Theodore logged two assists and three shots on goal in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Theodore helped out on both of Tomas Hertl's second-period tallies, the latter of which came on the power play. With a goal and five assists over his last four contests, Theodore continues to provide reliable offense. The 29-year-old blueliner has 39 points (16 on the power play), 89 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 45 outings overall.

Brisebois was loaned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Brisebois was a healthy scratch in the last three games. He hasn't earned a point in three NHL appearances this season while posting two shots on goal, four blocked shots and two hits. If Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) remains unavailable, Vancouver could recall Brisebois for defensive depth ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus the Sabres.

Sergachev (upper body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with Winnipeg, though it's unlikely he plays, Belle Fraser of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

It appears that Sergachev will likely miss a second game with an upper-body injury, though official confirmation on his status won't come until closer to game time. The 26-year-old blueliner has eight goals and 30 points through his first 44 games with Utah. Nick DeSimone will likely remain in the lineup if Sergachev sits.

Pelech notched an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

Pelech ended a five-game slump with the helper on a Brock Nelson tally in the second period. For the season, Pelech has eight assists, 52 shots on net, 39 hits and 39 blocked shots through 25 contests. The 30-year-old remains in a top-four role on defense, but he's more of a shutdown player than a scorer.

Miller produced an assist in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

Miller missed the previous five games due to a fractured larynx suffered versus the Red Wings on Jan. 4. The 32-year-old returned to a third-pairing role, but his spot in the lineup is likely up for grabs. Ville Heinola was the scratch on defense Saturday, and Haydn Fleury (lower body) will also be in the mix for playing time once he's activated from injured reserve. Miller has nine points, 40 shots on net, 46 hits, 29 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 35 appearances this season, but he may be heading toward a part-time role once the Jets are at full strength.

Stanley notched an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Flames.

Stanley picked up his first point since he closed December with a helper in three straight games. The 26-year-old defenseman has held a steady third-pairing role recently. He'll get a little pressure from Ville Heinola for that spot, and the competition will increase once Haydn Fleury (lower body) returns from injured reserve. Stanley plays more of a physical game, earning eight points, 40 hits, 50 blocked shots, 61 PIM and a plus-6 rating across 33 appearances this season.

Brown was loaned to AHL Bakersfield on Sunday.

Brown has one assist, five shots on goal, 11 blocked shots, 13 hits and nine PIM in eight NHL appearances this season. He has played in five of the last seven games. If Edmonton leaves Brown in the minors ahead of Tuesday's game versus Washington, Jeff Skinner or Kasperi Kapanen could return to the lineup.

Chychrun scored a goal on five shots, added two hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

Chychrun has picked up two goals and four assists over nine outings in January. The 26-year-old defenseman opened the scoring in Saturday's contest. For the season, he's up to 13 goals, 31 points, 98 shots on net, 30 hits, 52 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-19 rating. Among NHL blueliners, only Zach Werenski and Cale Makar have more goals -- both have scored 15 times in 2024-25.

Lilleberg notched an assist, three hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Red Wings.

Lilleberg had a shot bounce off the boards, leading to a Brayden Point goal on the rebound just 2:02 into the first period. This was Lilleberg's second assist over the last four contests. Two of his three highest ice-time totals have been in the last two games, likely in part due to Erik Cernak (undisclosed) missing most of Thursday's game against the Ducks before sitting out Saturday's contest altogether. Lilleberg is at 10 helpers, 24 shots on net, 74 hits, 72 PIM, 34 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 41 outings this season.

Rutta posted an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Islanders.

Rutta nabbed the primary assist on San Jose's lone goal in the loss, scored by Barclay Goodrow. Rutta has gotten on the scoresheet in two of his last three games, and through eight appearances in January, he's logged one goal, two assists and a minus-2 rating. The 6-foot-3 blueliner provides value in the form of blocked shots, but he shouldn't warrant much fantasy consideration outside of deeper formats. Rutta has two goals, eight points and a minus-6 rating through 48 outings on the season.
