Compher scored a goal and blocked two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Sharks.

Compher has two goals and two assists during his four-game point streak. The 28-year-old center tallied in the second period Tuesday to create a 2-1 lead for the Red Wings. He's been solid in a top-six role for much of the season, earning 24 points, 42 shots on net, 22 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 33 appearances.

Sanderson registered an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

Sanderson has six helpers over his last eight games, including three on the power play. The 21-year-old blueliner was bumped to the second power-play unit with the return of Thomas Chabot on Sunday. Sanderson's offense may take a slight hit going forward, but he's still in a top-four role at even strength. He's up to 20 points, 60 shots on net, 70 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 33 outings overall.

Chabot posted an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and four blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Canucks.

Chabot has three helpers over two contests since he returned from a leg injury. The defenseman has had trouble staying healthy this season, but he's been useful for fantasy managers with eight assists across 11 outings. He's added 31 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating. Chabot should see top-four minutes and power-play time moving forward, making him a solid option in standard fantasy formats.

Juulsen notched an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Juulsen set up an Ian Cole tally early in the first period. The helper was Juulsen's second of the season -- his only other scoring contribution so far came Opening Night. The defenseman has added a meager 11 shots on net, 62 hits, 39 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 26 appearances. He's held a firm grip on a third-pairing role over Mark Friedman, but Juulsen doesn't have enough offensive upside to help in fantasy.

Zadorov recorded an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Zadorov had a helper in his Canucks debut Dec. 2, but he'd gone 11 games without a point since. He snapped the slump Tuesday, assisting on a J.T. Miller tally in the first period. Zadorov has handled a similar role in Vancouver as the one he had in Calgary to begin the season. He's at eight points, 39 shots on net, 59 hits, 35 blocked shots, 49 PIM and a minus-1 rating through 34 appearances.

Myers recorded an assist, six blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Myers helped out on a Pius Suter tally in the first period. Beyond that, Myers did his job well defensively to help the Canucks to the win. The 33-year-old had just four helpers over 12 games in December, but he added 21 blocks. For the season, he's at 16 points, 67 blocks, 44 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-13 rating across 37 contests.

Hughes notched a power-play assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Hughes stretched his point streak to five games (one goal, six assists). He helped out on Elias Pettersson's second goal of the first period. Hughes is up to 46 points, 94 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-26 rating through 37 outings overall. The 24-year-old continues to lead all defensemen in scoring, though Colorado's Cale Makar is just two points back.

Cole scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Senators.

Cole's first goal of the campaign opened the scoring at 2:14 of the first period, sparking a five-goal frame for the Canucks. The defenseman has three points over his last 10 games, matching his production from the first two months of the campaign. Cole is at six points, 32 shots on net, 36 PIM, 36 hits, 73 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 37 outings in a bottom-four role this season.

Bortuzzo left Tuesday's game versus the Avalanche with a lower-body injury, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Bortuzzo was hit by Samuel Girard in the second period and had trouble getting off the ice, favoring his right leg. Head coach Lane Lambert had no update on Bortuzzo after the contest. With Ryan Pulock (upper body) nearing a return, he may take Bortuzzo's place in the lineup against Arizona on Thursday.

Mayo was reassigned to AHL Henderson on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Mayo was called up as defensive depth with Ben Hutton (upper body) out for the Winter Classic on Monday. Unless the Golden Knights get an injured defenseman back, Mayo might be set to move between levels frequently in the near term.
