Dach sustained an upper-body injury during Sunday's game against the Ducks and will not return.

Dach left the game after taking a hit during the first period, per Stu Cowan of The Montreal Gazette. If the right-shot forward is unable to suit up in Tuesday's divisional matchup against Boston, Zachary Bolduc will more than likely draw back into the lineup.

Nugent-Hopkins (personal) is suiting up for Sunday's home matchup against Nashville, per Tony Brar of Oilers TV.

Nugent-Hopkins will skate on the third line with Jason Dickinson and Jack Roslovic on Sunday after missing Friday's game in St. Louis. The 32-year-old Nugent-Hopkins has put up 17 goals, 50 points, 102 shots and a minus-8 rating through 57 appearances in 2025-26.

Nesbitt scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Windsor's 8-2 win over London on Sunday.

Nesbitt has a goal and six assists over four contests in March. The Flyers prospect has seen mostly stagnant offense from last year to this year, posting 19 goals and 52 points through 52 outings after coming up a point short of a point-per-game pace in 65 outings in 2024-25. Nesbitt was selected 12th overall in 2025, so there will be higher expectations for the 19-year-old heading into next season, though he could help with a strong playoff run in the OHL.

Wennberg (upper body) did not take the ice for warmups and won't play Sunday against the Senators, the team announced.

Wennberg's absence comes as a bit of a surprise after he finished Saturday's game against the Canadiens and recorded an assist in 16:45 of ice time. The 31-year-old is in the midst of one of his best seasons, registering 43 points (13 goals, 30 assists) in 64 games. The Sharks will next be in action Tuesday in Edmonton, and it remains to be seen whether Wennberg will be available for that game.

MacLean recorded an assist and two hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Flames.

MacLean had been a scratch for the previous three games. He appears to be battling Marc Gatcomb for a fourth-line spot, so neither player is likely to carve out enough playing time to be a fantasy option. MacLean has seven points, 35 shots on net, 95 hits and 33 PIM over 48 outings this season.

Trocheck scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

Trocheck ended an eight-game goal drought with this effort. He still had nine assists in that span. The 32-year-old center is up to 13 goals, 46 points, 91 shots on net, 150 hits, 48 PIM, 42 blocked shots and 48 PIM over 51 appearances. Trocheck remains a bright spot for the Rangers while filling a top-six role.

Laba scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

Laba typically doesn't get much power-play time, but he was able to cash in while on the ice near the end of a Minnesota penalty. The 22-year-old's game has taken off lately with three goals and two assists over his last five outings. For the season, the rookie center has nine goals, 21 points (five on the power play), 60 shots on net, 94 hits, 40 blocked shots and 22 PIM over 63 appearances in a middle-six role.

Nugent-Hopkins (personal) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Predators, Tony Brar of Oilers TV reports.

Nugent-Hopkins missed Friday's game against the Blues, and his status for Sunday is up in the air after he didn't participate in line rushes during the morning skate. The 32-year-old has enjoyed another solid season, registering 50 points (17 goals, 33 assists) in 57 games. Matt Savoie has seen a big bump in usage during Nugent-Hopkins' absence, playing on the top line with Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman.

Kampf has returned home to Vancouver to be with his wife while they await the birth of their second child, Tarik El-Bashir of Monumental Sports Network reports Sunday.

Kampf hasn't suited up with the Capitals since being acquired due to issues with getting his work visa, and now he has another reason to miss some time with him and his wife expecting their second child soon. The 31-year-old has two goals and four assists in 38 games on the season. The Capitals have some time off and don't play again until Wednesday against the Senators.

Suzuki scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Sharks.

Suzuki found the back of the net in the second period with a snap shot, giving him 22 goals on the season. The star playmaker has been one of Montreal's best players since the Olympic break, notching 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in eight appearances. On the season, Suzuki is up to 76 points (22 goals, 54 assists), and if he stays healthy, he's on pace to surpass the career-best 89 points he delivered across 82 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.
