Bahl found the back of the net on three shots and went plus-1 in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to St. Louis.

Bahl beat Jordan Binnington cleanly on the blocker side to tie the game at 1-1 early in the final frame, but that was all of Calgary's offense for the night. Bahl added three shots, three hits, one takeaway and one blocked shot in 20:33 of ice time. The 6-foot-6 blueliner has collected a point in back-to-back games after being held off the scoresheet in eight prior outings. The 24-year-old is at two goals, 14 points, 19 PIM, 49 shots on goal and a plus-2 rating through 43 appearances.

Tucker recorded an even-strength helper and went plus-1 in 13:36 of ice time Tuesday in a 2-1 win over the Flames.

Tucker helped the Blues earn two points Tuesday -- he sent a shot into the slot that Radek Faksa redirected into the top right corner of the net to break a 1-1 tie in the third period. It was Tucker's first helper of the campaign. The 24-year-old has chipped in a goal, an assist and a plus-3 rating through 11 appearances. He continues to see minimal ice time (11:50 per game) on the third pairing.

Finley was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Finley was called up by the Lightning on Tuesday, and he made his NHL debut during Tampa Bay's 6-2 loss to Boston. He recorded a hit, a shot on goal and a plus-1 rating in 8:25 of ice time but will head back to the minors a day later, which signals that Brayden Point (coach's decision) will likely return following a one-game absence.

Zub scored an empty-net goal in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Islanders.

It was the 29-year-old blueliner's first goal of the season, and his first point in seven games since returning from a broken foot he suffered in late November. Zub won't provide much offense, but he can be an asset in fantasy formats that value other categories, producing 18 blocked shots, nine hits and a plus-3 rating in those seven contests.

Parayko netted a goal on four shots and added one hit, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in a team-high 25:35 of ice time in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Calgary.

Parayko potted his ninth goal of the season to open the scoring just under a minute into Tuesday's contest. This was his second straight game with a goal, and through six outings in January, Parayko has registered three markers, one helper and a plus-3 rating. The right-shot blueliner is up to nine tallies and 25 points while averaging 24:26 of ice time in 2024-25. Parayko is on pace to set new career highs in goals and points in his 10th NHL campaign.

Werenski scored two goals in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.

Both tallies were impressive, and both of them tied the score for the Blue Jackets. Werenski stole the puck at his own blue line midway through the first period and beat Ivan Fedotov on a breakaway before ripping home a one-timer on a slick feed from Kirill Marchenko late in the third. The 27-year-old Werenski has stayed healthy this season and is having a breakout campaign under new head coach Dean Evason, and he seems to be getting stronger. Werenski has produced six multi-point performances in the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's erupted for four goals and 18 points with 54 shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating.

Larsson collected two assists in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Penguins.

Both helpers came in the third period as the Kraken rallied from a 2-1 deficit. It was Larsson's first multi-point performance since he erupted for three assists Dec. 5 against the Islanders. However, in between those efforts, the veteran blueliner managed just two points (one goal and one assist) in 17 contests with 32 blocked shots, 19 hits, 16 shots on net and a minus-6 rating.

Girard (upper body) is questionable for Thursday's tilt against Edmonton, according to Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette.

Girard has missed Colorado's past three games and is day-to-day. He has two goals and 18 points in 42 outings in 2024-25. If he does play versus the Oilers, then Calvin de Haan might be a healthy scratch.

Rifai was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Wednesday.

Rifai hasn't appeared in a game for the Maple Leafs yet in 2024-25, but he has been up with the NHL squad on occasion to provide depth. He has two goals, four points and 24 PIM in 26 appearances in the AHL this season.

Samuelsson (illness) will be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Carolina, per Bill Hoppe of the Olean Times Herald.

Samuelsson missed Buffalo's previous two games due to the illness. He did practice Monday, but it seems he's still not a sure thing to return. He has two goals, five points, 43 hits and 34 blocks in 26 outings in 2024-25. If Samuelsson is ready to play, then Jacob Bryson might be a healthy scratch.
