Macklin Celebrini Records First Career Three-Point Game
San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini put together his first career three-point game in Monday's 7-2 win against Los Angeles. He reached the milestone with a pair of goals and an assist. Celebrini, who scored his second goal of the night on the power play, became only the second teenager in Sharks history to total three points in a single game, joining the legendary Patrick Marleau. A hip injury delivered an early blow for Celebrin's rookie campaign, but he's starting to make noise, with five points picked up in three games. Despite missing 12 games, Celebrini sits fifth in scoring among first-year players with 10 points (six goals, four assists) in 12 outings.

Connor Hellebuyck Stops 43 Shots In Win Against Wild
Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck saved 43 of 44 shots in Monday's 4-1 road victory against Minnesota. The Wild had Kirill Kaprizov back in the lineup and ended Hellebuyck's shutout bid early on when Jake Middleton gave the hosts the lead, but the Jets No. 1 went on to make 34 consecutive saves to help his team earn an impressive win. Hellebuyck now shares the all-time record for the fewest games required to reach 15 wins in a season. He's sporting a 15-2-0 record through 17 starts. Among regular starters, Hellebuyck owns the league's best goals-against average with 2.06 and the best save percentage with .929. His impressive form has given the reigning Vezina Trophy winner a chance to finish a second consecutive month with only one loss.

Seth Jarvis Returns With A Three-Point Effort
Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis (upper body) had a prolific comeback game against Dallas on Monday, notching three points in a 6-4 win. Returning from a seven-game absence, Jarvis netted a short-handed goal early in the first period and had a couple of assists in the third, including a power-play helper on Martin Necas' game-winning goal. Jarvis skated on the second line and amassed a game-high five hits across 17:52 of ice time. He's now on a point-per-game pace for the season, sitting on five goals and nine assists through 14 appearances. Jarvis also averages 1.5 hits per game.

Sebastian Aho Racks Up Four Points In Impressive Win
Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho registered his 10th career four-point game as the team got the better of the Dallas Stars 6-4 in a heavyweight battle on Monday. Aho collected his first point via a short-handed assist in the first period and had two further helpers with one goal in the third as Carolina dug itself out from a 3-1 deficit. The Finnish pivot has found a different level lately, averaging two points per game for his last four outings. He's managed 23 points (seven goals, 16 assists) in 21 games overall for the season. This puts him on track to average at least a point per game for a second consecutive campaign, which Aho hasn't yet done in his nine-year NHL career.

Nico Hischier Nets Historic Hat Trick Versus Predators
New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier lit the lamp three times in Monday's 5-2 victory over Nashville, becoming the first Swiss player in NHL history to post a natural hat trick. He achieved the feat in the second period, sticking a power-play goal between two even-strength markers. This was Hischier's second three-point effort in five games. He's found his feet again after slumping through the first couple of weeks this month. Despite the recent barren spell, Hischier boasts strong offensive numbers for the campaign, with 13 goals and 11 assists registered across 24 outings.

Jakob Chychrun Tallies Three Points In Monday's Win
Washington Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun led the charge with a goal and two assists in Monday's 4-1 victory at Florida. Facing his home state team, Chychrun scored a power-play goal, which ended up as the game-winning marker, and set up Lars Eller for a pair of goals. With his sixth tally of the campaign, Chychrun tied Colorado's Cale Makar for most goals among defensemen. Chychrun has also posted five assists in 16 games during his debut campaign in Washington, firing off 31 shots and blocking 24 efforts from the opposition.

Brandon Hagel Dishes Out Career-High Five Assists
Tampa Bay Lightning winger Brandon Hagel racked up a career-high five assists as his squad eased to an 8-2 victory against Colorado Monday night. Hagel matched a franchise record with the five-assist effort, becoming the fourth player in Lightning history to set up as many goals in a single game. The 28-year-old has quietly put together a very strong season, becoming Tampa Bay's second-highest scorer. A run of three consecutive multi-point efforts has pushed Hagel to 28 points (nine goals, 17 assists) for the year. He has formed a deadly one-two punch on the second line with Anthony Cirelli, who scored in a sixth consecutive game on Monday.

Patrik Laine Practices In Regular Jersey
Montreal Canadiens winger Patrik Laine (knee) practiced on Monday in a regular jersey. It's another step forward in his recovery from a knee injury, although Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis doesn't expect Laine to be ready for game action this week. Montreal kicks off a four-game week on Tuesday against Utah. Laine might become an option after the stretch. He should be a top-six piece in Montreal with regular power-play time. The Finnish forward has seen his fantasy stock plummet in recent times, but he was a point-per-game player only two seasons ago and could provide plenty of value for managers if he can stay healthy.

Mason McTavish Returns To Ducks Lineup Monday
Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish (upper body) will be welcomed back to the lineup on Monday versus Seattle. He has been removed from Injured Reserve ahead of the contest, signaling that McTavish is ready to return from a six-game absence. McTavish was on a three-game point streak before getting injured and has recorded eight points (two goals, six assists) in 13 games for the season. He's done most of his scoring with the man advantage and should see a good amount of power-play time again on Monday. During even-strength play., McTavish will likely be used in a bottom-six role.

Chris Kreider Unavailable Versus Blues
New York Rangers left wing Chris Kreider (upper body) will not play on Monday against St. Louis. He is considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Kreider's absence comes on the same day his name popped up in trade rumors. The veteran has struggled in 2024-25, posting nine goals with zero assists in 19 outings. Mika Zibanejad is projected to skate with Will Cuylle and Brett Berard, who will make his NHL debut. Alexis Lafreniere will take Kreider's spot on the first power-play unit.

Artem Zub Out With Fractured Foot
Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub has suffered a fracture in his foot and will be out for "a while," according to head coach Travis Green. Zub has already missed time with a concussion this season, seeing action in only 11 games. He has posted two assists with 13 shots, 19 blocks, and 16 hits. Zub's injury means a likely promotion to the first defensive pairing for Travis Hamonic, who filled in for the Russian when he was out of the lineup earlier in the season. Hamonic is very defensive-minded and lacks fantasy value. Jacob Bernard-Docker is expected to return to the lineup on the third defensive pairing on Monday versus Calgary.

Pyotr Kochetkov Lands In Concussion Protocol
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov is in concussion protocol and won't play on Monday against Dallas. Kochetkov was hurt in a collision with teammate Sean Walker in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss and will be out indefinitely. With Frederik Andersen (knee) already ruled out for 8-12 weeks, the Hurricanes are set to ride Spencer Martin for the time being. Martin's 3.21 goals-against average and .870 save percentage won't fill fantasy managers with confidence, but he will be playing behind a top-class team and should still be a good source for wins. Yaniv Perets has been called up from the minors to cover for Martin, who will look to improve a 1-2-1 record on Monday.

Kirill Kaprizov Considered A Game-Time Call For Monday
Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against Winnipeg. It looks like Kaprizov may be ready to make a quick return to the lineup after he missed Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary. Minnesota's star winger skated in his usual spot on the top line Monday morning. Marcus Johansson will land back on the second line if Kaprizov indeed returns, with Marcus Foligno dropping down to the third line. Kaprizov was held pointless by the Jets in this season's first head-to-head meeting, but he's having a great campaign and boasts 13 points (six goals, seven assists) from his last seven appearances.

Jack Roslovic Continues To See Success With Hurricanes
Carolina Hurricanes forward Jack Roslovic enters the new week of action with a three-game goal streak. With 12 goals in total for the season, he has taken over the goal-scoring lead on the team ahead of Martin Necas, and only eight players in the league have found the back of the net more times than Roslovic, whose goals have all come during even-strength play. Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl (14) is the only player with more even-strength goals for the campaign. It's been an amazing run for the forward, who was picked up as a free agent on a one-year, $2.8 million contract in the summer.

Alex Lyon Starts For Red Wings On Monday
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon has been confirmed as the starter for Monday's meeting with the Islanders. Detroit goes back to the goalie who has already come out victorious twice from the same matchup this season. Lyon has a 2-0-0 record against the Islanders, with only one goal allowed. The most recent victory came last week with a 22-save effort in a 2-1 win. Lyon's overall record for the season stands at 3-4-0. He has allowed 2.85 goals with a .908 save percentage. While his form tends to be inconsistent, Lyon seems to have the Islanders' number and must be full of confidence ahead of Monday's outing.

Mikhail Sergachev Collects An Assist In Sunday's Loss
Utah Hockey Club defenseman Mikhail Sergachev tallied a power-play assist as the team was defeated by the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 on Sunday. He combined with Dylan Guenther to set up Logan Cooley for the opening goal late in the first period. Following his move from Tampa Bay, Sergachev has stepped into a bigger role on his new team, and Utah hasn't been disappointed. He has amassed 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 21 games, putting him tied with Carolina's Shayne Gostisbehere and Seattle's Brandon Montour for the most points among all defensemen on a new team this season. Sergachev has also racked up 36 blocks, with 34 shots fired on goal.

Logan Cooley Leads Utah's Offense Sunday
Utah Hockey Club center Logan Cooley finished Sunday's 3-2 loss to Toronto with a goal and assist. He opened the scoring in the contest with a power-play tally and snagged an assist when Jack McBain found the back of the net in the third period. This was Cooley's second consecutive multi-point effort following a two-assist performance in Saturday's 6-1 victory against his hometown Penguins. The 20-year-old battles consistency issues but has done well overall during his sophomore campaign. Cooley is Utah's third-highest scorer with 16 points (four goals, 12 assists) in 21 games. He leads the pack with 13 even-strength points.

William Nylander Enjoys Another Multi-Point Outing
Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander recorded a power-play assist and the game-winning goal in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Utah. Toronto fell behind to a Logan Cooley power-play goal, but prolific work from Nylander and Mitchell Marner eventually led the Maple Leafs to another win. Incredibly, the team has gone 7-1-0 with Auston Matthews (upper body) out of the lineup. Nylander has had a great month with 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 10 games and finds himself among the league's top goal-scorers. With 21 games played, Nylander has lit the lamp 14 times, adding 10 assists.

Mitchell Marner Extends Multi-Point Streak With Pair Of Goals
Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitchell Marner kept his multi-point streak going with a two-goal effort in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Utah. He lit the lamp in the second period, with Marner's second goal of the night coming on the power play. Overall, Marner has recorded seven multi-point outings in his last eight appearances. He's really stepped up it during Auston Matthews' (upper body) absence. Matthews might be back for the next game, but we should continue to see Marner in top form. He has totaled 28 points (eight goals, 20 assists) in 21 games this season.

Anthony Cirelli Riding Career-Best Goal Streak
Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli has been hot in front of the net lately, scoring in five consecutive games to set a new career high. Cirelli started the streak on Nov. 14 versus Winnipeg with a power-play goal and recorded his first multi-goal effort of the campaign in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Dallas. The 27-year-old has notched eight goals and 13 assists in 19 games overall this season, putting him on pace for a huge career year. Cirelli has never managed more than 45 points in a single campaign, so it's highly unlikely he can maintain his current form. But fantasy managers should continue to ride him until the wheels come off.
