Warren was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Friday.

The Long Island native had two assists in his NHL debut Saturday in Philadelphia and was held off the scoresheet Wednesday in Boston. Warren had two goals and five points in four AHL games before his promotion. The Islanders called up Calum Ritchie in a corresponding move.

Shea recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Shea evened the score for the Penguins early in the second period with a slap shot, and he'd later participate in the build-up of the game-winning goal, courtesy of Bryan Rust, in the final frame. Shea is now up to seven points through 12 games this season and has surpassed his offensive output from the 2024-25 campaign.

Dahlin scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Bruins.

The star blueliner got the Sabres on the board late in the second period with a point shot that deflected off a skate past Joonas Korpisalo, and Dahlin then set up Alex Tuch for the tying tally late in the third. The goal was Dahlin's first of the season, but he's been plenty productive in the early going, collecting nine points in 11 games, including five points with the man advantage.

Reilly scored a shorthanded goal on two shots and went plus-3 in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Islanders.

Reilly got a rebound attempt and tucked it home for the Hurricanes' second goal at 5:21 of the first period. The defenseman continues to play a larger role than initially expected as the Hurricanes deal with a number of injuries on the blue line. He's up to four points, 15 shots on net, nine blocked shots, three hits and a plus-8 rating through seven appearances. There may not be room for Reilly in the lineup when Carolina is fully healthy, but it could be a while before that happens.

Petrovic notched an assist, two shots on goal, four hits and two PIM in Thursday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Lightning.

The helper was Petrovic's first point of the season. The 33-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 16 hits, 13 blocked shots, 19 PIM and a minus-5 rating over nine appearances. The assist was his first point in an NHL game since the 2018-19 campaign. Petrovic has a good chance of staying in the lineup throughout the absence of Nils Lundkvist (lower body).

Hamilton registered two power-play assists, four shots on goal, two hits and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.

Hamilton's offense has spiked over the last week with three goals and three assists across his last four games. The 32-year-old defenseman had a hand in both of Dawson Mercer's tallies Thursday. Hamilton has seven points (four on the power play), 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating across 11 outings this season. He'll continue to offer plenty of scoring upside in a top-four role with power-play time.

Liljegren notched two assists, three shots on goal, three hits and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Sharks.

Liljegren has earned all three of his assists over the last three contests. The 26-year-old had a hand in goals by Alex Wennberg and Tyler Toffoli in this game. Liljegren's power-play time tends to vary depending on if Sam Dickinson is in the lineup, and the Sharks have a decision to make since Dickinson has now played in nine games and will burn the first year of his entry-level deal if he makes a 10th appearance. If Dickinson is ultimately reassigned to his junior team, Liljegren's fantasy value would get a boost. Liljegren has added eight shots on net, 10 hits, 18 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through eight appearances.

Walman recorded a pair of assists in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Walman had a hand in both of defense partner Darnell Nurse's two goals in the game. This was Walman's second two-assist game in a row and his third such effort of the year. The 29-year-old blueliner is up to one goal, six helpers, six shots on net, 14 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through six outings. He should continue to see steady top-four minutes and a little bit of power-play time on the second unit.

Nurse scored two goals on four shots and added four hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Nurse has maintained strong offense recently with three goals and two helpers over his last five games. The 30-year-old defenseman had the Oilers' first and third goals in this contest, but they couldn't keep the lead. Nurse is up to seven points, 29 shots on net, 22 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating across 12 appearances. He won't keep up this scoring pace for long, but he can push for roughly 40 points while offering high-end category coverage -- aside from power-play production -- in a full season.

Vaakanainen registered an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

Vaakanainen has been back in the lineup for two contests since he sat out three games as a healthy scratch. The 26-year-old is unlikely to ever have a secure spot in the lineup this season, instead sharing time with Matthew Robertson when the Rangers' blue line is fully healthy. Vaakanainen's helper was his first point of the campaign to go with eight shots on net, six blocked shots, six PIM, three hits and a plus-2 rating across nine appearances.
