Schenn scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Islanders.

Schenn had gone 11 games without a goal, picking up just one assist with 16 shots on net and 16 hits in that span. It's not unusual for Schenn to go streaky during the season, though he's maintained a second-line role during his recent cold spell. Overall, the 34-year-old forward has just three goals, seven points, 31 shots on net, 46 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-15 rating through 22 appearances. That's a pace that would see him finish under 30 points for the first time since the abbreviated 2012-13 campaign.

Fantilli scored a power-play goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Fantilli continues to fill the net -- he has seven goals over his last eight games. The 21-year-old center opened the scoring in Saturday's contest at 13:18 of the first period. Fantilli is up to nine goals, 17 points, 53 shots on net, 23 hits, 13 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 22 outings. He has two power-play points this campaign, but with his offense trending up recently, he should remain on the first line and top power-play unit.

Greig (undisclosed) is not in the projected lineup for Saturday's game versus the Sharks.

Greig is poised to miss his second straight game with the injury. He is day-to-day, but it's unclear when the 23-year-old will be ready to return. The Senators' next game is in Los Angeles on Monday as the team's season-long road trip continues.

Brindley (lower body) is week-to-week, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports Saturday.

There's no firm timeline for the 21-year-old forward's return, but he will be evaluated further in a few weeks. Tristen Nielsen and Jason Polin are likely to both be in the lineup at least for Saturday's game versus the Predators. The Avalanche have made a lot of adjustments to their depth forwards via roster moves this year, so numerous players from AHL Colorado could be in the mix to help cover Brindley's absence.

Suter scored the game-winning goal on a team-high four shots on net in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Islanders.

The 29-year-old center tapped home a rebound late in the second period to give the Blues a 2-0 lead. The tally snapped an eight-game goal drought for Suter, which included only two assists. Through 22 games in his first season with St. Louis, he's produced six goals and 11 points.

Granlund (lower body) hasn't resumed skating yet, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Saturday.

Granlund will miss his fifth straight game against Vegas on Saturday, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has already missed 12 of the last 13 contests, and the Ducks probably won't rush him back into the lineup. Granlund has recorded three goals, six assists and 21 shots on net over nine appearances this season.

Texier was placed on unconditional waivers by St. Louis on Saturday to terminate his contract, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press.

Assuming he clears, Texier will become an unrestricted free agent. He has provided one assist, seven shots on goal, one blocked shot and nine hits across eight appearances with St. Louis this season.

Poehling (upper body) participated in Saturday's morning skate but will be out for at least another week, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Poehling will miss his sixth straight game against Vegas on Saturday, but he could still return before the end of November. He has accounted for one goal, five assists, 11 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and seven hits across 16 appearances this season.

Brindley (lower body) didn't accompany Colorado on the team's two-game road trip, Avalanche journalist Collen Flynn reported Friday.

Brindley won't be available for at least Saturday's game against Nashville and Sunday's matchup versus Chicago. However, it's unclear when he will be available to return to the lineup. He has contributed four goals, seven points, 22 shots on net and 19 hits in 18 appearances this season.

Miller (upper body) is day-to-day and won't play against Utah on Saturday, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports.

Miller has generated six goals, 12 points, 51 shots on net and 54 hits across 22 appearances this season. Based on the morning skate, Alexis Lafreniere will move up to the top line, and Juuso Parssinen will draw back into Saturday's lineup after being a healthy scratch for Thursday's 6-3 loss to Colorado.
