Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal produced an impressive 23-save performance in Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, posting a new career high with a sixth consecutive win. Kyle Connor scored against Dostal early in the second period, but the Ducks offense, led by Leo Carlsson, once again proved to be too sharp for the opposing team. Anaheim has the league's most potent offense, helping Dostal put together an 8-3-1 record this season. He has logged a 2.66 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage. While things look very rosy for Dostal right now, his winning streak will face a very tough test on Tuesday as the Ducks are scheduled to visit the Colorado Avalanche, led by NHL scoring leader Nathan MacKinnon.

Minnesota Wild winger Matt Boldy led the team's offense in Sunday's 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames, producing a goal and an assist. He opened the scoring at the 13:47 mark in the second period and set up Kirill Kaprizov for a goal inside the final minute of regulation. This was Boldy's fourth multi-point game of the season, with two of those occurring at the beginning of the campaign. Although Boldy has recently found it challenging to have a consistent impact on the Wild's offense, he is still maintaining a point-per-game pace. In 17 games, Boldy has contributed eight goals and nine assists.

Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt had a career-high 36 saves during a shutout performance in Sunday's 2-0 victory over the Calgary Flames. It was a busy night for Wallstedt, but he didn't flinch against the NHL's worst offense, becoming the fourth netminder in franchise history to pick up multiple shutouts as a rookie. Wallstedt, who is backing up Filip Gustavsson in Minnesota, has yet to lose in regulation this season, going 3-0-2. He has produced a 2.51 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. Gustavsson has not been great this season, which may lead to additional playing time for Wallstedt. He has started back-to-back games for the first time in his career.

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nikolaj Ehlers had his first multi-point performance on his new team on Sunday, delivering two assists in a 5-4 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. He assisted Sebastian Aho during a power-play situation in the first period and contributed to Logan Stankoven's game-winning goal midway through the third. Ehlers has struggled in his new surroundings this season, but his form has been improving lately. The Danish forward enters the new week of action with a four-game point streak. Overall, Ehlers has posted nine points (two goals, seven assists) in 15 contests.

Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard notched a goal and an assist as the team picked up a 5-1 road win against the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. Two points for Bedard, including his goal, came on the power play. He is now one of only two Blackhawks players, alongside Stan Mikita, to post consecutive three-point games twice before turning 21. Bedard heated up late last month, and there appears to be no end in sight for his hot spell. Chicago's ascending star will take an eight-game point streak into Wednesday's tilt against the New Jersey Devils. With 25 points (nine goals, 16 assists) in 16 games, Bedard is tied for second on the NHL's scoring charts.

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon could do no wrong in Sunday's contest against the Vancouver Cancucks, tallying two goals and three assists in a 5-4 overtime victory. He became only the second NHLer in the past 25 years to record at least four points on back-to-back days. The sensational performance took MacKinnon's points streak to nine games, which has catapulted him to the top of the league's scoring charts. MacKinnon has produced a league-high 14 goals and sits on 29 points in 16 appearances. Currently, the Avalanche superstar looks unstoppable, and his hot streak may continue for a while, as Colorado begins a four-game homestand on Tuesday.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Charles-Alexis Legault suffered a skate cut on his hand during Sunday's contest against the Toronto Maple Leafs and was taken to the hospital, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports. He finished with 7:15 of ice time, logging one hit and two penalty minutes. On Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres, Legault recorded his first career points, scoring a goal and providing an assist. He entered the lineup late last month due to a high number of injuries on the Hurricanes' blue line. Now, Legault faces a spell on the sidelines himself. Gavin Bayreuther will likely be the next man up in Carolina's defense.

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kasperi Kapanen (undisclosed) is aiming to return to action in early December, the Oilers' play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports. The Finnish forward missed a 10th straight game on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche. Prior to sustaining an undisclosed injury, Kapanen recorded two assists in six games this season and averaged nearly 2.7 hits. When Kapanen returns, he will likely be limited to a bottom-six role unless there are additional injuries to Edmonton's frontline. The team has been missing Zach Hyman (wrist) and Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) to start the season, but both players are expected to be back in the lineup by the time Kapanen returns.

Edmonton Oilers forward Mattias Janmark (undisclosed) is on track to make his season debut on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Oilers' play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports. After Friday's practice, Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch said that Janmark will "definitely" be activated from Injured Reserve before the team begins a seven-game road trip after Monday's contest. Janmark has never managed more than 34 points in a single NHL season and doesn't offer much fantasy value. But his return to the lineup could boost Edmonton's 81.8 percent penalty kill, which is currently ranked 12th in the league. Janmark finished the 2024-25 campaign with 18 points (two goals, 16 assists) in 80 games.

Edmonton Oilers winger Zach Hyman (wrist) will remain out on Monday against the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Oilers' play-by-play announcer Jack Michaels reports. Hyman is nearing his season debut, but Monday's game will come too soon for him. His next opportunity to return will be on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. Jack Roslovic and Andrew Mangiapane have enjoyed top-six roles during Hyman's absence. Of the two players, Roslovic has been the better performer, and he skated on the top line with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid on Saturday against the Colorado Avalanche, making him an attractive fantasy option.

Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Strome (upper body) has come off Injured Reserve and is expected to join the lineup for Sunday's tilt against the Winnipeg Jets. In a corresponding move, the Ducks placed Radko Gudas (lower-body) on Injured Reserve, retroactive to Oct. 23. Strome has yet to play this season due to an upper-body injury. A season ago, he appeared in all 82 regular-season games, posting 41 points (10 goals, 31 assists). Now that he's healthy, Strome is expected to take on a middle-six role in Anaheim and provide an additional option on the power play.

Winnipeg Jets forward Cole Perfetti (ankle) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to make his season debut on Sunday night against the Anaheim Ducks. He has missed Winnipeg's first 14 games due to an ankle injury suffered in the team's preseason finale. Perfetti will grab a second-line spot and roll with the first power-play unit. As a result, Alex Iafallo will be shifted to the third line. In 2024-25, Perfetti had the best campaign of his young career, registering 50 points (18 goals, 32 assists) in 82 games. Cole Koepke will make way for Perfetti in the lineup.

Washington Capitals forward Pierre-Luc Dubois will miss 3-4 months after he had surgery to address injuries to his abdominal and adductor muscles, the team announced Sunday. Dubois missed a fourth straight game on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning and was placed on Injured Reserve earlier this week. It's possible he won't return to action before March. Before being sidelined, Dubois made six appearances but didn't record any points. Dubois' absence has increased the fantasy value of Connor McMichael, who has taken over second-line center duties. However, McMichael has produced only one goal and three assists in 15 outings this season.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Scott Laughton (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Carolina Hurricanes. He sustained an upper-body injury in Saturday's loss to the Boston Bruins. While Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said after the game that the severity of Laughton's injury is unknown, he won't be available on Sunday. In the matchup against Boston, Laughton was playing in only his second game of the season after recovering from a lower-body injury. The Maple Leafs are likely to replace him in the lineup with Calle Jarnkrok. Jarnkrok is not a good fantasy option; however, he's enjoyed some success in front of the net this season, scoring four goals on just 11 shots in 10 outings.

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh (undisclosed) left Saturday's tilt against the Washington Capitals after logging only 6:19 of ice time. He had seven shifts in the first period but didn't return for the second. The two-time Stanley Cup champion typically does a little bit of everything for the Lightning, recording three goals, three assists, 15 shots, 25 blocks, and eight hits in 14 contests this season. Tampa Bay played with seven defensemen on Saturday, so a forward might come into the lineup if McDonagh doesn't recover in time for Wednesday's clash against the New York Rangers.
