Chisholm scored a goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Chisholm opened the scoring late in the first period with a slap shot after being set up by Frederick Gaudreau. The 24-year-old Chisholm got his first goal of 2024-25 and his sixth point across 18 games this season. He doesn't produce enough offensively to be worthy of much fantasy attention.

Manson (upper body) is considered week-to-week after missing Saturday's game versus the Oilers, Evan Rawal of the Denver Gazette reports.

Manson is likely farther out from a return than Oliver Kylington (undisclosed), who is day-to-day. Manson will probably miss at least the first half of the Avalanche's upcoming road trip, and he could be out longer. Calvin de Haan and John Ludvig will continue to act as the third pairing until Colorado gets healthier on the blue line.

Bernard-Docker recorded an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Bernard-Docker spent most of November as a healthy scratch, but he's played in four of the last five games. He's getting another look since Artem Zub (broken foot) is out well into December at a minimum. Still, Bernard-Docker is seeing limited ice time on the third pairing and next to nothing for power-play time. He has three assists, 12 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-1 rating over 13 appearances this season.

Chabot notched an assist in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kings.

Chabot snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. That's his worst drought of the season so far. Chabot has generally been steady for the Senators, even though he's no longer the team's unquestioned top blueliner. He has a goal, 11 assists, 55 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-4 rating through 23 outings this season.

Schmidt recorded a power-play assist and three hits in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Hurricanes.

Not to rain on any parades, but Schmidt's helper came on the Panthers' last goal as they were running up the score in the third period. The 33-year-old often plays on the second power-play unit, but it hasn't led to a particularly high level of offense or consistency. He's up to eight points (three on the power play), 18 shots on net, 27 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 23 appearances. Schmidt played in all but one of the Panthers' 14 games in November and looks to have the edge over Uvis Balinskis and Adam Boqvist in terms of staying in the lineup at this stage of the campaign.

Boqvist scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Hurricanes.

Boqvist got his first goal of the season during a four-goal burst over a span of 4:42 in the third period. The 24-year-old defenseman hadn't played much in November, dressing in just one of the first 13 games of the month. He replaced Uvis Balinskis in the lineup Saturday and could compete with him moving forward. Boqvist has three points, 14 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 11 appearances. His upside comes from offense, but he's unlikely to help in fantasy if he can't stay in the lineup.

Gavrikov picked up two assists Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Senators.

He also earned two blocks and fired two shots in Saturday's contest. Gavrikov isn't typically known for offense, but he is on a near 30-point and 180-block pace this campaign. He has notched two goals and six helpers across his last 13 outings.

Lamoureux (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Lamoureux was given a 4-6 week timeline for his recovery after being injured in Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens. He has accounted for three points, 18 hits, 42 PIM and 11 blocked shots over 15 appearances this season. Due to Lamoureux's absence, Juuso Valimaki has returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch for four straight games.

Fox produced a pair of power-play assists, three shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Canadiens.

The two-helper game gave Fox 20 assists through 23 outings this season. He's earned nine of them on the power play after helping out on goals by Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad in Saturday's contest. Fox has added 31 shots on net, 26 blocked shots, 15 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-4 rating this season, but he still hasn't scored a goal yet.

McCabe (upper body) is reportedly fine and shouldn't miss any time, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

It's a fortunate break for the Maple Leafs, who have dealt with injuries for most of November, although their defense has been mostly unscathed. If McCabe sits out a game, Jani Hakanpaa or Philippe Myers could enter Monday's lineup against Chicago.
