  • Bobby McMann C | TOR

    Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: Third straight two-point game

    McMann scored twice Thursday in a 5-1 win over Carolina.

    McMann scored on the Leafs first shot of the game at 0:53 of the first period. He fires a short snap shot from the slot that hit the post, bounced off Frederik Andersen and trickled over the line. He added an empty net goal for good measure. It's McMann's third consecutive two-point game (three goals, three assists; seven shots). He's a valuable daily play in the short term.

  • Blues' Robert Thomas: Managing injury

    Thomas (undisclosed) was limited in the third period of Thursday's game versus the Bruins, Matthew DeFranks of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Thomas was managing an injury rather than getting benched in what ended up being a 5-2 loss for the Blues. While he was able to stay on the bench, fantasy managers will want to double-check on the center's status for Saturday's game versus the Senators.

  • Shane Pinto C | OTT

    Senators' Shane Pinto: Hurt in Thursday's game

    Pinto (lower body) was injured versus the Rangers on Thursday and won't return to the game.

    Pinto can be considered day-to-day until more information is available. He was injured on a hit in the first period. His status should be updated prior to Saturday's game versus the Blues.

  • Tyler Seguin C | DAL

    Stars' Tyler Seguin: On injured reserve

    Seguin (knee) is on injured reserve, per the NHL media site.

    Seguin was already expected to be out long term, so this move isn't surprising. He has seven goals and 17 points in 27 appearances this season. The full extent of his ACL injury isn't known, but if it's a tear, then this will likely be the second straight regular season in which Seguin has logged fewer than 30 games.

  • Adam Edstrom C | NYR

    Rangers' Adam Edstrom: Unavailable Thursday

    Edstrom (lower body) will miss Thursday's game against Ottawa, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

    Edstrom also missed Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over Dallas. He has two goals and four points in 24 appearances this season. Edstrom might draw back into a fourth-line spot once he's healthy.

  • Marco Rossi C | MIN

    Wild's Marco Rossi: Not on road trip

    Rossi (lower body) will not join the team on its current four-game road trip, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports Thursday.

    The Wild opened the road trip Tuesday with a 1-0 win in Edmonton. Rossi will miss his 10th straight game Thursday in Calgary. Rossi had four goals and nine assists in 17 games before he was placed on injured reserve.

  • Canadiens' Oliver Kapanen: Lights lamp Wednesday

    Kapanen scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Jets.

    Kapanen also led the Canadiens' forwards with 20:07 of ice time as the team relied heavily on its top six. The 22-year-old has two goals and two helpers over his last eight games. He's played well enough to carve out consistent middle-six minutes from the start of the season, but he's definitely trending up with 16-plus minutes in three straight games. On the year, he has eight goals, six helpers, 38 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-3 rating through 26 outings.

  • Devils' Luke Glendening: Stuck in slump

    Glendening's point drought reached 15 games in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Stars.

    While none of the Devils had a particularly good game Wednesday, Glendening has now gone over a month without a point. That's to be expected for a player who sees mostly defensive usage in a fourth-line role. The 36-year-old has three assists, 16 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 27 appearances this season. Glendening's place in the lineup should remain safe until Jack Hughes (finger) is healthy, which isn't expected to happen until early January.

  • Sean Monahan C | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Sean Monahan: Set to play Thursday

    Monahan (undisclosed) will play in Thursday's game against the Red Wings, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.

    Monahan exited Monday's win over New Jersey due to an undisclosed injury, but he'll be able to suit up a few days later. He hasn't yet missed a game this season, and he's recorded five goals, eight assists, 17 hits, eight PIM and six blocked shots while averaging 18:31 of ice time over 26 appearances.

  • Lars Eller C | OTT

    Senators' Lars Eller: Out of action Thursday

    Eller (undisclosed) will sit out Thursday's game against the Rangers, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

    Eller was likely injured Tuesday in Montreal, as he logged only 10:49 of ice time. He has been without a point in his last 14 games and has two goals and six points in 26 appearances this season. The Senators recalled Stephen Halliday from AHL Belleville to replace Eller in the lineup.
