Ferraro notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Red Wings.

Ferraro snapped an eight-game point drought with this helper. During that slump, he went minus-9 with 24 hits and 14 blocked shots. The 26-year-old defenseman plays a physical game, and that doesn't often include making much of an impact on offense. He's at three helpers, 23 shots on net, 56 hits, 39 blocks and a minus-8 rating through 20 appearances.

Mintyukov recorded an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

Mintyukov has two helpers over his last three contests. He's turning things around after a 10-game slump, though it helps that he's in a larger role while Cam Fowler (upper body) is sidelined. Mintyukov has four points, 20 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 16 outings.

Gudas notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Stars.

Gudas has earned his three helpers this season over the last five games. He also has 10 PIM, 16 hits and 11 blocked shots in that span. The defenseman is up to 54 hits, 47 blocks, 14 PIM, 15 shots on net and a minus-1 rating while filling a top-four role as a defensive specialist for the Ducks.

Pettersson was reassigned from AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Pettersson has yet to make his NHL debut. The 20-year-old blueliner has registered four helpers and a plus-3 rating through 15 games with Abbotsford this season. The 6-foot-3 Swedish native was selected in the third round by Vancouver in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.

Hutton (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

Hutton is week-to-week after suffering an upper-body injury in Sunday's 5-2 loss to Washington. He hasn't earned a point in five appearances while posting six shots on goal, five blocked shots and three hits. Following his placement on LTIR, Hutton won't be eligible to play until at least Dec. 12 against Winnipeg. Vegas called up forwards Jonas Rondbjerg and Mason Morelli in corresponding moves while adding Mark Stone (lower body) to injured reserve.

Grans recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating over 16:11 of ice time in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Grans' first stint in the NHL is likely to be a short one, but he was able to get a milestone checked off with his first point. The defenseman assisted on a Tyson Foerster tally in the third period. Grans will likely head back to AHL Lehigh Valley once one or more of Cam York (upper body), Jamie Drysdale (upper body) or Emil Andrae (undisclosed) is cleared to return to action.

De Haan was scratched for the third time in eight November games when he sat out Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

De Haan has played a majority of the time, logging one assist, 22 shots on net, 19 hits and 28 blocked shots over 15 appearances. The 33-year-old is not a full-time player, and he's often limited to a third-pairing role when the Avalanche are healthy on defense. The blueliner will likely continue to rotate in and out of the lineup while competing with Oliver Kylington and John Ludvig for playing time.

Toews recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 3-2 win over the Flyers.

Toews has four points (one goal, three assists) over his last eight games. The defenseman struggled after sustaining a lower-body injury early in the campaign, but he's getting back to his usual level of production. He's now at five points, 24 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over 15 appearances.

Joseph (lower body) won't be available for Tuesday's home matchup with Minnesota.

Joseph will miss his third straight game after suffering the injury against Buffalo on Nov. 14. Head coach Drew Bannister did relay that the left-shot blueliner is nearing a return. Joseph has picked up an assist through 13 games. Corey Schueneman will remain on the third defensive pairing in the interim.

Lagesson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Tuesday.

Lagesson was a healthy scratch for Monday's 5-4 overtime loss to San Jose because Simon Edvinsson (lower body) returned to the lineup. The 28-year-old Lagesson has two goals and five points in 11 AHL outings this season.
