McMann scored a goal in regulation and notched the winner in the shootout in a 3-2 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday.

His first goal came on the power play to open the scoring. McMann has a modest four points, including three goals, in seven contests so far. Two of his goals have come with the man advantage. McMann delivered 14 points, including 10 goals, in just 18 games in Seattle after arriving in a trade with Toronto last year. His Cy Young approach to points may be continuing, especially if he keeps up his current 280-plus shot projection. McMann already has 24 shots in just seven contests so far.

Jenner scored a goal Tuesday in a 4-2 loss to Carolina.

Three games. Three goals. Jenner is currently tied with Alex Tuch for the team lead in goals (three). The Caps may have the deepest forward corps in the NHL and that means opportunities for production will come -- it's almost impossible to stop every forward unit on any given night. And with focus on the top lines, Jenner and his bottom-six compadres will get ample opportunities to score. He will have increased upside in bruise leagues with his consistent triple-digit annual result in hits.

Greig was held out of the third period of Tuesday's game versus the Blues due to a strain, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports.

The general area of the strain was not revealed. The Senators lost the contest 7-2, so there may have been an element of caution in keeping Greig out. The 24-year-old is day-to-day ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Islanders.

Aho delivered two assists in a 4-2 win over Washington on Tuesday.

The points extended Aho's streak to seven games and 13 points (six goals, seven assists; 23 shots). Those 13 points moved him into a tie for the NHL lead in points. Aho has been Carolina's most consistent point producers for as long as he's been in the league. He has 316 goals, 406 assists, 2,092 shots and 221 power-play points (78 goals) in 763 games. Aho has had no hangover from a long playoffs that culminated in a Stanley Cup.

Jankowski score a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.

Jankowski extended his scoring streak to five games (five goals, one assist). And with news of Jordan Staal's (calf) multi-month absense, the pivot is going to see continued opportunity and ice time. Jankowski's face-off effectiveness is less than ideal (44.4 percent), but he could provide depth offense in deep formats.

Bourque (upper body) will not play versus the Golden Knights on Tuesday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.

Bourque is set to miss a second straight game due to the injury. Vitali Pinchuk will remain in the lineup in Bourque's absence. Since Bourque was labeled a game-time decision, he'll likely be in contention to return Thursday versus the Sharks.

Johnston (illness) won't play Tuesday versus the Avalanche.

Johnston will miss at least one game while under the weather. His status for Wednesday's rematch in Colorado has yet to be determined. The Stars will likely have to dress seven blueliners to cover Johnston's absence, with Kyle Capobianco set to come in Tuesday.

Goodrow (illness) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's home clash against the Bruins, per Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News.

Sharks' winger Colin Graf confirmed that he would be skating alongside Goodrow on the fourth line for Tuesday's game, indicating that the latter appears to have shaken off the effects of the illness he was dealing with. Across five games to begin the season, the 33-year-old Goodrow has posted three shots on net, 16 hits and two blocked shots.

Scott (undisclosed) was placed on waivers Tuesday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Scott started the 2026-27 campaign on Dallas' injured non-roster list. Now that he's healthy, he will likely report to AHL Texas if he clears waivers. Scott notched 18 goals and 32 points in 72 regular-season games for AHL Texas in 2025-26.

Eriksson Ek scored an empty-net goal on three shots, added three hits and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Eriksson Ek's empty-netter was his first goal of the season. The 29-year-old has filled his usual top-six role, but the offense has been a little slow to come for him. He's at three points, 17 shots on net, seven hits, six PIM and a plus-5 rating through six appearances. Eriksson Ek carries some injury risk, but fantasy managers should be patient with him as he gets his 2026-27 campaign on track, as he also has 50-point potential with decent all-around production.
