Josi had two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

Josi hasn't found the back of the net since Nov. 26, when he scored a goal in a 6-3 victory over the Red Wings, but he remains a productive offensive weapon on the blue line. Since missing 12 contests due to an upper-body injury from Oct. 25 - Nov. 16, Josi has appeared in 12 straight games for the Preds and has racked up nine points (one goal, eight assists), 10 PIM, 34 shots, four hits, 13 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating during that span.

LaCombe scored a shorthanded goal on five shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Rangers.

LaCombe's goal was the opening tally at 7:18 of the second period. This was his first career shorthanded goal and his fourth shorthanded point, two of which have come this year. He's earned five points over his last six games and is up to five goals, 19 points, 76 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-1 rating over 33 appearances.

Aspirot (upper body) won't be in the lineup against Utah on Tuesday, per Joe Haggerty of Boston Sports Journal.

Aspirot will be unavailable for his second straight game, and a timeline for his return remains unclear. He has accounted for one goal, 12 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and 32 hits through 19 appearances this season. Due to Aspirot's absence, Victor Soderstrom will remain in the lineup for Tuesday's contest.

Ristolainen (triceps) will make his 2025-26 debut Tuesday in Montreal, per Charlie O'Connor of PHLY Sports.

Ristolainen will likely be eased into action following a long layoff after undergoing surgery in March for a second triceps tendon rupture. The right-shot defenseman will likely skate on the No. 3 pairing next to Nick Seeler on Tuesday, with Noah Juulsen coming out of the lineup due to Ristolainen's return. The 31-year-old accounted for four goals, 19 points, 100 shots on net, 97 hits, 94 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 63 appearances in 2024-25.

Levshunov will not be in action versus Toronto on Tuesday after showing up late to practice Monday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

Levshunov's absence will see Ethan Del Mastro link up with Connor Murphy on the Hawks' third pairing while Wyatt Kaiser steps into a power-play role. In his last nine appearances, the 20-year-old Levshunov failed to find the back of the net while chipping in two assists, 12 shots and 10 blocks.

Jiricek (lower body) will be in the lineup for Tuesday's home matchup versus the Capitals, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Jiricek exited Sunday's contest against the Bruins as a result of a lower-body injury, but he won't miss any additional action. The right-shot blueliner should skate on the third pairing alongside Matt Kiersted on Tuesday. The 22-year-old Jiricek has not recorded a point through 14 appearances this year.

Bogosian is dealing with a lower-body injury and will be out of action versus Washington on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Bogosian finds himself back on the shelf after having missed a month of the season earlier in the year with a lower-body problem. With injuries piling up on the blue line, Matt Kiersted looks set to be on the third pairing with David Jiricek (lower body).

Brodin (lower body) is still day-to-day, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Tuesday.

Brodin will miss his third straight game against Washington on Tuesday. It's unclear if he will be ready to return for Thursday's road matchup against Columbus. Brodin has contributed three goals, nine points, 28 shots on net and 66 blocked shots across 30 appearances this season.

Pionk netted a goal, placed two shots on target, recorded two blocks and dished out three hits in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to Ottawa.

Pionk tallied a goal in the second period to level the score at one apiece. The goal was his first since his return to the lineup from a lower-body injury. With Monday's twine finder, the 30-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, six points, 58 shots on net, 59 hits and 46 blocks through 28 games this season. While he's experiencing a down year offensively, Pionk has maintained value in fantasy through covering major stat categories. Even on nights when he doesn't find the scoresheet, he can manage to scrape together solid performances through his work on the other side of the blue line.

Balinskis notched two assists in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

It's the second multi-point performance of the season for Balinskis, with the other coming Nov. 24 against the Predators. The 29-year-old KHL veteran is in his third NHL season and continues to supply solid minutes from the Panthers' third pairing, delivering a goal and seven points in 23 games with 34 hits, 19 shots on net, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Gustav Forsling (undisclosed) was injured blocking a shot Monday, and if he's forced to miss any time, Balinskis could see his role expand in the short term.
