York (upper body) is doubtful for Sunday's game against Colorado, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

There's a slight chance that York will be in the lineup, but he sat out Thursday's practice and also didn't participate in Saturday's session. York has generated one goal, 11 assists, 19 shots on net and 46 blocked shots in 23 appearances this season. Noah Juulsen will probably suit up against the Avalanche on Sunday to give York some time to recover.

Theodore scored a goal on four shots and blocked three shots in Friday's 3-0 win over the Devils.

Theodore tallied at 19:47 of the first period, and it ended up being all the offense the Golden Knights needed. The defenseman has been consistent for nearly a month now, going no longer than two games without a point since Nov. 10. In that span, he's racked up four goals and eight assists over 13 contests, for a total of 17 points, 65 shots on net, 44 blocks and a plus-4 rating in 27 appearances on the year.

Ristolainen (triceps) is in a non-contact jersey at practice Saturday, according to Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Ristolainen is participating in his first full practice of the season as he has yet to play a game. The 31-year-old is expected to play his first game of the season by the end of the month and will likely be a top-four defenseman upon his return.

Zub (lower body) will be back in action Saturday against St. Louis, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Zub sat out Thursday against the Rangers. He has three goals, 11 points, 31 hits and 39 blocked shots across 26 games this season.

Hedman (undisclosed) was activated from long-term injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Following a 12-game absence, Hedman appears ready to return to the lineup against the Islanders on Saturday. He has accounted for 12 assists, 23 shots on goal, 28 blocked shots and seven hits in 15 appearances this season.

Bertucci scored twice in AHL Texas' 3-2 overtime win over San Diego on Friday.

Bertucci got Texas on the board with a power-play goal in the second period before scoring the game-winner in overtime. These were his first two goals as a professional. He's produced six points, 23 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating over 20 appearances this season as an AHL rookie. A second-round pick from 2023, Bertucci will need to round out his game a bit in the minors before contending for a spot on the Dallas roster.

Marino scored a shorthanded empty-net goal on two shots, blocked four shots and went plus-3 in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Marino's second goal of the season helped the Mammoth secure this win. The 28-year-old blueliner has four points and a plus-9 rating over his last six contests. He's at 14 points in 29 appearances, matching his output from 35 games a year ago. Marino has added 29 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating in a steady top-four role this year.

Sergachev scored a power-play goal, dished an assist, logged two hits, blocked three shots and added two PIM in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

The goal was Sergachev's first since Nov. 5 in Toronto, and this was his first multi-point effort since he had two assists in Minnesota on Oct. 25. Prior to Friday, Sergachev had logged just two helpers over his previous nine outings. The defenseman is up to four goals, 19 points (eight on the power play), 62 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 29 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Leddy logged an assist in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

This was Leddy's first point since he was activated from injured reserve Nov. 10 after dealing with an upper-body injury. He's played in just four of the Sharks' last 13 games as the team navigates balancing minutes on a crowded blue line. For the season, Leddy is at three helpers, four shots on net, 17 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 11 appearances. He doesn't look likely to be a regular in San Jose, which makes him a non-factor in fantasy.

Heiskanen scored an empty-net goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

Heiskanen has three points, including two goals, over his last two games. The 26-year-old defenseman has been resurgent on offense this year while maintaining all of his usual shutdown duties on defense. He's matched last year's scoring numbers -- five goals, 20 helpers -- in just 29 outings this season compared to 50 during the 2024-25 regular season. Heiskanen has added 67 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating so far. At this pace, a 70-point campaign is within the reasonable range of outcomes if Heiskanen stays healthy.
