Utah Mammoth center Logan Cooley dominated against the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday night, finishing a 5-1 victory with four goals and one assist. He recorded his third career hat trick and became the first player in franchise history to score as many as four goals in a single game. Cooley's final two goals came with the Vegas net empty. This was a hugely impressive performance from the Pittsburgh-born forward, especially considering his recent dry spell. Across his previous 11 November appearances, Cooley had settled for four points. Cooley had a hot start to the campaign with 12 points in October, so the wheels fell off very suddenly. Following Monday night, Cooley is back to averaging nearly a point per game, boasting 13 goals and eight assists after 23 outings.

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Mathieu Olivier (upper body) left Monday's matchup against the Washington Capitals after logging only 4:49 of ice time. He sustained an upper-body injury in the first period. Olivier ranks just outside the top 10 in hits this season with 71. Across 23 games, he has also chipped in offensively, producing three goals and six assists. The Blue Jackets lost Kirill Marchenko (upper body) ahead of Monday's game and might now be without another top-nine piece on Wednesday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (upper body) may have to spend some time on the sidelines after getting hurt in Monday's loss to the Washington Capitals. He missed the final period of play due to an upper-body injury. Werenski is having a huge year with the Blue Jackets, boasting 21 points (seven goals, 14 assists), 89 shots, and 33 blocks through 23 outings. Only two defensemen in the league have scored more points. If Werenski were to miss time, players like Ivan Provorov, Damon Severson, and Denton Mateychuk would receive more usage on the Columbus blue line.

Ottawa Senators forward Ridly Greig (undisclosed) will skip a third straight game on Monday versus the Los Angeles Kings. Greig had been ever-present in the Senators lineup before suffering an undisclosed injury ahead of a seven-game road trip. He has contributed two goals and six assists in 19 appearances. Graig's absence has allowed Stephen Halliday to make his first career NHL appearances, but he has averaged only a handful of minutes per game. At the same time, Lars Eller has seen increased ice time as a member of the top six.

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) won't play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings.

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Kirill Marchenko (upper body) has been ruled out for Monday's encounter with the Washington Capitals. He left the morning skate with an injury and won't be in the Blue Jackets lineup for the first time this season. Despite going scoreless in the past three games, Marchenko leads Columbus with 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 22 games. With him out, Yegor Chinakhov will get an opportunity to impress on the first line. Chinakhov has recorded only four points (two goals, two assists) in 16 games. However, his ice time has been limited to 10:08 per game. He has the ability to make a big impact with increased usage.

New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday against the St. Louis Blues, Vince Z. Mercogliano of The Athletic reports. The Rangers captain exited the lineup over the weekend due to an upper-body injury. Over his last two appearances, Miller has produced two goals and one assist. However, he has been a disappointment for fantasy managers this season, totaling only 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 22 games. On Monday, the Rangers could also be without Vincent Trocheck (undisclosed), who is a game-time call. Alexis Lafreniere and Jonny Brodzinski have moved up in the lineup due to the Rangers' injury situation.

Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point (undisclosed) will miss Monday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. He will sit out his first game of the season due to an undisclosed injury. The team also considers Point questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Calgary Flames. The injury is another setback for Point during a difficult campaign. The three-time 90-point scorer has been limited to 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 21 outings and has a team-worst minus-11 rating. Point's absence on Monday boosts the fantasy value of Dominic James, who will join the second line. James recently exploded for four points (one goal, three assists) in two games, but he hasn't done any other scoring in 12 appearances this season.

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood stopped all 22 shots he faced in Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks, improving to 13-1-2 with a 1-0 victory. Colorado recorded a second consecutive shutout after Mackenzie Blackwood stopped the Nashville Predators from scoring on Saturday. The team has now won nine consecutive games, with Wedgewood holding an eight-game personal winning streak. Another victory would tie him for the second-longest winning streak in franchise history. Wedgewood, who leads the league in goalie wins, will begin the new week of action with a 2.09 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage.

San Joe Sharks center Macklin Celebrini led his team to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Sunday night, tallying a goal and an assist. Celebrini passed Patrick Marleau (6) for the most game-winning goals by a Sharks teenager when he lit the lamp on the power play in the second period. The 19-year-old now also holds the franchise record for most five-game point streaks by a teenager (3). This month, Celebrini has finished a game without a point only two times, racking up eight goals and nine assists in 12 outings. The young Sharks star continues to be one of the league's most productive players, with only Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon having more points than him. Celebrini has amassed 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 23 games.

Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord posted a rare shutout on Sunday against the New York Islanders, keeping a clean sheet for the second time this season but suffering a 1-0 loss. With David Rittich working for the Islanders, the teams couldn't be separated in 65 minutes of action, and the Islanders recorded a 1-0 victory via a shootout. Daccord's record for the season dropped to 7-3-4. He has registered a 2.56 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. The numbers show that Daccord has been in fine form, but Seattle's lack of scoring is hurting his record. In only half of Daccord's 14 starts, the Kraken have managed more than two goals.

New York Islanders goaltender David Rittich collected his third straight win and first shutout of the season in Sunday's 1-0 shootout victory over the Seattle Kraken. The 33-year-old landed in the net for the second leg of a back-to-back after Ilya Sorokin played in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The two Islanders netminders have combined for two shutouts over the last three games. While it's impossible for Rittich to dislodge Sorokin as the No. 1 goalie on Long Island, he has produced impressive numbers this season. The Czech native holds a 6-2-0 record and has allowed 2.59 goals with a .905 save percentage.

Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt kept the Winnipeg Jets from scoring on Sunday, posting his third shutout of the season in a 3-0 road win. He has 32 saves in the contest, becoming the fourth-youngest netminder in NHL history with a season-opening point streak of at least eight games. The 23-year-old Swedish native has gone 6-0-2 to start the year. Wallstedt has won each of his last five starts, allowing only five goals. Incredibly, he has recorded all three of his shutouts this season over his last four appearances. Wallstedt is providing great competition to Filip Gustavsson, as the two goalies have alternated starts over the last couple of weeks.
