Foligno (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Columbus, CHGO Sports reports.

Foligno has missed back-to-back games after getting hurt Thursday in Pittsburgh, but he'll more than likely avoid missing Chicago's final matchup prior to the Olympic break. The veteran forward has provided two goals, 10 points, 76 hits and a plus-2 rating while averaging 12:55 of ice time through 32 appearances in 2025-26.

Keller registered two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

Keller ended a four-game dry spell with assists on goals by Lawson Course and Nick Schmaltz. The 27-year-old Keller is up to 16 goals, 52 points, 149 shots on net and a plus-21 rating over 56 appearances this season. He's capable of long surges on offense, so getting back to a point-per-game pace isn't out of the question.

Marino notched three assists and a plus-4 rating in Monday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

That's four helpers in the last two contests for Marino, who has successfully shaken off a five-game slump. The 28-year-old defenseman won't always put up a lot of offense, but he's playing top-four minutes on a Mammoth team that hasn't had trouble filling the net. For the season, Marino is at a career-high 28 points (four goals, 24 assists) with 44 shots on net, 51 blocked shots and a plus-37 rating over 56 appearances.

Kasper scored a goal on two shots and added three hits in Monday's 2-0 win over the Avalanche.

Kasper's goal 33 seconds into the game guaranteed the Red Wings would be more productive than they were in a 5-0 loss to Colorado on Saturday. In the end, Kasper's goal was all Detroit needed in the win. He had gone three games without a point, but the slump hasn't cost him a top-line spot, giving him a chance to continue working on a second-half surge. He's at six goals, 13 points, 88 shots on net, 127 hits, 35 blocked shots, 29 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 56 appearances.

Kurashev notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

This was Kurashev's second outing since he returned from a 19-game absence due to an upper-body injury. The 26-year-old was able to get on the scoresheet against his former team. He's at 16 points in 33 contests this season, compared to 14 points with a minus-28 rating in 51 appearances with the Blackhawks last year. Kurashev has found a steady middle-six role for the Sharks, though his play on offense is only good enough to help in deeper fantasy formats.

Mukhamadullin scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Mukhamadullin has played in two games since returning from an 11-game absence. The 24-year-old is filling a third-pairing role for now, though the Sharks have often shuffled their defensive duos this season, so he could earn a larger role. He's produced seven points, 22 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 25 appearances.

Smith scored a goal on three shots and went minus-2 in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Blackhawks.

Smith has three goals and five assists during his five-game point streak. The 20-year-old continues to thrive on the top line as he closes in on matching his rookie-year numbers. He's at 17 goals, 39 points, 101 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 41 appearances this season, compared to 18 goals and 45 points in 74 outings in 2024-25.

Dickinson notched two assists and a plus-3 rating in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Dickinson has three helpers over his last four games. The 30-year-old center has a total of 13 points, 50 shots on net, 45 hits, 33 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 42 outings. He posted 16 points in 59 contests last season, so he's scoring at a slightly better pace in 2025-26. Dickinson remains in a shutdown role in Chicago's middle six.

Rinzel scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Rinzel is getting a chance to play in a top-four role and on the power play while Artyom Levshunov sits out to work on his skills outside of game action. This was Rinzel's second game back in the lineup after he was demoted to AHL Rockford in early December. The 21-year-old is up to two goals, nine points, 45 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 26 hits and 30 PIM over 30 appearances in the NHL this season. It's unclear if Rinzel will hold onto a regular role following the Olympic break, though he may be able to down the stretch if the Blackhawks deal away defensemen at the deadline.

Bedard scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Sharks.

Bedard has scored in three straight games, though this was his first power-play point since Jan. 10 versus the Predators. The 20-year-old has five points over his last four outings. He's up to a total of 23 goals -- matching his 82-game total from last year -- and 53 points in just 43 contests. He's added 142 shots on net, 32 PIM and an even plus-minus rating.
