Suzuki notched two assists, including one on the power play, and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Suzuki is in a six-game goal drought, matching his longest of the season, but he's still earned five helpers in that span. The 26-year-old center has only one stretch of two contests without a point all season, providing steady offense in a top-line spot. He's earned 50 points (23 on the power play), 99 shots on net, 40 blocked shots, 35 hits and a plus-18 rating over 46 appearances.

Kapanen scored a goal on five shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.

Kapanen has been excellent to start January with five goals and two assists over seven games this month. The 22-year-old center has firmly taken control of a second-line role this season, playing a steady all-around game. He's at 16 goals (most among rookies) and 11 assists while adding 85 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating through 46 outings overall.

Dunne is being further evaluated by team doctors and could miss some time, Paul Hamilton of WGR Sports Radio 550 reports Tuesday.

Dunne has been in and out of the lineup as a healthy scratch, but it appears that maybe he was dealing with this undisclosed injury as a contributing factor. Even when he has played, the 27-year-old center has struggled to produce offensively with just one goal and three assists in his 28 outings.

Coleman (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

Coleman's designation for IR, assuming it was retroactive to his last game, will mean he is out of action for the Flames' next two contests, at a minimum. In his last seven outings, the veteran forward notched three goals on 21 shots to go with one assist and 20 hits.

Henrique was moved to long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

Henrique was shifted to LTIR in a corresponding move to Jake Walman (lower body) and Tristan Jarry (lower body) being activated by the Oilers ahead of Tuesday's game against Nashville. Henrique's move comes as no surprise, as the team had already reported that he would be out through the Olympic Break. With 10 points in 43 games this season, he'll look to get his campaign back on track once he returns to the lineup.

Jarvis scored a shorthanded goal on five shots and added two hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Red Wings.

Jarvis has collected two goals and two assists over four games since he returned from a rib injury. The 23-year-old forward's tally was part of the Hurricanes' third-period rally to force overtime Monday. For the season, he has 21 goals, 33 points, 125 shots on net, 55 hits and a plus-2 rating over 38 appearances. Jarvis has earned three shorthanded goals and five power-play points to showcase his versatility once again.

Thomas (lower body) is slated to miss Tuesday's home contest against the Hurricanes.

According to the Blues, Thomas has been dealing with an injury that he recently aggravated, presumably in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights. The right-shot center didn't participate in Tuesday's morning skate and is considered day-to-day at this time. Brayden Schenn will skate between Otto Stenberg and Jimmy Snuggerud on the top line Tuesday, and Dalibor Dvorsky is set to center the second line as a result of Thomas' absence.

Draisaitl scored a goal in Monday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks.

Draisaitl found the scoresheet late into Monday's contest with a twine finder just eight seconds after Evan Bouchard's empty-net score. Overall, the 30-year-old Draisaitl now has 24 goals, 64 points and 129 shots on net across 46 games this season. Since Dec. 4, he ranks fourth in the league in points with 33 points across 19 games. He has played a large role in Connor McDavid's 19-game point streak with impressive numbers of his own. Draisaitl should continue to push towards his fifth consecutive season north of 100 points by the end of the regular season.

Pospisil (undisclosed) was placed on long-term injured reserve and assigned to AHL Calgary on Tuesday for an LTI conditioning loan.

Pospisil hasn't played yet in the 2025-26 campaign due to an injury he sustained during the preseason. He had four goals, 25 points, 114 shots on net, 301 hits and 84 PIM in 81 appearances during the 2024-25 regular season.

Mercer produced a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

The 24-year-old opened the scoring midway through the first period, wiring a shot past Jesper Wallstedt on a feed from behind the net by Nico Hischier. Mercer then helped set up Ondrej Palat for New Jersey's final tally in the third. It was Mercer's first multi-point performance since Nov. 29, while the goal was only his second in 21 games since then. On the season, he's managed 12 goals and 28 points in 46 contests.
