Trevor Moore May Return Tuesday
Los Angeles Kings winger Trevor Moore (upper body) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt against the New York Rangers. Moore sat out Sunday's win over the Boston Bruins due to an upper-body injury. However, he skated in a regular jersey on Tuesday morning, which suggests that Moore may be ready to return to the lineup against the Rangers. His return will likely send Trevor Lewis back to the press box as a healthy scratch. The Kings have seen Moore up his game recently, as he has scored in both of his last two appearances. For the season, Moore has tallied 15 goals and 32 points in 59 games.

Jason Dickinson Done For The Season
Chicago Blackhawks center Jason Dickinson (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Dickinson injured his wrist in a fight with St. Louis Blues forward Jake Neighbours on Saturday. The 29-year-old also missed time recently due to an ankle sprain, meaning he will finish the season with only 59 appearances. Dickinson recorded seven goals and nine assists while handing out 102 hits. With him shelved from the rest of the year, Philipp Kurashev will receive regular playing opportunities. He notched two assists when Chicago inserted Kurashev into the lineup on Sunday against the Philadelphia Flyers. However, fantasy managers should not expect him to become a consistent offensive contributor, as Kurashev has totaled only 12 points (six goals, six assists) in 44 games this season.

Samuel Girard Ready To Return Against Red Wings
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard (lower body) will rejoin the action on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. He has been out of action for a couple of games due to a lower-body injury. Girard will be Erik Johnson's (lower body) replacement on the third defensive pairing. The 26-year-old may also eat up some power-play time. With a couple of weeks still left to play in the 2024-25 regular season, Girard has already surpassed his scoring total from last year, notching 22 points (three goals, 19 assists) in 66 games. He has taken 83 shots on goal and blocked 94 attempts from the opponents.

Mikael Backlund Out On Tuesday
Calgary Flames center Mikael Backlund (upper body) is set to miss a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. The Flames captain has resumed skating, but Tuesday's game comes too soon for him to be ready to return to the lineup. Backlund's next opportunity to return will be on Thursday when the Dallas Stars come to town. Yegor Sharangovich has operated as the third-line center during Backlund's absence. He has struggled offensively since the 4 Nations break, posting one goal and one assist in 13 games.

Joel Farabee Good To Go Against Kraken
Calgary Flames winger Joel Farabee (illness) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. The 25-year-old sat out Saturday's action against the New York Islanders due to an illness. However, he returned to the ice for Monday's practice, and Flames head coach Ryan Huska told reporters that Farabee was good to go for Tuesday night. Huska will utilize Farabee on the third line and the second power-play unit. Farabee's life has been tough in Canada since his move from the Philadelphia Flyers. He has made 18 appearances with the Flames, scoring three goals and handing out two assists.

MacKenzie Weegar Officially Cleared To Play Tuesday
Calgary Flames defenseman MacKenzie Weegar (lower body) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Seattle Kraken. He was unavailable for Saturday's matchup with the New York Islanders. However, it was expected that he would make a quick return to the lineup, and Flames head coach Ryan Huska has confirmed that Weegar will play against the Kraken. Saturday's game marked Weegar's first absence of the season. Thanks to a strong second half of the season, Weegar has a chance to record his second consecutive 50-point campaign. He has notched 41 points (seven goals, 34 assists) in 68 outings.

Shea Theodore Set To Rejoin Golden Knights Lineup Tuesday
Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore (arm) has been activated from Injured Reserve, indicating that he is on track to return to the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Wild. Theodore has not played in any of the last 14 games for Vegas since injuring his arm during the 4 Nations Face-Off. He is expected to slot back into the top-four defensive group and the top power-play unit. The offensively skilled blue-liner has been very effective with the man advantage this season, recording two goals and 17 assists in 55 games. Overall, he has posted 48 points (seven goals, 41 assists). Ben Hutton will exit the lineup to make room for Theodore.

Tomas Hertl Misses Road Trip
Vegas Golden Knights forward Tomas Hertl (shoulder) is set to miss at least a week of action. After Hertl hurt his shoulder in Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon announced that the Czechia star would not join the team for this week's three-game road trip, which starts on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. Nicolas Roy is expected to take over as the second-line center in Tuesday's game. The 28-year-old has found his scoring gloves lately, lighting the lamp in back-to-back games. Tanner Pearson will fill the hole in the lineup, joining the fourth line. Victor Olofsson will move up to the third line against Minnesota.

Nick Jensen A Game-Time Decision On Tuesday
Ottawa Senators defenseman Nick Jensen (lower body) is viewed as a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against the Buffalo Sabres. Jensen has missed the previous four contests due to this injury. If he were to return, fantasy managers should expect the 34-year-old to have a role on the bottom defensive pairing. Before his injury, Jensen tallied one point over his last four contests with three hits and six blocked shots. Through 60 total games this season, Jensen found the back of the net three times and added 16 helpers. However, even though he has limited offensive upside, he does carry value in deeper category formats given his ability to block shots, as he has tallied 74 this season. He will likely replace Nikolas Matinpalo in the starting lineup.

Jordan Greenway Not Playing On Tuesday
Buffalo Sabres left wing Jordan Greenway (lower body) will not suit up during Tuesday's contest against the Ottawa Senators. Greenway suffered this injury during their victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Greenway's status leading up to their next contest on Thursday evening against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Greenway is currently riding a 13-game scoreless streak. During this skid, Greenway has logged just 10 shots on goal and added 40 hits with nine blocked shots. Through 34 contests this season, Greenway has scored three goals and added five helpers. The 28-year-old has tallied an impressive 100 hits with 29 blocked shots. While he remains sidelined, Jiri Kulich (concussion) will likely rejoin the starting lineup.

Pavel Buchnevich Unlikely To Play On Tuesday
St. Louis Blues left wing Pavel Buchnevich (illness) was not at Tuesday's morning skate and is unlikely to play this evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Buchnevich was unable to play in the previous two contests and is expected to miss his third-straight game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next game on Thursday evening when the Blues travel to Nashville to face the Predators. Through 10 games this month, Buchnevich has found the back of the net twice and added four helpers. Over his previous 14 contests, Buchnevich has tallied 13 points (three goals) with four of his coming on the power play. While Buchnevich remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Zachary Bolduc to continue to have a role in the St. Louis top-six.

Josh Norris Day-To-Day With Undisclosed Injury
Buffalo Sabres center Josh Norris (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. According to Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio, Norris has been dealing with this injury throughout the season but will not be shut down for the remainder of the campaign. The Sabres acquired Norris from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline. Norris has been sidelined for the past five contests and could continue to remain out as the Sabres are not in the playoff picture. Through six contests this month, Norris has tallied four points (two goals) with nine hits and four blocked shots. Through 56 contests this season, Norris has found the back of the net 21 times and added 14 helpers, with 11 of his total points coming on the power play. While he remains out, Ryan McLeod will continue to be deployed as the No. 2 center.

Jakob Chychrun Inks Eight-Year Extension
The Washington Capitals have signed defenseman Jakob Chychrun to an eight-year extension worth $72 million. This new contract begins during the 2025-2026 campaign. The Capitals acquired Chychrun from the Ottawa Senators during the offseason in exchange for Nick Jensen and a 2026 third-round selection. During his first season in Washington, Chychrun has been quite productive as he has scored 18 goals, which matches a career-high, and added 25 helpers, which is just two short of a career-high. Chychrun has also tallied 14 power-play points and added an impressive 47 hits and 79 blocked shots through 65 contests this season. This contract will keep Chychrun as a cornerstone on the Washington blue line for the foreseeable future. He is currently dealing with a wrist laceration and is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Winnipeg Jets.

Andrei Svechnikov Not Playing On Tuesday
Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will remain sidelined on Tuesday evening when the Hurricanes host the Nashville Predators. Svechnikov has missed the previous six contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Before his injury, Svechnikov was riding a five-game scoreless streak. However, before this minor skid, the 24-year-old tallied nine points (three goals) over his last eight contests. Through 63 games this season, Svechnikov has scored 18 goals and added 25 helpers, with 17 of his points coming on the power play. While he remains out, Taylor Hall should continue to see time on the second offensive line.

Alex DeBrincat Tallies Two Points On Monday
Detroit Red Wings right wing Alex DeBrincat tallied two points during their 5-1 victory over the Utah Hockey Club on Monday evening. DeBrincat would tally his first point of the evening with the primary assist on Marco Kasper's 14th goal of the season in the second frame. Later in the third period, DeBrincat found the back of the net with the empty-netter to put the game out of reach. Over his last six contests, DeBrincat has been quite productive on the scoresheet, tallying four goals with four helpers. During this stretch, he tallied 17 shots on goal and held a +5 rating. Before this recent surge, DeBrincat was riding a four-game scoreless streak. Through 70 games this season, DeBrincat has found the back of the net 33 times and added 28 helpers.

Jake Oettinger Shuts The Door On Wild On Monday
Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger stopped all 32 shots he saw en route to defeating the Minnesota Wild on Monday evening. The Wild held the slight advantage in the shot total, but Oettinger was able to lead the way. This outing extended Oettinger's winning streak to three games. During this stretch, Oettinger has held a .938 save percentage with a strong 1.65 GAA. However, before this recent stretch, the 26-year-old posted a much higher 3.58 GAA with a .883 save percentage over his last seven contests. Through 51 total games this season, the former 26th-overall selection has held a 33-15-1 record with a solid 2.49 GAA and a .909 save percentage. Fantasy managers should expect Oettinger to remain in the starting crease on Wednesday evening when they travel to Edmonton to face the Oilers.

Sean Monahan Dishes Out Two Helpers In Return
Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan tallied two helpers during their 4-3 shootout victory over the New York Islanders on Monday evening. Monahan missed the previous 28 contests due to a wrist injury. However, Monahan did not need much time to return to form as he posted a two-point outing on Monday. He tallied the primary helper on Boone Jenner's shorthanded goal in the second frame. Later in the third, he would add the secondary assist on Kirill Marchenko's game-tying goal. Before his injury, Monahan was enjoying a productive stretch as he tallied 16 points (five goals) over his last nine contests. Through 42 games this season, the 30-year-old has found the back of the net 14 times and added 29 helpers. He should continue to be deployed as the top center in the offense, which makes him a viable option in all formats.

Pius Suter Tallies Two Points On Monday
Vancouver Canucks center Pius Suter tallied two points during their 4-3 shootout victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday evening. Suter would open the scoring in the first period as he found the back of the net for the 21st time this season. Later in the third, Suter would tally the primary assist on Connor Garland's game-tying goal to force overtime in the final minute. This outing snapped a two-game scoreless streak for Suter. Before this brief two-game skid, Suter tallied seven points (five goals) over his last nine contests while tallying 17 shots on goal with 11 hits. Through 70 contests this season, Suter has already set a career-high in goals (21) and points (39). Fantasy managers should continue to view Suter as a viable option in standard formats while he continues to see top minutes in the Vancouver offense.

Petr Mrazek Exits On Monday
Detroit Red Wings goaltender Petr Mrazek (undisclosed) exited early during Monday's contest against the Utah Hockey Club. Mrazek suffered this injury during the second minute of the opening frame. He only stopped one shot before being replaced by Alex Lyon. Fantasy managers should monitor his status as the Red Wings will play in the second half of their back-to-back on Tuesday evening in Colorado. However, given the potential extent of the injury, Lyon or Cam Talbot will likely get the starting nod. Before Monday, Mrazek held a 2-2 record with a modest .901 save percentage and a 2.51 GAA over his last four contests. Through 38 games this season, the 33-year-old has posted a 12-21-2 record with an underwhelming 3.35 GAA and a .891 save percentage.

Declan Chisholm Exits Early On Monday
Minnesota Wild defenseman Declan Chisholm (undisclosed) exited Monday's contest against the Dallas Stars early. Chisholm suffered this injury after blocking a shot. After the contest, the team did not provide an update on his status. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Tuesday evening against the Vegas Golden Knights. Before exiting the contest, Chisholm logged two penalty minutes with two blocked shots. If he were to sit out on Tuesday evening, Jonas Brodin (lower body) could re-enter the starting lineup. Through 61 games this season, Chisholm has tallied just 12 points (two goals) and has added 29 hits with 66 blocked shots. Given his low ice time and minimal offensive production, he will not carry any fantasy value.
