Andersson scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Andersson found the back of the net at 14:29 of the second period, 25 seconds after Matthew Coronato's goal, with a wrister that went past Jordan Binnington. This was Andersson's first goal since Oct. 20, and while he can deliver solid numbers in the physicality department, he ultimately isn't producing enough to warrant much fantasy consideration despite his top-pair role in the lineup.

Heiskanen put up two assists Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.

The points extended Heiskanen's scoring streak to five games and 11 points, including 10 assists and 10 shots. Five of the helpers have come on the power play, including one Tuesday. Heiskanen has really caught fire after scuffling through the first 12 games games with just two goals and three assists on 30 shots.

Chabot sustained an upper-body injury and won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Stars.

Chabot did not take the ice for the second period, and the injury explains why. The 28-year-old defenseman can be considered day-to-day until more information is made available. Nikolas Matinpalo would likely draw back into the lineup if Chabot is unable to play Thursday versus the Bruins.

McDonagh (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

After being injured in Saturday's 3-2 win over Washington, McDonagh will miss the next few games. He hasn't been practicing, and it's unclear when he will be available to return. He has recorded three goals, six points, 15 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and eight hits through 15 appearances this season. McDonagh's move to the IR list frees up a roster spot for the Lightning to recall a blueliner from AHL Syracuse ahead of Wednesday's contest versus the Rangers.

McNabb logged an assist, three shots on goal and four blocked shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

This was McNabb's first point of the campaign. The 34-year-old has remained in a top-four role, but he's almost exclusively a defensive presence. His slow start to 2025-26 makes it unlikely that he'll be able to get to the 20-point mark for a third straight season. In addition to his assist, he has nine shots on net, 20 hits, four PIM, a plus-4 rating and an NHL-best 51 blocked shots through 15 appearances.

Petry produced an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Petry is warming up in November with three helpers over his last four games. The 37-year-old defenseman has been working alongside Donovan Sebrango this month after Uvis Balinskis was most often on the third pairing in October. Petry is up to five helpers, 11 shots on net, 10 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 16 contests. He should be a regular in the lineup, but he'll only be a part-time power-play option, which limits his scoring potential.

Sebrango notched two assists, two hits, a plus-2 rating and five PIM in Monday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Sebrango has played in all five of the Panthers' games in November, supplanting Uvis Balinskis as the team's preferred option on the third pairing. The pair of helpers accounted for Sebrango's first scoring contributions of the season. He's added six shots on net, eight hits, five blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating in seven outings between Florida and Ottawa.

Provorov scored a goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Provorov opened the scoring at 11:42 of the first period. The defenseman has three points over his last six contests. For the season, he's at three goals, three helpers, 33 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-3 rating over 15 appearances. Provorov hasn't topped the 10-goal mark since 2019-20, so it's safe to assume his scoring touch won't last throughout the year, but he will be a defensive stalwart in the Blue Jackets' top four.

Nemec scored a goal in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Nemec scored at 19:55 of the third period to force overtime, though the Devils would still lose in the extra session. The 21-year-old Nemec looks to be gaining some responsibility in the absence of Dougie Hamilton (lower body). Over the last two games, Nemec has been over 22 minutes of ice time while seeing usage in the top four and on the second power-play unit. The blueliner has a goal, eight assists, 17 shots on net, 26 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 16 appearances this season and could make for a good short-term add in redraft formats.

Gostisbehere (abdomen) was activated from injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Carolina placed Charles-Alexis Legault (hand) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. After missing the last six games due to a midsection injury, Gostisbehere should return to the lineup against Washington on Tuesday. Based on Carolina's morning skate ahead of the matchup, the 32-year-old defender will occupy a second-pairing role and see time on the first power-play unit. Gostisbehere has registered one goal, six assists, six shots on net and eight blocked shots across six appearances this season.
