Megna was summoned from AHL Henderson on Thursday.

Megna has two goals and six points in 23 outings with Henderson this season. He might draw into Vegas' lineup Friday in St. Louis if Brayden McNabb (upper body) isn't able to play.

Byram scored a goal on two shots, added an assist, logged three hits and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Stars.

Byram has three goals and four assists over his last five outings. The defenseman's goal late in the second period stood as the game-winner, and he also helped out on a Tage Thompson tally in the third. Byram is up to 20 points, 51 shots on net, 48 blocked shots, 26 hits and a plus-1 rating over 39 contests this season. He's never reached the 40-point mark in any of his first five campaigns, but he's on pace to do just that in 2025-26.

Mayo notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Devils.

Mayo picked up a helper in his second NHL outing of the season. It was his first point since he had 12 in 67 games for the Coyotes in 2021-22. The 29-year-old defenseman is filling in as an emergency depth option on the Blue Jackets' blue line, but he'll likely head back to AHL Cleveland once Zach Werenski (lower body) or Erik Gudbranson (hip) can come off injured reserve.

Hughes scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Hughes came through when the Devils needed him the most. Trailing by two goals in the third period, Hughes set up Nico Hischier's power-play goal and later netted the game-winning goal with a snap shot at the 4:45 mark of the final frame. This two-point performance snapped a four-game pointless skid for the defenseman, who has four goals and 21 points in 40 games this season.

Gostisbehere (groin) didn't participate in practice, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site, which indicates that he's not ready to return Thursday versus Montreal.

Gostisbehere is slated to miss his third straight game. He has four goals and 29 points in 28 appearances in 2025-26. Mike Reilly and Joel Nystrom are likely to continue to play regularly while Shayne Gostisbehere (groin) and Jaccob Slavin (upper body) are absent.

Bogosian logged an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.

Bogosian's helper was his first point in four games since he missed four contests due to a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old defenseman is up to three points, 18 shots on net, 19 hits, 20 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 21 appearances this season. Bogosian looks to be firmly in a third-pairing role, but he offers minimal upside in fantasy with limited offense.

Moser scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

This was Moser's first point in three games since he signed an eight-year, $54 million contract extension to stay with the Lightning long-term. He's proven his value this year, mostly in a defensive capacity, though he six points over his last nine outings to help pick up the slack in the absence of Victor Hedman (elbow). Moser is now at four goals, 13 points, 52 shots on net, 31 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-27 rating through 37 appearances this season.

Hutton scored a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Predators.

The goal was Hutton's fourth over 13 games in December, and it's career-best sixth tally of the season. The 32-year-old's 11 points are his most in the last four campaigns. He's gotten steady playing time with 31 appearances so far as Vegas has often had at least one blueliner unavailable. Hutton has added 48 shots on net, 31 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in a bottom-four role.

Perbix scored a goal on two shots and blocked five shots in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Perbix has a point in each of his last two games, and he's earned a goal and three assists over 11 outings since he recovered from an upper-body injury. The defenseman is up to eight points, 39 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 19 hits and a minus-10 rating through 36 outings this season. While he plays in a top-four role, he doesn't score enough to help in standard fantasy formats.

Schneider scored a goal, added two hits and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Capitals.

Schneider lit the lamp for the first time in two months. The 29-game goal drought saw him pick up just three assists with 59 hits, 51 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. The defenseman's chances on offense are likely to be reduced now that Adam Fox (upper body) is back, making Schneider a poor choice in most fantasy formats. For the season, the 24-year-old Schneider has eight points, 50 shots, 90 hits, 68 blocks and a minus-5 rating through 42 appearances.
