Couturier scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

Couturier has two goals and an assist over his last six games. He's played better coming out of the Olympic break, but he was on the fourth line Monday, which suggests his opportunities on offense may be limited going forward. Couturier has seven goals, 29 points, 98 shots on net, 67 hits and 36 blocked shots over 62 appearances this season.

Ingram will occupy the road net Tuesday against the Avalanche, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

Ingram has won back-to-back starts and three of his last four, but he's allowed at least four goals in two of those outings. The Saskatchewan native is 9-6-1 with a 2.78 GAA and an .892 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. The Avalanche are 23-4-4 at home and have generated 3.79 goals per game in 2025-26, which is the best mark in the NHL, so Ingram will be hard to trust Tuesday.

Michkov scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Monday's 6-2 loss to the Rangers.

Michkov was playing on his natural right wing Monday after a long look on his off wing. While he got a goal, his line with Noah Cates and Denver Barkey struggled at even strength. Michkov has suffered from the sophomore slump, earning 16 goals, 33 points, 125 shots on net, 51 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 62 appearances after his 26-goal, 63-point rookie campaign.

Robertson notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.

Robertson ended a six-game point drought with the helper. He continues to play regularly in a third-pairing role as he looks to finish the season strong to strengthen his position on the roster for 2026-27. The blueliner has 12 points, 55 shots on net, 81 hits, 64 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 53 appearances.

Gavrikov logged two assists and two PIM in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.

Gavrikov is on a five-game point streak, earning three goals and three assists in that span. The 30-year-old defenseman continues to trend toward a career year. He's at 27 points (12 goals, 15 helpers) with 94 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 36 PIM, 38 hits and a minus-14 rating over 63 appearances in a top-four role.

Laba scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.

Laba tallied just 1:04 into the game and assisted on a Tye Kartye goal late in the second period. With three points over his last two games, Laba appears to have some growing chemistry alongside Kartye in a third-line role. For the season, Laba is at 19 points, 57 shots on net, 86 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 60 appearances, emerging as a solid defensive forward in his rookie campaign.

Perreault scored a goal and added an assist, both on the power play, in Monday's 6-2 win over the Flyers.

Perreault has a pair of multi-point efforts over four contests in March. The 20-year-old forward is getting a look on the top line and first power-play unit, so he'll be an intriguing player in fantasy over the rest of the campaign if he can keep those roles. He's up to six goals, 13 points (four on the power play), 44 shots on net and a minus-3 rating through 30 appearances this season.

Werenski notched a power-play assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Kings.

Werenski missed three games due to an illness, so it may take some time for him to regain his strength. He's still a big factor in the Blue Jackets' system, both on offense and defense, so he'll continue to see significant ice time. The defenseman has 66 points (16 on the power play), 200 shots on net, 73 blocks and a plus-3 rating through 56 appearances.

Hofer will tend the home twine versus the Islanders on Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Hofer is currently playing at an extremely high level -- he's 4-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and a .962 save percentage over his last four starts. The Blues will also get a boost on the blue line Tuesday, as Colton Parayko (back) will return to the lineup. As for the Islanders, they are coming off a 2-1 overtime win in San Jose on Saturday after dropping the first two games of their road trip in Anaheim and Los Angeles.

McMann (not injury related) is still working through the visa process and won't be an option against Nashville on Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

McMann will miss his fourth straight game between his move to Seattle and having been held out by the Leafs prior to that. Once cleared to play, McMann should slot into a top-six role. He needs just two more goals to set a new personal best and top last season's 20 tallies.
