Dvorak scored a power-play goal on three shots and blocked two shots in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.

Dvorak ended a 10-game goal drought when he tied the game at 1-1 late in the first period. Dvorak is up to 13 goals and 37 points in just 59 outings this season, putting him on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the first time in his career. He'll need a run of consistency to exceed his career high of 18 goals from 2019-20 with the Coyotes. Dvorak is in a position to succeed for the Flyers, serving firmly in a top-line role.

Gavrikov scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Blue Jackets.

Gavrikov tallied early in the third period, igniting a four-goal rally for the Rangers. This was his 10th goal of the season, making this the first year he's reached double digits. The 30-year-old blueliner is at 23 points, 90 shots on net, 87 blocked shots, 38 hits, 32 PIM and a minus-16 rating over 60 appearances. While he has been good, Adam Fox is healthy again, so Gavrikov is poised to take on more defensive assignments down the stretch.

Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.

Olivier has five goals and two assists over his last eight contests, though this was his first goal since the Olympic break. Expect offense to come in inconsistent bursts for the 29-year-old winger, who doesn't see power-play time. Olivier is at nine goals, 18 points, 63 shots on net, 167 hits, 62 PIM and a plus-9 rating across 46 appearances this season, mainly in a third-line role.

Monahan scored a shorthanded goal on three shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.

Monahan picked up his first point in three games since the Olympic break. The 31-year-old center hadn't scored a shorthanded goal since the 2023-24 campaign with the Canadiens, though he had three helpers on the penalty kill last year. Monahan has been limited to 11 goals, 28 points, 92 shots on net and a plus-1 rating over 55 appearances this season, cutting his production in half compared to his 57-point effort over 54 outings a year ago.

Fantilli scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Rangers.

Fantilli's assist was added after a late scoring change, giving him credit for the secondary helper on Kirill Marchenko's goal in overtime. That puts him at 41 points in 59 outings this season, including five over three contests since the Olympic break. Fantilli has taken on a top-line role and looks up to the task as he continues to gain experience in his third NHL campaign. He's added 156 shots on net, 98 hits, 39 blocked shots, 21 PIM and a minus-10 rating this season.

Parayko (back) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's game in Seattle, per Lou Korac of NHL.com.

Head coach Jim Montgomery said Tuesday that Parayko is feeling better and is with the team on its road trip, though he won't be an option for Wednesday's game. Following that matchup, the Blues will play in San Jose on Friday and in Anaheim on Sunday, so Parayko may return to the lineup sometime before the team returns to St. Louis.

Marchessault scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Marchessault's tally at 7:10 of the second period briefly put the Predators ahead 2-1, but that was where their offense stalled out for the game. The 35-year-old winger had been held scoreless for the previous two contests. He's now at 11 goals, 18 points, 95 shots on net, 53 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-18 rating over 41 appearances in a top-six role.

Gustavsson will protect the home net against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

Gustavsson stopped 21 of the 23 shots he faced in Sunday's 3-1 loss to St. Louis, with the third goal being an empty-netter. He has a 21-10-6 record during the 2025-26 campaign with three shutouts, a 2.58 GAA and a .909 save percentage across 38 appearances. Tampa Bay ranks second in the league with 3.53 goals per game this season.

Head coach John Hynes said Tuesday that Foligno (lower body) is week-to-week, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

Hynes also noted that Foligno's injury is not season-ending, but the veteran winger is set to have his injury evaluated by another doctor Tuesday. Robby Fabbri, who was claimed off waivers by the Wild on Monday, will probably play regularly for the duration of Foligno's absence.

Forsberg scored a power-play goal on six shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

Forsberg has two goals on 14 shots over three games since the Olympics. The Swedish winger was hot before the break with 15 points over 11 contests. Overall, he's up to 26 goals, 49 points, 187 shots on net, 107 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 60 appearances.
