Sillinger logged an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Sillinger has had a slow start to 2025-26 with just two assists over eight games. He's played primarily on the third line, which may be a factor in his lackluster offense. The 22-year-old has added 13 shots on net, eight hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating. He's reached the 30-point mark in three of his first four campaigns, but he's yet to reach another level, though youth is still on his side.

Coyle scored a goal on two shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Penguins.

Coyle has been steady in a middle-six role so far while seeing ice time in all situations. He's earned a point in three of his last four games as his offense starts to pick up. The veteran center has a goal, three assists, 12 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-3 rating across eight appearances. That kind of production won't pop off the page, but it may be enough to help in deeper fantasy formats.

LaBate has been assigned to AHL Abbotsford by the Canucks, the team announced Sunday.

The 32-year-old played in one game during his NHL stint, registering two shots on goal during 9:32 of ice time Oct. 21 against the Penguins. LaBate will return to the AHL, where he has two goals and one assist in four games so far.

Duchene (upper body) won't play against Nashville on Sunday, per Stars beat reporter Robert Tiffin.

Duchene remains day-to-day and will miss his fourth straight game. He has collected one goal, one assist, three shots on net, four blocked shots and two hits over four appearances this season.

Rakell had surgery on his left hand, and he will be out six-to-eight weeks, the team announced Sunday.

Rakell departed Saturday's game against the Blue Jackets early and didn't return, and he'll be out with the injury he sustained for six-to-eight weeks. The 32-year-old was off to a great start this season, registering eight points (three goals, five assists) in nine games. With his exit from the lineup for the foreseeable future, it's a major opportunity for guys like Ville Koivunen, who was recalled by the team earlier Sunday, to make an impact in a larger NHL role.

Rodrigues had an assist and put two shots on net in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Rodrigues picked up a secondary helper on linemate Sam Reinhart's first-period tally. Overall, Rodrigues is up to three assists, five points and 19 shots on net through 10 games this season. It has been an up-and-down experience for him centering the top line, so Rodrigues' value in fantasy is best in deep leagues until he can put together more point streaks, such as the three-game run he had at the beginning of the season.

Schwindt scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over Vegas.

Not only was Schwindt able to score his first point with Florida after the team drafted him in 2019, but it came against the Golden Knights, who released him after he played 42 regular-season games with the club a year ago. It's a nice story for the 24-year-old, who was also making his season debut with Florida. While Schwindt isn't on the fantasy hockey radar, performances such as Saturday's should help him fight for a roster spot when Tomas Nosek (knee) and Matthew Tkachuk (groin) return from injury.

Glass (upper body) will not travel with the team during its upcoming four-game road trip, Kristy Flannery of The Hockey News reports Sunday.

Glass was set to miss "some time," according to head coach Sheldon Keefe, and that will span at least the duration of the Devils' upcoming four-game road trip. Based off of this timeline, the earliest possible date the 26-year-old could return would be Nov. 6 against the Canadiens. In his six games so far this season, Glass has two goals.

Verhaeghe dished out an assist, fired five shots on goal and provided two hits in Saturday's 3-0 win against Vegas.

One of Verhaeghe's best all-around performances of the season was highlighted by a primary helper on Sam Reinhart's game-winning goal in the first period. Verhaeghe now has two assists, four points and 28 shots on goal through 10 games this season. It's an encouraging sign to see Verhaghe post two points in his last three games, as Florida will need to get him going with top-line center Aleksander Barkov (knee) done for the season. If his slow start continues, however, stronger options might rise above Verhaeghe in fantasy. For now, it is best to exercise patience with the winger, as he has posted 50-plus points in each of the past three seasons.

Reinhart scored a goal, fired four shots on net and blocked two shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Golden Knights.

Reinhart's first-period goal held up as the game-winner. The 29-year-old right winger now has goals in back-to-back contests, bringing his season total up to four scores and five points through 10 games. It was encouraging to see Reinhart's linemates, Carter Verhaeghe and Evan Rodrigues, pick up assists on the early goal, as Florida will need its top line to turn it up a notch to get back into first place in the Atlantic Division. Despite the Panthers' slow start to the season offensively, Reinhart remains a strong option in all fantasy formats.
