Brodzinski scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

Brodzinski was playing for just the fourth time in 12 games for the Rangers this season. The 32-year-old opened the scoring on a breakaway in the first period, though the Rangers held the lead for just 1:07 before the Oilers tied it. Brodzinski is likely to remain in a bottom-six role when he's in the lineup. He doesn't tend to score a lot, nor does he fill a physical role, so his fantasy upside is minimal, especially if the Rangers pivot to including more young players on the roster.

Miller scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

Miller completed the Rangers' comeback with a goal at 2:49 of overtime. Offense has been inconsistent for Miller in the early going, as it has been for most of his New York teammates. The 32-year-old has three goals, seven points, 29 shots on net, 27 hits and a minus-1 rating across 12 appearances. Miller's offense should improve as the Rangers find more consistency, and he offers plenty of all-around upside in fantasy.

Sundqvist notched two assists, including one on the power play, and added two shots on net in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

Sundqvist has a pair of two-assist games among his five appearances since returning from a lower-body injury. The 31-year-old has resumed a role in the Blues' bottom six, but he's also on the second power-play unit, which gives him a chance for more productivity. He's at four helpers, two shots, seven hits and a minus-1 rating across five outings.

Suter scored a power-play goal on three shots and added an assist in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Canucks.

While the Blues didn't win, Suter had a productive outing against his former team. The 29-year-old had a career-high 46 points in 81 appearances with the Canucks last year before cashing in as a free agent in St. Louis. Through 11 contests to begin 2025-26, Suter has four goals, three helpers, 19 shots on net, 10 hits and six blocked shots while filling a middle-six role. He's earned three of his points over the last two games.

Cirelli scored a goal in a 2-1 overtime win over Dallas on Thursday.

Cirelli nabbed a turnover by Mikko Rantanen and took off on a breakaway, beating Jake Oettinger with a backhand. Cirelli has six goals, four assists and 19 shots in 11 games this season. It was his second game-winning goal this year.

Martin scored a goal on five shots and added three assists in OHL Sault Ste. Marie's 4-1 win over North Bay on Thursday.

It hasn't taken Martin long to readjust to the junior ranks after he was demoted from the Predators' NHL roster. In his first three games back with the Greyhounds, he's racked up a goal and six assists. The hard-working center had one helper in three games while in Nashville, and it's possible the 18-year-old rejoins the big club if the Greyhounds' campaign ends early enough.

Dickinson aggravated his previous shoulder injury in Thursday's game against the Jets, Ben Pope of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Dickinson has been dealing with this injury for a few weeks, and it cropped up again during Thursday's contest. The 30-year-old's status is questionable for Saturday versus the Oilers. If Dickinson is forced out of the lineup for a stretch, the Blackhawks could opt to put him on injured reserve to free up a roster spot.

Jarvis suffered an apparent lower-body injury Thursday versus the Islanders, and head coach Rod Brind'Amour was not optimistic about the forward's status after the game, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

The Hurricanes have already dealt with a number of injuries this season, but losing Jarvis for any length of time would be a massive blow to the team's structure. He has produced 11 points over 10 games, including four game-winning goals, and he plays in all situations. More information on Jarvis' status should be available prior to Saturday's game in Boston, but fantasy managers should start looking for fill-in options now, as it appears he'll miss some time.

Zegras had two goals and an assist in a 4-1 win over the Predators on Thursday.

One goal came on the power play. Zegras has started to warm up -- he's on a three-game, seven-point (four goals, three assists) scoring streak that includes two three-point efforts. He also has four goals, eight assists and 16 shots in 10 games this season. The Zegras resurrection may be in progress, but we'll temper expectations for a bit longer. However, he's had an encouraging start to the year.

Dickinson (undisclosed) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Jets.

It's not clear what caused Dickinson's exit from the game. The 30-year-old forward was dealing with an injury a few weeks ago, so it's possible he aggravated the issue, though his playing style does lead to some injury risk. The Blackhawks have five more games on the road during their current trip, which may necessitate a call-up if they're not comfortable inserting Sam Lafferty into the lineup.
