Gaucher was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Tuesday.

Gaucher appeared in one game for AHL Lehigh Valley before he rejoined the Flyers on Tuesday. The 25-year-old center has appeared in three games with Philadelphia so far this season, where he has tallied two PIM, a plus-1 rating, two shots on net, seven hits and three blocked shots. He'll likely be the 13th forward for Tuesday's clash against the Blue Jackets, but he'll have a decent shot at appearing in the second half of the Flyers' back to back on Wednesday.

Kartye deposited a goal, dished out an assist, placed two shots on net and put out five hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Kartye has been a pleasant surprise for the Rangers in the early stages of the new season. Monday's outing was his third multi-point performance of the 2026-27 season, where he's up to four goals, 10 points, 21 shots on net, a plus-1 rating and 38 hits across 14 appearances. He's looked like a whole new player since he was claimed off waivers by the Rangers late in the 2025-26 campaign, and he should continue to post strong category-coverage numbers from a top-six role for his new squad. Kartye is an excellent waiver-wire pickup in deep leagues, especially those that value banger stats.

Fox tallied a power-play goal, fired four shots on net and recorded two blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 loss to Los Angeles.

Fox reached a milestone in Monday's clash, as he suited up for his 500th career regular-season game. Despite the loss, he made it a memorable night with his power-play tally in the middle of the second period. Monday's tally was his first goal of the season, and he's now up to 17 points, a plus-2 rating, 17 shots on net and 25 blocked shots across 14 appearances this season. He's currently on a four-game point streak with a goal and seven assists in that span, making him one of the true elite blueliners to have in fantasy hockey. As long as he can stay healthy, the 28-year-old Fox should be able to challenge the 70-point mark once again.

Miller recorded a goal, launched six shots on net and served two PIM in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Miller positioned himself well in front of the crease to get the Rangers on the board Monday, as he redirected a pass from Tye Kartye into the back of the net. With Monday's twine finder, the 33-year-old Miller is up to four goals, 10 points, 22 shots on net, 18 hits and six blocked shots across 14 appearances. He's heating up as of late with three goals, four points and 10 shots on net over his last four outings. He remains a solid center option in fantasy that offers decent category-coverage numbers for fantasy managers in search of shots on net and hits.

Laferriere dished out two assists, including one on the power play, placed two shots on net and had three hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Laferriere has put on a playmaking clinic during the Kings' five-game road trip, as he's dished out five assists across the first four outings. One of his two apples in Monday's win came on Artemi Panarin's power-play goal, which helped Laferriere secure his first point of the season with a man advantage. Overall, the 24-year-old center is up to seven assists, nine points, 18 shots on net, 27 hits and nine blocked shots across 10 appearances. His strong category coverage numbers makes him a top waiver-wire pickup in leagues that value stats without the puck in addition to offensive contributions. Laferriere appears to have the No. 1 center role locked up for the foreseeable future, which should help him be relevant in standard fantasy formats as well.

Edmundson scored an empty-net goal, recorded an assist, posted a plus-3 rating and put two shots on net in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Edmundson's empty-net tally late in the third period was the fourth goal from a Kings' defenseman in Monday's big win. The goal was also his first of the season, bringing his season totals up to two points, a plus-4 rating, 14 shots on net, eight hits and 14 blocked shots across 10 appearances. The 12-year NHL veteran tallied just two goals across 82 regular-season games in 2025-26, so it's an encouraging sign to see him find the back of the net early in the new season. If he can become more regularly involved in the offense from his second-line role, Edmundson would be a serviceable streaming option in deep leagues due to his steady category coverage.

Anderson recorded a goal, placed two shots on net and put out two hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Anderson added onto the early onslaught of goals the Kings compiled within the first two periods, as he added the team's fifth tally of the night just under 27 minutes into the contest. Overall, the 27-year-old blueliner is up to two points, six shots on net, 11 hits and 16 blocked shots across 10 outings this season. His fantasy ceiling is capped by his third-line role and lack of special-teams opportunities, but he's shown enough flashes of capable play to be a streaming option in deep leagues if one of the Kings' top-four blueliners went down to injury.

Doughty tallied a goal, registered two assists, posted a plus-3 rating, recorded two blocked shots and served two PIM in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Doughty snapped an eight-game point drought in a big way Monday, as he recorded his first three-point game since Feb. 22, 2025. The 36-year-old blueliner found the back of the net late in the first period in between setting up the primary passes on the goals scored by Taylor Ward and Joel Edmundson. With his newest trio of points in the books, the 19-year NHL veteran is up to four points, a plus-4 rating, 11 shots on net and 12 blocked shots across 10 appearances this season. He's a near lock to see top-four minutes from the blue line moving forward, giving Doughty a stable floor in fantasy. Now that he's snapped his point drought and the Kings are on a roll, he's a solid option in deep leagues.

Clarke scored a goal and recorded four blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Clarke nearly had two goals Monday, but he had a tally called back in the second period due to interference. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, eight points, 21 PIM, 20 shots on net and 24 blocked shots across 10 appearances this season. All three of his goals have arrived in the Kings' last six games, which have helped him display a side of his game that he's slowly improved across his five seasons at the NHL level. With the Kings getting back on track in all phases of the game, Clarke should continue to play a large role both on the power play and at even strength, making him a solid fantasy option in most league formats.

Ward posted a goal and dished out three hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Ward wasted no time getting on the board in his first taste of NHL action this season, as he found the back of the net on a breakaway just 75 seconds into Monday's big win. Prior to his call up to the big club on Oct. 17, he posted steady production for AHL Ontario with two goals, three points and 14 shots on net across four appearances. With Mats Zuccarello (lower body) landing on injured reserve Monday and Alex Turcotte (undisclosed) working his way back from injury, Ward should continue to see a decent chunk of playing time at the NHL level in the meantime.
