Wilsby scored the first goal of his career in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.

The 24-year-old rookie flashed some slick offensive skill on the final goal of the night. With the Predators clinging to a 1-0 lead, Wilsby collected an errant pass from Steven Stamkos, danced around Reilly Smith, skated into the slot and went top shelf over Igor Shesterkin. With Roman Josi (lower body) injured, and Jeremy Lauzon (lower body) and Alexandre Carrier (upper body) both on IR, Wilsby has seen more than 21 minutes of ice time in four straight games and produced three points, seven shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits and a plus-4 rating. The 2020 fourth-round pick appears to be on his way to earning a regular spot in the lineup, even after Nashville's blue line gets healthier.

Harley (illness) will likely be a game-time decision Wednesday versus Toronto, per Stars radio analyst Bruce LeVine.

Head coach Peter DeBoer said that the Stars will have some game-time decisions because the flu is making its way through the team. While Harley wasn't mentioned by name, it stands to reason that he'll be among those questionable after missing Monday's 3-1 win against Washington due to an illness. The 23-year-old defenseman has four goals and 14 points in 29 appearances in 2024-25.

Gostisbehere picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Islanders.

The veteran blueliner had a hand in Andrei Svechnikov's game-winner early in the first period as well as a Tyson Jost tally in the second. Gostisbehere has four multi-point performances in the last 11 games, piling up an impressive two goals and 13 points over that stretch, and he's been especially productive with the man advantage -- eight of those points (one goal, seven helpers) have come on the power play.

Carlile was reassigned to AHL Syracuse on Wednesday.

Carlile was summoned from the minors Tuesday, but he ended up being a healthy scratch for the Lightning's 5-3 victory over Columbus because Victor Hedman (lower body) was able to play. Carlile might still be recalled before Thursday's tilt against St. Louis -- Tampa Bay has just six healthy defensemen on its roster after sending him down.

Walman notched two assists and four shots on goal in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Jets.

Walman helped out on Macklin Celebrini's second-period equalizer and a go-ahead goal by Fabian Zetterlund in the third. This was Walman's second multi-point effort in his last three outings. The 28-year-old defenseman already has a career year to his name with five goals, 19 helpers, six power-play points, 75 shots on net, 45 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 29 appearances. He's been a big boost to any fantasy manager who took a chance on him in drafts or those who plucked him off the waiver wire early in the campaign.

Miller suited up for the fourth time in the last 10 games Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Sharks, logging two PIM in 13:49 of ice time.

Miller was a fixture on the third pairing early in the year, but the Jets started to fade in late November. That prompted head coach Scott Arniel to give some playing time to Dylan Coghlan and Ville Heinola, which has in turn led to Miller spending some games as a healthy scratch. The 32-year-old Miller has seven points, 34 shots on net, 34 hits, 22 blocked shots, 18 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 27 appearances, but he hasn't earned a point since Nov. 14.

DeMelo logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

DeMelo has a helper in three straight games, following a stretch of 14 contests in which he failed to record a point. The 31-year-old defenseman has remained in a top-four role throughout the year thanks to his steady defensive play. He's at six assists, 30 shots on net, 56 hits, 37 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 33 outings this season.

Borgen was held off the scoresheet for the 17th straight game in Tuesday's 3-0 loss to the Senators.

The Kraken don't have a strong offense, and that makes it tough for a defense-first player like Borgen to chip in points. The 27-year-old has just two points over 33 outings this season. He's added a physical element with 48 hits, 37 blocked shots and nine PIM. Borgen seems to be pretty safe in the lineup -- Josh Mahura has typically only played when there's an injury concern.

Hamonic has gone 14 games without a point after being held off the scoresheet in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Kraken.

Hamonic was scratched once in that span, but he's generally stayed in the lineup this season, especially with Artem Zub (foot) already having suffered two major injuries. Hamonic has just one assist to go with 36 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 33 hits and a minus-9 rating over 30 appearances this season.

Gavrikov picked up two assists in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins on Tuesday.

Gavrikov snapped a five-game point drought with the helpers, giving him 13 points, including 11 assists, in 31 games this season. He won't push for a new career mark, but Gavrikov could flirt with 30 points this season. He's also on track for a career high in blocks -- he will approach 170 if he maintains this pace and stays healthy in the process.
