Shea was called up from AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Wednesday, per Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Shea has no points in four games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season. He hasn't scored a point in 22 contests with Pittsburgh either, but Shea has recorded a minus-2 rating, six PIM, 13 shots, 13 hits and 14 blocks at the top level.

Andersson notched an assist, three shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Coyotes.

Andersson has enjoyed a steady January, contributing two goals and five assists over eight games this month. The defenseman is up to 25 points, 95 shots on net, 105 blocked shots, 33 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 40 appearances. He's right on track with his usual level of production, making him a safe option in fantasy.

Valimaki has been scratched for four straight games after sitting out versus the Flames on Tuesday.

Valiamki was also scratched twice in December amid his eight-game point drought. It's a significant concern that the 25-year-old wasn't able to draw in against his former team Tuesday, even with the Coyotes dressing seven defensemen. Valimaki has just six assists with 35 blocked shots, 25 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 30 appearances.

Moser recorded an assist and blocked three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Flames.

Moser has two helpers, five hits and seven blocked shots over his last four games. He's found a path to power-play time with Juuso Valimaki sitting out as a healthy scratch lately. Moser is at 17 points, 37 shots on net, 64 blocked shots, 36 hits and a plus-8 rating through 40 contests, often filling a top-four role.

Ceci logged an assist and blocked five shots in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Ceci snapped a four-game slump when he assisted on Ryan McLeod's go-ahead goal with 3:05 left in the third period. The five blocks also matched a season high for Ceci, who has stepped in front of 15 shots over the last five contests. Overall, the blueliner has 11 helpers, 44 shots on net, 55 blocks, 24 hits and a plus-8 rating over 40 appearances in a top-four role.

Ekholm notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Ekholm has a helper in three of the last four games. He's run a bit streaky on offense this season, though that's secondary to his capabilities as a shutdown defenseman. The 33-year-old is at 18 points, 88 shots on net, 64 hits, 44 blocked shots, 25 PIM and a plus-13 rating through 39 outings this season, offering well-rounded production for fantasy managers.

Jones and the Blackhawks' game against the Sabres on Wednesday has been postponed to Thursday due to weather-related travel restrictions.

Jones will have to wait until Thursday night for his next opportunity to crack his season-long goal-scoring drought -- the 29-year-old defender has been limited to no goals and 11 assists despite averaging a whopping 25:31 of ice time through 29 appearances this season.

Bouchard scored an empty-net goal, added an assist and logged two hits in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs.

Bouchard set up Leon Draisaitl's second-period tally to get the Oilers on the board before adding the empty-netter late in the third. The 24-year-old Bouchard has scored in consecutive contests, and he has three goals and 10 points over his last nine outings. For the season, he's up to 42 points, one off his career high, while adding 116 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 30 hits, 16 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 40 appearances.

Lindell notched an assist, two shots on goal, four blocked shots, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Lindell has five helpers and a plus-7 rating over his last five games. He's helped to fill some of the void created by Miro Heiskanen's (lower body) absence. Lindell has quietly put together a strong campaign with 18 points, 57 shots on net, 80 blocked shots, 37 hits and a plus-14 rating over 43 appearances. He's on track to top 30 points for just the second time in his nine-year career.

Harley offered an assist, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Kings.

Harley has four helpers over his last six games. He has been steady while Miro Heiskanen (lower body) works his way back, but with Heiskanen nearing a return, Harley's workload will likely soon decrease. For the season, the 22-year-old Harley has 21 points, 67 shots on net, 72 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating, making a solid impression in his first full campaign.
