Dach scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings.

Dach finally snapped his point drought and recorded both his first goal and first assist of the 2026-27 campaign. He created Edmonton's second goal before redirecting Ryan Shea's shot to give the Oilers a late third-period lead. The winger also received an opportunity to play alongside Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Kasperi Kapanen after Zach Hyman exited with an upper-body injury. That potential increase in offensive responsibility could boost his fantasy appeal if the lineup adjustment continues.

Nylander scored a goal on four shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.

Nylander cut Calgary's lead to 3-2 in the third period, but Toronto couldn't complete the comeback. His four shots were a team-high mark, highlighting his continued involvement in the Maple Leafs' offense, and he also extended his ongoing point streak to five games. The veteran winger remains a reliable fantasy contributor thanks to his scoring ability and prominent offensive role, even when Toronto struggles to generate consistent production.

Pospisil scored an empty-net goal on two shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. He also recorded four hits.

Pospisil is not known for his scoring ability as a bottom-six forward who sees time on the penalty-killing unit, but he made the most of the opportunity to score into the open goal in the third period of Monday's win. His combination of physical play and playmaking ability makes him particularly appealing in fantasy formats that reward hits, although his scoring opportunities could remain inconsistent in a supporting bottom-six role.

Gridin scored two goals, including one on the power play, on five shots and added an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Gridin opened the scoring in the first period, then added another just 25 seconds into the second, helping Calgary build a three-goal lead. He later assisted on Martin Pospisil's empty-net goal, completing his three-point performance. The young winger has four goals this season and all of them have come over his last four contests. He also has back-to-back multi-point performances and four straight games with at least two shots on goal, so he's clearly trending in the right direction.

Cooley stopped 26 of 28 shots in Monday's 5-2 win over the Maple Leafs. He also recorded an assist.

Cooley extended his winning streak to four starts, posting a .929 save percentage against a Toronto team entering the contest on a four-game winning streak. The 28-year-old has rebounded impressively from a difficult start to the season, establishing himself as a reliable option in Calgary's crease. His recent form and growing consistency make him an appealing fantasy option as he continues to get regular starts. Cooley appears to have taken over the No. 1 role from Dustin Wolf for good since he's posted a 1.50 GAA and .954 save percentage during the winning run.

Bobrovsky stopped 29 of 32 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flames. Calgary's final two goals were empty-netters.

Bobrovsky posted a .906 save percentage and kept Toronto competitive despite the defeat. He faced steady pressure throughout the contest, but the Maple Leafs' limited offensive support prevented him from securing a victory. His individual performance was respectable, although Toronto's defensive struggles and inconsistent results could affect his fantasy value in leagues that emphasize wins. That's because the veteran goaltender has won just two of his last five starts, going 2-2-1 with a 3.19 GAA and an .887 save percentage over that span.

Hyman sustained an upper-body injury in the second period of Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings and did not return, according to Jamie Umbach of the Oilers' official site.

Hyman was injured after taking a relatively routine hit from Andreas Englund. Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton conveyed that Hyman will likely be out for at least a week, as it looked like the winger may have been concussed on the play. More information on Hyman's status should be available before Wednesday's home divisional matchup against the Flames.

Chabot (upper body) was a full participant in Monday's practice in Vegas and is nearing a return to the lineup, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.

While Chabot was a full participant in Monday's practice, Garrioch noted that the 29-year-old skated on an extra defensive pairing, so a decision on his availability for Tuesday's game against the Golden Knights won't be made until after the morning skate. Regarding Chabot's outlook going forward, head coach Travis Green said, "I'm not sure if he's going to go tomorrow, but he's definitely close to playing. We'll see." If he ends up sitting out Tuesday, Chabot's next opportunity to return to the lineup will be in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Marchenko (lower body) will not return to Monday's game in Calgary, Joshua Kloke of The Athletic reports.

Marchenko fell awkwardly after being hit in the second period, and he was unable to come back into the game after exiting. Head coach Jim Hiller might have an update on Marchenko's status after the game, but if there is no information provided on the winger's health, Marchenko can be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's game in Seattle.

Johansson (undisclosed) will not play in Monday's road clash against the Oilers, per Ted Kulfan of The Detroit News.

Johansson was a surprise scratch Monday, as he didn't suit up due to an undisclosed injury. Prior to Monday, the 25-year-old blueliner had posted an assist, 14 shots on net and 12 blocked shots across 11 outings this season. In his absence, both William Wallinder and Andreas Englund should see increased minutes. Depending on the severity of Johansson's injury, his next chance to return to the lineup is Thursday's home matchup against Chicago.
