Domi registered an assist, nine PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

Domi set up William Nylander for the opening tally 3:57 into the game. Later on, Domi fought Zemgus Girgensons in the third period. Domi has six assists, 13 PIM, four shots on net and a plus-6 rating through six contests this season, serving as a playmaking center on the second line.

McMann produced an assist, two hits, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

McMann has been productive in a middle-six role with three goals, one assist, 10 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-7 rating over five games. The 28-year-old has seen power-play time in three of his five outings, but he's not guaranteed to stay in that role throughout the year. McMann can put up some depth scoring and add toughness, making him a decent option for deeper fantasy formats.

Tavares logged an assist, four shots on goal and two PIM in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

Tavares' 16:32 of ice time was his highest mark since he saw 18:48 on Opening Night. The 34-year-old has three points, 15 shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a minus-2 rating over five appearances this season. Tavares has often centered the third line at even strength, but a spot on the top power-play unit should keep his offense at a viable level for fantasy managers.

Bordeleau (lower body) was activated from injured reserve and loaned to AHL San Jose on Tuesday.

Bordeleau will see playing time in the minors after recovering from an injury sustained during training camp. He had six goals, 11 points, 48 shots on net, 19 blocked shots and 12 hits across 27 NHL regular-season appearances with the Sharks in 2023-24. The 22-year-old forward will probably be back with the big club sometime in the 2024-25 campaign.

Seguin will return to the lineup versus Buffalo on Tuesday after dealing with a lower-body injury, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Seguin has missed Dallas' last three games, but he'll return to the lineup and fill a role on the third line and second power-play unit. The right-shot forward was productive before getting injured, posting two goals, an assist and a plus-3 rating through three outings. Seguin is nine points away from reaching 800 in his 15-year NHL career.

Miller is expected to be a game-time decision Tuesday, per Thomas Drance of The Athletic.

Miller has two goals and three points through five appearances this season. If Miller can't play Tuesday, then Arshdeep Bains will likely draw into the lineup while Teddy Blueger might serve in a top-six capacity.

Steel (undisclosed) is good to play Tuesday, per Mike Heika of the Stars' official site.

Steel missed Saturday's 4-1 win over Edmonton due to the injury. He has a goal and two points in five appearances this season. Oskar Back is projected to be a healthy scratch for the first time in 2024-25.

Texier (upper body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup Tuesday against Winnipeg, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports.

Texier will occupy a bottom-six role following his five-game absence. The 25-year-old forward has one assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in one appearance this campaign. As a result of Texier's return, Nathan Walker will be a healthy scratch versus the Jets.

Matthews scored a power-play goal in Monday's 5-2 win over the Lightning.

Matthews endured a tough start to the season and went pointless over his first three outings, but he's responded admirably with a three-game point streak, notching three goals and two assists in that span. This time, the star center scored Toronto's second goal with a wrister less than two minutes into the second period, and that would end up being the game-winning goal. It's worth noting that three of Matthews' five points have come with the man advantage, and he'll aim to keep that streak alive Tuesday on the road against Columbus.

Paul scored an even-strength goal in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Paul has found the back of the net in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and he's found a way to crack the scoresheet in all but one of his five appearances so far. He's up to two goals, three assists, four penalty minutes, 10 shots and eight hits in his five outings while seeing consistent ice time as a middle-six forward and a member of the second power-play unit.
