Colton (hand) will play Sunday against Ottawa, Corey Masisak of The Denver Post reports.

Colton won't miss additional action after being injured in Thursday's 5-1 win over Utah. He has generated seven goals, one assist, 28 shots on net and 25 hits through eight appearances this season. Colton will play on the top line and first power-play unit versus the Senators.

Bedard scored a goal in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.

Bedard has found the back of the net in his last two appearances, and the 19-year-old star center has already notched nine points across nine appearances this season. Even though the Blackhawks are bound to struggle in 2024-25, Bedard should be one of the team's few productive fantasy options across all formats. The lack of consistency is an issue, though, as he hasn't been able to chip in with points in three of his last six outings.

Donato scored a goal while adding three shots and four hits in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Stars.

Donato has scored three goals over his last six outings while attempting nine shots, so he's making the most of his chances to find the back of the net. However, he plays on the fourth line of a rebuilding team, so his chances to produce on a consistent basis aren't very high, limiting his fantasy upside considerably in most formats.

Duchene recorded two goals, including one in the power play, in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blackhawks. The second goal was an empty-netter with 18 seconds left in the third period.

Duchene has been on a tear in recent games, notching five goals over his last four appearances while recording three multi-point games in that span. The 33-year-old veteran should continue to find plenty of opportunities to produce as a top-six forward in one of the best offensive units in the Western Conference. Through nine games, Duchene has already racked up 11 points.

Palmieri notched one goal and one assist in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

Palmieri found the back of the net roughly six minutes into the first period to give the Isles a 2-0 lead, and he'd later set Brock Nelson up to give New York a three-goal cushion. However, the Islanders would give up six unanswered goals the rest of the way, giving them a third loss over their last five contests. Palmieri has managed to stay productive, though, and he's posted back-to-back games with one goal and one assist. Through eight games, the 33-year-old forward has seven points, tallying four goals and three assists.

Reinhart scored a goal in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Reinhart scored the Panthers' first goal midway through the first period with a wrister from close range, and that strike sparked an impressive comeback for the Panthers -- they would end up scoring six unanswered goals en route to this road win. Reinhart has contributed offensively in all but one of his last eight appearances, and he should continue to finds lots of opportunities to produce due to his established role as a top-six forward and member of the first power-play unit.

Bennett notched a goal, two penalty minutes, five hits and a blocked shot in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Bennett has been getting the job done on both sides of the puck of late, scoring in four consecutive contests but also racking up six penalty minutes, 14 shots, 13 hits and three blocked shots in that span. The 28-year-old center has been one of the most consistent players for the Panthers this season after cracking the scoresheet in eight of his 10 appearances this season, tallying seven goals and three assists to go along with 29 hits.

Lundell dished out two assists, including one in the power play, in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

Lundell has been very productive of late and has chipped in with at least one point in six of his last seven outings, tallying five goals and five assists in that stretch. The playmaker should continue to find lots of opportunities to keep this streak alive due to his role as a top-six forward who also centers the top power-play unit.

Leschyshyn was reassigned to AHL Hartford on Sunday.

Leschyshyn was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 2-1 win over Anaheim. He could be back with the Rangers before Tuesday's road game against Washington to serve as an extra forward again.

Schenn had an assist, one shot on net and two PIM in Saturday's 5-2 loss to Montreal.

Schenn's drive to the net in the second period was rebuffed by Sam Montembeault, but the ensuing sequence let to Jake Neighbours' game-tying tally. The assist was Schenn's second in as many games and third over the last four. He had practiced on the top line earlier this week, presumably as a potential replacement for Robert Thomas (lower body), but he's been back home centering the second line in the two games since. Schenn did a reasonable impression of Thomas, the Blues' faceoff leader (62.6 percent), by winning 15 of 22 (68.2 percent) draws Saturday.
