Halliday was recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday.

Halliday has 15 goals and 43 points in 59 minor-league appearances this season. He will be an option for Tuesday's game versus Buffalo and could make his NHL debut if Ottawa has to replace a forward.

Monahan (wrist) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against the Islanders on Monday, according to Jeff Svoboda of the Blue Jackets' official site.

Monahan will play on the top line and first power-play unit after missing the last 28 games. He has generated 14 goals, 41 points and 106 shots on net through 41 appearances this season. Monahan's return should give Columbus a much-needed offensive boost as the team attempts to stay in the playoff hunt.

Zacha notched an assist, three hits and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

Zacha has three points over his last four contests, despite putting just one shot on goal in that span. The 27-year-old center is playing in a top-six role, but he'll need to generate more chances to avoid a season-ending slump. Overall, he's produced 14 goals, 29 helpers, 120 shots on net, 52 hits and a minus-2 rating through 72 appearances. This will likely be his weakest of three seasons as a Bruin, though it's still better than every campaign he had with the Devils.

Lindholm scored a goal in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

Lindholm snapped a three-game dry spell when he tallied just 19 seconds into the contest. The good vibes didn't last long for the Bruins -- Anze Kopitar tied the game a couple minutes later, and the Kings dominated the rest of the way. Lindholm is up to 13 goals, 37 points, 130 shots on net, 104 hits, 70 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 72 appearances. While this is set to be a career year in the physical categories for Lindholm, it's come at the cost of offense as he tracks toward his worst scoring campaign since his first three seasons in Carolina.

Geekie scored a goal, added two PIM and went minus-2 in Sunday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

Even with the Bruins struggling to the tune of eight goals in their last five games, Geekie's offense rolls on. He has three goals and an assist in that span while maintaining a top-line role. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to 25 goals, 39 points, 130 shots on net, 95 hits and a minus-1 rating through 67 appearances. His next point will give him a career high and get him to 40 for the first time.

Lewis logged an assist and three hits in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Trevor Moore (upper body) couldn't play Sunday, and Lewis got the nod to enter the lineup over Akil Thomas. Prior to Sunday, Lewis had been scratched for eight straight contests, losing his spot in the lineup after the Kings traded for Andrei Kuzmenko. The 38-year-old Lewis has nine points, 43 shots on net, 81 hits, 28 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-5 rating through 49 appearances. He'll likely return to the press box once the Kings' roster is back to full health.

Danault logged an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Danault has a helper in each of the last two contests, though he was on a four-game slump prior to that. The 32-year-old center has reached the 30-assist mark for the third year in a row and the fifth time in his career, but it's hard to celebrate that milestone since his goal-scoring has taken a nosedive in 2024-25. He's at 36 points, 111 shots on net, 70 hits, 64 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 68 appearances.

Helenius scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Helenius has two points over his last two games after going 10 contests without a point at the NHL level. The 22-year-old's role is unlikely to change -- the Kings' strong forward depth keeps Helenius locked in on the fourth line, but he's at least played well enough to stay in the lineup. He's at five points, 21 shots on net, 113 hits, 21 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 37 appearances, bringing a physical edge to the roster.

Kopitar scored a goal in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Kopitar tied the game at 1-1 early in the first period, answering Elias Lindholm's goal 19 seconds into the game. Kopitar has bounced back from a three-game slump with three points over his last two contests. The 37-year-old center is up to 18 tallies, 56 points, 86 shots on net, 62 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 69 appearances. He hasn't crossed 20 minutes of ice time since Feb. 26 versus the Canucks, so it looks like the Kings may be managing Kopitar's minutes ahead of the playoffs.

Byfield scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Byfield was one of five Kings to earn multiple points in this blowout win. The 22-year-old had four points over the weekend back-to-back against the Hurricanes and the Bruins, and he's up to eight goals and two assists through 12 outings in March. Overall, Byfield has 19 goals, 44 points, 134 shots on net, 69 hits and a plus-14 rating through 69 appearances. After a sluggish start to the year, he's rebounded nicely and should end the campaign with a career high in goals.
