LaCombe distributed two assists and dished out three hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

LaCombe picked up a helper on each of the Ducks' last two goals Monday, including a secondary assist on Leo Carlsson's game-tying goal in the third period. With the pair of helpers, LaCombe is up to 44 assists, 53 points, 142 shots on net, 67 hits and 121 blocked shots across 74 games this season. Since the calendar flipped to 2026, the 25-year-old defenseman has stepped up his game with at least a point in 25 of the 33 games he has played. In that span, he has 27 assists, 30 points and 52 shots on goal to go along with his strong category-coverage numbers of 31 hits and 52 blocked shots. The young blueliner has a bright future in Anaheim and should remain involved in all phases of the game, giving him strong fantasy value in most league formats.

Gadjovich (upper body) is not expected to suit up again this season, per Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site on Tuesday.

Gadjovich hasn't been in the lineup since late October. The 27-year-old appeared in only 10 games in 2025-26, chipping in three helpers, 30 hits and a plus-2 rating. It remains to be seen how he has been progressing in his recovery.

Boeser scored a power-play goal on three shots and added three hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Boeser found the back of the net at the 12:17 mark of the second period, giving the Canucks a 2-1 lead that they'd waste in the final 30 minutes of the contest. Boeser has two goals in his last four games and has been one of the few standout players for the Canucks in recent weeks. Over his last nine outings, the 29-year-old winger has 10 points (three goals, seven assists), 22 shots on goal, five hits and two blocked shots.

Reinhart (foot) is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season, according to Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site on Tuesday.

The Panthers have been dealing with a slew of injuries, and Reinhart is one of several players who will likely be shut down for the rest of this year. The goal-scoring winger will conclude the 2025-26 campaign with 29 markers, including six game-winners, 61 points (25 on the power play), 166 shots and a minus-18 rating over 64 appearances. While it's not currently known how his recovery process is going, Reinhart should have more than enough time to be ready for the start of training camp in September ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Carlson scored a goal, fired four shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto.

Carlson stayed hot Monday with his first goal since returning from a lower-body injury on March 15. Over his last six games, the 36-year-old blueliner has eight assists, nine points, 17 shots on net and 12 blocks. Overall, he has 11 goals, 55 points, 136 shots on net and 98 blocked shots across 63 games this season. The 17-year NHL veteran has cemented his role in Anaheim as the lead defenseman on his new team's power play. Carlson is on pace for his first 60-plus-point regular season since the 2021-22 campaign, making him an excellent fantasy option in all leagues for the remainder of the fantasy playoffs.

Greaves is scheduled to start at home against the Hurricanes on Tuesday, per Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Greaves has posted a rock-solid 1.99 GAA and .925 save percentage over his last four appearances, but he's just 1-2-1 during that time. This will be the Ontario native's third start against the Hurricanes this season -- he posted a 28-save win against them March 17, though he was on the hook for a 4-1 loss in Raleigh on Dec. 9.

Carlsson scored two goals, fired four shots on net, recorded two blocked shots and had two PIM in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to Toronto.

Carlsson's second goal put the Ducks up 3-1 just over the midway point in the second period. Overall, the 21-year-old center is up to 26 goals, 63 points, 159 shots on net and 22 blocked shots through 62 games this season. Since March 15, he's tallied five goals and compiled 11 points over eight games. He's heating back up at the right time and has a chance to reach the 70-point mark for the first time in his three-year NHL career.

Lohrei (upper body) isn't an option for Tuesday's home contest versus the Stars, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports.

Lohrei will miss his second consecutive game and remains day-to-day at this time. The left-shot defenseman will replace Henri Jokiharju or Andrew Peeke in the lineup once he's deemed healthy enough to suit up.

Gaudette scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

This was Gaudette's third goal and fourth point since the beginning of March, and while it's hard to ask for a lot of fantasy production from a fourth-line forward, it's clear the 29-year-old forward came through when the Sharks needed him the most. He scored the game-winning goal with a wrister with 22 seconds left in the game. However, with only 16 goals and 24 points across 59 regular-season appearances, Gaudette doesn't have a lot of fantasy appeal in most formats, especially with the regular season entering its final stretch.

Celebrini had two goals, including one on the power play, and added a power-play assist in Monday's 5-4 win over the Blues.

Celebrini has posted back-to-back multi-point performances, and this dominant effort Monday allowed him to clear the 100-point threshold for the first time in his career. The 19-year-old star center has been one of the best forwards in the league this season and has joined an exclusive group since only three other players have reached the 100-point mark this season: Connor McDavid (124), Nikita Kucherov (121) and Nathan MacKinnon (120). Celebrini, who has 19 points in 15 games since the beginning of March, will look to end the regular season on a strong note while carrying the Sharks in their playoff push for one of the two wild-card spots in the Western Conference.
