Nylander scored a power-play goal on two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Devils.

Nylander has scored in three straight games, and his last two tallies have come with the man advantage. The 29-year-old winger continues to see plenty of premium ice time, and he's maintained a high standard on offense even as Toronto has struggled overall. Nylander has 21 goals, 57 points, 100 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 45 appearances this season.

Siegenthaler's point drought reached 11 games in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Siegenthaler is still playing regularly, but he's gone cold on offense. The Swiss defenseman also went scoreless in five games at the Olympics. For the season, he has just seven assists with 47 shots on net, 80 hits, 102 blocked shots, 44 PIM and a minus-12 rating. While he's been healthy this season, he's at risk of a third straight campaign under the 10-point mark.

Glendening has been a healthy scratch for the last six games after sitting out Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

There's no room for Glendening in the lineup, especially after Nick Bjugstad was acquired from the Blues on Feb. 4. Until an injury opens a spot, Glendening will likely remain in the press box. The 36-year-old has just four helpers with 30 shots on net, 66 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 52 appearances this season, so his time out of the lineup won't be noticed in fantasy.

Brown scored a goal on six shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Brown's tally with 2:21 left in the third period forced overtime, erasing the third deficit the Devils faced in the contest. The winger has a goal and three assists over his last three outings. He's up to 11 goals, 26 points, 79 shots on net, 30 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 55 appearances. He's getting ice time in all situations and should be able to provide some depth scoring in fantasy.

Cooley will patrol the home crease versus Ottawa on Thursday, according to Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan.

Cooley has been strong in limited action for the Flames, not allowing more than three goals since Dec. 10, a span of nine games. He is 7-6-4 with a gaudy 2.28 GAA and an equally impressive .922 save percentage. The Senators are generating 3.30 goals per game, which ranks 11th in the NHL this season.

Meier scored a goal on seven shots and blocked two shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Meier has three goals over his last five games, adding 27 shots on net, 12 hits and a plus-4 rating in that span. The winger looks to be rolling in a top-six role, setting him up for a good stretch run even though the Devils are unlikely to push for a playoff spot. Meier is at 17 goals, 31 points, 203 shots, 103 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-16 rating across 57 appearances.

Korpisalo will get the starting nod on the road against Nashville on Thursday, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Korpisalo has appeared in 23 games for the Bruins this year, posting an 11-8-2 record, 3.11 GAA and one shutout. With an upcoming back-to-back, the 31-year-old netminder figures to split the starts versus Washington and Pittsburgh on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, with Jeremy Swayman.

Aspirot (illness) did not accompany the team to Nashville and will miss Thursday's tilt versus the Predators, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Aspirot has two goals, six assists, 66 hits and 55 blocked shots with a stellar plus-23 rating over 40 games this season. Jordan Harris will enter the lineup, replacing Aspirot on Thursday. Aspirot could return as early as Saturday when Boston hosts Washington in a matinee contest.

Hintz (illness) is slated to return versus the Avalanche on Friday, Brien Rea of Victory+ reports.

Hintz will need to be activated off injured reserve before he can suit up, which should be a clear indicator that the 29-year-old center is ready to get back. In his last eight outings, Hintz has racked up one goal and seven helpers, including four power-play points.

Johansson (upper body) will not be available for the Wild's two-game road trip that begins Friday in Vegas, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

Johansson was injured in the third period Tuesday against Tampa Bay and did not return. The 35-year-old veteran has 13 goals and 26 assists across 57 appearances this season. Look for Michael McCarron to draw into the lineup in place of Johansson.
