Bouchard posted three assists and four shots on goal in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Senators.

Two of his helpers came on the power play. Bouchard has a seven-game assist streak going, with 12 helpers in that span. The 24-year-old blueliner is up to 72 points (32 on the power play), 189 shots on net, 94 blocked shots, 60 hits and a plus-26 rating through 69 appearances.

Matheson scored a shorthanded goal and posted a plus-5 rating during Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

The goal is Matheson's 10th of the campaign and his first point in five games. Matheson has 48 points in 70 games, and he has seen ice time in excess of 28 minutes in multiple recent contests, but his ceiling is capped playing for a Montreal team that averages just 2.71 goals per game -- the fifth-worst mark in the league.

Evans (lower body) was injured Sunday against Montreal, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Evans logged just 2:22 of ice time during Sunday's loss. The 22-year-old rookie has eight points through 25 contests this season. He'll be considered questionable for Tuesday's game against Anaheim until another update is available.

Guhle scored a goal and two assists while adding a plus-4 rating in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Kraken.

Sunday was the first three-point game of Guhle's career. It brings the 22-year-old defender to six goals and 19 points through 66 games this season. The young defenseman is showing promise, but it's hard for fantasy managers to count on him despite regularly playing around 20 minutes each night. In the 15 games prior to Sunday's game, Guhle had just one goal and one assist.

Clifton scored an empty-net goal to seal Sunday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

The empty-netter is Clifton's third goal and 16th point of the campaign. The defender's minutes have gone up and down, but his offensive production hasn't been significant. In the 14 games before Sunday, he had just a goal and two assists. Moreover, he was held without a single shot six times.

Chychrun scored a pair of goals in Sunday's 5-3 victory over the Oilers.

Chychrun got the Senators on the board with a power-play goal in the first period, tying the game 1-1, before tallying the eventual game-winner on another man advantage late in the third, beating Calvin Pickard with a one-timer off a Drake Batherson feed. Chychrun had gone 18 games without a goal prior to Sunday's contest, picking up just two assists in that span. The 25-year-old blueliner now has 11 goals and 34 points through 70 games this season.

Fleury (lower body) will not play Sunday against Anaheim, Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Fleury has now missed five straight games but appears to be nearing a return. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against Boston.

Hedman (lower body) is considered day-to-day and will not be available Sunday against Anaheim, Erik Erlendsson of LightningInsider.com reports.

The day-to-day designation is good news, but Hedman will be absent for at least one game. The veteran blueliner has been productive as usual on the offensive end this year, racking up 12 goals and 69 points through 68 contests. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Bruins.

Brown (illness) will not dress Sunday against Dallas, Craig Morgan of PHNX Sports reports.

Brown has been limited to just six points in 40 games this season, including one point in his last 13 appearances. His next chance to play will be Tuesday against Columbus. Rookie Cameron Crotty will make his NHL debut in Brown's absence.

Hakanpaa (lower body) will not dress Sunday against the Coyotes, Mike Heika of the Stars' official site reports.

Sunday's contest will be Hakanpaa's third consecutive absence. The team has yet to provide much of an update on his timeline, but his next chance to suit up will be Tuesday in San Jose.
