Blake Coleman C | CGY
Flames' Blake Coleman: Scores early in win
Coleman scored a goal on three shots and added three hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Coleman ended a four-game point drought with a tally at 1:32 of the first period, which stood as the game-winner. The 33-year-old forward has provided his usual mix of depth scoring, two-way play and physicality while filling a middle-six role this season. He's at six goals, one assist, 40 shots on net, 31 hits, nine blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 15 outings.

Flames' Nazem Kadri: Scores goal in 1,000th game
Kadri scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Kadri played in his 1,000th game Wednesday, and he celebrated the occasion with a second-period tally to give the Flames a 3-1 lead. The center had a five-game point streak snapped Sunday in Philadelphia, but he's been fairly consistent on offense this season. He's up to four goals, 11 points, 44 shots on net, 11 hits, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating through 15 appearances in a top-line role.

Sean Monahan C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Sustains injury Wednesday
Monahan sustained an apparent upper-body injury versus the Flames on Wednesday and was still being evaluated after the game, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Monahan sustained the injury initially in the second period, but he finished that frame and had a couple of shifts in the third before exiting the contest. More information on his status should be available prior to Saturday's game in Vancouver. If Monahan misses time, Yegor Chinakhov is likely to enter the lineup, while Boone Jenner or Cole Sillinger could slide over to center.

Denver Barkey C | PHI
Flyers' Denver Barkey: Massive in Phantoms' win
Barkey scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Lehigh Valley's 6-2 win over Bridgeport on Wednesday.
Barkey was off to an unremarkable start to the 2025-26 season before Wednesday's breakout effort. He's now at two goals, five assists, 17 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 11 appearances with the Phantoms. It's not out of place for a player to struggle when stepping up to a new level, and Barkey is an AHL rookie this year. The 2023 third-round pick will have plenty of time to continue developing his game before the Flyers need him to be NHL-ready.

Carter Klippenstein C | MIN
Wild's Carter Klippenstein: Racks up three points Wednesday
Klippenstein scored a goal and added two assists in WHL Brandon's 9-4 win over Swift Current on Wednesday.
Klippenstein entered Wednesday on a four-game point drought following his three-assist effort Oct. 25 versus Lethbridge. The Wild prospect has three goals and six assists across 13 games this season, which isn't all that impressive, but it's a better pace than his 28-point effort in 58 regular-season games last year. His best-case scenario is to develop into a bottom-six defensive ace who can win puck battles all over the ice.

Jett Luchanko C | PHI
Flyers' Jett Luchanko: Three helpers Wednesday
Luchanko recorded three assists in OHL Guelph's 6-4 win over London on Wednesday.
Luchanko has racked up a goal and five helpers over three games since returning from his time with the Flyers to begin the season. The 19-year-old has no points in eight NHL appearances across the last two years, and his early struggles in 2025-26 encouraged Philadelphia to let him continue developing in the junior ranks. Luchanko should be among Guelph's top scorers by the end of the campaign, even after missing a few weeks of the season.

Michael Misa C | SJ
Sharks' Michael Misa: Will not play Wednesday
Misa (lower body) will not play Wednesday versus the Kraken, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
The 18-year-old sustained his injury during practice and will have to miss at least one game. Misa's next chance to play is the first half of a back-to-back for San Jose on Friday against the Jets. However, the Sharks may not want him to play in consecutive days to avoid a lingering injury situation.

Jack Roslovic C | EDM
Oilers' Jack Roslovic: Provides pair of assists
Roslovic logged two assists, four shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Stars.
Roslovic has two goals and three helpers during his four-game point streak. He helped out on the Oilers' first two goals in Tuesday's contest, including a power-play tally by Leon Draisaitl. Overall, Roslovic is up to eight points, 31 shots on net and a plus-4 rating across 13 appearances. He'll have decent fantasy value as a scorer as long as he's seeing top-six minutes.

Adam Gaudette C | SJ
Sharks' Adam Gaudette: Playing Wednesday
Gaudette (upper body) will be in action for Wednesday's clash with Seattle, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
Gaudette will be back in action following a four-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. In nine outings this season, the 29-year-old forward has notched three goals, one assist and 12 shots while averaging 10:42 of ice time. Gaudette will join Philipp Kurashev and Alexander Wennberg on San Jose's second line in Wednesday's contest.

Michael Misa C | SJ
Sharks' Michael Misa: Game-time call Wednesday
Misa sustained an undisclosed injury during practice and is consequently a game-time decision for Wednesday's tilt against Seattle, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Misa has a goal and three points in seven appearances this season. After being taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, he is a highly regarded prospect. However, he's been eased into things at the pro ranks by the Sharks. The 18-year-old has spent a significant amount of time as a healthy scratch in the 2025-26 campaign.
