Steel logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Steel set up Wyatt Johnston's opening goal and helped out on Matt Duchene's empty-netter. With five points over his last three games, Steel is warming up, though he remains more of a versatile depth forward rather than a leader on offense. He's up to seven goals, 19 points, 48 shots on net, 47 hits, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 46 appearances. Steel is on pace to earn his first 30-point campaign.

Duchene scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Duchene's goal at 19:42 of the third period provided some extra security late in the contest for the Stars. He's earned two goals and three helpers over six outings in January after being limited to three points across 11 games in December. The 34-year-old center is up to 10 points, 28 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 21 outings in a season that's been disrupted by a long-term upper-body injury.

Terry (upper body) is a game-time call for Tuesday's home meeting with the Stars, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Terry missed the last two games of Anaheim's road trip in Raleigh and Buffalo due to his upper-body injury. The Colorado native worked on the fourth line during Tuesday's morning skate. Prior to getting hurt, Terry was in a groove with three goals and seven points across his last five outings, which came on the heels of a six-game stretch in which he had just one assist and a minus-5 rating.

Robertson scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Robertson broke a 1-1 tie at 16:14 of the third period, sending the Stars to their second win over the last three games. Even amid the team's recent struggles, Robertson has been pretty good with seven goals and 15 points over his last 11 outings. He's up to 27 goals, 55 points, 168 shots on net and a plus-21 rating through 46 contests this season as a key part of the Stars' top six.

Nelson scored a power-play goal on four shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Maple Leafs.

Nelson put the Avalanche ahead 2-1 late in the first period, though Bobby McMann pulled Toronto level in the second. With 13 goals and 20 points over his last 17 games, Nelson has found his groove on the Avalanche's second line and first power-play unit -- he has earned nine of those points with the man advantage. The 34-year-old center is at 22 goals, 38 points (11 on the power play), 98 shots on net, 36 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-11 rating through 45 appearances.

Cowan scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.

Cowan has scored three goals over the last four games despite playing in the bottom six. He's seen an uptick in power-play time on the second unit, though he hasn't earned a point with the man advantage all season. The 20-year-old winger is at seven goals, 14 points, 55 shots on net, 40 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 34 appearances.

Dostal will patrol the home crease against Dallas on Tuesday, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports.

Dostal has surrendered 29 goals on 194 shots over his last eight appearances (0-5-1). He has a 13-13-2 record this campaign with a 3.25 GAA and an .887 save percentage through 29 outings. Dallas sits third in the league with 3.41 goals per game this season.

McMann scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Avalanche.

McMann has slipped back into a fourth-line role, though he still saw 18:06 of ice time after Nicholas Robertson (lower body) exited early. The 29-year-old McMann's versatility is a gift and a curse -- he can play all over the lineup, but there's no top-six spot for him when the team is mostly healthy. He's on a heater with six goals and 10 points over his last 12 outings, giving him 14 goals, 24 points, 90 shots on net, 94 hits, 30 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 44 contests this season.

Foligno scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM, doled out three hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

Foligno has two goals and two assists over his last seven games for his best stretch of offense this season. While his tally Monday came on the power play, it was his first goal with the man advantage since 2021-22, as he rarely sees time in that situation. He's at six points, 39 shots on net, 36 PIM, 119 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 37 contests overall.

Ginning was loaned to AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Ginning was recalled from the minors Friday, but he'll return to the minors following a brief stint with the Flyers. The 2018 second-round pick's demotion might be an indication that Jamie Drysdale (upper body) will be ready for Wednesday's game against the Sabres. Ginning has a goal, three points, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 17 outings with the Phantoms in 2025-26.
