Dellandrea will travel with the team for Wednesday's matchup with Seattle despite a lower-body injury, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.

Dellandrea is goalless through 13 games this season while putting just nine shots on net. The 25-year-old center has added five helpers and 29 hits along the way, but will no doubt be eager to find the back of the net sooner rather than later. If Dellandrea can't play Wednesday, it could see the Sharks rolling with seven blueliners against the Kraken.

Nugent-Hopkins logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Blues.

Nugent-Hopkins helped out on goals by Jack Roslovic and Andrew Mangiapane as the Oilers jumped out to a 2-0 lead that wouldn't last. While he hasn't scored in six games, Nugent-Hopkins has six assists, including four on the power play, in that span. Overall, the 32-year-old forward is at five goals, 10 helpers, nine power-play points, 23 shots on net and a minus-7 rating through 14 outings this season.

Suter scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Oilers.

Suter struck with 1:23 left in the third period, breaking a 2-2 tie in the process. The 29-year-old has four points over his last four games and looks to be settling in as a middle-six center for the Blues. He's up to five goals, eight points, 22 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-2 rating across 13 contests. Suter isn't the strongest scorer from a fantasy perspective, but he should be capable of challenging for a new career high in points after putting up 46 in 81 games with the Canucks last year.

Strome (upper body) joined the team at Tuesday's morning skate, per Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune.

Cavanagh noted that this is the first time Strome has practiced since the start of the campaign. The veteran forward has yet to play in 2025-26 and is on injured reserve due to his upper-body injury. Head coach Joel Quenneville recently said that Strome isn't too far off from a return to the lineup, but the 32-year-old will likely need a few more practices to work his way back toward game shape. Strome should slot into a middle-six role once he's given the green light to return to the lineup. The 2011 first-round selection had 10 goals and 41 points across 82 games last season.

Svechkov logged an assist in Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Svechkov was credited with a helper on Michael Bunting's third-period tally to pull the Predators within a goal. The helper was Svechkov's first point of the season. The 22-year-old center plays more of a defensive role on the third line, but he was scratched for a couple of games last week due to his slow start to the year. He's added 20 shots on net, six hits and a minus-3 rating across 12 appearances so far.

Tomasino provided an assist in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Tomasino has filled a part-time role this season, appearing in just six of the Penguins' first 14 games. The 24-year-old forward is unlikely to see much more than middle-six usage and minimal power-play time, though he could have a steadier role during the absences of Justin Brazeau (upper body), Rickard Rakell (hand) and Noel Acciari (upper body). Tomasino has added eight shots on net, eight hits, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating so far this year.

McMann scored the game-winning goal and added four hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Penguins.

Pittsburgh led 3-0 after two periods, but McMann had the fourth and final goal in a span of 10:12 for the Maple Leafs that flipped the game around in the third. The tally ended an eight-game skid for McMann, who still had 10 shots and 23 hits in that span. The 29-year-old may be a little streaky at times, but he's getting steady middle-six minutes. His recent slump has cost him a power-play role for now, but he could get it back if he warms up. For the season, McMann has four points, 21 shots, 41 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 appearances.

Brindley (concussion) is day-to-day and won't play against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Meghan Angley of Guerilla Sports reports.

Brindley will miss his second straight game, but he might be available to return against Edmonton on Saturday or versus Vancouver on Sunday. He has chipped in one goal, one assist, 12 shots on net and 12 hits across 12 appearances this season. Due to Brindley's absence, Tristen Nielsen could make his NHL debut against the Lightning on Tuesday.

Faksa (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's home matchup against the Oilers, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

It's not clear when Faksa got nicked up, as he was right below his average ice time in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Florida. The 33-year-old picked up three hits in 11:55 of game action in that contest. If Faksa can't suit up Tuesday, then Dallas might have to run with 11 forwards and seven blueliners, unless the team brings someone up from the minors on short notice to fill the potential void up front.

Beniers scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 3-1 win over Chicago.

Beniers gave the Kraken a two-goal lead at 7:36 of the second period with a wrister on the power play. He'd later added another point when setting up Jordan Eberle's third-period tally. The lack of offensive consistency hurts Beniers' upside. He has eight points in 12 games, but he's failed to crack the scoresheet in four of Seattle's last six contests.
