Rempe scored a goal on four shots, added four PIM and logged two hits in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Senators.

Rempe also saw 9:12 of ice time, his second-highest mark in a game this season. He had the Rangers' third goal, which sparked a three-goal third period as they ran away with the win. Rempe also mixed it up and earned a double-minor for roughing while coming to the defense of Igor Shesterkin after Brady Tkachuk collided with the netminder in the crease. Rempe's scoring output is limited -- he has just two points in 12 games, though he needed 17 contests to produce that much offense last year. He's added 35 PIM, 29 hits and a plus-3 rating in 2024-25.

Marchessault recorded one goal and three assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.

Marchessault has been outstanding for the Predators in recent weeks and posted a season-high mark for scoring in a single game in this massive comeback win Tuesday. This four-point effort extended Marchessault's point streak to nine games, a span in which he's racked up two goals and 10 helpers, including five on the power play. The 34-year-old is up to 38 points (15 goals, 23 assists) in 46 games this season.

Rasmussen has collected three assists over his last 16 outings after being held off the scoresheet in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Flyers.

Rasmussen scored in back-to-back games Dec. 14 and 18, but he hasn't lit the lamp since. The 25-year-old received extra ice time in the first half of December, but his recent scoring struggles have sent him back to bottom-six duties. He lined up as the fourth-line center Tuesday. The physical forward has 13 points, 54 shots on net, 84 hits and a minus-3 rating through 46 appearances this season.

Novak notched a goal and two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Sharks.

Novak cracked the scoresheet for the second game in a row, making it the first time he has recorded points in at least two straight games since a three-game stretch between Dec. 10 and Dec. 14. It was also the first multi-point effort of the campaign for the 27-year-old, but these outputs aren't expected to become the norm for Novak, especially considering his bottom-six role in the lineup.

Celebrini recorded an even-strength goal and a power-play assist in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Predators.

Celebrini snapped a brief two-game pointless streak with a solid performance, as he notched a multi-point outing for the second time in the current month. Celebrini has fared surprisingly well at the NHL level considering he's only 18 years old, and he seems to be getting better with each passing week. He's up to seven points (two goals, five assists) across 10 games in January.

Granlund scored two goals, including one on the power play, and took three shots in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Predators.

Granlund went three games without finding the back of the net but made his presence felt in this goal fest with his second two-goal effort of the campaign. He remains one of the most productive players on the Sharks' roster and has notched 14 goals, and 40 total points, across 48 contests.

Frederic (illness) will miss Wednesday's tilt against New Jersey, per Mike Morreale of NHL.com.

It will be Frederic's second straight game on the shelf. He has seven goals, 14 points, 42 PIM, 132 hits and 25 blocks in 47 outings in 2024-25. Max Jones might draw into the lineup Wednesday due in part to Frederic's continued absence.

Dickinson missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness, according to Charlie Roumeliotis of WGN Radio.

Chicago doesn't play until Friday, so it's possible that Dickinson will be fine by then. He has seven goals, 14 points, 78 hits and 40 blocks in 47 appearances in 2024-25. The status of Craig Smith (back) and Patrick Maroon (back) is uncertain, but if Smith, Maroon and Dickinson are all unavailable Friday, then Chicago will likely recall a player from the minors because the team would otherwise have just 11 healthy forwards on the roster.

Ivan was recalled from AHL Colorado on Wednesday.

Ivan has five goals and eight points in 39 appearances with the Avalanche in 2024-25. He also has a goal and an assist in two outings with AHL Colorado. The Avalanche have just 12 healthy forwards on their roster after recalling Ivan and Jere Innala, so both will probably be in the lineup for Wednesday's tilt against Winnipeg.

Kostin (lower body) is working his way back to full fitness but is still not in the day-to-day category. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky told reporters Tuesday, "He's progressing. He's skating again," Warsofsky said. "He's a little ways away here, not really in a day-to-day category," per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.

Kostin has already missed six games due to his lower-body injury and seems no closer to getting back onto the ice at this point. Even when healthy, the forward has struggled to produce, going pointless over his last 11 outings while contributing just eight shots.
