Reaves sustained an injury to his left hand during Saturday's 4-1 loss to Philadelphia.

Reaves suffered the injury during the first period. He didn't take another shift after getting hurt, but he did remain on the bench. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky didn't have an update on Reaves' status after the game. If Reaves can't play Tuesday in Nashville, then Pavol Regenda will probably draw back into the lineup.

Rakell scored a goal and added another in the shootout in a 5-4 win over the Jets on Saturday.

The points extended Rakell's scoring streak to eight games and 10 points, including seven assists. Four of those helpers have come on the power play. Overall, Rakell has 14 goals, 21 assists and 127 shots in 48 games this season.

He now has put up points in 11 of his last 12 games (seven goals, nine assists). Overall, Rust has 56 points (26 goals, 30 assists; 162 shots) in 62 games this season. He has put up at least 56 points in each of his last three seasons and in five of his last seven.

Silovs made 21 saves in a 5-4 shootout win over the Jets on Saturday.

It was his second consecutive win. Silovs has been decent since the Olympic break, but your counting categories will determine his fantasy value. He is 5-2-0 with one shutout in seven starts. However, Silovs' save percentage in that span is just .884, courtesy of four games with at least four goals allowed.

Wotherspoon had two assists in a 5-4 shootout win over Winnipeg on Saturday.

Wotherspoon is on a four-game, six-assist scoring streak. He's been a bit of an offensive revelation this season. Wotherspoon has three goals and 23 assists in 69 games, which, when combined with 144 hits and 103 blocks, makes him a solid multi-category consideration for leagues that count those stats. He doesn't get power-play time, but those other stats will help regardless.

Brandsegg-Nygard (undisclosed) is slated to miss Saturday's game against Boston, per Max Bultman of The Athletic.

Brandsegg-Nygard also missed Detroit's previous three games. He has an assist in NHL 12 outings during the 2025-26 campaign. Brandsegg-Nygard participated in Saturday's morning skate and might serve in a bottom-six capacity once he's healthy.

Chinakhov had a goal and an assist in a 5-4 shootout win over the Jets on Saturday.

Chinakhov's goal, which opened the scoring, was his 100th career point in his 235th regular-season game. His assist in Saturday's contest gave him 30 points this campaign, setting a new career high. The winger has five points, four assists and 11 shots in his last four games.

Karlsson scored twice in a 5-4 shootout win over the Jets on Saturday.

Karlsson's second goal tied the game in the third period and forced overtime. It was his fifth goal in three games, and it extended his current scoring streak to four games and 10 points (five goals, five assists). Karlsson has been great this year, and he has taken his game to another level lately. He has 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists) in 11 games so far in March.

Stolarz was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons after being struck in the throat by the puck during the pregame warmups for Saturday's match in Ottawa.

Stolarz was originally projected to start Saturday, but this incident led to Joseph Woll getting the assignment instead. Stolarz has an 8-9-3 record, 3.34 GAA and .894 save percentage in 22 outings in 2025-26. If Stolarz isn't available for Tuesday's game in Boston, then the Maple Leafs might summon Dennis Hildeby from the minors.

Gibson is expected to start at home against Boston on Saturday, per Red Wings in-game host Kara Wolfbauer.

Gibson has a 26-15-3 record, 2.53 GAA and .907 save percentage in 46 outings in 2025-26. He's won his past two starts while stopping 57 of 60 shots (.950 save percentage). Boston ranks 10th in goals per game with 3.29 this season.
