Dobson had two assists in Friday's 4-3 overtime loss against the Blackhawks.

Dobson also ended up chipping in with four blocked shots and a hit in 26:19 of ice time across 29 shifts. Dobson has already tied a career best with 39 assists, and he has averaged a point per game through 45 contests this season. He is just seven points short of matching his career best, which was set during the 2021-22 campaign. He'll look to add to his totals next time out against the visiting Stars on Sunday.

Walman returned to action Friday in a 4-2 loss to the Hurricanes.

After missing the last three games with an illness, Walman managed one hit, one block, a shot on goal and a minus-1 rating versus Carolina. His illness did not seem to take away from his playing time, as he finished with 20:40 TOI.

Marino collected a goal in a 4-1 win over Columbus on Friday.

The Devils entered the second period down 1-0, but Marino was able to tie the game just 28 seconds into that frame. It was his third marker and 15th point in 43 outings in 2023-24. Marino had a great hot streak from Oct. 25-Nov. 14 in which he recorded a goal and eight points across nine appearances, but his offensive production has otherwise come sporadically this season.

Walman (illness) is in Friday's lineup against Carolina, per the NHL media site.

Walman missed the last three games while battling an illness but will be on the ice for the first time since Jan. 11 against Edmonton. The 27-year-old has nine goals -- tied for the most in his career -- and 17 points through 38 games this season.

Parayko posted an assist, a shot on net and three blocked shots across 19:24 of ice time in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Parayko continues to log big minutes on the blue line despite being left out of the power-play rotation. His upside is certainly limited because of his lack of power-play minutes, and the 30-year-old has posted just 14 points through 43 games.

Kessel recorded two blocked shots across 13:00 of ice time in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blues.

Kessel has played 10 NHL games over the past two seasons, but he has yet to post a point at the top level. Through eight games with the Blues this season, he has averaged 16:26 of ice time, firing six shots on net and blocking 18 shots. The 23-year-old blueliner has produced 42 points through 115 career games in the AHL.

Murphy (lower body) will not dress Friday against the Islanders, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.

Murphy will miss a third straight game, but he's still considered day-to-day. Chicago's next game is Monday in Vancouver. Murphy has just eight points in 43 games this season.

Krug recorded four shots on net, a blocked shot and two PIM in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Capitals.

Krug hasn't scored a goal in 30 straight games, but he's been a solid contributor with 15 assists and 72 shots on net in that stretch. Considering he's skating on the second power-play unit, Krug will likely tally a few goals before the season's over, but it's worth noting that he hasn't hit double digits in that category since the 2017-18 campaign.

Karlsson missed Friday's practice because of an illness, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. He's questionable for Saturday's game against Vegas as a result.

Karlsson has seven goals and 31 points in 42 outings this season. Karlsson's currently riding a seven-game scoring streak in which he's recorded a goal and seven assists. Should Karlsson end up missing the contest, then Ryan Shea might draw into the lineup after being summoned from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday.

Robertson was summoned from AHL Hartford on Friday.

Robertson has two goals, 13 points and 16 PIM in 32 contests with Hartford in 2023-24. There's a chance he'll make his NHL debut Saturday versus LA or Sunday against Anaheim, but he's had previous stints with the Rangers in 2023-24 without drawing into the lineup.
