Kurashev scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Wild.

Kurashev has three points over his last seven outings. His tally Sunday was his biggest of the season, allowing the Blackhawks to steal a win from a division rival. The 25-year-old forward has moved all over the lineup in 2024-25 but has most often ended up on the second line while seeing power-play time. He's up to three goals, one assist, 21 shots on net and a minus-11 rating through 15 appearances.

Sturm scored a goal in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Devils.

Sturm's tally at 16:21 of the first period was the only goal of the game. He's scored twice over four contests in November, though steady offense isn't typically a strong suit for the 29-year-old. Sturm has three goals, two assists, 14 shots on net, 21 hits and a minus-4 rating through 16 appearances in a bottom-six role this season.

Jost was called up from AHL Chicago on Sunday.

Jost has yet to appear in a game with the Hurricanes, and he's collected a goal and two assists through eight games with the Wolves this season. The left-shot forward signed a one-year deal with Carolina in July after logging six points over 43 regular-season outings with the Sabres in 2023-24.

McTavish is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and won't suit up for Sunday's tilt against Columbus.

McTavish will miss his first game of the season after being unable to practice Saturday. The 21-year-old has produced two goals and eight assists through 13 contests. Brett Leason or Ross Johnston are likely candidates to be replaced by McTavish in the lineup once the left-shot center is ready to return.

Carrick notched an assist and two hits in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings.

Carrick ended a six-game point drought with his helper on Jimmy Vesey's second-period tally. The 32-year-old Carrick has not been challenged for his role as the fourth-line center this year, but that's a spot that isn't likely to see him earn much offense. He has three points, 14 shots on net, 19 hits, 13 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 13 appearances.

Johnson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Sunday, per the NHL media site.

Johnson hasn't played since Oct. 17, and his return to the lineup isn't imminent. The move to IR will open a potential roster spot for Columbus. The 22-year-old forward has two goals, three assists and eight shots on net through four appearances this season.

Richard scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Panthers.

This was Richard's second game since he was recalled from AHL Lehigh Valley on Wednesday. The 27-year-old is unlikely to be a long-term part of the Flyers' lineup, but he's playing well enough in a limited role to put pressure on other players. He's been in the lineup over prized rookie Matvei Michkov the last two games, with Richard putting up a goal, four shots on net and three hits in that span.

Bennett scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Flyers.

Bennett has stayed consistent into November, earning a goal, two assists and nine shots on net over his last four games. The 28-year-old forward continues to center the second line, though his ice time has decreased since the Panthers returned to full health up front last week. Bennett has nine goal, six helpers, 47 shots on net, 32 hits and 16 PIM over 15 appearances.

Glass was diagnosed with a concussion, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports Sunday.

Glass is on injured reserve after sustaining the injury in Thursday's 5-1 loss to Carolina. A timeline for his return is unclear, but the 25-year-old forward will miss at least two more games. Glass has four assists, 18 shots on goal and 10 hits through 14 appearances this season.

Aman was loaned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

Aman has two assists in two AHL appearances this season. The 24-year-old forward also has two helpers, two shots on goal and eight hits over five NHL outings in 2024-25.
