Chatfield scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins.

Chatfield ended an 11-game point drought with the game-tying goal in the second period. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes, but he rarely makes a big impact on offense. For the season, he's at four goals, 10 points, 61 shots on net, 38 blocked shots, 31 hits and a plus-13 rating over 40 appearances.

Olofsson was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on an emergency basis Sunday.

Olofsson will likely serve as Seattle's seventh defenseman in the short term as a result of Adam Larsson contending with an upper-body injury. Olofsson has made just four appearances with the Kraken since the 2022-23 campaign. The 30-year-old has produced two goals and 11 points over 29 games with the Firebirds in 2024-25.

Fleury was recalled from AHL Coachella Valley on an emergency basis Sunday.

Fleury made two appearances for the Kraken earlier this year and was held pointless with four hits and three blocked shots while averaging 11:29 of ice time. The 26-year-old was sent down in early November but will rejoin the NHL club since Adam Larsson (upper body) is banged up and Yanni Gourde (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

McCabe (upper body) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Flyers.

McCabe logged seven PIM and one hit in 7:12 of ice time before exiting Sunday's contest. The left-shot blueliner appeared to have suffered an injury after fighting Philadelphia's Garnet Hathaway late in the first period. McCabe should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's rematch against the Flyers.

Letang (lower body) was activated from injured reserve Sunday.

Pittsburgh moved Philip Tomasino (lower body) to the IR list in a corresponding move. Letang will return to the top pairing and first power-play unit versus Carolina on Sunday after missing the last three games. He has produced seven goals, 16 points, 84 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and 56 hits in 34 appearances this season. With Letang back, Ryan Graves will be a healthy scratch versus the Hurricanes.

Cole logged an assist, three shots on goal, three hits and five blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Stars.

Cole has a helper in back-to-back contests and four assists over his last six games. The 35-year-old defenseman may be worth considering in deeper fantasy formats due to his non-scoring production, but the offense is likely to fade eventually. For the season, he's at 12 points, 43 shots on net, 47 hits, 110 blocked shots, 41 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 39 appearances in a second-pairing role.

Lundkvist notched an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Utah.

Lundkvist ended a five-game slump when he helped out on Oskar Back's second-period tally. The 24-year-old Lundkvist continues to play a bottom-four role on the Stars' blue line, and he shouldn't be counted on for steady offense. This season, he's racked up four assists, 43 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating over 30 appearances, well behind the pace that saw him log a career-high 19 points in 59 outings in the 2023-24 regular season.

Harley scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over Utah.

Harley scored at 3:01 of overtime to secure the win for the Stars. He had gone eight games without a goal and missed two contests due to an illness in that span. The 23-year-old defenseman has five goals, 18 points, 79 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and a plus-19 rating over 36 appearances. He hasn't quite replicated his 47-point breakout from the 2023-24 regular season, but Harley continues to log big minutes in all situations.

Jensen (illness) was absent from Sunday's practice, TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

Jensen still could be available for Tuesday's game versus Detroit. He has two goals, 13 points, 45 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 37 hits in 38 appearances this season. With Travis Hamonic (lower body) unavailable, Ottawa may recall a blueliner from the minors as insurance for Jensen.

Pionk produced an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Red Wings.

This was Pionk's second helper in his last three games. The 29-year-old defenseman hasn't gotten on the scoresheet in consecutive outings since a three-game streak from Nov. 29 to Dec. 3. He's up to 28 points, 67 shots on net, 68 blocked shots, 60 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 41 outings in a second-pairing role. Pionk would have to go through a brutal slump to fall shy of earning the second 40-point campaign of his career.
