  • Kings' Mikey Anderson: In deep slump

    Anderson has been limited to one assist over his last 21 games after going scoreless in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

    Anderson's point drought is now at 14 contests. The 26-year-old defenseman still provides steady shutdown minutes in a top-four role, but this quarter of the season has seen his scoring pace plummet. He's at eight points, 40 shots on net, 55 hits, 74 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 49 appearances.

    Canadiens' Lane Hutson: Three-game, seven-point streak

    Hutson scored a goal and added an assist Tuesday in a 4-3 victory over Minnesota.

    Hutson is on a three-game, seven-point scoring streak (one goal, six assists), and he sits second overall on the Canadiens with nine goals and 52 points (50 games). Last season, just three defenders finished the season with at least a point-per-game. Cale Makar led that charge, followed by Zach Werenski and Quinn Hughes. This season, only four are roaring along at a point-per-game pace: Werenksi, Makar, Hutson and Darren Raddysh.

  • Jets' Josh Morrissey: Earns three points in win

    Morrissey scored a power-play goal, added two assists and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Blues.

    The first of Morrissey's two helpers also came on the power play. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to impress with four goals and eight helpers over 11 outings in January. He reached the 10-goal mark Tuesday and is at 42 points (12 on the power play), 87 shots on net, 85 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-14 rating across 49 appearances this season.

  • Kings' Drew Doughty: Exiting lineup Tuesday

    Doughty will miss Tuesday's game versus the Rangers due to an illness.

    Jacob Moverare will replace Doughty in the lineup and could also pick up power-play time. The 36-year-old Doughty's absence comes at a decent time, as the Kings' next game is Saturday in St. Louis, giving him plenty of time to get healthy again.

  • Sabres' Michael Kesselring: Not playing Tuesday

    Kesselring (ankle) won't play against Nashville on Tuesday.

    Kesselring will miss his second straight game after tweaking his ankle injury. However, the issue isn't believed to be serious. He hasn't picked up a point in 17 appearances this season while collecting 23 shots on goal, 23 blocked shots and 16 hits.

  • Andrew Peeke D | BOS

    Bruins' Andrew Peeke: Set to play

    Peeke (lower body) is expected to play against Dallas on Tuesday, per Jim McBride of The Boston Globe.

    After missing Saturday's 5-2 win over Chicago, Peeke will replace Henri Jokiharju (personal) in Tuesday's lineup. The 27-year-old Peeke has four goals, nine points, 54 shots on net, 92 blocked shots and 58 hits across 48 appearances this season.

  • Jonas Brodin D | MIN

    Wild's Jonas Brodin: Out through Olympics

    Brodin (lower body) won't return before the Olympics and will not represent Sweden at the tournament, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

    Brodin's status for the Olympics was already in doubt, and this update confirms that. The 32-year-old blueliner is on injured reserve and considered week-to-week, but he'll be out for nearly six weeks at a minimum due to the injury.

  • Penguins' Erik Karlsson: Still sidelined versus Flames

    Karlsson (lower body) will not be in action versus Calgary on Wednesday but did practice in a regular jersey, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports.

    Karlsson will be out of action for his fifth straight contest due to his lower-body injury. Still, it seems the blueliner is making progress and could be back sooner rather than later. Since the Christmas break, Karlsson has been producing offensively with one goal and six assists, including three power-play points, in eight outings.

  • Kris Letang D | PIT

    Penguins' Kris Letang: Suffers upper-body injury

    Letang missed practice Tuesday because of an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day.

    Letang has been rolling offensively in 10 games since the calendar flipped to 2026, posting one goal, five assists and 13 shots while averaging 23:35 of ice time. If the veteran blueliner does miss Wednesday's clash with Calgary, it could be an opportunity for new addition Ilya Solovyov to make his Penguins debut -- though Jack St. Ivany will also be in the mix.

  • Will Borgen D | NYR

    Rangers' Will Borgen: Slumping on offense

    Borgen's point drought reached 21 games in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.

    In that span, he's gone minus-3 with 20 shots on net, 28 hits, 30 blocked shots and 12 PIM. Borgen isn't typically a high-scoring blueliner anyway, but this is a notably long slump for the 29-year-old. He's produced just four points with 40 shots on net, 64 hits, 56 blocks, 22 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 43 outings this season.
