Sanheim scored a goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Capitals.

The veteran blueliner got the Flyers on the board 39 seconds into the second period on a one-timer before helping to set up a Christian Dvorak tally early in the third. Sanheim broke out of a four-game point drought with the performance. However, he has three goals and four assists in his last 11 outings.

Makar (upper body) is expected to miss a few games after head coach Jared Bednar told reporters Wednesday, "He's going to miss some time here. Nothing serious, though," Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Based on Bednar's comments, Makar will likely miss at least the remainder of the week, which includes games against Vancouver on Wednesday, Dallas on Saturday and St. Louis on Sunday. While an exact timeline for Makar's return is unclear, the Avalanche probably won't rush him back with the playoffs fast approaching. In his last nine contests, the 27-year-old defenseman recorded one goal and eight assists, including six power-play points.

Fox notched two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

The star blueliner had a hand in the first-period tally by J.T. Miller, which proved to be the game-winner, as well as a third-period strike by Mika Zibanejad. Fox has gotten onto the scoresheet in four straight games and has three multi-point efforts during that span. He has amassed two goals and 15 points over the last 13 contests, including 10 points (one goal, nine assists) on the power play.

Jones recorded three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Ottawa.

Jones supplied an assist on each of the Panthers' first three goals Tuesday, securing his first three-point game of the season within just nine minutes. With the three-point outing, he now has 23 assists, 29 points, 84 shots on net, 44 hits and 52 blocked shots across 48 games this season. The 31-year-old blueliner is just one point shy of securing his fifth consecutive season with 30 points or more. He's been heating up with five assists over his last four appearances, making Jones a solid fantasy option for the remainder of the season.

Jones (lower body) was taken off the non-roster list Wednesday, per the NHL media site.

Jones' activation comes as he finished serving a 20-game suspension for violating the NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program while recovering from a lower-body problem. Even with Jones now eligible to play against the Lightning on Thursday, he's far from a lock to break into the lineup, especially with the Penguins having won two straight contests.

Jones (lower body) is eligible to return after completing his 20-game suspension.

Jones was recovering from a lower-body injury when he was handed a 20-game suspension for violating the league's Performance Enhancing Substances Program. Even if Jones is available to play ahead of Thursday's contest, he's far from a lock to step into the lineup ahead of Ryan Shea or Connor Clifton.

Crevier logged two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Jets.

Crevier has earned four assists over his last four contests. He's shown no ill effects after taking a skate blade to the face in last Thursday's game against the Flyers. The 24-year-old defenseman is filling a top-four role to close out the 2025-26 campaign. He's earned 21 points, 108 shots on net, 114 hits, 84 blocked shots, 59 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 71 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.

Morrissey scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

Morrissey got the Jets on the board early in the second period and helped out on Kyle Connor's game-winning tally in overtime. The 31-year-old Morrissey has a goal and five assists during his five-game point streak. The defenseman produced 10 points over 13 outings in March and is up to 13 goals, 39 helpers, 127 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 69 appearances this season.

Gostisbehere scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Gostisbehere has three points over three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old continues to be productive on the first power-play unit, which is where he's earned 16 of his 46 points this season. He's added 105 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 48 appearances despite numerous absences due to his recurring injury. He has yet to go two straight months without missing time this season, which could make him risky in playoff pools.

Jokiharju had a goal and an assist in a 6-3 win over the Stars on Tuesday.

His first goal with the Bruins stood as the winner. Jokiharju wired a wrist shot from the high slot glove side on Jake Oettinger early in the third period. Jokiharju has played 39 games this season and 18 last year for Boston. His fantasy value is limited. He has just 12 points, 35 shots, 35 blocks and 25 hits in 39 games.
