Zach Bogosian D | MIN
Wild's Zach Bogosian: Taken off injured reserve
Bogosian (lower body) was activated off injured reserve ahead of Monday's matchup versus Montreal, per the NHL media site.
Bogosian was originally classified as a game-time call, but his activation off IR clears the way for him to get into the lineup. With the veteran blueliner back, David Jiricek will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box, while Matt Kiersted would be a candidate for a demotion to the minors.

Toews (upper body) is available for Monday's game against the Red Wings, Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now reports.
Toews sustained an upper-body injury in early January, but he'll be back in action Monday following a 13-game absence. Across 40 appearances this season, the 31-year-old has recorded a goal, 12 assists, 58 blocked shots, 18 PIM and 14 hits while averaging 22:20 of ice time.

Blue Jackets' Dante Fabbro: Set to travel with team
Fabbro (lower body) is expected to travel with the team ahead of Tuesday's game against New Jersey, Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site reports.
Fabbro has missed the last six games due to a lower-body injury, but it appears as though he could return to action before the Olympic break. Head coach Rick Bowness said Monday that the Blue Jackets will make a decision on Fabbro's availability Tuesday, so the 27-year-old will presumably be monitored following the team's morning skate.

Stars' Ilya Lyubushkin: Not playing Monday
Lyubushkin (lower body) won't play against Winnipeg on Monday, according to Brien Rea of Victory+.
Lyubushkin will miss his fourth straight game, and it's unclear if he will play in Wednesday's matchup against St. Louis. He has collected one goal, six assists, 24 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and 54 hits in 39 appearances this season.

Thomas Chabot D | OTT
Senators' Thomas Chabot: Game-time call Monday
Chabot (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus the Penguins on Monday, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.
Chabot has failed to find the back of the net in his last eight outings, but he has racked up six helpers over that stretch. Despite averaging 2:14 of power-play ice time per game this season, the 29-year-old Quebec native has recorded just six of his 22 points with the man advantage.

Capitals' Matt Roy: Good to go for Monday
Roy (lower body) said that he's good to go for Monday's game against the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Roy missed the last three games due to his lower-body injury and landed on injured reserve Saturday, but he'll be available for the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. The 30-year-old has appeared in 13 games since the start of the calendar year, recording three assists, 25 hits, 21 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-3 rating while averaging 21:18 of ice time.

Martin Fehervary D | WAS
Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Rejoins team
Fehervary (personal) was on the ice ahead of Monday's game versus the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
Fehervary should be back in the lineup to face New York after missing out versus Carolina on Saturday. With the blueliner back in action, Declan Chisholm will likely be dropped from the lineup, though Dylan McIlrath could also be in danger of being a healthy scratch.

Jacob Trouba D | ANA
Ducks' Jacob Trouba: Notches pair of helpers
Trouba recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.
Trouba earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 8, which was also against Vegas. The defenseman has six points over 10 contests since he welcomed his second son into the world. This has been Trouba's most productive campaign in three years -- he's at eight goals, 16 helpers, 109 shots on net, 100 hits, 108 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 54 appearances. He has a good chance of getting to the 30-point mark for the first time since 2022-23.

Charlie McAvoy D | BOS
Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Adds two assists Sunday
McAvoy registered two assists, including one on the power play, and added four PIM, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Lightning in the Stadium Series.
McAvoy has gotten on the scoresheet in 14 of his last 16 games, earning three goals and 16 helpers in that span. The 28-year-old is still wearing extra face protection to prevent damage to the injury he sustained versus Montreal on Nov. 15, but it hasn't disrupted his vision or slowed him down on offense. For the season, the blueliner is at four goals, 34 assists, 16 power-play points, 66 shots on net, 55 hits, 83 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 44 contests.

Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: Nabs helper in shootout win
McDonagh logged an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Bruins in the Stadium Series.
McDonagh missed a month due to a lower-body injury, and this was his second game back. As long as he stays healthy, he'll fill a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman. The 36-year-old has earned nine points, 21 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 20 outings this season.
