Macklin Celebrini C | SJ
Sharks' Macklin Celebrini: Dealing with lower-body injury
Celebrini (lower body) will be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against Toronto, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Celebrini didn't participate in Sunday's practice after being injured in Saturday's 5-3 loss to Ottawa. The 18-year-old rookie has five goals and seven assists in his last 12 outings. He has accounted for 18 goals, 44 points and 168 shots on net across 49 appearances this season. If Celebrini can't play versus the Maple Leafs on Monday, Carl Grundstrom or Walker Duehr could be in the lineup.

Mathieu Olivier RW | CLB
Blue Jackets' Mathieu Olivier: Tallies again Saturday
Olivier scored a goal on two shots, added five hits and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
Olivier has two goals and an assist during his three-game point streak. The 28-year-old pending unrestricted free agent is reportedly in negotiations to stay with the Blue Jackets, though if those talks sour, he could be a trade candidate. The physical winger is at 12 goals, nine assists, 76 shots on net, 228 hits, 99 PIM and 66 blocked shots over 60 appearances, making this a career year nearly across the board for him.

Adam Fantilli C | CLB
Blue Jackets' Adam Fantilli: Puts away empty-netter
Fantilli scored an empty-net goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-3 Stadium Series win over the Red Wings.
Fantilli's point streak is up to five games (three goals, three assists) following his late tally to secure the win in front of the NHL's second-largest crowd of all time (94,751). The 20-year-old center continues to fill in admirably on the top line in place of Sean Monahan (wrist). Fantilli is up to 37 points across 60 outings, and he's earned 22 of those points across 22 appearances since the start of January as he takes a big step forward in his second season.

Charlie Coyle C | CLB
Bruins' Charlie Coyle: Fills empty cage
Coyle scored a shorthanded empty-net goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
Coyle snapped his six-game point drought with a critical insurance goal -- the Penguins scored once after the empty-netter but weren't able to pull even. This was Coyle's 14th goal of the season, two of which have been game-winners. The forward has added seven assists, 89 shots on net, 89 hits, 48 blocked shots and a minus-13 rating through 61 appearances.

Rickard Rakell RW | PIT
Penguins' Rickard Rakell: Tallies on power play in loss
Rakell scored a power-play goal on five shots in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
Rakell had gone five games without a goal, and he's earned just two points over five outings since his return from the 4 Nations Face-Off with Team Sweden. The 31-year-old is having one of the best years of his career, but he's lost a bit of momentum recently. For the season, he's at 26 goals, 50 points, 160 shots on net, 98 hits, 66 blocked shots and a minus-22 rating over 61 appearances.

Steven Lorentz C | CLB
Maple Leafs' Steven Lorentz: Unavailable Sunday
Lorentz (undisclosed) won't play against the Penguins on Sunday, per David Alter of The Hockey News.
Lorentz will sit out at least one game after missing Saturday's practice. He has accounted for five goals, 14 points, 52 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and 148 hits in 59 appearances this season. Lorentz's next chance to play comes versus San Jose on Monday.

Connor Dewar C | PIT
Maple Leafs' Connor Dewar: Activated from IR
Dewar (upper body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.
The Maple Leafs placed Chris Tanev (upper body) on the IR list in a corresponding move. Dewar will be available to return to the lineup against Pittsburgh on Sunday after missing the last 11 games. He has produced three assists, 27 shots on goal, 18 blocked shots and 78 hits across 29 appearances this season.

Boone Jenner C | WAS
Blue Jackets' Boone Jenner: Two helpers against Wings
Jenner picked up two assists in Saturday's 5-3 win over Detroit.
The veteran center has made an immediate impact since returning from a shoulder injury that cost him the first 56 games of the season. In four appearances since play resumed following the 4 Nations Face-Off, Jenner has racked up seven helpers while adding nine shots on net, seven hits, six blocked shots and a plus-7 rating. He's also won 33 of 64 faceoffs (51.5 percent).

Calle Jarnkrok C | TOR
Maple Leafs' Calle Jarnkrok: Nearing return
Jarnkrok (groin) was a full participant in Saturday's practice but won't play against Pittsburgh on Sunday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
It remains unclear when Jarnkrok will see his first game action of the 2024-25 campaign after having groin and sports hernia surgery in November, but he appears close to being an option to come off long-term injured reserve. Jarnkrok had 10 goals and 21 points across 52 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.
-
Pavel Zacha C | BOS
Bruins' Pavel Zacha: Two helpers in Pittsburgh
Zacha notched two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.
Both helpers came in the first period as Zacha got onto the scoresheet for the third straight contest. The 27-year-old center has only one goal in the last 14 games, but he's been plenty productive as a distributor with 10 assists during that stretch.
