Zibanejad scored a power-play goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Jets.

Zibanejad has scored in three straight games and has five goals and six assists over his last eight outings. The tally gave him a 30-goal campaign for the fourth time in his career. He's up to 67 points (30 on the power play), 183 shots on net, 91 hits, 45 blocked shots and a minus-21 rating through 69 appearances this season. He is slated to play in his 1,000th regular-season game Monday versus the Senators, who drafted him sixth overall in 2011.

Lowry scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Rangers.

Lowry ended a 24-game goal drought with his first-period tally. He had seven assists, 26 shots on net, 50 hits and a minus-5 rating in that span. Lowry remains a key part of the Jets' middle six as a defensive presence. He has accumulated five goals, 19 points, 61 shots on net, 119 hits, 38 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 58 appearances this season.

Svechkov signed a two-year, $2.5 million contract extension with Nashville on Monday.

Svechkov has accounted for three goals, 13 points, 60 shots on net and 51 hits in 58 games for the Predators this season. He also has five goals and three assists in 10 outings with AHL Milwaukee during the 2025-26 campaign.

Askarov (lower body) is slated to be available for Tuesday's road game against Nashville after Laurent Brossoit was assigned to AHL San Jose on Monday, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The 23-year-old has missed the last six games due to a lower-body injury, but Brossoit's demotion signals that Askarov should at least be available as a backup against the Predators. Askarov has made five appearances since the Olympic break, going 2-2-1 with a 3.78 GAA and .871 save percentage.

Brossoit was assigned to AHL San Jose on Monday.

Yaroslav Askarov (lower body) participated in Monday's practice and appears to be ready to return to the lineup in Tuesday's road matchup against Nashville. During his lone NHL appearance during his stint with the big club, Brossoit allowed six goals on 23 shots in a 7-4 loss to Ottawa on March 12.

Sandin-Pellikka was assigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Monday.

Sandin-Pellikka has been a healthy scratch for seven straight games, and he will probably get into a game or two at the AHL level. However, it's unclear if he will return to the NHL immediately afterward. He has accounted for six goals, 19 points, 62 shots on net and 51 blocked shots across 63 appearances with the Red Wings this season.

Reaves (hand) didn't participate in Monday's practice and is week-to-week, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

It's unclear if Reaves will return before the end of the regular season. He sustained the injury in a fight with Philadelphia's Garrett Wilson on Saturday. The 39-year-old Reaves has three goals, 25 shots on net, 160 hits and 37 PIM across 50 appearances this campaign.

The Kraken announced Monday that Winterton (illness) will take a temporary leave of absence from the team to attend to a family matter.

Winterton had missed the last two games due to an illness, and he'll now miss some more time due to a personal matter. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action, but Jani Nyman should continue to see increased playing time in his absence.

Stolarz (throat) will be available for Tuesday's road matchup against Boston, Mark Masters of TSN reports.

Stolarz missed his scheduled start in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Ottawa after taking a puck to the throat during the pregame warmups. However, he participated in Monday's practice and feels good to go. Stolarz should return to the crease against Boston on Tuesday or versus the Rangers on Wednesday.

Samoskevich (neck) is expected to miss 7-10 days, Jameson Olive of the Panthers' official site reports Monday.

Samoskevich sat out Friday's 4-1 loss to Calgary after a skate cut the back of his neck in Thursday's 4-0 win over Edmonton. He has contributed six goals, 23 points, 139 shots on net and 123 hits across 66 appearances this season.
