Condotta was elevated from AHL Laval on Wednesday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

Condotta has yet to get into an NHL game this year and will likely continue to serve as an emergency depth option heading into Montreal's four-game road trip. In the minors, the 27-year-old winger has tallied four assists in nine games but has yet to find the back of the net.

Couturier collected two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

The 31-year-old has been feast or famine to begin the season. Couturier erupted for five points Oct. 26 and picked up an assist Oct. 12, but he's been held scoreless in the other 10 contests he's suited up for. While his three goals and eight points in 13 games looks solid, the volatility makes him tough to rely on in anything other than season-long formats in which you can ride out the cold spells.

Konecny produced two goals, one on the power play, and two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

It was a heroic effort from Konecny, who opened the scoring just under eight minutes into the first period and tied the game at 4-4 midway through the third, but Carolina's depth won out in the end. Konecny snapped a three-game point drought with the performance, but it was the second time in the last six contests he's erupted for four points or more. On the season, the 27-year-old has amassed seven goals and 14 points in 13 appearances.

Thompson scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

The 27-year-old saw an eight-game point streak snapped Saturday, but Thompson got right back up Tuesday and collected points on the Sabres' final two tallies of the night. Through 13 contests on the season, he's racked up eight goals and 15 points, and he's looking more like the star that broke out for 47 goals and 94 points in 2022-23.

Horvat generated two even-strength assists in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh.

Horvat assisted on Kyle Palmieri's second-period marker before setting up Jean-Gabriel Pageau's game-tying goal at 12:48 of the final frame. Horvat has picked up his offense lately -- he's logged four points over his last three outings after recording five across the first 10 games of the campaign. The left-shot center is up to four goals, five assists and a minus-1 rating across 13 contests while skating on the top line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Palmieri produced a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

Palmieri buried a rebound in the second period before registering the primary helper on Simon Holmstrom's third-period power-play marker. Palmieri added three shots, two PIM, one block, one hit and a plus-1 rating in 20:53 of ice time. The right-shot winger has picked up points in three consecutive outings, and Tuesday marked his third multi-point effort of the season. The 33-year-old leads New York in points with six goals and five assists through 13 games.

Faksa provided an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Faksa ended a 10-game slump with the assist on Alexei Toropchenko's go-ahead goal in the second period. It's not unusual for Faksa to be quiet on offense as a bottom-six center. He has two points, nine shots on net, 19 hits, six blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-3 rating over 13 appearances this season. Expect the 30-year-old's usage to remain heavily defensive throughout the campaign.

Sundqvist scored a goal and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Lightning.

Sundqvist got on the scoresheet for the first time this season when he scored the game-tying goal at 7:57 of the second period on a rebound. The 30-year-old forward has added two shots on net, nine hits, three blocked shots, four PIM and an even plus-minus rating over six outings since he returned from a knee injury. Sundqvist has exceeded the 30-point mark just once in his career, so he's likely to fill a bottom-six role for most, if not all, of the campaign.

Cirelli notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Cirelli filled in as the top-line center with Brayden Point (lower body) unavailable Tuesday. It was in that role where Cirelli fed defenseman Nick Perbix for the game's opening goal at 2:39 of the second period. Cirelli is off to a great start with 13 points, 19 shots on net, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating over 13 contests. He's usually on the second line, but he's got strong enough two-way chops to move up when necessary.

Kapanen logged a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

This was Kapanen's first point since he had an assist in his season debut Oct. 10 versus the Bruins. The 21-year-old saw a season-low 7:54 of ice time Tuesday, which could be a bad sign for his safety in the lineup. He has two helpers, 13 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-4 rating through 12 appearances in a bottom-six role.
