Fleury was sent to AHL Coachella Valley on Wednesday.

Fleury has no points, four hits and three blocks in two appearances with Seattle in 2024-25. Seattle doesn't play again until Friday's tilt versus Vegas, so it's possible the Kraken will recall him before their next game.

Pulock notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Penguins.

With the left side of the Islanders' defense ravaged by injuries, Pulock moved over to his off side to help cover. He played 29:03 in Tuesday's contest and could continue to see big minutes in all situations until one of Mike Reilly or Alexander Romanov is able to return from their respective upper-body injuries. Through 13 outings, Pulock has four assists, 19 shots on net, 17 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He has chipped in 5-6 power-play points in each of the last three seasons but typically won't feature with the man advantage when the Islanders are at full strength.

Sanheim recorded an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

This was Sanheim's first scoring contribution since his three-point effort versus the Canadiens on Oct. 27. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to play big minutes, logging 23:51 per game despite seeing just traces of power-play usage. He's at six points, 28 shots on net, 13 hits, 27 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a minus-2 rating over 13 outings. Sanheim has appeal for category coverage, but don't expect him to move the needle by much on offense.

Slavin produced an assist and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Slavin ended a three-game dry spell on offense by setting up a Jordan Martinook tally in the second period. Defense remains Slavin's primary focus on the ice, as he's chipped in a modest four assists with 19 blocked shots, 13 shots on goal and a plus-4 rating over 11 outings this season. His stable top-four role could make him an option in some fantasy formats, but his scoring pace is down from his usual level, in part due to a drop in shot volume.

Zub (concussion) might be available Thursday versus the Islanders, per Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia on Wednesday.

Zub hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 14. He has no points, three hits and a block in three appearances in 2024-25. If Zub draws back into the lineup Thursday, then Jacob Bernard-Docker might serve as a healthy scratch.

Roy (lower body) is expected to be activated off injured reserve and play Wednesday versus Nashville, head coach Spencer Carbery told Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Roy hasn't been in the lineup since Oct. 12 due to his lower-body injury. He's projected to serve on the third pairing alongside Rasmus Sandin. Dylan McIlrath, who has dressed in Washington's last 10 games, might be a healthy scratch Wednesday.

Bogosian scored a goal in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Kings.

Bogosian found the back of the net for the first time this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect consistent production from the veteran defender. This was just his third point of the season, and he doesn't add much in fantasy outside of physicality in some formats. He has 13 hits and 14 blocked shots in his 12 appearances to go along with three points.

Burns notched two assists in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.

Both helpers came in the second period, giving Burns his first multi-point performance of the season. The veteran blueliner began the year with a five-game point drought, but since then he's racked up five points -- all assists -- in the last six contests.

Chychrun (upper body) skated Wednesday, but he isn't taking contact yet, per Sammi Silber of The Hockey News.

Chychrun won't play if he's not cleared for contact, so it's reasonable to believe he'll miss his fourth consecutive game when the Capitals host the Predators on Wednesday. The 26-year-old blueliner has two goals and four points in eight appearances in 2024-25. His continued absence increases the chances of Alexander Alexeyev remaining in the lineup.

Dahlin notched two assists, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Senators.

It's the second multi-point performance in the last five games for Dahlin. After a bit of a quiet start to the season, the 24-year-old blueliner has gotten rolling with a goal and nine points over the last 10 contests, adding 31 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating during that stretch.
