Maple Leafs' Max Domi: Eight points in last nine games
Domi picked up an assist in a 2-1 win over the Islanders on Thursday.
Domi has three assists in his last four games and eight points (three goals, five assists) in his last nine games. His season overall has been rough -- Domi had just six assists in his first 23 games, but this run could be a sign that his cold streak is finally behind him.

Islanders' Kyle MacLean: Exits contest in third period
MacLean (undisclosed) did not return to Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs after leaving in the third period, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.
There was no update on MacLean's status after the game. The 25-year-old could be replaced in the lineup by Matt Martin if he's unable to play Sunday versus the Bruins. MacLean has five points over 39 appearances this season, so his potential absence won't be noticed by most fantasy managers.

Maple Leafs' Bobby McMann: 10 points in last nine games
McMann scored both Toronto goals in a 2-1 win over the Islanders on Thursday.
McMann has 10 points, including six goals, and 22 shots in his last nine games. He and linemates Max Domi and Nicholas Robertson outshot the Isles 8-2 at 5-on-5. McMann is a hidden gem in all formats right now.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Slated to play
Guentzel (upper body) was on the ice for warmups and is expected to play Thursday versus the Sharks, Benjamin Pierce of the Lightning's official site.
Guentzel missed one game with the injury, but a longer break in the schedule due to traveling to California appears to have helped him get back in action quicker. Look for Guentzel to take his usual spot on the first line and top power-play unit. Cam Atkinson is set to be scratched to make room in the lineup.

Clayton Keller RW | UTA
Hockey Club's Clayton Keller: Set to return
Keller (illness) will return to the lineup Thursday versus the Flames, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
Keller missed Tuesday's game versus the Oilers due to the illness that is making its way through the Utah locker room. The 26-year-old Keller will jump back into the lineup while Matias Maccelli sits out while under the weather. Keller racked up six goals and nine assists over 12 contests in December.

Hurricanes' Tyson Jost: Out long term
Jost (undisclosed) is expected to be out long term, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Jost has two goals, 12 PIM, 20 hits and 10 blocks in 16 appearances while playing primarily on the fourth line. Juha Jaaska, who was called up from AHL Chicago on Wednesday, might play regularly during Jost's absence.

Clayton Keller RW | UTA
Hockey Club's Clayton Keller: Game-time call Thursday
Keller (illness) will be a game-time decision heading into Thursday's clash with Calgary, Cole Bagley of KSL Sports reports.
Keller was nearly unstoppable prior to getting sick, racking up 17 points in his last 13 outings and registering at least a point in 10 of those appearances. With Keller on the shelf versus Edmonton on Tuesday, Matias Maccelli was shifted into a top-six role and will likely remain there if Keller can't play Thursday.

Lightning's Jake Guentzel: Game-time decision Thursday
Per Gabby Shirley of FanDuel Sports Network Florida & Sun, Guentzel (upper body) will be a game-time decision Thursday in San Jose, according to coach Jon Cooper.
Guentzel did not play Sunday after he was injured Saturday against the Rangers. The 30-year-old winger has 20 goals and 37 points in 33 outings this season. Should Guentzel not be available against the Sharks, look for Brandon Hagel to move up to the top unit, alongside Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov.

Michael Amadio RW | OTT
Senators' Michael Amadio: Designated for IR
Amadio (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday, per the NHL media site.
Amadio doesn't have an official recovery timeline from the team other than it would be a while, so his placement on IR shouldn't come as a surprise. The move will allow the Senators to activate Artem Zub, who is returning against Dallas on Thursday following a long-term foot injury.
