Kadri produced an assist in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.

Kadri has four helpers over his last five contests, but he's now gone eight games without a goal. The center has 24 shots on net during the goal drought, so this appears to just be some rough luck. The 34-year-old is up to 12 points, 66 shots, 20 PIM, 13 hits, 12 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating over 22 appearances in 2024-25.

Backlund scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.

Backlund ended a five-game point drought with a tally in the final minute of the third period. The 35-year-old center racked up 18 shots on net during that slump, so it hasn't been for a lack of trying. He's up to five goals, 10 points, 61 shots, 16 hits and a plus-6 rating over 22 appearances in a middle-six role this season. That's in line with Backlund's usual level of offense -- he can be penciled in for roughly 40 points a year.

Sharangovich scored a goal on seven shots, blocked two shots and added four PIM in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.

This was Sharangovich's third game in a row with a goal, and he has a total of four points in that span. He's also logged seven shots in back-to-back contests. The 26-year-old got off to a slow start after missing time with a lower-body injury, but he's playing some spirited hockey now. He has five tallies, one assist, 49 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 15 appearances while filling an all-situations role this season.

Carlsson won't return to Monday's game against the Kraken after sustaining an upper-body injury, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.

Carlsson was checked by Seattle's Tye Kartye into Anaheim's net in the middle frame. Carlsson remained down for a few moments but was eventually able to skate off the ice on his own. The Ducks face the Kraken again on Wednesday, so an update on the 19-year-old's status should surface before then.

Huberdeau scored a power-play goal and added two PIM in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Senators.

The goal snapped a five-game drought for Huberdeau, who had just one assist in that span. The 31-year-old forward has earned five points over 12 contests in November, though he continues to play in a top-six role despite the struggles on offense. Overall, he has seven goals, five helpers, 35 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 22 outings.

Greig notched two assists, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

Greig has racked up five helpers over his last six outings, including two power-play assists, but he's now gone nine games without a goal. The 22-year-old continues to log middle-six minutes while featuring on the second power-play unit. He's up to seven points, 22 shots on net, 30 hits, eight PIM and a minus-6 rating through 18 appearances this season.

Gaudette scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 4-3 win over the Flames.

This was Gaudette's third goal over his last six games. That uptick in production has earned him a look on the top line at even strength, though he still had just 12:56 of ice time Monday, his most in a game since Nov. 7. The 28-year-old has played better than expected so far with nine goals, one helper, 28 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-1 rating across 20 outings. He carries a little fantasy value in deeper formats that reward goals, though he's also shooting 32.1 percent, a mark that's destined to drop over time.

Lauko departed Monday's contest versus Winnipeg due to a lower-body injury, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Lauko recorded one blocked shot and one hit in 6:08 of ice time before exiting the game. Head coach John Hynes had no update on Lauko's status, so the 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's road matchup against Buffalo.

Ivan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Ivan accounted for both of Colorado's goals in an 8-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday. The left-shot forward will be back with the Avalanche in short order, as this transaction was more than likely completed a move to save cap space. Ivan has produced five goals and three assists across 22 appearances at the NHL level this season.

Tynan was reassigned to AHL Colorado on Monday.

Tynan has registered an assist over eight appearances with the Avalanche this season. The 32-year-old will return to the Eagles, where he's racked up seven assists in eight games.
