Goncalves notched two assists, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Goncalves' offense has come around with four points over his last four games. He was a healthy scratch for four games in a row in the middle of December, but he's now seeing some top-six usage on paper, though his overall ice time is still in line with that of a bottom-six forward. He's at 11 points, 26 shots on net, 35 hits, 23 PIM, 17 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating across 34 appearances.

Paul scored a goal, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-4 shootout win over the Canadiens.

Paul has been playing on the fourth line recently, though his versatility has seen him take some extra shifts outside of that role. The 30-year-old has earned five points over 13 outings in December. He's up to four goals, nine points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits and a minus-1 rating through 19 appearances.

Monahan notched two assists and two shots on goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

Monahan is mired in an 11-game goal drought. He has earned six assists in that span, but he's gotten on the scoresheet in just three of those contests. The 31-year-old center has gone nine games without exceeding 20 minutes of ice time, slipping into middle-six usage rather than the top-six role he started the year in. He's now at 19 points, 65 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 37 appearances.

Sillinger scored an empty-net goal on two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Islanders.

Sillinger ended an eight-game goal drought with the empty-netter. He had two assists and a minus-6 rating in that span, a stretch that has seen him drop to the fourth line. His ice time bottomed out at 8:11 in Sunday's contest. Sillinger has four goals, 16 points, 69 shots on net, 40 hits and 16 PIM across 36 appearances this season.

Clattenburg (eye) was activated from long-term injured reserve and assigned to AHL Bakersfield on Monday.

Following an 11-game absence, Clattenburg will return to action at the minor-league level. He has one goal, two points and 59 PIM in 15 AHL appearances this season. Clattenburg also has one goal, three shots on net, three blocked shots, 17 hits and 13 PIM in five NHL outings during the 2025-26 campaign.

Kozak (upper body) won't play against St. Louis on Monday, Lou Korac of The Hockey News reports.

Kozak was a full participant in Sunday's practice, but he will miss his fifth straight game. He has contributed two goals, four points, 19 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 62 hits in 24 outings this season.

Carolina claimed Philp off waivers from Edmonton on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Before being waived by the Oilers on Sunday, Philp missed 18 straight games due to an upper-body injury. Edmonton intended to send him to AHL Bakersfield if he cleared, but he will instead provide the Hurricanes with some forward depth. The 27-year-old has two goals, one assist, 12 shots on net and 24 hits across 15 NHL appearances this season.

Pinto (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.

Following a 10-game absence, Pinto appears to be ready to return to the lineup against Columbus on Monday. He has earned 12 goals, 18 points, 65 shots on net and 34 hits across 27 outings this campaign.

Dewar (undisclosed) left Monday's practice before its conclusion, per Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports.

Dewar has six goals, 12 points, 55 shots and 69 hits in 37 appearances this season. There was no update regarding his status after practice, but if Dewar can't play Tuesday versus Carolina, then Kevin Hayes will probably draw back into the lineup.

Carrick (illness) skated, but he's still considered a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Hurricanes, per Mollie Walker of the New York Post.

It's very encouraging that Carrick skated, so it wouldn't be surprising if he ends up being in the lineup. If he does play Monday, then Carrick will likely serve in a bottom-six capacity. Conor Sheary is expected to draw into the lineup if Carrick proves to be unavailable.
