Veleno logged an assist and four blocked shots in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers.

Veleno saw 15:51 of ice time in this contest, his second-highest total of the season. The 25-year-old also landed on a line with defensive ace Jake Evans, which could lead to more ice time if that duo, plus Brendan Gallagher, stays together. Veleno is not a fantasy option in most formats -- he has just two points with 23 shots on net, 58 hits and a minus-10 rating over 26 outings.

Carrick's point drought is up to 11 games after he failed to get on the scoresheet in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Canadiens.

Furthermore, Carrick has just one helper over 22 games since he scored in an Oct. 28 win over the Canucks. The 33-year-old center is valuable enough to the Rangers in a fourth-line and penalty-killing role that he stays in the lineup even during slumps. He has six points, 34 shots on net, 50 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 33 appearances, but he's likely to fall far short of his career-high 20 points from last year.

Chinakhov scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Chinakhov ended a 19-game point drought with the tally. He was scratched just three times in that span, as the Blue Jackets have put him in a fourth-line role, likely to give other teams a look if they want to trade for the winger. The 24-year-old has a meager five points, 34 shots on net, 25 hits and a minus-6 rating over 26 appearances, though he had 29 points in 53 games in 2023-24 and may have more upside if he gets a change of scenery.

Hutton scored a goal on four shots in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Hutton has scored twice on nine shots over six games in December. He continues to see steady time on the third pairing in the absence of Jeremy Lauzon (undisclosed). Hutton has appeared in every game since Nov. 16 and in 24 of 31 contests this season, earning nine points, 36 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Daccord was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports, indicating he will patrol the home crease against Buffalo on Sunday.

Daccord is coming off a 24-save performance in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kings. He has gone 8-7-4 this season with a 2.94 GAA and an .893 save percentage across 19 appearances. Buffalo ranks 18th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this year.

Murashov will start Sunday's game against the Mammoth, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

The debut of Stuart Skinner remains on hold as the recent trade acquisition navigates visa issues. Murashov was recalled on an emergency basis Saturday, and he'll make the start Sunday after Arturs Silovs played in Saturday's 6-5 overtime loss to the Sharks. The 21-year-old Murashov has been solid in a small sample at the NHL level, going 1-1-1 with a 1.90 GAA and a .913 save percentage.

Ersson stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Ersson did what he could to keep the Flyers in the game, including stopping three shots during the shootout, but he was ultimately tagged with the loss. The 26-year-old has won only two of his past five starts, going 2-2-1 with a 2.54 GAA and an .897 save percentage in that span. He has posted a save percentage below the .900 mark in his past two starts.

Brink scored a goal and took two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Brink has eight goals this season, including two in his last five games. Brink is skating on the third line, and although he is also part of the second power-play unit, he won't have many opportunities to produce unless he moves into a top-six role. With only eight goals and 14 total points in 30 games, as well as a minus-4 rating, Brink hasn't done much to earn a promotion in the lineup.

Zegras recorded a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

Zegras participated in two of the Flyers' three goals in this win, setting up Bobby Brink's first-period goal and later adding one of his own before the end of that first frame. Zegras remains one of the Flyers' most productive players and has notched 30 points this season, with 12 goals and 18 assists.

Kochetkov stopped 15 of 18 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers.

Kochetkov didn't have his best performance throughout the game after posting an .833 save percentage, but he was excellent in the shootout and played a key role in this road win for the Hurricanes. Kochetkov has won five of his six starts this season, posting a 2.12 GAA and a .904 save percentage in those outings. He has not allowed more than three goals in any game this season.
