Hughes notched three assists in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over Boston.

After helping to set up second-period tallies by Connor Brown and Jesper Bratt, Hughes was the one who got the puck to Paul Cotter for a game-winning breakaway in OT. Hughes is still riding the momentum from his Golden Goal at the Olympics, recording multiple points in four of seven games in March while compiling five goals and 12 points so far this month.

Colton (upper body) will miss Monday's home game against the Penguins, per the NHL Media Site.

Colton is slated to miss his third straight game after sustaining an upper-body injury against the Oilers on Tuesday. His absence is a notable one for the Avalanche's offense, as the 29-year-old winger has 23 points and 137 shots on net across 60 contests this season. Until further updates are provided, Colton can be considered day-to-day, making his next chance to return Wednesday in a home matchup against the Stars.

Stenlund isn't available for Monday's game in Dallas and is day-to-day.

This will be Stenlund's second missed game of the season. The Swedish center will be replaced in the lineup by Brandon Tanev on Monday. Stenlund will now have a few days to attempt to be ready for the first half of Utah's back-to-back, which is in Vegas on Thursday.

Newhook scored a goal in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Newhook got the Canadiens on the board at 1:33 of the second period. The forward has picked up where he left off after a lengthy absence due to an ankle injury, earning three goals and four assists over nine contests since his return following the Olympic break. The 25-year-old is up to nine goals, 19 points, 34 shots on net, 35 hits and a plus-9 rating over 26 appearances.

Ostapchuk has earned one assist over 10 games since the Olympic break after being held scoreless in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.

Ostapchuk has played in every game since the break, filling a fourth-line role. He's at five points, 101 hits, 30 shots on net, 17 PIM and a minus-9 rating over 42 appearances. The 22-year-old was a second-round pick in 2021, so there's still potential for him to grow into a middle-six center at some point, but the Sharks have enough prospect depth to make that an uphill battle for him.

Misa scored a goal in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Senators.

Misa has three points over his last three games. His tally Sunday tied the game at 4-4 before the Senators pulled away late in the third period. Misa is now at seven goals, 16 points, 36 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances. He's nowhere near his peak potential yet, so fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his progress.

Amadio notched two assists in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

Amadio has three goals and four assists over seven contests in March. The Senators have done well to get their third line more involved on offense lately, with Amadio working alongside Shane Pinto and Nick Cousins. Amadio has a career-high 29 points (11 goals, 18 assists) while adding 83 shots on net, 90 hits, 39 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating through 66 appearances this season.

Cozens scored a goal and added three hits in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Sharks.

Cozens provided an insurance goal in the third period as the Senators pulled away from the Sharks late in the contest. The 25-year-old had gone three games without a point. He's up to 24 goals, 50 points, 157 shots on net, 183 hits, 51 PIM and a minus-11 rating over 66 appearances this season, mainly in a second-line role.

Scheifele scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blues.

Scheifele has four goals and eight assists over his last seven outings. The 33-year-old center is up to 31 goals and 82 points, along with 142 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 66 appearances. He's five points away from matching his career-best total from the 2024-25 regular season.

Lizotte (upper body) won't play against Colorado on Monday.

Lizotte will miss at least one game, but it's unclear if he will be ready to return against Carolina on Wednesday. He has contributed seven goals, 19 points, 49 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 49 hits in 55 games this season. After missing the last four outings, Justin Brazeau (upper body) will replace Lizotte in Monday's lineup against the Avalanche.
