 26-year-old has been solid this season, registering six points through 12 games on the year. Assuming his absence isn't long term, Barron could challenge his career high of 21 points this season.

Perfetti (ankle) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Anaheim on Sunday.

After missing the first 14 games, Perfetti will make his season debut. He will occupy a top-six role and see time on the first power-play unit. The 23-year-old forward compiled 18 goals, 50 points, 143 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and 71 hits across 82 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season. Perfetti will replace Cole Koepke in the lineup against the Ducks on Sunday.

Strome (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Anaheim moved Radko Gudas (lower body) to the IR list in a corresponding move. After missing 14 games, Strome will be available to make his season debut against Winnipeg on Sunday. He had 10 goals, 41 points, 137 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 52 hits across 82 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.
