Seattle Kraken left wing Jared McCann tallied three helpers during their 5-0 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. In the second frame, McCann would tally the secondary assist on Chandler Stephenson's 12th goal of the season and the primary assist on Shane Wright's 18th goal of the season. Later in the third, he would tally another primary assist, this time on Andre Burakovsky's ninth goal of the campaign. Over his previous eight games, McCann has been quite busy on the scoresheet, scoring two goals and adding eight assists. Before this recent surge, McCann tallied just two points over his previous 10 contests. Through 76 total games, the 28-year-old has scored 18 goals and added 37 assists. McCann will look to stay hot on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks.

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Jackson Blake scored two goals during their 5-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday evening. Blake scored his first goal in the opening frame on the power play. Later in the third, Blake would strike again on the power play to put the game out of reach. Blake has found the back of the net three times over his previous three contests. Before this recent surge, the 21-year-old only tallied three helpers with no goals over his last 10 contests. However, Blake has begun to find a place on the top forward line alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, which has provided him with higher scoring opportunities. Through 74 total games this season, the former fourth-round selection has found the back of the net 14 times and added 16 helpers.

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin tallied three points during their 5-4 overtime victory over the Minnesota Wild. In the opening frame, Panarin would tally the secondary helper on Braden Schneider's sixth goal of the campaign. In the second, Panarin would find the back of the net himself on a wrist shot. In overtime, he would tally the primary helper on Vincent Trocheck's game-winning goal. This was Panarin's third-straight outing tallying multiple points. Over his previous 16 contests, the 33-year-old has found the back of the net 11 times and added 12 assists, with three of those helpers coming on the power play. Fantasy managers should continue to view Panarin as a high-end winger in all standard formats. He will look to stay hot on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils.

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) was unable to finish Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals. However, after the contest, head coach Rod Brind'Amour noted that he did not believe the injury was serious. During this contest, he logged just over eight minutes of ice time and did not get on the scoresheet. He only logged one hit and held a +0 rating. Over his previous two contests, Svechnikov tallied two points (one goal) with three total shots on goal. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Detroit Red Wings. If Svechnikov were to miss this game, fantasy managers should expect Logan Stankoven or Tyson Jost to have a role in the top-six.

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's contest against the Florida Panthers early with an undisclosed injury. After the contest, head coach Craig Berube did not provide an update on his status. McCabe suffered this injury towards the end of the final frame as he logged over 24 minutes of ice time and tallied one helper with three hits. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Saturday evening against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Over his past seven contests, McCabe has tallied six helpers, held a +1 rating, and logged 12 hits and 14 blocked shots. Through 66 total games, McCabe has logged an impressive 118 hits and 135 blocks with 23 total points.

Colorado Avalanche center Jonathan Drouin (lower body) exited Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks with a lower-body injury. Drouin was able to log just over six minutes of ice time and held a -1 rating before exiting. Over his past three contests, Drouin has not tallied a point. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to Thursday's contest against the Columbus Blue Jackets. If Drouin were to miss time, fantasy managers should expect Miles Wood or Jimmy Vesey to draw into the starting lineup. Ross Colton will likely move up to the second offensive line. Through 43 games this season, Drouin has found the back of the net 11 times and added 26 helpers. The 30-year-old has added 56 total shots on goal and just 14 hits and 12 blocks.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin (upper body) will accompany the team on its upcoming three-game road trip. This suggests that Malkin may be ready to return to the lineup soon. He has missed three games due to an upper-body injury. The Penguins begin the road trip with a matchup against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday and will also face the Dallas Stars and Chicago Blackhawks later in the week. Kevin Hayes and Rickard Rakell have seen time as the second-line center during Malkin's absence. Prior to his injury, Malkin scored in back-to-back games. However, the season overall has not gone well for him, as the seven-time All-Star has tallied 46 points (15 goals, 31 assists) in 62 games.

Vancouver Canucks center Filip Chytil (concussion) may have played his final game of the 2024-25 season. He is working his way back from a concussion, but it's unclear when he will be ready to rejoin the lineup. Chytil has a history of concussions, and the team will certainly want to avoid rushing his return. The former Ranger will sit out a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Seattle Kraken. The Canucks offense also remains without Elias Pettersson (undisclosed) and Nils Hoglander (undisclosed), giving Pius Suter and Teddy Blueger additional fantasy value.

Minnesota Wild defenseman Declan Chisholm (lower body) will return from a four-game absence on Wednesday against the New York Rangers. He has shaken off a lower-body injury and will take Jon Merrill's spot on the third defensive pairing. Chisholm has badly struggled on the offensive end in recent months, notching just two points in 2025. For the season, he has tallied two goals and 12 points in 61 appearances with 61 shots on goal. Chisholm's work has also included 66 blocks. The 25-year-old is unlikely to make an impact in fantasy hockey.

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Samuel Girard will not play in Wednesday's contest against the Chicago Blackhawks. He recently returned from a lower-body injury, appearing in four consecutive games, but Girard will make way for Keaton Middleton on Wednesday. Girard has recorded 23 points (three goals, 20 assists) with 106 blocks in 70 games this season. Middleton has racked up 28 blocks and 60 hits in 34 outings but lacks offensive ability. He has yet to score with 38 shots on goal in 37 career NHL appearances and has tallied only two assists.

Colorado Avalanche left wing Joel Kiviranta (lower body) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Chicago Blackhawks. He will take over Jimmy Vesey's spot. The Finnish forward has been unavailable for three games due to a lower-body injury. Despite having a limited role on the Colorado team, Kiviranta has made a significant impact in 2024-25, scoring 16 goals and producing seven assists in 72 contests. He had a four-game goal streak last month, which included an even-strength tally in a 3-0 victory over the Blackhawks. Colorado will slot Kiviranta back into the third line, with Charlie Coyle and Ross Colton joining him.

Seattle Kraken winger Eeli Tolvanen (undisclosed) will miss his first game of the season on Wednesday against the Vancouver Canucks.

It's possible they will be ready to return to action on Saturday against the San Jose Sharks. On Wednesday, Tye Kartye and Ryan Winterton will slot into the lineup as their replacements. The two players have not been impactful offensively, although Winterton has registered 17 goals and 35 points in 53 AHL appearances this season.

Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Jake Guentzel tallied a goal and an assist during their victory over the New York Islanders on Tuesday evening. Guentzel did all of his damage in the second frame when he found the back of the net on a wrist shot and added the secondary assist on Victor Hedman's 14th goal of the campaign. This was his third-straight two-point outing. Over his last six contests, Guentzel has enjoyed an offensive surge, scoring five goals and adding five helpers. Through 73 contests this season, Guentzel has enjoyed an impressive Tampa Bay debut. The former Stanley Cup Champion has found the back of the net 38 times, which is just two fewer than his career high, and added 36 assists. He remains a must-start player in all formats, playing in a potent Tampa Bay offense.
