  • Senators' Thomas Chabot: Game-time call Monday

    Chabot (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision versus the Penguins on Monday, Jackson Starr of the Senators' official site reports.

    Chabot has failed to find the back of the net in his last eight outings, but he has racked up six helpers over that stretch. Despite averaging 2:14 of power-play ice time per game this season, the 29-year-old Quebec native has recorded just six of his 22 points with the man advantage.

  • Matt Roy D | WAS

    Capitals' Matt Roy: Good to go for Monday

    Roy (lower body) said that he's good to go for Monday's game against the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Roy missed the last three games due to his lower-body injury and landed on injured reserve Saturday, but he'll be available for the first half of a back-to-back set Monday. The 30-year-old has appeared in 13 games since the start of the calendar year, recording three assists, 25 hits, 21 blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-3 rating while averaging 21:18 of ice time.

  • Capitals' Martin Fehervary: Rejoins team

    Fehervary (personal) was on the ice ahead of Monday's game versus the Islanders, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

    Fehervary should be back in the lineup to face New York after missing out versus Carolina on Saturday. With the blueliner back in action, Declan Chisholm will likely be dropped from the lineup, though Dylan McIlrath could also be in danger of being a healthy scratch.

  • Jacob Trouba D | ANA

    Ducks' Jacob Trouba: Notches pair of helpers

    Trouba recorded two assists, three shots on goal and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Golden Knights.

    Trouba earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 8, which was also against Vegas. The defenseman has six points over 10 contests since he welcomed his second son into the world. This has been Trouba's most productive campaign in three years -- he's at eight goals, 16 helpers, 109 shots on net, 100 hits, 108 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 54 appearances. He has a good chance of getting to the 30-point mark for the first time since 2022-23.

  • Bruins' Charlie McAvoy: Adds two assists Sunday

    McAvoy registered two assists, including one on the power play, and added four PIM, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 6-5 shootout loss to the Lightning in the Stadium Series.

    McAvoy has gotten on the scoresheet in 14 of his last 16 games, earning three goals and 16 helpers in that span. The 28-year-old is still wearing extra face protection to prevent damage to the injury he sustained versus Montreal on Nov. 15, but it hasn't disrupted his vision or slowed him down on offense. For the season, the blueliner is at four goals, 34 assists, 16 power-play points, 66 shots on net, 55 hits, 83 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 44 contests.

  • Lightning's Ryan McDonagh: Nabs helper in shootout win

    McDonagh logged an assist and two blocked shots in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Bruins in the Stadium Series.

    McDonagh missed a month due to a lower-body injury, and this was his second game back. As long as he stays healthy, he'll fill a top-four role as a shutdown defenseman. The 36-year-old has earned nine points, 21 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 20 outings this season.

  • Lightning's Darren Raddysh: One of each Sunday

    Raddysh scored a power-play goal on seven shots and added an assist in Sunday's 6-5 shootout win over the Bruins in the Stadium Series.

    Victor Hedman (elbow) was eased back into a seven-defensemen lineup, with Raddysh seeing a team-high 29:38 of ice time. Even with the Lightning's blue line at full strength, there's no reason to reduce Raddysh's role, as he has scored in four straight games and has seven points in that span. For the season, the 29-year-old has 16 goals, 49 points (18 on the power play), 124 shots on net, 46 hits, 46 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 47 appearances.

  • Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Dishes two assists in overtime win

    Gostisbehere notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

    Gostisbehere has three goals and three helpers over three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old helped out on Jordan Staal's opening goal and Sebastian Aho's game-winner. Gostisbehere has been excellent when healthy, racking up nine goals, 29 helpers, 13 power-play points, 80 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 38 appearances. He should benefit from the Olympic break to get some rest, assuming he stays healthy through the last two games prior to the break.

  • Hurricanes' Alexander Nikishin: Pots goal Sunday

    Nikishin scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings.

    Nikishin has earned two goals, six points, 21 shots on net, 19 hits and 11 blocked shots over his last 12 outings. The defenseman's third-period tally Sunday put the Hurricanes ahead 2-0, though the Kings got on the board just 24 seconds later. Nikishin is up to seven goals, 22 points, 86 shots, 99 hits, 62 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 54 appearances this season.

  • Matt Dumba D | PIT

    Penguins' Matt Dumba: Offense sparks to life in AHL

    Dumba registered four assists in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton's 6-2 win over Lehigh Valley on Sunday.

    Dumba recently went eight straight games without a point, but he's popped off with a goal and five assists over his last two outings. Dumba is up to two goals, nine assists, 29 shots on net and 21 PIM in 17 AHL contests this season. He was waived after a poor start to the 2025-26 campaign at the NHL level, but Dumba could play his way into a call-up while Kris Letang (foot) and Jack St. Ivany (hand) are out.
