Drew Doughty Could Return Thursday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (lower body) will remain out on Monday against Colorado but could return to the lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Islanders.

Yet Doughty has struggled to make an impact offensively, posting 14 points (three goals, 11 assists).

Connor Murphy Moving to Edmonton

The Edmonton Oilers are acquiring defenseman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a second-round draft pick, Sportsnet's Mark Spector reports. The Blackhawks will retain 50 percent of Murphy's $4.4 million cap hit. The Oilers, who have allowed 3.33 goals per game this season, hope Murphy will help improve their defense. From a fantasy perspective, he doesn't have a lot of value. In 60 outings with the Blackhawks this season, Murphy recorded 13 points (four goals, nine assists), 55 shots, 87 blocks, and 62 hits. The 32-year-old moved to Chicago in 2017 after being a first-round pick in 2011 by the Arizona Coyotes.

Lukas Dostal Sets New Career High With 24th Win

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal saved 32 of 34 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout victory over the Calgary Flames, establishing a new career high with his 24th win of the season. Dostal has gone 24-13-2 across 40 starts. He's the first Ducks netminder this decade with as many wins in a season. The Czech netminder has won each of his last five starts and is on an 11-1-0 run. Even with a modest .896 save percentage and a 2.97 goals-against average, Dostal is well-positioned for further success thanks to the Ducks' potent offense, which averages 3.25 goals per game.

Robert Thomas Returns to Action With Multi-Point Effort

St. Louis Blues center Robert Thomas notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's surprising 3-1 road win against the Minnesota Wild. Thomas was back from a 13-game absence after missing time due to a leg injury and a personal matter. He set up Logan Mailloux for the game-tying goal in the second period and finished the scoring with an empty-net goal in the third. Thomas has had a frustrating year on a bad team but has now registered multiple points in each of his last two outings. He will aim for his first three-game multi-point streak of the season on Wednesday night against the Seattle Kraken. Thomas sits second in scoring on the Blues squad, with 35 points (12 goals, 23 assists) in 43 games.

Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk tallied three assists in a high-scoring 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders on Sunday. Tkachuk kicked things off with a power-play assist before registering two even-strength helpers, becoming the third player in Panthers history with 10-career three-assist games. After missing the start of the season due to offseason surgery, Tkachuk has posted five goals and eight assists in 13 games. 10 of his points have come in the last eight contests, showing that Tkachuk has hit top gear after dealing with some rust.

Matthew Schaefer Has First Three-Point Outing

New York Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer recorded his first career three-point game in Sunday's 5-4 victory over the Florida Panthers. The 18-year-old contributed two goals and an assist, becoming the third-youngest defenseman in league history to record a three-point game. He is now the fourth rookie blue-liner to score 20 goals in a season, while Denis Potvin was previously the only defenseman to reach 20 goals with the Islanders. Schaefer has exceeded expectations in his first year in the league, recording 44 points (20 goals, 24 assists), 146 shots, 84 blocks, and a plus-14 rating in 61 outings. He has a legitimate shot at reaching 60 points, something only 10 rookie defensemen have ever accomplished.

Teuvo Teravainen Pots Two Goals In Sunday's Win

Chicago Blackhawks winger Teuvo Teravainen netted two goals in Sunday's 4-0 victory over the Utah Mammoth. The Finnish veteran started the scoring with a power-play goal and iced the game with a short-handed tally. After shaking off health issues, Teravainen has been productive for the Blackhawks, averaging a point per game over his last five outings. However, he relies mostly on the power play to increase his point total, as four of Teravainen's last five points have come with the man advantage. As a result, Teravainen has more power-play points (15) than even-strength points (11) this season. He has totaled 12 goals and 15 assists in 53 appearances. With Chicago set to face Winnipeg and Vancouver next, two teams struggling to kill penalties, Teravainen's scoring surge could continue.

Soderblom improved to 6-9-2, posting his first shutout of the campaign. He has a 3.67 goals-against average and a .879 save percentage. Although Soderblom impressed on Sunday, Spencer Knight has the No. 1 spot in a firm grip in Chi-Town and should continue to get the bulk of the starts.

Despite a solid 2.68 goals-against average, Kuemper has gone 14-12-9 across 37 starts this season with a .897 save percentage. Anton Forsberg shut out the Calgary Flames on Saturday night with 29 saves and is likely to start a second consecutive game on Monday.
