  • Trevor Zegras ANA C
    Ducks' Trevor Zegras: Receives three-game suspension
    2h ago

    The NHL Department of Player Safety suspended Zegras on Monday for three games for interference against Detroit's Michael Rasmussen (upper body) on Sunday.

    Zegras delivered a late hit to Rasmussen's head with 2:43 remaining in the second period of Anaheim's 5-4 overtime loss to the Red Wings on Sunday. The 23-year-old Zegras will be eligible to play March 4 against Edmonton. He has produced seven goals, 16 points and 70 shots on net in 34 appearances this season. Due to Zegras' absence, Cutter Gauthier or Robby Fabbri could receive an increased role.

    Sourdif was recalled from AHL Charlotte on Monday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.

    Sourdif made three appearances for the Panthers last year, but he hasn't yet appeared in an NHL game this season. However, he'll enter the lineup for Tuesday's game in Nashville since Eetu Luostarinen (personal) will be unavailable.

    Islanders' Matt Martin: Surfaces on IR
    2h ago

    Martin (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

    Martin hasn't been in the lineup for the last 12 games, making it unclear when he suffered an injury. He has one assist, 12 shots on goal, 15 blocked shots and 68 hits in 24 appearances this season. The Islanders may update his status before Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers.

    Kraken's Josh Mahura: Puts up helper Sunday
    3h ago

    Mahura logged an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

    Mahura ended a four-game slump with the helper. The 26-year-old continues to fill a third-pairing role, and given Seattle's inconsistent offense as a team, Mahura shouldn't be expected to be a big contributor. He's produced seven assists, 49 shots on net, 63 hits and 37 blocked shots across 47 appearances this season.

    Lightning's Emil Lilleberg: Contributes assist Sunday
    3h ago

    Lilleberg notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

    Lilleberg has two helpers over six contests in February. The 24-year-old defenseman has racked up five assists over his last 14 games -- while it's not much, it's a noticeable uptick in offense for the heavy-hitting blueliner. He's at 13 helpers, 32 shots on net, 89 hits, 76 PIM and 46 blocked shots over 51 appearances while holding down a third-pairing role in his second NHL campaign.

  • Ryan Hartman MIN RW
    Wild's Ryan Hartman: Suspension reduced
    3h ago

    Hartman's suspension was dropped to eight games from 10, the NHL announced Monday.

    Hartman has already served four games of his initial 10-game suspension and will now be eligible to return against Seattle on March 4. Prior to his ban, the 30-year-old winger was bogged down in an eight-game goal drought, during which he registered 14 shots and three assists. Once eligible to play, Hartman could slot into a first-line role with Matt Boldy and Mats Zuccarello -- though Marco Rossi has been thriving in that spot since Hartman has been unavailable.

  • Brayden Point TB C
    Lightning's Brayden Point: Dishes assist in win
    3h ago

    Point registered an assist and took two shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 victory over the Kraken.

    Point was the lone helper on Nikita Kucherov's third-period goal. The 28-year-old Point is up to 28 helpers, 59 points and 131 shots in 51 appearances this year. The Lightning's top-line center brought his point streak up to four games, with three goals and three assists in that span. Playing with Team Canada during the 4 Nations Face-Off seems to have helped Point stay ready to contribute to Tampa Bay's hopes in the playoff race. With 31 goals, he is tied for third-most in the league and trails only Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl (42) and Toronto's William Nylander (33). Point has strong value in all fantasy formats for the rest of the season while skating alongside one of the league's best playmakers in Kucherov.

  • Shane Wright SEA C
    Kraken's Shane Wright: Finds the scoresheet in loss
    4h ago

    Wright scored on his lone shot attempt, blocked three shots and dished out two hits in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.

    Wright tallied the lone goal of the game for the Kraken with just under five minutes remaining in the third period. The 21-year-old center has quietly been on a tear over the past month with 12 points in his last 10 games. Overall, Wright is up to 13 goals, 34 points, 57 shots on net and 44 blocks in 56 games this season. The No. 4 pick from the 2022 NHL Entry Draft is having a solid first full season in the NHL and could reach the 50-point mark if he is able to carry this momentum throughout the rest of the season. Wright is a strong waiver wire target in most formats given his recent success on offense.

  • Mason McTavish ANA C
    Ducks' Mason McTavish: Supplies assist in overtime loss
    4h ago

    McTavish notched an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Sunday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

    McTavish had gone three games without a point prior to Sunday. Before the short slump, he had seven goals and three assists over a 10-game span. The 22-year-old saw 19:18 of ice time Sunday, his third-highest total in a game this season, which bodes well for his usage going forward. He's at 28 points, 108 shots on net, 50 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-4 rating across 50 appearances, putting him on pace to again reach the 40-point mark.

  • Luke Glendening TB C
    Lightning's Luke Glendening: Nets goal in win
    4h ago

    Glendening scored a goal, took two shots on net and had two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over Seattle.

    Glendening tallied a goal just over 90 seconds after Nikita Kucherov scored in the third period. The 35-year-old Glendening now has four goals, seven points, 41 shots on net and 82 hits in 56 appearances this season. While his value in fantasy is limited on Tampa Bay's fourth line, he has three points in his past five games and is gaining momentum offensively after a 22-game point drought.

  • Nick Paul TB C
    Lightning's Nick Paul: Tallies goal in third straight
    4h ago

    Paul scored an empty-net goal and added two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win against Seattle.

    Paul's empty-netter helped seal the win for Tampa Bay with just under two minutes left to play. With the goal, Paul has scored in his previous three games dating back to Feb. 8 before the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Overall, Paul is up to 17 goals, 31 points and 92 shots on net in 50 appearances this year. Tampa's third-line center has eight goals since the start of 2025 but only three assists in 22 outings in that span. While better options are likely on the waiver wire in fantasy, he is close to the pace needed to set a career high in points, which he established with 46 points over 82 contests in 2023-24. If he can become a more consistent playmaker, he could have increased value in deeper leagues.

    Lightning's Nikita Kucherov: Lights lamp in win
    4h ago

    Kucherov found the back of the net and took three shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win against the Kraken.

    After missing Tampa Bay's last game before the 4 Nations Face-Off break with an upper-body injury, Kucherov's return to the lineup saw him extend his point streak to seven games. He scored midway through the third period to give the Lightning a 2-0 advantage. Overall, the 31-year-old right winger has 26 goals, 83 points, 182 shots on net and a plus-13 rating in 53 appearances this season. Kucherov ranks third in the league with 83 points which trails only Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon (87) and Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl (86). While the Hart Trophy winner from 2019 is unlikely to replicate his 144-point outburst from a year ago, Kucherov will likely be in the conversation for the award again this season.

  • Brandon Hagel TB LW
    Lightning's Brandon Hagel: Tallies two points
    5h ago

    Hagel netted a shorthanded goal, dished an assist and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-1 win against Seattle.

    Hagel's return from playing with Team Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off was an all-around performance highlighted by acquiring two points at a skater disadvantage. His shorthanded goal opened scoring on the night in the second period and his assist was on Nick Paul's empty-net tally. Overall, Hagel is up to 27 goals, 37 assists and 161 shots on net in 56 appearances this season. At 64 points, the 26-year-old winger ranks tied for the 12th-most points in the league and is tied for 10th in goals. He should continue to provide fantasy managers great value while skating in Tampa Bay's top six and on the first power-play unit.

  • Tomas Tatar NJ LW
    Devils' Tomas Tatar: Finds twine Sunday
    5h ago

    Tatar scored a goal, went plus-2 and blocked three shots in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Predators.

    Tatar ended his seven-game goal drought with the tally. In that slump, he managed just one assist. The 34-year-old winger has often seen bottom-six minutes, though he was on the second line at even strength Sunday. Tatar is at 14 points, 50 shots on net, 39 hits and a plus-4 rating across 53 appearances this season, so fantasy managers can likely find more productive players on the waiver wire in most circumstances.

    4h ago

    Montour recorded an assist in Sunday's 4-1 loss against Tampa Bay.

    Montour's helper came late in the game on Shane Wright's goal to prevent the shutout. The 30-year-old Montour is up to 18 assists, 28 points and 166 shots on net in 58 appearances this season. Montour got off to a hot start this season with nine points in his first 10 games but has just seven points since the start of 2025, a span of 21 contests. It is encouraging to see him get back on the scoresheet, but he will need to showcase more consistent offensive output to get back to being a top defenseman for fantasy.

    Gustafsson notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win over the Ducks.

    Gustafsson put an end to his 12-game slump with the helper. Prior to that dry spell, he racked up two goals and six assists over a nine-game span, so he could tap into a bit more offense moving forward. For the season, the blueliner has been fairly limited on offense with 14 points (eight on the power play), 55 shots on net and a minus-17 rating across 49 appearances.

    5h ago

    Faulk notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

    Faulk ended a six-game point drought when he helped out on Brayden Schenn's equalizer midway through the second period. Toward the end of the frame, Faulk set up Dylan Holloway for the Blues' third goal. It's been a bit of a rough year for Faulk, who has been limited to 21 points with 89 shots on net, 62 hits, 75 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating over 54 appearances. He had 30 points in 60 outings last year, and while his raw production may exceed that mark in 2024-25, the per-game pace is likely to be lower. He contributes enough all around to be rostered in most fantasy formats, but he's not a must-have blueliner.

    This was Casey's first NHL action since Oct. 19. The 21-year-old is set to compete with Simon Nemec for playing time during the absence of Jonas Siegenthaler (lower body). Casey has made a good first impression with five points (four goals, one assist), nine shots on net and a plus-4 rating over nine contests, though he is seeing sheltered minutes on the third pairing.

    Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy: Halts 36 shots in win
    5h ago

    Vasilevskiy made 36 saves on 37 shot attempts in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.

    Vasilevsky tended a clean net for the first 55 minutes of Sunday's contest before conceding Seattle's lone goal of the night. Sunday's contest raised his record to 26-15-3 with a 2.29 GAA and a .920 save percentage in 44 outings this season. He ranks third among goaltenders in wins and tied for second in save percentage. The 30-year-old netminder remains an elite play between the pipes down the stretch and is on pace to contend for the 35-win mark on the season, a level he hasn't reached since 2021-22. His next opportunity to guard the crease is Tuesday at home against the Oilers.

With David Rittich having lost four of his last five outings, the Kings may rely heavily on Kuemper heading into the final weeks of the NHL season -- though a road back-to-back against Dallas and St. Louis on Friday and Saturday, respectively, will likely see the duo split the workload.

    Daws has made three appearances this season, and while that's not enough to generate a strong enough sample size, there's no doubt he's turned heads so far. Over those three outings, including two starts, Daws has given up just two goals across 61 shots. The 24-year-old should get the chance to return to the ice at some point during the Devils' current road trip, as the team's next four games will be away from home.
