Kyrou produced a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

This was his first multi-point effort since Jan. 20 when he had two assists versus the Golden Knights. Kyrou scored three times over nine contests in that span, a bit of a cold stretch for one of the Blues' top players. Overall, he's still doing pretty well with 23 goals, 23 helpers, 161 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 58 appearances, putting him on pace to reach the 60-point mark for a fourth straight season.

Lauko (lower body) is expected to be a full participant in Monday's practice, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

After missing the last three games, Lauko might be ready to return to the lineup against Detroit on Tuesday. He has two goals, five points, 25 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and 59 hits in 33 appearances this season. To activate Lauko from injured reserve, the Wild could assign Devin Shore to AHL Iowa or place Travis Dermott on waivers.

Rasmussen (upper body) won't travel with the Red Wings ahead of Tuesday's game against the Wild, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

Rasmussen sustained an upper-body injury during Sunday's overtime win over the Ducks after taking a hit to the head in the second period, and he'll be unavailable for at least one game. Andrew Copp (undisclosed) will also be sidelined, so Christian Fischer could enter the lineup Tuesday. Head coach Todd McLellan said Monday that Rasmussen is considered day-to-day, so the 25-year-old should be considered questionable for Thursday's game against the Blue Jackets.

Hischier recorded three assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Predators.

Hischier didn't record a point in Saturday's loss to the Stars in his return to the ice following a six-game absence due to an upper-body injury, but he made his presence felt Sunday. This was the fifth time Hischier recorded two or more assists in a single game this season, and the 26-year-old center is up to 22 helpers, and 46 total points, across 53 games in 2024-25.

Kasper scored the opening goal, dished an assist and took three shots on net in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win against the Ducks.

Kasper found the back of the net in just over three minutes into Sunday's contest. He then went on to assist Patrick Kane's game-winning goal in overtime. Overall, the 20-year-old Kasper has 10 goals, 22 points, 87 shots and 97 hits in 52 games this season. Detroit's move to send Kasper to AHL Grand Rapids over the 4 Nations Face-Off break seemed to pay off in terms of sparking his play at the NHL level. He's carved himself a role on the Red Wings' first line alongside Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond. Kasper has value in all fantasy formats and is a top name to target in deeper leagues.

Strome scored a goal and fired three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

Strome tallied the lone goal of the first period for Anaheim just over three minutes after Detroit initially went up 3-0. The 31-year-old center is up to eight goals, 31 points and 99 shots on net in 56 games this season. Sunday's goal was Strome's first since the calendar flipped to 2025, which ended a 19-game drought without finding the twine. During this stretch, Anaheim's top-line center has been a consistent playmaker with 11 assists. Strome's ice time and playmaking give him some value in deeper leagues, but there are likely better options available on waivers in most fantasy formats.

Dach was recalled from AHL Rockford on Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Dach was sent to the AHL ahead of the NHL's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, but he'll rejoin the Blackhawks ahead of their upcoming three-game road trip. Over 13 appearances with Chicago this year, he's recorded a goal, three assists, 41 hits and eight blocked shots while averaging 11:35 of ice time.

Luostarinen won't travel with the team for Tuesday's matchup with Nashville while awaiting the birth of his child, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Luostarinen has scored just once in his last 16 outings while adding three assists, 31 hits and 20 shots. With Luostarinen on the shelf, the Panthers will recall a forward from AHL Charlotte, perhaps Rasmus Asplund or Patrick Giles. It remains to be seen if Luostarinen will be available for Thursday's game against the Oilers.

Holloway scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Holloway closed the Blues' scoring barrage in the second period with a tip-in at the 19:50 mark to give the Blues a 3-1 lead. The center snapped a six-game scoring drought with this goal. He's having a career-best season across the board and has racked up 41 points in 58 games thus far, recording 17 goals and 24 assists.

Schenn scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Schenn tied the score for the Blues midway through the second period, and that goal opened the gates. St. Louis scored three unanswered goals in that frame to build a lead the team would never relinquish. This was Schenn's first goal since Jan. 20, when he bagged a goal in a 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights, and he's up to 12 goals and 33 points through 58 contests.
