    Mammoth's Clayton Keller: Snaps goal drought

    Keller scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Stars.

    Keller snapped a five-game goal drought with a snap shot at the 12:11 mark of the first period to even the score 1-1. The marker was Keller's 20th goal of the season, and it allowed him to also end a three-game point skid. Despite the cold streak of late, Keller remains one of Utah's best players and has 65 points (20 goals, 45 assists) in 68 games this season.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Dealing with lower-body injury

    Eriksson Ek won't suit up Tuesday in Chicago due to a lower-body injury and is day-to-day, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

    Even though Smith reports that Eriksson Ek is day-to-day, general manager Bill Guerin said that the Swedish center will likely miss at least three games, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic. Robby Fabbri will draw back into the lineup Tuesday, while Hunter Haight was brought up from the minors to provide depth up front as a result of Eriksson Ek's absence.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Starting in Chicago

    Gustavsson will defend the road net against the Blackhawks on Tuesday, according to Joe Smith of The Athletic.

    Gustavsson's stretch of solid play between the pipes came to a halt Saturday against the Rangers, a game in which he surrendered four goals on 18 shots in a 4-2 loss. The Swedish netminder has registered a 24-11-6 record with four shutouts, a 2.50 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 42 appearances this season. Gustavsson has a favorable matchup against a Blackhawks club that sits 30th in the NHL with 2.61 goals per game in 2025-26.

  • Maple Leafs' Oliver Ekman-Larsson: Status uncertain for Tuesday

    Ekman-Larsson (personal) is expected to be a game-time decision Tuesday against the Islanders, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

    Per Masters, Ekman-Larsson is resting after welcoming his child into the world and will provide the team with an update on his status later Tuesday. Troy Stecher might come out of the lineup if Ekman-Larsson suits up against the Isles.

  • Nick Jensen D | OTT

    Senators' Nick Jensen: Undergoing knee surgery

    Jensen will undergo knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus and will be out for approximately six weeks, per TSN 1200 Ottawa on Tuesday.

    Jensen may have played his last game this season, as the Senators have an uphill battle to make the playoffs. With his six-week timeline, he wouldn't be available until at least the end of April, so he'll end the regular season with four goals, 17 points, 65 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 61 appearances.

  • Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Expected to face Nashville

    Hellebuyck is slated to draw the home start against the Predators on Tuesday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

    Hellebuyck got the day off Sunday against St. Louis after appearing in eight straight games since Feb. 27. He was 4-2-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .905 save percentage during that time. Hellebuyck has been excellent in his career against Tuesday's opponent -- he has an 18-9-2 record, 2.38 GAA and .928 save percentage over 30 regular-season outings against the Predators. Hellebuyck also turned aside 30 of 31 shots in a 4-1 home win over Nashville on Oct. 18.

  • Jakub Dobes G | MON

    Canadiens' Jakub Dobes: Patrolling home blue paint Tuesday

    Dobes will be between the home pipes in Tuesday's divisional meeting versus Boston.

    Dobes has had mixed results lately -- he's 3-2-0 with a 3.05 GAA and an .887 save percentage over his last five outings. The 24-year-old will take on a team that has struggled away from TD Garden, as the Bruins are 12-14-6 on the road this season. This will be the fourth matchup between Boston and Montreal in 2025-26, though Dobes has yet to face the Bruins in his career.

  • Wild's Hunter Haight: Brought up from Iowa

    Haight was recalled from AHL Iowa on Tuesday.

    Haight has not produced a point over five appearances with the Wild this season. The 2022 second-round selection, No. 47 overall, has banked 12 goals and 11 helpers over 43 appearances with the minor-league club in 2025-26. He'll provide depth for Minnesota while the team deals with a couple of injuries up front.

  • Joseph Woll G | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Joseph Woll: Drawing home start

    Woll will occupy the home crease Tuesday against the Islanders, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    Woll has picked up just one victory across his last six outings, going 1-4-1 with a 3.77 GAA and an .890 save percentage since the NHL resumed play following the Olympic break. The Islanders have netted 11 goals over their last four games, a stretch in which they are 3-1-0. Woll didn't fare well against the Isles in a start against them earlier this year, conceding four goals on 25 shots in a 4-3 overtime loss, though that game was on Long Island.

  • Flames' Matthew Coronato: One of each in loss

    Coronato scored a goal, supplied an assist and fired four shots on net in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Red Wings.

    Coronato snapped a nine-game point drought with his pair of points in Tuesday's contest. Overall, the 23-year-old winger is up to 15 goals, 17 assists and 165 shots on net across 66 games this season. The young winger has flashed his strong potential at times this season, with Tuesday's multi-point game being no exception. His shot volume has been strong since the Olympic break, with 28 shots on net over 11 games. He should continue to serve as a top-six winger for the Flames for the foreseeable future, and he remains a solid player to own in dynasty fantasy leagues moving forward.
