Strome scored a goal and fired three shots on goal in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Wings.

Strome tallied the lone goal of the first period for Anaheim just over three minutes after Detroit initially went up 3-0. The 31-year-old center is up to eight goals, 31 points and 99 shots on net in 56 games this season. Sunday's goal was Strome's first since the calendar flipped to 2025, which ended a 19-game drought without finding the twine. During this stretch, Anaheim's top-line center has been a consistent playmaker with 11 assists. Strome's ice time and playmaking give him some value in deeper leagues, but there are likely better options available on waivers in most fantasy formats.

Dach was recalled from AHL Rockford on Monday, Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio reports.

Dach was sent to the AHL ahead of the NHL's break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, but he'll rejoin the Blackhawks ahead of their upcoming three-game road trip. Over 13 appearances with Chicago this year, he's recorded a goal, three assists, 41 hits and eight blocked shots while averaging 11:35 of ice time.

Luostarinen won't travel with the team for Tuesday's matchup with Nashville while awaiting the birth of his child, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Luostarinen has scored just once in his last 16 outings while adding three assists, 31 hits and 20 shots. With Luostarinen on the shelf, the Panthers will recall a forward from AHL Charlotte, perhaps Rasmus Asplund or Patrick Giles. It remains to be seen if Luostarinen will be available for Thursday's game against the Oilers.

Holloway scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Holloway closed the Blues' scoring barrage in the second period with a tip-in at the 19:50 mark to give the Blues a 3-1 lead. The center snapped a six-game scoring drought with this goal. He's having a career-best season across the board and has racked up 41 points in 58 games thus far, recording 17 goals and 24 assists.

Schenn scored a goal in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Avalanche.

Schenn tied the score for the Blues midway through the second period, and that goal opened the gates. St. Louis scored three unanswered goals in that frame to build a lead the team would never relinquish. This was Schenn's first goal since Jan. 20, when he bagged a goal in a 5-4 shootout win over the Golden Knights, and he's up to 12 goals and 33 points through 58 contests.

Head coach Scott Arniel said Monday that Barron (upper body) is close to returning to game action, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.

Barron has been sidelined since the end of January due to an upper-body injury, but he's missed just five games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break took place during his absence. While the 26-year-old will be unavailable against the Sharks on Monday, he could return to game action Wednesday against Ottawa or Thursday against Nashville.

Zegras will have a hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Monday.

Zegras will face a suspension for his hit on Detroit's Michael Rasmussen on Sunday. At a minimum, fantasy managers should be expecting the 23-year-old Zegras to be out of action for Tuesday's game against Buffalo, though it could certainly be longer. Both Cutter Gauthier and Robby Fabbri could be candidates to move into a top-six role with Zegras unavailable.

Dach (lower body) is being evaluated and won't participate in Monday's practice.

Dach has accounted for 10 goals, 22 points, 84 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 100 hits through 57 games this season. The Canadiens recalled Owen Beck from AHL Laval on Monday. If Dach and Michael Pezzetta (lower body) can't play against Carolina on Tuesday, Beck could draw into the lineup.

Beck was recalled from AHL Laval on Monday.

Beck hasn't earned a point in six NHL outings this season while posting six shots on goal, three blocked shots and 13 hits. The 21-year-old forward has 13 goals and 32 points across 47 minor-league appearances in the 2024-25 campaign. Beck will be a depth forward for the Canadiens while Michael Pezzetta (lower body) recovers from an injury.

Copp (undisclosed) was designated for injured reserve Monday.

Copp will be out of action for at least the next two games based on his IR placement, though it could certainly be longer. In a corresponding move, the Red Wings brought Sheldon Dries up from AHL Grand Rapids. Prior to getting hurt, Copp was finding his stride offensively with four points in his last five outings, including a power-play helper.
