Granlund had two assists, including one on the power play, and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Granlund has quietly assembled a five-game point streak (two goals, six assists). He's earned five of his eight points during the streak on the power play. The 34-year-old is up to four goals, 12 helpers, 26 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 16 appearances this season, primarily as the Ducks' second-line center.

Nesterenko scored an empty-net goal, added five hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Nesterenko has a goal and an assist over four games to begin November. He's still not a lock to be in the lineup, and he'll often be on the fourth line when he does play. The 25-year-old has three goals, two assists, 18 shots on net, 40 hits and a plus-1 rating across 15 appearances this season.

Carlsson scored a power-play goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-3 win over the Flames.

Carlsson is up to four goals and 11 assists during a seven-game point streak, a span that includes six multi-point efforts. The 21-year-old had a bumpy October, but he's in great form early in November while playing a leading role for the Ducks' offense. He's at six goals, 20 helpers, 17 power-play points, 27 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 17 appearances.

McCarron (undisclosed) didn't finish Friday's 4-1 win over the Sharks and is questionable for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Russo relayed that McCarron was upended three times on one shift in the third period, which ultimately forced the forward out of the game. Nick Foligno (upper body) and Marcus Foligno (lower body) are also questionable for Saturday's game, so the Wild have several moving parts for the second half of their back-to-back. McCarron has been centering the second line of late, so Danila Yurov and Ryan Hartman should receive increased responsibilities if McCarron is unavailable Saturday.

Celebrini scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Wild.

Celebrini has scored in back-to-back games to shake off a six-game goal drought. The 20-year-old superstar now needs to get some supporting offense from his teammates, who have total just five goals over their last four games. Celebrini has seven tallies, 18 points, 65 shots on net, 11 hits, 13 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a minus-6 rating across 16 outings this season.

Johnson scored a goal on five shots and added a power-play assist in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Sabres.

Johnson is now on a seven-game point streak (four goals, seven assists). The 24-year-old has been one of the Blue Jackets' few consistent contributors on offense to begin 2026-27. He's up to eight goals, eight helpers, 34 shots on net and a plus-2 rating across 15 appearances, production that has earned him a spot on the top line and first power-play unit.

Norris scored a pair of goals on three shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Norris ended a six-game slump with the pair of tallies. The 27-year-old has had trouble getting his offense going from a bottom-six role lately, especially with his power-play time drying up. He has four goals, one assist, 19 shots on net, 21 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Monahan (lower body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game in Buffalo.

According to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, Monahan exited the game after blocking a shot during the middle frame. The 32-year-old Monahan logged an even-strength assist and three blocked shots in 11:06 of ice time prior to his departure. The Blue Jackets' next game isn't until Tuesday versus the Panthers, so Monahan will have some time to recover for that matchup if his injury isn't overly serious.

Turcotte (undisclosed) has been upgraded to day-to-day according to head coach Peter Laviolette, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site on Friday.

Turcotte's day-to-day status doesn't guarantee he'll be in action versus the Penguins on Saturday, but it is certainly a step in the right direction. In three games this season, the 25-year-old center recorded just one shot to go with one assist, four hits and one block. Considering the Illinois native has never played more than 70 games in a season and has failed to reach the 30-point threshold in his career, fantasy managers may not be too worried about his return-to-play timeline.

Acciari scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers.

Acciari had a brief stint on the top line earlier in the season, but he's since returned to his usual fourth-line duties. The 34-year-old offers more physicality than offense, making him a risky option in most fantasy formats. Through 18 contests, he's earned three points, 17 shots on net, 40 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating.
