Acciari scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Acciari had a brief stint on the top line earlier in the season, but he's since returned to his usual fourth-line duties. The 34-year-old offers more physicality than offense, making him a risky option in most fantasy formats. Through 18 contests, he's earned three points, 17 shots on net, 40 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating.

Kartye scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

Kartye continues to impress from the Rangers' second line. He has two goals and two assists over his last four outings, and he's also starting to get into the power-play mix. The 25-year-old has earned five goals, seven assists, 26 shots on net, 46 hits and a plus-3 rating over 17 appearances. Kartye's physicality meshes well with J.T. Miller's playing style, giving the Rangers some all-around talent in the top six.

Perreault scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

Perreault snapped a five-game point drought with the goal. He's been shuffled down to the second line recently, swapping roles with Pavel Dorofeyev in an effort to get both wingers on track. Perreault is up to five goals, three assists, 35 shots on net, 12 hits and 11 blocked shots over 17 outings. He had 27 points in 49 regular-season games in 2025-26, but the key this year will be growing his offense while playing a full NHL schedule.

Dorofeyev scored a power-play goal on four shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

Dorofeyev's five-game point streak got snapped by the Blues on Tuesday, but he's right back at it with a goal against a division rival. The 26-year-old winger has found more consistency since mid-October, earning four goals and three assists over his last nine outings. He's at 10 points (five on the power play), 48 shots on net and a minus-15 rating through 17 contests this season.

Askarov will patrol the crease on the road versus the Wild on Friday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.

Askarov has been struggling for victories this season, winning just two of his last nine outings while posting a 3.28 GAA and .888 save percentage. Despite the slump, the 24-year-old netminder will make his third straight start while Alex Nedeljkovic serves as the No. 2 option.

Johansson (undisclosed) will be with the Red Wings for their upcoming four-game road trip, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports Friday.

Johansson may not be available at the start of the trip, but the fact that he will be with the team is a good indication that he'll return soon. The 25-year-old blueliner has already missed six games due to his undisclosed injury. In 11 outings prior to getting hurt, Johansson failed to find the back of the net while recording one assist, 14 shots and 12 blocks.

Greig (lower body) won't play in Saturday's game against the Mammoth, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Greig will be unavailable for a second consecutive game due to his lower-body injury, but head coach Travis Green said Friday that the 24-year-old won't be out for an extended period of time. It's not yet clear whether Greig will be available for Tuesday's game against Washington, but he remains day-to-day for now. Sammy Blais will likely remain in the lineup against Utah.

Ullmark (lower body) is not expected back for Saturday's clash with Utah, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Ullmark will be sidelined for his eighth consecutive game due to his upper-body problem. Still, the fact that the 33-year-old netminder was on the ice for Friday's practice is a good indication he'll be back sooner rather than later. In the meantime, Samuel Ersson should continue to see the bulk of the workload.

Greaves will tend the twine on the road versus Buffalo on Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Greaves is mired in a three-game losing streak during which he posted a 4.02 GAA and has managed just one victory in his prior seven contests. With the 25-year-old netminder struggling, the Jackets have turned to Cam Talbot and may continue to do so if Greaves struggles linger.

Rantanen scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Rantanen broke a scoreless tie midway through the third period, collecting a rebound from Wyatt Johnston's initial attempt. The winger extended his goal streak to three games and his point streak to four contests, accumulating three goals and two assists during that span. With nine goals this season and a central role in Dallas' offense, he remains a high-end fantasy option across all formats.
