NHL Player News

Liljegren (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday against the Golden Knights, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Liljegren is considered day-to-day with his undisclosed issue, suggesting he should be back sooner rather than later. With Liljegren on the shelf, look for Mark Giordano to rejoin the lineup versus Vegas.

Struble (lower body) won't play Tuesday against Arizona.

Struble will miss a second straight contest with his lower-body issue. The 22-year-old rookie defenseman has collected just seven points through 39 contests this season, so most fantasy managers shouldn't need to track his availability.

Harley notched a power-play assist and two PIM in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.

Harley snapped a three-game point drought with the helper. He set up Matt Duchene for the Stars' first tally in the game. While he probably won't push for anything near a point-per-game pace, Harley has been incredibly strong in his first full NHL campaign. He's at 35 points (six on the power play) with 108 shots on net, 104 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating through 57 appearances.

Shattenkirk notched an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

Shattenkirk has not played more than two games in a row since mid-January. The 35-year-old set up David Pastrnak's first of two goals in Monday's game. Through 47 outings, Shattenkirk has 15 points, 63 shots on net, 65 blocked shots, 37 hits and a minus-3 rating. With Derek Forbort (coach's decision) likely back in the fold Thursday versus the Golden Knights, Shattenkirk will presumably again find himself as a rotational option on the third pairing.

McAvoy notched an assist and blocked five shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Kraken.

McAvoy has been solid on offense with two goals and six assists over his last eight outings. He'd been held scoreless in his previous two games before helping out on a David Pastrnak tally Monday. McAvoy is up to 41 points, 100 shots on net, 103 hits, 107 blocked shots, 71 PIM and a plus-9 rating through 52 appearances. He has an outside chance of matching his career-best 56-point campaign from 2021-22 if he can finish this season on a high note.

Bouchard scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Kings.

With the Oilers down 2-1 in the second period, Bouchard assisted on Leon Draisaitl's power-play marker from the point to tie the game. He added the game-winning goal on his own in the third frame off a trademark blast from inside the blue line for his 15th goal of the year. This was his 14th multi-point game of the season. Bouchard continues to be a valuable asset on the Oilers' top power-play unit, earning 26 of his 56 points this season with the man advantage.

Borgen recorded an assist and three shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Bruins.

Borgen has amassed a goal and three assists over his last seven outings to provide some solid offense from the blue line. It's an uptick compared to his usual play -- he's at a career-high 21 points through 58 appearances. The 27-year-old has added 59 shots on net, 56 PIM, 145 hits, 75 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating while playing alongside Jamie Oleksiak on the second pairing for virtually the whole campaign.

Dunn scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Bruins.

Dunn tied the game at 2-2 with his third-period tally. The defenseman has scored in three straight games, and he's gotten on the scoresheet in four straight. The 27-year-old is up to 11 goals, 43 points, 113 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 56 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 54 outings overall. Dunn's top-pairing role, as well as his ample power-play time, make him a strong fantasy option.

Drysdale (undisclosed) is week-to-week but could return before the end of the season, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Drysdale took an open-ice hit Sunday against the Penguins and appeared to have injured his shoulder. The 21-year-old injured that same shoulder during the 2022-23 season, limiting him to just eight total games. Drysdale has four points in 17 games since being acquired by the Flyers. In his absence, Egor Zamula should see more consistent playing time.

Jensen (lower body) will not be available Monday against the Senators, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.

Jensen will now miss at least one game after being injured against Florida on Saturday. He was a game-time decision, so he could return as early as Tuesday against the Red Wings. The 33-year-old has eight assists in 56 appearances this season.
