Shayne Gostisbehere • D • Hurricanes

Shayne Gostisbehere Unavailable Against Penguins

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (lower body) will be sidelined for a second straight game on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He suffered a lower-body injury last week, and there haven't been any updates regarding a potential return date for Gostisbehere. Losing Gostisbehere has been a big blow for Carolina, as the veteran has averaged nearly a point per game this season. He has notched 11 goals and 32 assists in 45 appearances. Mike Reilly will keep filling in for him on Tuesday, but he doesn't hold any fantasy value. Alexander Nikishin has benefited the most from Gostisbehere's absence, replacing him on the first power-play unit.

Marcus Johansson Returns From Two-Game Absence

Minnesota Wild left wing Marcus Johansson (upper body) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Utah Mammoth. He is expected to link up with Joel Eriksson Ek and Matt Boldy on the second line. Nico Sturm will make room in the lineup for Johansson, who has missed two games due to an upper-body injury. Johansson is one point short of his sixth 40-point campaign. He has contributed 13 goals and 26 assists in 57 contests this season. Utah's defense can be tough to break down, making this a challenging matchup for Johansson and the Wild.

Darren Raddysh Sits Out Tuesday's Game

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Darren Raddysh (personal) won't play on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. He is away from the team to attend his father's funeral. Raddysh has been excellent this season, registering 58 points (17 goals, 41 assists), 153 shots, 56 blocks, and 59 hits in 56 appearances. Victor Hedman will work on the first power-play unit until Raddysh returns. Charle-Edouard D'Astous is penciled in for a spot on the second unit against Columbus, giving him additional fantasy value. Tampa's blue line will also be without Erik Cernak (undisclosed) on Tuesday, with Steve Santini set to enter the lineup.

Sam Reinhart Out Tuesday

Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart (undisclosed) won't play on Tuesday against the Detroit Red Wings. He is dealing with an unspecified health issue and must sit out his first game of the season. Even with the Panthers struggling this season, Reinhart has remained productive on the offensive end, scoring 28 goals and 59 points in 63 games. Florida's frontline is also without Brad Marchand (lower body), allowing Luke Kunin and Vincent Hinostroza to enter the lineup. However, the two will skate in fourth-line roles, making them unlikely to offer fantasy value.

John Gibson Available Tuesday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender John Gibson (undisclosed) will start Tuesday's matchup with the Florida Panthers. The veteran netminder missed the final period in Sunday's 3-0 win over New Jersey due to an undisclosed injury. Gibson has been top-class for the Red Wings during his first year with the team, posting a 24-13-2 record. He has recorded a 2.52 goals-against average, a .907 save percentage, and four shutouts. Tuesday night presents Gibson with a chance to redeem himself after last Friday's 3-1 loss to the Panthers.

Dylan Larkin Misses Second Consecutive Game

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (leg) will remain out on Tuesday against the Florida Panthers. The Red Wings captain injured his right leg last week and will sit out a second consecutive game. Andrew Copp is expected to continue as Detroit's first-line center on Tuesday. Flanked by prolific wingers Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, Copp will carry additional fantasy value until Larkin returns. As a result of Larkin's absence, Marco Kasper also rejoined the top six on Sunday against the New Jersey Devils and is likely to retain his spot for Tuesday's game.

James Reimer Posts Shutout With Seventh Franchise

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.

Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle had a power-play assist in Monday's 2-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks, extending his point streak to 13 games. The German star collected his helper early in the third period on a goal from Brady Tkachuk. This is already the second time this season that Stutzle has managed a point streak of at least 13 games.

Justin Sourdif Amasses Three Points In Monday's Win

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.

Connor Bedard Sets Up Two Goals in Overtime Win

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.

Erik Gudbranson to Miss Three-Game Road Trip

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.

Evander Kane Dealing With Upper-Body Injury

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.

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.

Anton Forsberg Escapes With Overtime Victory

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.

Artemi Panarin Collects Two Points Against Former Team

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.

James Reimer Starting Monday Night

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.

In 58 outings this season, Hanley has registered seven assists, 34 shots, and 76 blocks.
