Chabot (lower body) won't play Thursday versus the Blue Jackets, per TSN 1200 Ottawa.

Chabot is set to miss his fourth straight game, and he has yet to return to practice. With the 27-year-old out, Maxence Guenette should continue to see time in a bottom-four role.

Leddy dished out an assist and blocked four shots in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Leddy has now posted assists in back-to-back games, bringing his total for the season to 20 assists in addition to three goals. The 32-year-old blueliner is playing big minutes with 22:11 of ice time through 66 games, but his production remains mediocre for fantasy purposes.

Dunn (upper body) will not be in the lineup Thursday versus Washington, according to Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network.

Coach Dave Hakstol made the announcement after practice Thursday. Dunn will miss his fourth straight game. Justin Schultz will continue to quarterback the first power-play unit in Dunn's absence. Dunn has 11 goals and 45 points in 57 appearances this season. Consider him day-to-day at this time.

Kulak recorded an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.

Kulak snapped a four-game point drought with the helper. The 30-year-old defenseman has 13 points over 64 contests this season, with four of those points coming over seven games in March. He's added 72 shots on net, 56 hits, 59 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating on the year while filling a third-pairing role that's produced little fantasy impact.

Marino (upper body) will miss Thursday's game on the road against Dallas, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Marino has played in every game but one this season, recording four goals and 19 assists. Once Marino is ready to return, look for him to be slotted into the second defensive pairing.

Brzustewicz signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Flames on Thursday.

Brzustewicz was included in the package Calgary received from Vancouver in the Elias Lindholm trade. The 2023 third-round pick has spent the 2023-24 campaign with the OHL's Kitchener Rangers, racking up 12 goals and 85 points through 62 contests. The 19-year-old defender could make the jump to the AHL in 2024-25, but he could also end up spending another season in the OHL.

Bouchard notched two assists in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Capitals.

Both of Bouchard's helpers came on the man advantage, setting up Connor McDavid in the opening period and Zach Hyman in the second. The 24-year-old Bouchard has proven to be a weapon from the point on the power play, where he's recorded 28 points (six goals, 22 assists) this season. Overall, he's up to 15 goals and 63 points through 64 games.

Josi picked up two assists in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Winnipeg.

Both helpers came in the first period as Nashville jumped out to an early lead it wouldn't relinquish. Josi hasn't gone more than one game in a row without a point since before Christmas, an incredible run of consistency. In 16 contests since the All-Star break, he's erupted for five goals and 20 points while adding 49 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating.

Cole managed an assist, five blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Cole snapped a nine-game point drought when he set up J.T. Miller's goal in the opening minute. The 35-year-old Cole has made few scoring contributions this year with nine points over 66 appearances. He's added 142 blocked shots, 70 hits, 57 PIM, 53 shots on net and a plus-12 rating while playing in a bottom-four role.

Zadorov scored a goal, dished an assist, doled out five hits and had a fight in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Avalanche.

Zadorov got the Gordie Howe hat trick done in the first 25 minutes of the game. He assisted on an Ilya Mikheyev tally in the first period before scoring one of his own in the second. Less than a minute after his goal, Zadorov fought Josh Manson. With six points over his last 13 contests, Zadorov has been okay on offense. He's at 16 points, 68 shots on net, 140 hits, 55 blocked shots, 96 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 61 appearances between the Canucks and the Flames this season.
