Bogosian also missed Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kings. He has a goal and four points in 23 appearances during the 2025-26 campaign. It's unclear if the 35-year-old will be an option for Saturday's home game against the Islanders.

Fleury (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
Fleury was stretched off the ice following a hard hit into the boards against the Golden Knights on Tuesday, but he has been released from the hospital and was at the Jets' facility Wednesday for team meetings. While the team is still working to determine the full extent of Fleury's injuries, he will be out for at least a week following his placement on injured reserve.

Luke Schenn D | BUF
Jets' Luke Schenn: Rare goal in win
Schenn scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
Schenn has been battling with Colin Miller for a third-pairing role for much of the season, though the former is getting the majority of the playing time. The 36-year-old Schenn had gone 10 games without a point entering Tuesday before scoring at 12:04 of the second period. He's now at five points, 23 shots on net, 21 PIM, 80 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 28 appearances.

Ryan Pulock D | NYI
Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Dishes pair of helpers
Pulock notched two assists, two blocked shots, two PIM and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Devils.
Pulock has three helpers over his last five games, though he went scoreless in six outings before that. The 31-year-old defenseman has been steady in his own zone as usual, while chipping in just enough offense to be intriguing in deeper fantasy formats. Pulock has one goal, 18 assists, 53 shots on net, 79 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-11 rating across 43 contests this season.

Jacob Bryson D | WPG
Sabres' Jacob Bryson: Quiet on offense
Bryson has gone six games without a point after failing to find the scoresheet in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
Bryson's playing time is picking up while Michael Kesselring (lower body) and Conor Timmins (leg) are on injured reserve. Since Bryson's two-point effort versus the Blackhawks on Nov. 21, he has picked up one helper in 14 appearances. He has a total of four points, nine shots on net, 12 blocked shots, seven hits and six PIM through 25 outings this season while seeing third-pairing usage when he plays.

Owen Power D | BUF
Sabres' Owen Power: Pockets helper in win
Power notched an assist in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
Power has a three-game assist streak going, and he's earned five helpers across 12 contests since his last goal Dec. 8 versus the Flames. The defenseman has struggled overall this season with 13 points, 58 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, 20 hits and a minus-2 rating over 40 appearances. He's still seeing top-four minutes, but he's in danger of missing the 30-point mark for the first time in his fourth full campaign.

Jaccob Slavin D | CAR
Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Awaiting medical clearance
Slavin (upper body) is still waiting on medical clearance ahead of Thursday's clash with the Ducks, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Slavin was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. However, head coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't offer any clarity regarding Slavin's availability versus Anaheim, a situation complicated further by the team's decision not to hold a morning skate Thursday. Still, in order for the veteran defenseman to suit up, he will need to be activated off injured reserve. Once that happens, fantasy managers can expect Slavin back in the lineup.

Travis Sanheim D | PHI
Flyers' Travis Sanheim: Tallies again Tuesday
Sanheim scored a goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Ducks.
Sanheim is off to a strong start to January, scoring in consecutive games for the first time this season. The defenseman is up to five goals, 14 assists, 54 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 41 appearances on the campaign. Sanheim should do better than his eight-goal, 30-point effort from 2024-25 and could challenge for the second 40-point season of his career.
