Power notched three assists, three shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Power had gone a season-worst three games without a point prior to this effort, which saw him make up for the recent slump. The 23-year-old defenseman is having a strong campaign so far, earning two goals, 12 helpers, 22 shots on net, 17 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-7 rating over 16 appearances. With Rasmus Dahlin and Mattias Samuelsson handling the toughest defensive assignments, Power has had more room to thrive on offense, which has him tracking toward shattering his previous career high of 40 points in the 2024-25 season.

Doan scored a goal on four shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Doan's offense remains inconsistent early in the season -- he snapped a four-game point drought with this goal. He's scored just three times and added one assist across 16 outings on the year. Doan has moved around the lineup a lot so far, but he's settled into middle-six usage. He's added 30 shots on net, 18 hits, 10 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating, offering a little category coverage for fantasy managers willing to stay patient.

Dahlin scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Dahlin ended a seven-game goal drought with the tally. He remained productive with five assists and a plus-4 rating in that span. The star defenseman is up to three goals, 10 points, 39 shots, 19 hits, 16 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances in his usual top-pairing role.

Quinn scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Quinn has a pair of multi-point efforts over his last three games. The 25-year-old has started the season well, leading to steady top-six minutes and power-play time, which boosts his scoring potential. He's at nine goals, seven helpers, 44 shots on net, 12 hits, 11 PIM and a plus-5 rating across 16 outings this season.

Norris scored a pair of goals on three shots, added three hits and went plus-3 in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

Norris ended a six-game slump with the pair of tallies. The 27-year-old has had trouble getting his offense going from a bottom-six role lately, especially with his power-play time drying up. He has four goals, one assist, 19 shots on net, 21 hits, 14 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 16 appearances this season.

Luukkonen stopped 24 of 26 shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.

This was Luukkonen's second win in a row. After working as the Sabres' primary goalie for much of October, Luukkonen appears to have settled into an even timeshare with Colten Ellis to begin November. Luukkonen is up to 5-3-3 with a 3.27 GAA and an .878 save percentage across 11 games (10 starts) this season. If the goalie rotation holds, Ellis would start Sunday versus the Golden Knights and Luukkonen would face the Lightning on Wednesday.

Head coach Rick Bowness said after Friday's 5-2 road loss to the Sabres that Voronkov is being evaluated for an upper-body injury, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.

Voronkov was unable to finish Friday's game, during which he logged 8:00 of ice time across 11 shifts. Sean Monahan (lower body) was also injured in Buffalo, leaving the Blue Jackets with a couple of question marks up front ahead of Tuesday's home matchup against Florida. Voronkov can be considered day-to-day for now.

Monahan (lower body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game in Buffalo.

According to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, Monahan exited the game after blocking a shot during the middle frame. The 32-year-old Monahan logged an even-strength assist and three blocked shots in 11:06 of ice time prior to his departure. The Blue Jackets' next game isn't until Tuesday versus the Panthers, so Monahan will have some time to recover for that matchup if his injury isn't overly serious.

Bahl will not suit up against the Ducks on Friday due to a lower-body injury.

The Flames did not convey how much time Bahl might miss beyond Friday's game. In the meantime, Joel Hanley will replace him in the lineup on the top pairing next to Simon Nemec. Bahl's next opportunity to play will be at home versus the Flyers on Sunday.

Dostal will patrol the road crease Friday versus the Flames, per Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Dostal will be making his first start since Oct. 27, as his poor play early in the season led to Laurent Brossoit being brought up from AHL San Diego. Brossoit has won all three of his starts since his recall, but he's allowed at least three goals in all of those games, so this is a good opportunity for Dostal to reclaim the starting gig. It will be a favorable matchup for Dostal to do so, as Calgary has generated just 2.44 goals per game this season, which is the third-worst mark in the NHL. Dostal allowed three goals on 35 shots in a 4-2 home loss to the Flames on Oct. 13.
