  • Wyatt Kaiser D | CHI

    Blackhawks' Wyatt Kaiser: Good to go Tuesday

    Kaiser (shoulder) will return to the lineup against Minnesota on Tuesday, according to CHGO Blackhawks.

    Kaiser is poised to return to a second-pairing role after sitting out Saturday's 4-0 loss to Vegas. He has accounted for five goals, 12 points, 60 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and 37 hits in 61 appearances this season.

  • Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Status uncertain for Tuesday

    Ekman-Larsson (personal) is expected to be a game-time decision Tuesday against the Islanders, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Per Masters, Ekman-Larsson is resting after welcoming his child into the world and will provide the team with an update on his status later Tuesday. Troy Stecher might come out of the lineup if Ekman-Larsson suits up against the Isles.

  • Nick Jensen D | OTT

    Senators' Nick Jensen: Undergoing knee surgery

    Jensen will undergo knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus and will be out for approximately six weeks, per TSN 1200 Ottawa on Tuesday.

    Jensen may have played his last game this season, as the Senators have an uphill battle to make the playoffs. With his six-week timeline, he wouldn't be available until at least the end of April, so he'll end the regular season with four goals, 17 points, 65 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 61 appearances.

  • Henry Thrun D | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Henry Thrun: Sent down Tuesday

    Thrun was reassigned to AHL Toronto on Tuesday.

    Thrun did not draw into the lineup Sunday in Minnesota after being elevated from the minors on an emergency basis. The 25-year-old's return to the AHL could be an indication that Oliver Ekman-Larsson (personal) will be back in action against the Islanders on Tuesday.

  • Red Wings' Moritz Seider: Deposits power-play goal

    Seider scored a power-play goal, fired two shots on net, recorded two blocked shots and served two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over Calgary.

    Seider scored Detroit's fourth goal of the second period on a power play to give the Red Wings a two-goal lead. With Tuesday's all-around effort, he is up to nine goals, 47 points, 150 shots on net, 104 hits and 150 blocked shots across 68 games this season. The 24-year-old blueliner has been an incredibly steady contributor for the Wings' offense as of late, with nine points over his last 10 games. He's just three points away from tying his career-best point total of 50, which he recorded across 82 regular-season games during his rookie campaign in 2021-22. He's one of the true blueliners in the league who checks every box statistically, giving him elite fantasy value in all formats for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Kings' Mikey Anderson: Two points including GWG

    Anderson scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-1 victory over the Rangers.

    The 26-year-old blueliner headed to the net on a delayed New York penalty early in the second period and banged a rebound past Igor Shesterkin for what proved to be his first GWG of the season, and just the fifth of his career. Anderson isn't known for his offense, but he has two multi-point performances in the last seven games as part of a surprising surge that's seen him deliver two goals and six points over that span while also producing 19 hits, 18 blocked shots and four shots on net.

  • Penguins' Samuel Girard: Remains shelved Monday

    Girard (upper body) will miss Monday's road game against the Avalanche, per Jesse Montano of Guerilla Sports.

    Girard is set to be absent for his fourth consecutive contest Monday and will miss out on the opportunity to face off against his former Colorado teammates. Since the Penguins acquired the 27-year-old blueliner via trade from Colorado on Feb. 24, he's struggled to find his footing offensively, as he's failed to record a point in seven games with his new team. Despite not suiting up Monday, he was spotted getting extra work in with Pittsburgh's other injured players, which shows he might be close to returning. His next opportunity to take the ice is Wednesday's road matchup against Carolina.

  • Sharks' Vincent Desharnais: Notches helper in loss

    Desharnais recorded an assist, four hits and two PIM in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.

    Desharnais ended a 10-game point drought with the helper. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to fill a third-pairing role with time on the penalty kill. The helper was his fifth point of the season to go with 23 shots on net, 68 hits, 61 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 38 appearances.

  • Artem Zub D | OTT

    Senators' Artem Zub: Send two assists in win

    Zub notched two assists, two PIM and three blocked shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

    Zub has picked up the pace with five helpers and a plus-5 rating over his last six games. The 30-year-old defenseman is playing in a top-four role, and there's been a little more room for him offensively in the absence of Jake Sanderson (upper body). Zub has 24 points -- one shy of his career high from 2023-24 -- and he's added 70 shots on net, 58 hits, 92 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 65 outings.

  • Tyler Kleven D | OTT

    Senators' Tyler Kleven: Tallies in win

    Kleven scored a goal on two shots and added two blocked shots in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

    Kleven has two goals over his last five games. He's gotten a chance to play in a top-four role in the absence of Jake Sanderson (upper body), though the increased usage is likely to be temporary. Kleven has three goals, 13 points, 72 shots on net, 110 hits, 85 blocked shots, 49 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 61 appearances.
