Minnesota Wild center Vinnie Hinostroza (lower body) will miss 4-6 weeks of action, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports. Last week, he was hurt in a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins and was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday. Hinostroza has recorded five points (two goals, three assists) in 22 appearances this season. The injury bug has bitten the Wild's frontline badly lately, resulting in Danila Yurov taking on the top-line center role. The Russian rookie has handled the added responsibility well, notching four points (one goal, three assists) over the past four games.

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the New York Rangers. The Russian netminder is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Kochetkov holds a 4-0-0 record for the season after missing the first month of action due to a lower-body injury. He has logged a 1.70 goals-against average with a .926 save percentage, posting one shutout. With Frederik Andersen on a four-game losing skid, allowing three-plus goals in each outing, the Hurricanes may elect to go with Brandon Bussi in the crease on Wednesday night.

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry (lower body) could be back in the lineup on Wednesday night against the Buffalo Sabres. "I think he's progressing very well," Penguins head coach Muse said after Tuesday's practice. "And so, I would expect that he is going to be available here for us tomorrow. Like, he's had some really good days. I think he's looked good." Jarry has been out of action since Nov. 3 due to a lower-body injury. He has been solid for the Penguins this season, putting together a 5-2-0 record in seven starts with one shutout. Jarry has registered a 2.60 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage. Sergei Murashov has been with Pittsburgh during Jarry's absence, going 1-1-1 with one shutout. He will likely be returned to the minors to activate Jarry from Injured Reserve.

New Jersey Devils right wing Evgenii Dadonov (undisclosed) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against the St. Louis Blues, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports. The Russian veteran is undergoing evaluation for an undisclosed injury he suffered during Monday's win over the Detroit Red Wings. Dadonov recently returned from a fractured hand and has been limited to five appearances this season. He has yet to register any points. Juho Lammikko is expected to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday if Dadonov isn't healthy enough to face the Blues. The Finnish forward has gone scoreless in 10 games this campaign.

New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller (upper body) is traveling with the team for a brief two-game road trip, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. The Rangers captain has missed a pair of games due to an upper-body injury. However, the fact that Miller is with the team for the road team suggests he may be ready to return in the next couple of games. Mike Sullivan's team faces Carolina on Wednesday night before taking on Boston on Friday. Miller has had a disappointing campaign with the Rangers, scoring six goals and 12 points in 22 games while going minus-seven. During Miller's absence, Jonny Brodzinski has had increased fantasy value as a top-six member, collecting an assist in Monday's 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues.

Colorado Avalanche left wing Joel Kiviranta (lower body) is poised to return to the lineup from a 17-game absence on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks. Kiviranta made only five appearances at the start of the season before landing on the shelf for more than a month. He has no points this season. During his time in Denver, Kiviranta has proven to be a valuable asset on the penalty kill while primarily playing in a bottom-six role. However, due to his limited role, the Finnish forward has no fantasy value.

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) will remain out on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars but is expected to rejoin the lineup later this week. On Monday, Nugent-Hopkins practiced for the first time since sustaining an undisclosed injury in a loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Nov. 9. He will miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday, but Nugent-Hopkins looks set to return to the lineup for Saturday's tilt against the Seattle Kraken. Nugent-Hopkins has averaged a point per game in 16 outings this season, posting five goals and 11 assists. Once he is cleared to play, Nugent-Hopkins will be in contention for a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play unit.

Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart notched three points during Monday's 8-3 road win over the Nashville Predators, finishing with one goal and two assists. He did all of his scoring in even-strength situations, extending his point streak to seven games. During the streak, Reinhart has finished without a goal only two times, and he has lit the lamp in three consecutive games. While Reinhart was a disappointment to many fantasy managers early in the season, he has started to make up for it. Currently, he shares the league's second-longest active point streak with Dallas' Jason Robertson.

New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox had two assists in Monday's 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues. The 2021 Norris Trophy winner helped the Rangers get only their second home win of the season by setting up Vincent Trocheck and Adam Edstrom for a pair of goals. The Rangers have struggled this season, but you wouldn't know it from Fox's numbers. He has registered five points across the last three games alone and boasts 21 points (three goals, 18 assists) in 24 appearances overall. Colorado's Cale Makar (29) and Winnipeg's Josh Morrissey (22) are the only rearguards in the league with more points than Fox. The two-time All-Star even holds a positive plus/minus rating of plus-one, even though his team ranks third from the bottom in the Eastern Conference

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Brandon Hagel contributed two goals and an assist during Monday's 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. He opened and finished the scoring, sticking an even-strength assist between his two goals. After a few dull performances, Hagel has exploded for seven points (four goals, three assists) across the past two games. He has struck a good partnership with Anthony Cirelli and Nikita Kucherov. The line took care of all Tampa goals on Monday night, scoring a combined eight points. For the season, Hagel has recorded 11 goals and 22 points in 21 games.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy pushed his winning streak to four games in Monday's 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, recording his first shutout of the season with 20 saves. It was his sixth career shutout against the Flyers, which is tied for his most against a single franchise. Vasilevskiy has also stopped the Dallas Stars from scoring six times. After some early-season jitters, Vasilevskiy has produced a string of strong performances, going 9-2-0 over his last 11 starts. During that stretch, he has allowed two or fewer goals in eight contests. The big improvement in form has allowed Vasilevskiy to take his record for the season to 9-5-2. On average, he has given up 2.36 goals while registering a .913 save percentage.

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.

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Jake Walman (undisclosed) will miss a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports. He is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. During his first full season with the Oilers, Walman has registered 10 points (three goals, seven assists), 23 shots, and 31 blocks in 17 games. His next chance to return will be on Saturday night against the Seattle Kraken. Ty Emberson is expected to stay in the lineup on Tuesday, but he lacks significant fantasy value.
