Oilers' Tristan Jarry: Defending home crease Wednesday
Jarry will start Wednesday's home game against the Flyers, Ryan Rishaug of TSN reports.
Jarry recently dealt with an illness, and although he was available as a backup in the last two matchups, he didn't appear in either game. He'll return to the crease Wednesday against the Flyers, who have logged just 2.25 goals per game this year, which is the second-worst mark in the league.

Ducks' Ian Moore: Might be available soon
Moore (lower body) might be an option to play by the end of the week, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports Wednesday.
Moore hasn't made his season debut yet because of the injury. He's expected to miss Wednesday's game in Nashville, but perhaps he'll be an option Saturday versus the Islanders or Sunday against Calgary. Moore had four goals and 12 points in 67 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. He might play on the third pairing once he's healthy.

Flyers' Rasmus Ristolainen: Considered game-time decision
Ristolainen (hand) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Oilers, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
While head coach Rick Tocchet said after Wednesday's morning skate that he thinks Ristolainen will play against Edmonton, it also sounds as though the Flyers want to monitor how he feels in the hours leading up to puck drop before officially activating him from injured reserve. Across four appearances this year, Ristolainen has recorded a goal, seven hits and seven blocked shots while averaging 17:21 of ice time.

Flyers' Dan Vladar: Tending twine Wednesday
Vladar will start Wednesday's road game against Edmonton, Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Vladar has had somewhat inconsistent results in recent weeks, going 1-1-2 with a 3.44 GAA and .833 save percentage across his last four appearances. He's been in a timeshare with Joseph Woll recently, as the two netminders have alternated starts over the past week.

Sharks' Yaroslav Askarov: Between pipes against Pittsburgh
Askarov will start Wednesday's home game against the Penguins, Curtis Pashelka of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Askarov returned to the win column Monday against the Islanders following a three-game losing streak, and he'll draw a second consecutive start Wednesday. The Penguins rank 15th in the NHL with 3.17 goals per game to begin the regular season.

Bobby Brink RW | MIN
Wild's Bobby Brink: Opens scoring Tuesday
Brink scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canadiens.
This tally ended his six-game goal drought. He had three assists in that span. Brink continues to fill a middle-six role for the Wild, which has made him a decent secondary scorer for a strong team. He's up to two goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net, 21 hits, 13 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 20 appearances, putting him on pace to reach the 40-point mark for the second time in his career.

Canadiens' Nick Suzuki: Nets lone goal in loss
Suzuki scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Wild.
Suzuki scored with 1:38 left in the third period to force the extra session. The star center has four points over three games since he returned from a six-game absence due to a hand injury, the first missed appearances of his career. Suzuki is at seven goals, nine assists, 34 shots on net, 17 hits and a plus-10 rating over 12 contests. The 27-year-old topped the 100-point mark for the first time in 2025-26, and even with a little missed time this year, he could still challenge that threshold again.

Thomas Chabot D | OTT
Senators' Thomas Chabot: Dishes two assists
Chabot notched two assists and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Chabot is on a five-game assist streak, picking up six helpers in that span. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to play a large role on the Senators' second pairing and second power-play unit. He's earned a goal, nine helpers, 27 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 15 contests this season. Chabot won't lead a fantasy blue line, but he's a good complementary option.

Miro Heiskanen D | DAL
Stars' Miro Heiskanen: Won't play Thursday
Heiskanen (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets, Stars TV host Brien Rea reports.
Heiskanen will miss a third consecutive matchup Thursday, but he's been skating on his own recently and is hopeful that he'll be able to return to game action over the weekend. The Stars have games Saturday against the Sabres and Sunday against the Panthers, and it's possible that the 27-year-old is back in action for one of those matchups. Trey Taylor was called up from AHL Texas on Wednesday and will presumably play against Winnipeg.

Ridly Greig C | OTT
Senators' Ridly Greig: Scores in return
Greig scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals.
Greig missed two games due to a lower-body injury. He returned to a third-line role role but was not included in the power-play mix for this contest. Greig has had a modest start to the season with three goals, two assists, 21 shots on net, 18 hits, 16 blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 15 appearances. He works best for fantasy managers who can sacrifice some scoring for category coverage.
