Ottawa Senators goaltender James Reimer achieved a rare feat in Monday's 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, becoming the third netminder in NHL history to earn a shutout for seven different franchises. He didn't have to do much to join Cam Talbot and Sean Burke in the select group, stopping 16 shots. Reimer was back in action for the first time since Feb. 5 and improved his record to 4-3-1. He has registered a 2.53 goals-against average and a .882 save percentage. While Linus Ullmark is expected to return to the crease for Wednesday's tilt against the Montreal Canadiens, Reimer will likely see more action soon, as Ottawa has a back-to-back over the weekend.

Washington Capitals forward Justin Sourdif ended a six-game point drought in style on Monday against the Calgary Flames, recording a goal and two assists in a 7-3 victory. He was elevated to the top line for the game and became only the third Capitals rookie in the past 40 years with multiple three-point games in a season. Despite experiencing an offensive slump in recent weeks, Sourdif is averaging close to 0.5 points per game and holds an impressive plus-15 rating through 61 appearances. He has contributed 13 goals and 16 assists, collecting 25 of his 29 points during even-strength play. Sourdif's offensive production could see major improvement if he partners with Alex Ovechkin for an extended period.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard recorded two assists in Monday's 3-2 overtime victory against the Utah Mammoth. He assisted Andrew Burakovsky on a game-tying goal in the second period and added his second helper when Frank Nazar scored in overtime. With his 44th career multi-point game, Bedard tied Denis Savard for the most by a Blackhawks player at age 20 or younger. At the same time, he broke Eddie Olczyk's franchise record for most assists by a player aged 20 or younger. Bedard reached 117 career assists on Monday night. He's had 34 helpers this season, along with 26 goals in 51 games. The Mammoth will hope to do a better job containing Bedard in Thursday's rematch.

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Erik Gudbranson (upper body) won't join the team for an upcoming three-game road trip, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. The veteran blue-liner sustained an upper-body injury in Monday's loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Columbus begins its trip on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning and will return home after Saturday's matchup with the Philadelphia Flyers. Gudbranson has missed most of the 2025-26 campaign due to a hip injury. He has featured in 21 games, recording three points (one goal, two assists), 19 shots, 29 blocks, 27 hits, and a plus-six rating. Egor Zamula and Jake Christiansen are the candidates to replace Gudbranson.

Vancouver Canucks left wing Evander Kane is nursing an upper-body injury, head coach Adam Foote revealed on Monday. The veteran forward missed Monday's morning skate and didn't play in Vancouver's 2-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators. After sitting out the entire 2024-25 regular season, Kane has been relatively healthy this term and missed only his third game of the campaign on Monday night. He has recorded 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists), 146 shots, and 102 hits in 61 outings. With Kane sidelined, Curtis Douglas made his Canucks debut on Monday but logged less than seven minutes of ice time.

Chicago Blackhawks center Oliver Moore (lower body) is expected to miss "significant time," Brian Sandalow of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. The rookie forward suffered a lower-body injury in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Stars. Moore has appeared in 51 games this season, notching 19 points (five goals, 14 assists). He was replaced in the lineup by Sam Lafferty on Monday against Utah. With little time remaining in the season, Moore might be done for the rest of the year.

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Anton Forsberg stopped 28 of 32 shots on goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Blue Jackets. Forsberg received plenty of goal support in the contest to secure the two points for the Kings, who are just outside of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference playoff race. Forsberg has posted an 11-9-5 record to go along with two shutouts, a 2.74 goals against average, and a .903 save percentage on the season, but he is mainly a streaming option for fantasy purposes.

Los Angeles Kings left wing Artemi Panarin scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime victory against the Blue Jackets. Panarin's 21st goal of the season helped the Kings take an early two-goal lead in the contest, while he contributed with a helper on Adrian Kempe's game-winning goal in the extra frame to secure the win. Panarin remains an elite option for all fantasy formats, as he has picked up eight points in seven games since joining the Kings through a trade from the Rangers, while he has season totals of 21 goals and 65 points.

Kempe has totals of 25 goals and 55 points on the season, making him a high-end forward option across all fantasy leagues.

Ottawa Senators goaltender James Reimer will make his first appearance in more than a month on Monday night against the Vancouver Canucks. The 37-year-old had his last outing on Feb. 5, defeating the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in overtime. Reimer has done a decent job for Ottawa since joining the team midseason. He holds a 3-3-1 record, a 2.90 goals-against average, and a .870 save percentage. The Canucks have the third-weakest offense in the league, scoring 2.56 goals per game, so Reimer is in a good spot to improve his record.

Calgary Flames defenseman Joel Hanley (illness) is expected to return to the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. The 34-year-old veteran didn't play on Saturday against Carolina due to illness. Hanley will come into the lineup to replace Zach Whitecloud (upper body), who was injured in Saturday's win. Whitecloud will remain home as the Flames start a five-game road trip on Monday night. Hanley will skate with Zayne Parekh on the third defensive pairing and isn't expected to be a difference-maker. In 58 outings this season, Hanley has registered seven assists, 34 shots, and 76 blocks.

Vancouver Canucks wingers Brock Boeser (undisclosed) and Evander Kane (undisclosed) are both questionable for Monday's tilt against the Ottawa Senators. Kane missed Monday's morning skate with an undisclosed injury, while Boeser only briefly participated before going to the locker room. Liam Ohgren and Nils Hoglander will see more work if Boeser and Kane miss Monday's game. Meanwhile, Curtis Douglas would come into the lineup to make his team debut. Douglas recorded zero goals and two assists in 29 games with Tampa Bay before the Canucks claimed him off waivers. He's not someone who should be on fantasy managers' radar.
