Bogosian logged an assist in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.

This was Bogosian's second game back after missing 13 due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old should hold onto a third-pairing role as long as he can stay healthy, which has been a challenge. He's now at five points, 21 shots on net, 21 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 25 appearances this season.

Hughes logged two assists and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.

Hughes goes into his stint with Team USA at the Olympics riding a 10-game point streak. He's amassed two goals, 16 assists (seven on the power play) and 26 shots on net in that span. For the season, the 26-year-old blueliner is up to 57 points (25 on the power play), 143 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 52 appearances between the Wild and the Canucks.

Spurgeon scored the game-winning goal, added four hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Predators.

Spurgeon has two goals and an assist over his last five games. The 36-year-old defenseman secured the win 4:14 into overtime Wednesday, ending a back-and-forth game. For the season, he's produced six goals, 17 points, 69 shots on net, 108 blocked shots, 70 hits and a minus-1 rating over 58 appearances while seeing steady top-four minutes.

Anderson was put on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Anderson missed Wednesday's game against Seattle and will sit out Thursday in Vegas as well. The 26-year-old blueliner has two goals and seven assists in 54 games, including just two helpers in his last 26 appearances.

Hutson scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Jets.

Hutson has a goal and four assists during his four-game point streak. The 21-year-old defenseman reached the 10-goal mark for the season with this tally. He's added 48 assists, 16 power-play points, 91 shots on net, 90 blocked shots, 24 PIM and a plus-22 rating over 57 appearances. Hutson has quickly established himself as one of the top fantasy blueliners in the league in his two NHL seasons.

Provorov scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Blackhawks.

Provorov ended his 18-game goal drought with a first-period tally. The 29-year-old defenseman earned five assists with a plus-9 rating, 38 shots on net and 31 blocked shots in that span. He's up to a total of six goals, 20 points, 111 shots, 94 blocks, 26 PIM, 23 hits and a plus-15 rating over 56 appearances. Provorov's steady defense keeps him in a top-four role, giving him appeal in deeper fantasy formats.

Hovorka was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Hovorka could make his NHL debut Thursday in Tampa Bay, though it's more likely that he will be a healthy scratch as the Panthers' seventh blueliner. The defenseman had two goals and eight assists in 30 AHL appearances before being called up. The Panthers placed Tobias Bjornfot (undisclosed) on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Bjornfot (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.

Bjornfot had already been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lightning after he sustained an injury against the Bruins on Wednesday. However, his move to injured reserve won't impact his return timetable due to the Olympic break, and the transaction allows the Panthers to recall Mikulas Hovorka to provide additional depth against Tampa Bay.

Phillips was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.

Phillips spent the past week and a half with the Jets, but he didn't appear in any games during his time with the NHL club. He'll be sent to the minors ahead of the Olympic break and should see playing time with Manitoba during the league's layoff.

Salomonsson was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.

Salomonsson has played 13 games with the Jets in his rookie season and has failed to pick up a point. The blueliner has 14 hits and 13 blocked shots while averaging 16:58 of ice time. Salomonsson had a goal and seven assists in 25 AHL games before his recall.
