Zacha scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers. He also recorded three hits and a blocked shot.

Zacha has been one of the most productive players for the Bruins in recent weeks, cracking the scoresheet in all but two of his last 13 games while earning 17 points (10 goals, seven assists) in that span. The 29-year-old forward has been deadly on the power play of late, as he's scored his last three goals -- all in Boston's last five games -- with the man advantage. Zacha has scored 11 of his 29 goals this season in power-play situations.

Korpisalo stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Korpisalo was beaten at the 4:19 mark of the first period and then held his own until overtime, when Porter Martone's first goal of the season gave Philadelphia the win. Korpisalo is the No. 2 option between the pipes for Boston, and while this outing was a strong showing overall, his recent performances haven't been good. In seven appearances since the Olympic break, the 31-year-old veteran has gone 3-1-3 with a 3.42 GAA and an .887 save percentage.

Hagel (lower body) won't play against Buffalo on Monday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Hagel will miss his third straight game, and it's unclear if he will be ready to play against Ottawa on Tuesday. He has generated 35 goals, 73 points and 205 shots on net across 69 appearances this season. Oliver Bjorkstrand has occupied a top-six role for the last two outings due to Hagel's absence.

Sabourin (undisclosed) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Sabres, Eduardo A. Encina of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Sabourin has missed the last two games due to his unspecified injury, but head coach Jon Cooper said after Monday's morning skate that the 33-year-old is "going to try" to play against Buffalo. Across 11 appearances since the Olympic break, Sabourin has recorded an assist, 28 hits, 26 PIM and three blocked shots while averaging 7:25 of ice time.

Barron (lower body) is week-to-week, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press on Monday.

Barron sustained the injury in Saturday's 2-1 win over Columbus. He didn't participate in Monday's practice and appears likely to miss the remainder of the regular season. Barron has accounted for 11 goals, 23 points, 92 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 132 hits across 65 appearances this campaign.

Gaucher was assigned to AHL San Diego on Monday.

Gaucher made his NHL debut against San Jose on Wednesday and played in Anaheim's last three games. He didn't earn a point with the big club while providing two shots on goal, six hits and one blocked shot. Gaucher has 12 goals and 14 assists in 57 AHL appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.

Romanov (shoulder) is expected to participate in contact drills during practices this week, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday on Monday.

Romanov might be available to return to the lineup before the end of the regular season. He has missed the last 58 games after having shoulder surgery in late November. Romanov has contributed one assist, 17 shots on goal, 31 blocked shots and 31 hits across 15 appearances this campaign.

Nyquist was practicing in a non-contact sweater ahead of Monday's game against the Kraken, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

It seems Nyquist is dealing with an undisclosed injury, and the fact that he's not cleared for contact effectively rules him out versus Seattle. The 36-year-old winger hasn't played in the Jets' last four outings, so it's possible he was dealing with this problem and not simply a healthy scratch. Even when healthy, Nyquist doesn't offer enough fantasy value to make him more than a low-end option.

Hellebuyck is expected to get the starting nod at home versus the Kraken on Monday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Since the Olympic break, Hellebuyck has appeared in 17 of the Jets' last 20 contests, going 8-5-4 with a 2.74 GAA. As long as the Jets have a chance at securing a playoff spot, Hellebuyck should continue to see the bulk of the workload.

Crosby tallied a goal on four shots and distributed two assists in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Panthers.

Crosby tallied a goal late in the opening period before later providing helpers on goals scored by Rickard Rakell and Bryan Rust. With the three-point outing, Crosby is up to 29 goals, 43 assists, 154 shots on net, 58 hits and 29 blocked shots across 66 games this season. Sunday's outing helped him secure 70-plus points for the fifth consecutive campaign. Since his return from a lower-body injury, he has recorded 13 points over his last 10 games. Crosby should continue to provide elite fantasy value for the remainder of the regular season.
