Benn scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-0 win over the Sharks.

Benn helped set up Miro Heiskanen's goal late in the first period before getting on the board himself at 6:19 of the second, jamming home a feed from Jason Robertson to extend Dallas' advantage to 3-0. It was the first multi-point performance of the season for Benn, who skated on the top line alongside Robertson and Roope Hintz as the Stars picked up their first victory of the campaign. He should continue to have plenty of opportunities to score moving forward as long as he stays healthy and in a top-six role, as the Stars have one of the deepest forward lines in the Western Conference.

Murashov stopped 30 of 33 shots in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets.

Murashov got the start after Arturs Silovs allowed five goals on 25 shots in Saturday's overtime win over Montreal, and while he responded with a .909 save percentage, it wasn't enough to lift the Penguins to victory here. Expect Murashov to return to his regular backup role when Pittsburgh takes on Washington on Wednesday.

Head coach Ryan Warsofsky said after Monday's 5-0 loss in Dallas that Celebrini (lower body) is being evaluated and will continue to be assessed Tuesday to see where he is at, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Warsofsky added that Celebrini is with the team and did not leave American Airlines Center after being a late scratch Monday. Ty Dellandrea made his season debut as a result of Celebrini's injury, while Alexander Wennberg centered the top line, though Warsofsky did a lot of line juggling throughout Monday's game due to the Sharks being thoroughly outplayed. If Celebrini is forced to miss any time, Wennberg will have heightened fantasy value, and Michael Misa should see an increased role as well. San Jose's next game is in St. Louis on Thursday.

Stevenson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Stevenson was beaten only by Ben Kindel in the second period and Declan Carlile in the third, keeping Winnipeg within striking distance until the offense erupted for three goals in a span of 4:19 during the final frame. The 27-year-old also protected the one-goal advantage late, denying Evgeni Malkin from the high slot in the closing seconds. Stevenson earned the victory in his Jets debut while making his sixth career NHL start, but he should remain Winnipeg's No. 2 option between the posts behind Stuart Skinner while Connor Hellebuyck (suspension) remains away from the team.

Carlile scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Jets. He also blocked three shots.

Carlile was involved directly in both of Pittsburgh's goals, earning the primary assist on Ben Kindel's second-period tally before scoring from the slot to tie the game at 2-2 with 11:07 remaining. The defenseman has enjoyed a tremendous start to his Penguins tenure, scoring in consecutive games and cracking the scoresheet in each of his first three regular-season appearances. Carlile has already surpassed his scoring output from the 2025-26 season, when he had just one goal across 42 regular-season contests with the Lightning.

Iafallo scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Iafallo sparked Winnipeg's third-period comeback, tying the game at 4:43 before setting up Adam Lowry's go-ahead tally just over two minutes later. Both points came after coach Scott Arniel shuffled his bottom-nine combinations and moved Iafallo alongside Lowry and Isak Rosen. The veteran winger had been held without a point through Winnipeg's first two contests before breaking through with a multi-point effort Monday. However, as a bottom-six forward who had just 29 points across 79 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, Iafallo isn't expected to carry a ton of fantasy appeal in most formats.

Perfetti scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Perfetti broke a 2-2 tie just nine seconds after Declan Carlile had pulled Pittsburgh even in the third period, blasting home a feed from Josh Morrissey. The 24-year-old has opened the campaign in excellent form, producing two goals and three assists through three contests. Perfetti has found the scoresheet in each game and is seeing a prominent role alongside Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor on Winnipeg's top line.

Ullmark (undisclosed) departed Monday's 4-1 win over the Bruins after tweaking something, though head coach Travis Green said the netminder was pulled from the game for precautionary reasons, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Ullmark stopped all 10 shots he faced before being replaced by Samuel Ersson at the start of the third period. The 33-year-old Ullmark was nicked up after a collision in the blue paint with Boston's JJ Peterka. Green said postgame that Ullmark will continue to be evaluated. Ottawa will continue its road trip in the second half of a back-to-back Tuesday in Detroit. Ullmark should be considered questionable, at best, for that matchup at this time, but it would not be surprising to see Ersson draw the start Tuesday.

Dickinson (foot) is working his way toward full health and might make his season debut in Anaheim on Wednesday, per Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site.

Dickinson skated between Trent Frederic and Kasperi Kapanen on the second line during Monday's practice, which is a good indication that Dickinson is closing on being ready to suit up in a game. According to Umbach, Dickinson's teammates and head coach Mike Babcock are hoping the 31-year-old center will be ready for Wednesday's road divisional matchup against the Ducks. Dickinson will certainly help the Oilers defensively once he's in the lineup, as Edmonton has struggled in its own zone to begin the year. The Ontario native missed the entirety of training camp, however, so it may take him a bit to get up to game speed.

Celebrini will miss Monday's road matchup against the Stars with a lower-body injury.

Celebrini took part in line rushes and the majority of warm-ups before he left the ice a few minutes early. Ultimately, the 20-year-old superstar deemed it was best to err on the side of caution early in the season and will sit out Monday. Prior to the injury news, he was off to a solid start to the 2026-27 campaign with five assists and nine shots on net across two outings. His status will be closely monitored over the coming days ahead of the Sharks' next contest on Thursday against the Blues.
