McDonagh notched two assists and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

McDonagh has a goal and five helpers over his last six games, a far better stretch compared to the preceding 24 contests in which he had just two helpers. The defenseman isn't known to put up steady offense, so his recent burst has been a pleasant surprise. McDonagh is up to 17 points, 62 shots on net, 86 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 49 outings as a top-four fixture for the Predators.

Josi provided a pair of assists, fired three shots on goal and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Josi has racked up 23 points over 19 contests since the start of January. This was his seventh multi-point effort in that span, which contrasts positively with just four scoreless outings. The defenseman crossed the 40-assist mark for the fifth time in the last six years and now has 52 points, 177 shots on net, 101 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating through 56 appearances.

Bogosian (upper body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Jets.

Bogosian sustained an injury while blocking a shot late in the first period, and it's enough to keep him out of the rest of the contest. If the 33-year-old is unavailable Friday versus the Oilers, Jon Merrill or Alex Goligoski could fill in for a bottom-four assignment.

Cole found the back of the net during Monday's 10-7 loss to Minnesota.

The goal ended a lengthy 16-game point drought for Cole. The blueliner is utilized in a defensive role first and foremost, and that is shown by his eight points through 56 contests. He can provide value in deeper leagues with his 51 PIM, 53 hits, 117 blocks and plus-12 rating.

Marino (illness) won't play Tuesday against Washington, per Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Marino will be replaced in the lineup by Jonas Siegenthaler, who is ready to return from a broken foot. The 26-year-old Marino has four goals, 19 points and 73 blocked shots in 54 games this season.

Theodore will be in action against the Predators on Tuesday.

Theodore will be in the lineup for the first time since Nov. 22 versus Dallas, a stretch of 35 games on the shelf. With the blueliner suiting up, he could be restored to a power-play role where he has registered 10 of his 18 points this season.

MacDonald was put on waivers Tuesday, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

MacDonald has been a versatile player for the Sharks this season, seeing playing time at forward and on defense. He has registered six goals, one assist and 34 shots on net over 22 appearances in 2023-24.

Perunovich (lower body) was put on injured reserve Tuesday.

Perunovich, who has missed the past seven games, can be activated when he's ready to return. However, a timeline for his recovery has not be provided. Perunovich has 12 assists, 23 shots on goal and 28 blocked shots in 31 appearances this campaign.

Faulk (lower body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Tuesday.

A timetable for his return remains unclear, but he is eligible to be activated whenever he's ready to play. Faulk, who was last in the lineup Jan. 23, has 19 points, 90 shots on goal, 77 blocked shots and 52 hits in 31 appearances this season.

Murphy (groin) remains out indefinitely with no clear time frame to get back into action, Charlie Roumeliotis of NBC Sports Chicago reports Tuesday.

Murphy has already been out of the lineup for the last 13 games and looks no closer to actually returning to the ice. With just one goal and three assists in his last 16 outings, few fantasy players will be anxiously awaiting his return. Still, the blueliner could offer some value in formats that utilize hits and blocks.
