K'Andre Miller D | CAR
Rangers' K'Andre Miller: Still day-to-day
According to Dan Rosen of NHL.com, Miller (upper body) is day-to-day ahead of the Rangers' back-to-back against Carolina and New Jersey on Sunday and Monday, respectively.
Miller won't play against the Hurricanes on Sunday and remains on injured reserve. With a four-day holiday break coming after Monday's matchup versus the Devils, he may miss that game too to give him some additional time to recover. Miller has two goals, four assists, 42 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 55 hits across 28 appearances this season.

Vince Dunn D | SEA
Kraken's Vince Dunn: Scores on power play in loss
Dunn scored a power-play goal, blocked two shots and went minus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
Dunn ended a three-game slump with the tally. He's gone minus-8 over his last four contests, a span in which the Kraken have gotten outscored 17-4. Dunn plays big minutes on the top pairing, so it's natural his plus-minus will take a hit when the team struggles. The defenseman more than makes up for it with offense -- he has five goals, six assists and 35 shots on net through 15 appearances in 2024-25, including four power-play points.

Brayden McNabb D | LV
Golden Knights' Brayden McNabb: Gets on scoresheet with helper
McNabb notched an assist, three shots on goal, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
McNabb ended an 11-game point drought when he helped out on Keegan Kolesar's first-period tally. Through 33 appearances, McNabb hasn't come close to replicating his 26-point 2023-24 regular season. He has four points, 43 shots on net, 53 hits, 80 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating in 2024-25, serving as a strong defensive presence in a top-four role.

Nicolas Hague D | NSH
Golden Knights' Nicolas Hague: Lights lamp in win
Hague scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
The goal was Hague's first since Oct. 25 against the Senators. The defenseman has just two points over eight outings in December, though his spot on the third pairing isn't one that tends to lead to much scoring. Hague has contributed a modest four points with 23 shots on net, 29 hits, 20 blocked shots, 13 PIM and a minus-4 rating through 22 contests this season.

Noah Hanifin D | LV
Golden Knights' Noah Hanifin: Finds twine in win
Hanifin scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Kraken.
Hanifin has a goal and three helpers over his last four contests. He stretched the Golden Knights' lead to 5-1 when he scored on a pass from Mark Stone at 11:28 of the third period. Hanifin hasn't strung together sustained offense -- his longest point streak is three games. He's at four goals, 12 helpers, 59 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 33 outings overall.

Tyler Myers D | DAL
Canucks' Tyler Myers: Records assist Saturday
Myers produced an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Myers ended a five-game slump when he assisted on a Jake DeBrusk tally in the second period. The 34-year-old Myers has been playing on the top pairing in the absence of Filip Hronek (lower body), but the extra playing time continues to be a burden rather than a benefit. Myers is at eight points, 31 shots on net, 62 blocked shots, 38 hits, 24 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 33 appearances. While he chips in with lots of non-scoring production, he's a risky option in most fantasy formats.

Quinn Hughes D | MIN
Canucks' Quinn Hughes: Three-point effort in overtime loss
Hughes scored a goal on five shots and added two assists in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Senators.
Hughes has three multi-point efforts over his last six outings. The 25-year-old defenseman did everything he could to keep the Canucks in this contest, and it was good enough for one point in the standings. Hughes is up to eight goals, 40 points, 108 shots on net, 29 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 33 appearances, giving him a chance to take a run at a 100-point season.

Thomas Chabot D | OTT
Senators' Thomas Chabot: Garners assist Saturday
Chabot notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
Chabot helped out on a Claude Giroux goal early in the first period. The 27-year-old Chabot has three points over his last four contests, but he was limited to just two assists across the prior 13 games, so there's some shakiness to his offense. The veteran blueliner has 16 points, 75 shots on net, 55 blocked shots, 26 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 33 outings this season.

Jake Sanderson D | OTT
Senators' Jake Sanderson: Racks up three points in OT win
Sanderson scored the game-winning goal, added two assists, fired three shots on net and blocked three shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canucks.
Sanderson earned his first multi-point effort since Nov. 25 versus the Flames. He assisted on second-period goals by Shane Pinto and Josh Norris, with the latter's tally being shorthanded. Sanderson then put the Canucks away with a goal 13 seconds into overtime. The 22-year-old defenseman has six points over his last six outings and a total of two goals, 18 assists, 69 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 33 contests. He's produced 12 power-play points and two shorthanded assists, but he's got enough talent to turn things around at even strength.
