Leddy (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Hurricanes.

Leddy will miss a second straight game Saturday, and he is questionable for Tuesday's matchup versus Winnipeg. Leddy has averaged 22:09 of ice time in four games this season, supplying four shots on goal and five blocked shots. With Leddy unavailable, Pierre-Olivier Joseph will be in Saturday's lineup.

Gostisbehere scored a power-play goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Penguins.

The blueliner has found the back of the net in back-to-back games after opening his account in the 4-2 win over the Devils on Tuesday. This power-play goal provided some much-needed insurance for Carolina in the final stages of the second period while providing the Canes a 3-1 lead. Gostisbehere has two goals in three appearances this season.

Dumba (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, according to Brian Rea of Bally Sports Southwest.

Dumba suffered the injury a week ago against the Islanders and is considered week-to-week. In a corresponding move, the Stars recalled Matej Blumel from AHL Texas because center Sam Steel (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's contest against Edmonton, and Tyler Seguin (lower body) is unavailable.

Dumoulin registered an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Dumoulin has a helper in each of the last two games. The 33-year-old defenseman has played a shutdown role to begin his tenure with the Ducks, adding 12 blocked shots, eight hits, six shots on net and a plus-2 rating over four appearances. Dumoulin's playing style doesn't tend to lead to much offense, so he's unlikely to be anything more than a streaming option for non-scoring production in fantasy.

Zellweger recorded an assist and two PIM in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Zellweger picked up his first point over three appearances this season when he set up Troy Terry's equalizer late in the third period. The 21-year-old Zellweger has added eight shots on net and a plus-2 rating. He's not guaranteed a spot in the lineup, especially once Jackson LaCombe (illness) returns, but fantasy managers in dynasty formats should still be excited for Zellweger's potential in his first full campaign.

Makar notched an assist, four shots on goal, four blocked shots, two hits and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Ducks.

Makar extended his season-opening point streak to five games when he assisted on a Casey Mittelstadt goal in the second period. The 25-year-old Makar has a goal, eight helpers, 10 shots on net, six hits, six blocked shots and a minus-6 rating. He'll continue to see a massive role in all situations, and with the Avalanche finding more success on offense, the superstar blueliner should continue to be productive.

Ceci logged an assist in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Jets.

Ceci picked up his first point as a Shark on a goal by Luke Kunin in the second period. Through five games, Ceci has added eight hits, six blocked shots, six shots on goal, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. His non-scoring production can be reliable, but even with a top-four role in San Jose, he's unlikely to score enough to be an option in most fantasy formats.

Walman notched a power-play assist, five shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 8-3 loss to the Jets.

Walman helped out on a Tyler Toffoli tally. This was Walman's second assist in five games, and he's added 14 shots on net, 13 blocked shots, five hits and a minus-1 rating. The 28-year-old defenseman is playing in a large role this season, which includes quarterbacking the first power-play unit for the first time in his career. The Sharks' early injuries have hampered their offense, but Walman should still offer decent scoring while also logging a high volume of blocks.

Miller provided an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

Miller set up a Josh Morrissey tally in the first period. While he's been a regular on the third pairing, Miller hasn't chipped in much production of any kind this season. He has one helper, a plus-2 rating, six shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots. The 31-year-old defenseman may eventually have to share his spot in the lineup with Dylan Coghlan, who has yet to make his season debut, or Logan Stanley (knee), who is nearing his anticipated return date after undergoing surgery to address a meniscus issue.

Morrissey scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots and added two PIM in Friday's 8-3 win over the Sharks.

Morrissey's first goal of the season came 1:59 into the game. He's added four assists over four games, opening the season on a point streak. The 29-year-old defenseman also has nine shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-5 rating. He's a high-end fantasy blueliner not just for his offense -- he can pile up shots and blocks while carrying a strong plus-minus rating.
