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.

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.

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.

Brossoit will start Wednesday's home game against the Predators, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

Brossoit has made four starts since being called up from AHL San Diego, and he's gone 4-0-0 with a 3.25 GAA and .877 save percentage. He'll draw a second consecutive start Wednesday as the Ducks ride his hot hand.

Dubois scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Senators.

Dubois has earned three points, four shots on net and a plus-5 rating over his last two games. The 28-year-old forward is up to three goals, seven assists, 18 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-10 rating over 11 appearances. It's tough to count on any single Capitals forward for steady offense, but the team's overall play has made most members of the top nine good enough to help in fantasy.

Matheson (lower body) will travel with the Canadiens ahead of Thursday's road game against Boston, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Matheson has been sidelined since late October due to his lower-body injury, and he was expected to miss approximately two weeks. He was a full participant in Tuesday's morning skate, and although he was held out for the Canadiens' matchup against the Wild, he could return to action a few days later. The 32-year-old has recorded a goal, three assists, 13 blocked shots, six PIM and five hits while averaging 23:45 of ice time across eight appearances to begin the regular season.

Fowler will start Thursday's road game against Boston, Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette reports.

Following a seven-game winning streak to close out October, Fowler has been slightly more inconsistent in early November, going 1-0-2 with a 2.94 GAA and .909 save percentage across his three outings to begin the month. However, he's slated to draw a third consecutive start Thursday in what will be a tough matchup against the Bruins, who rank fifth in the league with 3.72 goals per game this year.

Ristolainen (hand) is expected to play Wednesday in Edmonton, per Jackie Spiegel of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Ristolainen still needs to be activated off injured reserve before his return is certain. If Ristolainen does play, then David Jiricek will probably exit the lineup as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Ristolainen has a goal, seven hits and seven blocks in four appearances in 2026-27.

Myatovic was reassigned to AHL San Diego on Wednesday.

Myatovic has no points, four hits and one block in four appearances with Anaheim in 2026-27. He also has five goals and eight points in 11 outings with San Diego this campaign.

Head coach Travis Green said Wednesday that he expects Cousins (upper body) to miss at least a week to 10 days, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.

Cousins took a hard hit from Jakob Chychrun during Tuesday's game against the Capitals and was briefly knocked out. The Senators indicated after the game that Cousins wasn't doing well, and the 33-year-old is facing a multi-game absence. Sammy Blais is a candidate to see increased playing time while Cousins is sidelined.
