Jenner recorded a goal, an assist and four shots in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Jenner recorded both of his points during the second period, setting up Sean Monahan's goal at the 1:39 mark and later scoring with 1:58 left in the frame with a tip-in. Jenner has been far from a consistent offensive weapon for the Blue Jackets this season, but he seems to be turning things around with four points over his last four games (one goal, three helpers). Jenner has 10 points in 15 games this season and looks on pace to hover around the 40-50 point mark. His previous career-high mark was 49 points in the 2015-16 regular season.

Monahan scored a goal in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Monahan found the back of the net at the 1:39 mark of the second period to give the Blue Jackets a transitory 2-1 lead. The 31-year-old went scoreless in his first five games of the season, and while he's yet to truly deliver a breakout performance, at least he's cracked the scoresheet in seven of his last 10 games, tallying two goals and five assists in that span.

Fantilli recorded a goal and an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Oilers. He also added two shots on goal and two blocked shots.

Fantilli has posted back-to-back multi-point performances for the first time this season, and the 21-year-old center seems to be trending in the right direction with five points over his last four appearances. Fantilli had a breakout season with 54 points in 2024-25 and is looking poised to hover around that mark again in 2025-26 with 10 points (three goals, seven helpers) in his first 15 contests. Fantasy managers should continue to trust Fantilli, especially given his first-line role in the lineup.

Hyman (wrist) won't play in Philadelphia on Wednesday but will make his 2025-26 debut either in Columbus on Thursday or Saturday in Raleigh, Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton reports Tuesday.

Hyman is a possibility for Thursday's game, but the right-shot winger will definitely be available Saturday against the Hurricanes. Furthermore, the hope is for Hyman to be ready by Thursday, but that "will depend on final test," per Gregor. The 33-year-old could be eased into action in the early going, but he'll certainly fill a prominent role this season for a struggling Oilers club that is 7-6-4 to this point.

Trocheck picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 6-3 win over the Predators.

The veteran center's return from a 14-game absence due to an upper-body injury seemed to spark the Rangers, who finally collected their first win of the season on home ice. Trocheck was slotted right back in on a line with Artemi Panarin and Alexis Lafreniere, a unit with plenty of offensive potential, and the trio combined for three goals and seven points on the night.

Horvat scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Monday's 3-2 overtime win over the Devils.

The veteran center got the Islanders on the board early in the second period by snapping a shot past Jacob Markstrom to finish off an odd-man rush. Horvat is up to 12 goals on the season, two back of Nathan MacKinnon for the NHL lead, and his 20 points in 16 games paces the Isles by a healthy margin -- linemate Kyle Palmieri is tied with Mathew Barzal in second place with 13 points.

Sillinger is dealing with an illness and isn't in the lineup for Monday's road game versus the Oilers, according to Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers.

Sillinger will miss his first game of the season Monday. Miles Wood (illness) is also unavailable in Edmonton, so Zach Aston-Reese and Isac Lundestrom will suit up and skate in fourth-line roles. Sillinger's next chance to return to game action will be in the second half of a back-to-back in Seattle on Tuesday.

Novak scored a goal and blocked two shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Kings.

Novak opened the scoring at 8:48 of the first period. This was just his second goal of the year, though he produced a decent four assists over nine contests between tallies. The 28-year-old is up to seven points, 22 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating while filling a middle-six role.

Karlsson (lower body) won't play against Florida on Monday, according to SinBin Vegas.

Karlsson will miss at least one game after getting hurt in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Anaheim. However, it's unclear when he will be ready to return. Karlsson has earned four goals, seven points, 30 shots on net and 13 blocked shots through 14 appearances this season. With Karlsson unavailable to play versus the Panthers, Brett Howden will occupy the third-line center role in Monday's lineup.

Kopitar scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Penguins.

Kopitar lit the lamp on a power play just six minutes after the Penguins opened the scoring. With the tally, the 38-year-old center is up to two goals, eight points and 18 shots on goal in 12 games this season. Since his return from injury on Oct. 25, he has four total points and is beginning to trend upwards with a goal in each of his last two games. The 20-year NHL veteran is just 14 points away from 1,300 in his career, which he should hit with ease later this season if he stays healthy. Even in his last season, Kopitar is still a near point-per-game player and has a case to be rostered in most fantasy formats.
