Tristan Jarry Expected to Be Available Wednesday

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.

Evgenii Dadonov Doubtful for Wednesday

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.

J.T. Miller • C • Rangers

J.T. Miller Joins Team for Road Trip

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.

Joel Kiviranta Ready to Return Wednesday

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.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins • C • Oilers

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Expected to Return on Saturday

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.

Sam Reinhart • C • Panthers

Sam Reinhart Extends Scoring Streak With Three-Point Effort

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.

Adam Fox • D • Rangers

Adam Fox Delivers Two Assists in Monday's Win

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

Brandon Hagel Tallies Three Points Against Flyers

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.

Andrei Vasilevskiy • G • Lightning

Andrei Vasilevskiy Extends Winning Streak With Shutout Performance

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.

Logan Cooley • C • Mammoth

Logan Cooley Erupts for Five Points in Monday's Win

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.

Mathieu Olivier Sustains Upper-Body Injury Monday

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.

Zach Werenski • D • Blue Jackets

Zach Werenski Hurt Against Capitals

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.

Jake Walman • D • Oilers

Jake Walman to Remain Out Tuesday

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.

Ridly Greig • C • Senators

Ridly Greig Still Out Monday

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.

Thomas Chabot • D • Senators

Thomas Chabot Misses Monday's Matchup

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) won't play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Over the weekend, Chabot made an early return from an upper-body injury, but he re-aggravated the issue and will now be absent for a fourth time in five games. Chabot has recorded 10 points (two goals, eight assists), 22 shots, and 36 blocks in 18 outings this season. Nikolas Matinpalo (undisclosed) is set to replace him in the Senators lineup on Monday, returning from a one-game absence. Meanwhile, Jordan Spence will see a boost in playing time.

Kirill Marchenko • RW • Blue Jackets

Kirill Marchenko Out Monday

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.

J.T. Miller • C • Rangers

J.T. Miller Unavailable Monday

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.

Nov 24

Brayden Point • C • Lightning

Brayden Point Out Against Flyers

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.

Nov 24

Nikita Kucherov • RW • Lightning

Nikita Kucherov Good to Go Monday

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov (undisclosed) will play in Monday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers. Due to an undisclosed health issue, Kucherov's night at the office was cut short on Saturday against the Washington Capitals, but he won't miss additional time. Despite logging only 5:18 of ice time against Washington, Kucherov notched three points (one goal, two assists). He has recovered from a slow start to the season, posting a five-game point streak. For the season, Kucherov has managed 10 goals and 22 points in 19 appearances.

Scott Wedgewood Gives Avalanche Second Consecutive Shutout

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.
