Santini was re-assigned to AHL Syracuse by the Lightning, the team announced Sunday.

Santini was recalled by the Lightning to serve as a depth option following some injury issues, but it's a good sign those are going to be resolved in time for the team's next game, Thursday against the Blackhawks. The 30-year-old will now return to the AHL, where he has recorded one assist in two appearances so far.

Dobson scored a goal, took three shots, recorded a hit and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers.

Dobson finally found the twine for the first time this season, and he had been pushing for his first goal, as this was the third time over his last four games in which he's recorded multiple shots. Dobson is up to three points across six games this season, and he should continue to find opportunities to produce given his consistent involvement -- he owns a steady top-pairing role while also being a regular fixture on the power play.

Coghlan scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Henderson's 4-3 win over San Diego on Saturday.

Coghlan has three points over four games this season. He never played with AHL Henderson during his first stint in the Golden Knights' organization, as Vegas hadn't established its minor-league affiliate at that time. He'll be near the top of the list of call-ups should the Golden Knights need a defenseman, though they haven't dipped into their depth while Noah Hanifin (undisclosed) has battled an injury early this season.

Letang registered an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Sharks.

Letang's helper was his first point in six outings this season. He had an injury scare against the Rangers on Oct. 11, but he's been fine during the Penguins' road trip through California, playing in his usual top-four role. The defenseman has added six shots on net, nine blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-3 rating to begin the campaign, but he'll need more offense to be reliable in fantasy.

Edmundson registered an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Edmundson got on the scoresheet for the first time in 2025-26 by helping out on a Trevor Moore tally. The 32-year-old Edmundson has played in a bottom-four role so far, and the Kings' defense is off to a shaky start even with plenty of veterans in the lineup. He's produced 10 hits, five blocked shots, six PIM, five shots on net and a plus-2 rating over six appearances. Edmundson reached the 20-point mark for the second time in his career in 2024-25, but don't expect a repeat performance.

Mahura scored the game-winning goal in overtime in a 4-3 victory over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

He cut around William Nylander and fired the puck past Anthony Stolarz from the slot to win the game. Mahura ended a streak of 134 regular-season games without a goal. His last tally came on Jan. 17, 2023, when he was with Florida. Interestingly, Mahura played in Scotiabank Arena against the Maple Leafs that night, too.

Dunn scored a goal in a 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.

Dunn one-timed a pass from Eeli Tolvanen from the top of the right faceoff circle late in the second period. The goal frustrated Leafs netminder Anthony Stolarz, who was bowled over on the play when his own defender, Brandon Carlo, pushed Jaden Schwartz into the netminder. Dunn leads the Kraken with five points (two goals, three assists) in five games.

Miller registered two helpers, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings.

Miller has a pair of multi-point efforts over his five games this season. He's at two goals, two helpers, 12 shots on net, six hits, seven blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-4 rating. The 25-year-old has filled a top-four role at even strength while seeing power-play time, and his usage in the latter situation could increase if Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) misses time. Miller's advantageous usage could eventually fade as Alexander Nikishin adjusts to the pace of NHL play, but for now, the former is a decent depth add in fantasy for his well-rounded production.

Manson scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Bruins.

Manson has a goal and an assist over the last two contests after going scoreless in his first four games of the year. His tally Saturday came at 10:22 of the first period and stood as the game-winner. In addition to two points, Manson has seven shots on net, 11 hits, 10 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a plus-5 rating through six appearances. His physical playing style is on full display, and he could be a streaming option in fantasy if he can chip in offense semi-regularly.

Rielly scored a goal Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Kraken.

The defender took a pass from Auston Matthews on a 2-on-1 and went blocker side on Joey Daccord from just below the top of the left faceoff circle. Rielly has been a great source of offense on a team that's been a bit wobbly to start the campaign. He has two goals, four assists and 19 shots in six games.
