Roslovic had a goal and two assists in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Both Roslovic and linemate Easton Cowan had three-point nights -- are they this good or is it a function of their pivot? That's a guy named Auston Matthews. Roslovic's best season came in 2021-22 when he put up 45 points, including 22 goals on 131 shots, in 81 games. But he did score at a 58-point pace in the COVID-shortened season when you project it across a full season. Roslovic is worth a waiver squeeze while he's enjoying AM34's company.

Peterson was reassigned to AHL Springfield on Tuesday.

Peterson was a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game against the Jets. During this call-up, he made three appearances, logging one shot on goal, five PIM and nine hits. He'll be in the mix for a recall if the Blues need to add a little toughness later in the year.

Wennberg (upper body) will not be available versus Montreal on Tuesday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

With Wennberg unavailable, Ty Dellandrea will get into the lineup, while Zack Ostapchuk could see the biggest uptick in minutes, including with the man advantage. For his part, Wennberg is considered day-to-day and hasn't been ruled out long-term.

Rossi (illness) will not be in the lineup versus Carolina on Tuesday, Canucks Insider reports.

Rossi will miss his second straight game due to his lingering illness while Filip Chytil moves into the second-line center role. The 25-year-old Rossi is currently mired in a seven-game pointless streak during which he has recorded 13 hits, 11 shots and four blocks while averaging 17:12 of ice time.

Kindel suffered a medical episode during the Penguins' flight back to Pittsburgh, which resulted in the forward being hospitalized Tuesday.

According to the team, Kindel is alert and stable at the University of Utah Hospital, where he is undergoing further medical evaluation. The team should provide an update when there is more information on Kindel's status.

Haight was loaned to AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

In a corresponding move, Minnesota activated Nico Sturm (concussion) from injured reserve. Haight was a healthy scratch in Sunday's 2-1 win over Columbus after being summoned from the minors. He has notched three goals and five points in six AHL appearances this season.

Backlund (upper body) is day-to-day, according to Eric Francis of Sportsnet on Tuesday.

Backlund suffered an upper-body injury in Sunday's 3-2 win over Carolina. He didn't participate in Tuesday's practice, and it's unclear if he will be available to play against Minnesota on Thursday. Backlund has collected one goal, two points, 24 shots on net and seven hits in eight appearances this season.

Benak was named the NCHC Rookie of the Week on Tuesday.

Benak had two goals and an assist as Western Michigan University swept its two-game weekend series against the University of Notre Dame. Benak is up to seven points across four games for the Broncos this season. The Wild prospect was a standout with 77 points in 48 regular-season games for OHL Brantford last year, and his offense is already translating well in college hockey.

Sturm (concussion) will be in the lineup versus the Oilers on Tuesday, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Sturm will suit up for the first time since Oct. 12 versus Vegas after missing the previous three games due to his concussion. When the veteran forward has been in the lineup, he's failed to offer much in the way of fantasy value, with zero points, two shots and five hits in three games.

Miller scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.

Miller put the Rangers ahead 2-0 early in the second period. He snapped a six-game goal drought with the tally, which was his second of the campaign. The 33-year-old center has added five assists, 14 shots on net, 16 hits, 11 PIM, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 11 contests while filling a top-six role. With the Rangers showing better than expected on offense, Miller is in a good position to be an all-around contributor in fantasy.
