Mitch Marner Extends Personal Point Streak to 10 Games
Vegas Golden Knights forward Mitch Marner extended his personal point streak to 10 games with a two-assist effort in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to Boston. He produced a power-play helper in the second period and an even-strength assist in the third. Marner's prolific 10-game run includes five multi-point performances. Despite missing two games for personal reasons a couple of weeks ago, Marner leads Vegas with 15 assists and has totaled 17 points in 14 appearances. He faces three more games this week, starting with Tuesday's clash against Pittsburgh.

Matthew Poitras Exits Early Monday
Boston Bruins center Matthew Poitras (undisclosed) was limited to 3:13 of ice time in Monday's 3-2 shootout victory over Vegas. In the first period, he took an elbow to the face from Golden Knights forward Braeden Bowman, who was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct. After a trip to the locker room, Poitras returned to the Bruins' bench sporting a full bubble shield, but he was done for the night after only five shifts. Poitras has done well in a limited role this season, notching seven points (four goals, three assists) in 12 games despite averaging fewer than 10 minutes of ice time.

Patrick Kane Facing Multi-Game Absence
Chicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) could miss the rest of the week after being hurt in Monday's loss to Colorado. He suffered an upper-body injury in the second period. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said after the game that Kane "will miss the next couple games, for sure." Kane, who will turn 38 in a couple of weeks, has tallied nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 15 games this season. He's been Chicago's most creative player, leading the team in assists. Teuvo Teravainen could play a bigger role with Kane out, though he's been off form in 2026-27 and isn't a must-add player in fantasy.

Josh Morrissey Could Return Sunday
Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (wrist) could be back in the lineup on Sunday against Tampa Bay. He has missed 11 games after a wrist injury. The Jets will be without Morrissey for at least two more games. Winnipeg has lost nine straight outings and badly needs some help. Morrissey's return would boost the team at both ends of the ice. The 31-year-old has recorded three assists and five blocks in four appearances this season. The Jets went 3-0-1 with Morrissey in the lineup at the start of the season. Dylan Samberg has been on the first defensive unit during Morrissey's absence, while Neal Pionk has worked with the top power-play unit.

Evan Rodrigues Sits Out Practice Due to Illness
New Jersey Devils forward Evan Rodrigues (illness) didn't practice on Monday, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. He was feeling under the weather, and it's unclear whether Rodrigues will recover quickly enough to play in Tuesday's game against Edmonton. Rodrigues has recorded five points (two goals, three assists) and 20 hits through his first 14 outings with the Devils. For a third-line player, these are decent numbers, though it must be noted that Rodrigues has been on the score sheet just three times.

Dawson Mercer Dealing With Upper-Body Injury
Winnipeg Jets forward Dawson Mercer (upper body) sat out Monday's practice, leaving his status uncertain for Tuesday's contest against Montreal. Mercer made his fifth appearance for his new team on Sunday against Carolina. He is still seeking his first goal but has two assists. The former Devil could be replaced on Tuesday by Cole Koepke (undisclosed), who sat out Sunday's game. Meanwhile, Nino Niederreiter and Isak Rosen are candidates for more prominent roles. However, with the Jets on a nine-game losing streak, many players lack fantasy appeal.

A.J. Greer Moved to Injured Reserve
Anaheim Ducks left wing A.J. Greer (upper body) was placed on Injured Reserve Monday. He's set to miss at least four games after suffering an upper-body injury in Sunday's loss to Ottawa. Greer ranks third on his team with 36 hits and has notched six points (four goals, two assists) in 13 games. The Ducks recalled Nico Myatovic from the minors to fill the gap in the lineup. Myatovic is awaiting his NHL debut after putting up eight points (five goals, three assists) in 11 AHL appearances this season.

Logan O'Connor Available Against Blackhawks
Colorado Avalanche right wing Logan O'Connor (personal) will return to action on Monday against Chicago. He missed Saturday's matchup with Calgary to attend his father's memorial service. O'Connor made his season debut just a couple of weeks ago and has no points in three games. The 30-year-old plays an important role on the penalty kill but is limited to fourth-line minutes at even strength, meaning he doesn't offer much to fantasy teams. Gavin Brindley filled O'Connor's spot in the lineup against Calgary, but Colorado sent him back to the AHL on Sunday.

Evgeni Malkin Misses Practice With Lower-Body Injury
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin (lower body) wasn't available for Monday's practice. He has been labeled day-to-day with a lower-body injury, leaving him questionable for Tuesday's contest against Vegas. Malkin has done a decent job in his 21st NHL campaign, recording 11 points (six goals, five assists) in 13 games. While losing Malkin would be a major blow for Pittsburgh, Justin Brazeau (lower body) is available for his season debut Tuesday. On Monday, the Penguins recalled Brazeau from a conditioning stint in the AHL, where he notched one assist in two games.

Jacob Markstrom Back in Action Monday
Florida Panthers goaltender Jacob Markstrom (upper body) will return to the crease on Monday against Detroit. He's been unavailable for five games since sustaining an upper-body injury at practice. Markstrom's second stint in Florida is off to a good start. He carries a 3-1-1 record and has posted a 2.21 goals-against average, a .897 save percentage, and one shutout. On Monday, Markstrom faces a dangerous Detroit team that has averaged 3.57 goals over the last seven games.

Bowen Byram Remains Out Monday
Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Bowen Byram (upper body) will miss an eighth straight game on Monday against Colorado. Byram has been back on the ice lately, but he's been wearing a non-contact jersey and hasn't been medically cleared to return. In his first year in Chicago, Byram has appeared in only six games, producing one assist. The 25-year-old averages nearly 25 minutes of ice time and will be under pressure to increase his offensive production once he's back in the lineup, having signed a huge six-year, $75 million contract extension in the offseason.

Claude Giroux Notches Two Points Sunday
Ottawa Senators forward Claude Giroux registered a goal and an assist against Anaheim on Sunday in a 6-3 loss. Led by Giroux, the Senators raced to a three-goal lead in the first period, but the Ducks staged a stunning comeback. Giroux ended a three-game scoring drought and recorded his second multi-point performance of the season. Although Giroux is only a few weeks away from his 39th birthday, he continues to make a positive impact in Ottawa. The 20-year veteran has amassed 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 16 games this season, leading all forwards on his team with a plus-seven rating.

Cutter Gauthier Nets Hat Trick in Comeback Win
Anaheim Ducks forward Cutter Gauthier scored a hat trick in Sunday's 6-3 victory over Ottawa. His even-strength goal in the second period sparked a comeback from a 3-0 deficit, and Gauthier had two power-play goals in the third, including the game-winner. He joined Paul Kariya as the only two Ducks players to record multiple hat tricks before age 23. Fantasy managers who were patient with Gauthier during his dry spell last month have been handsomely rewarded. Anaheim's rising star has scored five goals across the last two games and has strung together a four-game point streak. Gauthier has 12 points (seven goals, five assists) in 13 games this season and is tied for the league lead with six power-play goals.

Logan Cooley Remains Hot in Front of Goal
Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley scored in a third consecutive game on Sunday against Philadelphia, adding an assist in a 6-3 loss. Cooley helped Dmitri Simashev score an even-strength goal in the first period and popped up with a power-play marker in the third. He has potted five goals in total during his current streak and has seven goals in his last five outings. Early in the season, Cooley has been a point-per-game player, with eight goals and nine assists in 15 games. He's taken his game to a new level and has a chance to match his career-best goal streak when the Utah faces Toronto on Tuesday night.

Maxim Shabanov Pots Another Goal Sunday
Minnesota Wild right wing Maxim Shabanov scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 5-1 win over Washington, marking his third goal in four games. Shabanov's offseason move to Minnesota flew under the radar after his disappointing campaign with the New York Islanders, but he's starting to draw attention. In 15 outings, the Russian forward has tallied five goals and 10 points. Shabanov was highly prolific in the KHL before moving to North America. While he's unlikely to match that level of productivity in the NHL, Shabanov appears to have found his groove and has been an effective middle-six piece for the Wild.

Evan Bouchard Tallies Three Points Against Rangers
Edmonton Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard had a goal and two assists as the team pushed aside the New York Rangers 4-1 on Sunday. He set up two even-strength goals in the first period and scored on the power play in the second. Another productive outing made Bouchard only the fourth defenseman in NHL history to record as many as 25 points through the first 15 games of a season. Bouchard boasts eight goals and 18 assists. He already has seven multi-point performances this season. Bobby Orr holds the NHL record for most points by a defenseman in a single season, with 139 in 1970-71. It's incredibly difficult to break, but Bouchard's current scoring rate exceeds Orr's.

Logan Stankoven Racks Up Three Points in Big Win
Carolina Hurricanes forward Logan Stankoven factored in three goals during Sunday's dominant 7-0 victory over Winnipeg. He had one goal and two assists, including a power-play helper. Stankoven became the 10th player in the league to reach double figures in goals this season. He's also had five assists in 16 games. Six of Stankoven's goals have come in his last six appearances. Even with Taylor Hall (upper body) on the shelf, Carolina's second line has continued to play well, keeping Stankoven's fantasy value high.

Pyotr Kochetkov Wins 10th Consecutive Start
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov remained undefeated on Sunday against Winnipeg, recording a 26-save shutout in a 7-0 victory. He set a new franchise record with a 10-game winning streak, becoming only the ninth netminder born outside North America to win 10 consecutive starts. After missing almost the entire 2025-26 campaign, Kochetkov was a fantasy afterthought heading into this season. But he's been spectacular so far, ranking among the top three in goalie wins (10), save percentage (.929), and goals-against average (1.49). Yet Kochetkov remains available in some fantasy leagues.

Matthew Wood Moves to Seattle
Forward Matthew Wood was traded from the Nashville Predators to the Seattle Kraken on Sunday in exchange for forward Shane Wright. The Predators decided to part ways with Wood after seeing his game stagnate this season. After a 30-point campaign, he's totaled only three points (one goal, two assists) in 14 games. Wright has also struggled to find form, so this transaction could benefit everyone involved. Wood is finishing his entry-level contract this season and will be a restricted free agent next summer unless the Kraken agree to a new deal with him.

Predators Acquire Shane Wright From Kraken
The Nashville Predators acquired forward Shane Wright from the Seattle Kraken on Sunday in exchange for forward Matthew Wood. After being the fourth-overall pick in 2022, Wright never got going in Seattle and now gets a fresh start. This season, Wright has scored three goals and four points in 14 games. Things started well for Wright, as he went scoreless only once in the first four games. However, he quickly lost momentum. Wright is in the final year of his entry-level contract and must improve his numbers in Nashville to earn a lucrative extension.

Kailer Yamamoto Day-to-Day With Upper-Body Injury
Utah Mammoth right wing Kailer Yamamoto (upper body) is day-to-day after exiting the lineup for Sunday's contest against Philadelphia. Yamamoto has surprised many with his production this season, but he's suffered a slight setback due to an upper-body injury. In nine outings, Yamamoto has notched seven points (three goals, four assists) while averaging two hits per game. Michael Carcone (upper body) filled Yamamoto's spot in the lineup Sunday after sitting out nine games. Yamamoto's first chance to return comes Tuesday night against Toronto.
