McNabb scored a goal, dished an assist, went plus-3, added three hits and blocked four shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Panthers.

McNabb had an all-around excellent game, which included him scoring the opening goal and assisting on Tomas Hertl's empty-netter. With four points over his last four outings, McNabb is enjoying one of his most successful stretches of the season. He's supplied three goals, eight assists, 62 shots on net, a plus-28 rating, 88 hits and 111 blocked shots over 50 appearances this season.

Del Mastro recorded an assist, two hits and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

The helper on Frank Nazar's third-period tally counted as Del Mastro's first NHL point in four appearances over the last two seasons. The 22-year-old blueliner is likely to fill a bottom-four role while he's on the NHL roster, and he should challenge T.J. Brodie and Nolan Allan for playing time. Most fantasy managers are unlikely to have much interest in Del Mastro's production for now.

Jones scored a power-play goal on six shots, blocked three shots and added two hits in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Wild.

Jones missed Friday's game versus the Lightning due to an illness. He was back in action Sunday and saw his usual workload with 24:06 of ice time. Jones also earned a point in his fifth straight outing (two goals, five assists). The 30-year-old blueliner is up to five goals, 21 points, 63 shots on net, 59 blocked shots, 42 hits and a minus-12 rating through 32 appearances this season.

Bogosian logged an assist and two PIM in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Bogosian ended a five-game point drought with the helper. He has five points over 12 outings in January, but his role has shrunk following the returns of Brock Faber and Jared Spurgeon from their respective injuries that kept them out of action earlier in the month. Bogosian is at 11 points, 53 shots on net, 54 hits, 55 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 50 appearances. He should still be a consistent third-pairing blueliner, though that's a role that's unlikely to make him attractive to fantasy managers.

Spurgeon scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks.

Spurgeon has two points over three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The defenseman was able to get a bit of a breather in this contest since the Wild controlled play well, logging 18:54 of ice time, his lowest mark since his return. The 35-year-old figures to play an important role in all situations moving forward. He has five goals, 15 points, 64 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 35 appearances in 2024-25.

Makar scored two goals in the first period and dished the game-winning assist in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Rangers.

Makar's performance featured a bit of everything -- he added two shots on net, two blocked shots and two PIM to his impressive offensive stat line. He broke a 2-2 tie late in the first period with a power-play goal on feeds from Nathan MacKinnon and newly acquired forward Martin Necas. Makar also showed his ability on both sides of the puck by picking up a steal before dishing to Artturi Lehkonen for the game-winner. The 26-year-old blueliner is up to 18 goals, 38 assists and 151 shots on goal in 51 appearances this season. The 2022 Norris Trophy winner is in the conversation for the award again in 2024-25. Makar leads all defensemen in goals and will look to add to his campaign totals Tuesday against the Islanders.

Bean logged an assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Bean was scratched Saturday versus the Wild in favor of Joel Hanley, but there was room for both in the lineup due to the absence of Kevin Bahl (undisclosed) for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old Bean has just three points over 22 appearances since the start of December, and his scratch Saturday indicates his playing time could drop once the Flames' defense is fully healthy again. For the season, he has six points, 37 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating across 34 outings.

Weegar scored a power-play goal on three shots, added five hits, blocked three shots and went minus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Jets.

Weegar has three points over his last two games after going six contests without getting on the scoresheet. The defenseman has had a few dry spells, but he partially offsets that by providing plenty of physical stats. He's up to six goals, 25 points (10 on the power play), 103 shots on net, 128 hits, 106 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-10 rating across 48 appearances.

Samberg notched an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Flames.

Samberg has three helpers over nine games since returning from a broken foot. That's pretty standard production for the defenseman, who handles a shutdown role on the Jets' second pairing. Overall, he has nine points, 42 shots on net, 49 blocked shots, 29 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-17 rating over 30 appearances.

Morrissey (illness) is available for Sunday's game against the Flames, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Morrissey was unable to practice Saturday due to an illness, but he won't be forced to miss game action due to the ailment. Over 11 appearances this month, he's racked up two goals, six assists, 13 blocked shots and three hits while averaging 22:42 of ice time.
