Sandin (upper body) won't play against the Rangers on Tuesday.

Sandin will miss at least one game, but he has some time to recover before Saturday's road matchup against New Jersey. He has accounted for two goals, 10 points, 36 shots on net, 55 blocked shots and 45 hits across 31 appearances this season.

Dunn (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus the Kings on Tuesday, Mike Benton of the Kraken Audio Network reports.

Dunn was hurt during Monday's clash with the Ducks and will now be sidelined for the second game of the Kraken's back-to-back. Injuries are starting to pile up for Seattle, as the team will also be without Brandon Montour (hand). With Dunn unavailable, Ryker Evans figures to see a significant uptick in ice time, while Cale Fleury should step into the lineup for the first time since Oct. 23 versus the Jets.

Tanev (upper body) will be in the lineup versus Pittsburgh on Tuesday, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.

With Tanev back in action, Philippe Myers will likely be relegated to a spot in the press box as a healthy scratch while Henry Thrun figures to head back to the minors. Prior to getting hurt, Tanev had recorded two assists, six shots and eight blocks in eight outings. Given his offensive limitations and lack of hits, Tanev is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value at best.

Theodore (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, SinBin Vegas reports.

Vegas recalled Dylan Coghlan from AHL Henderson in a corresponding move. Theodore is week-to-week and will miss his fourth straight game against San Jose on Tuesday. An exact timeline for his recovery is unclear, but he might return before the end of January. Theodore has accounted for four goals, 20 points, 74 shots on net and 48 blocked shots in 31 appearances this season.

Severson notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and four PIM in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Severson has three helpers over the last four games. He's getting a bit better usage than usual to help cover the absence of Zach Werenski (lower body). Severson has earned 12 points (four on the power play), 42 shots on net, 28 hits, 35 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 36 appearances in a top-four role this year.

Myers logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Flyers.

The helper was Myers' first point over 10 outings in December, to go with 16 blocked shots, 10 PIM and eight hits this month. The 35-year-old defenseman continues to see top-four minutes and will likely be leaned on for shutdown usage when partnered with rookie Zeev Buium. Myers has eight points, 37 shots on net, 70 blocks, 43 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 36 contests this season.

Andrae notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

Andrae is warming up with three helpers over his last four games while seeing time on the Flyers' second pairing. The 23-year-old defenseman looks to have a fair amount of job security for now after being a healthy scratch at times earlier in the season. He's up to 10 points, 23 shots on net, 25 hits, 21 blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 25 appearances, which is already career-best production on offense.

Coghlan was recalled from AHL Henderson on Tuesday.

Coghlan has notched five goals and 11 points in 23 minor-league outings this season. He will be an option for Tuesday against San Jose, but he could be a healthy scratch for the contest.

Aspirot (upper body) might be ready to play following the Christmas break, Scott McLaughlin of WEEI reports Tuesday.

Aspirot won't be ready to face the Habs on Tuesday, but it seems he could be in action sooner rather than later. Prior to his five-game stint on the shelf, the 26-year-old blueliner managed just one point in 13 contests, so few fantasy managers figure to be impacted by his potential return.

Bogosian (lower body) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Nashville on Tuesday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Following a four-game absence, Bogosian will join Jake Middleton on the team's third pairing in Tuesday's contest. The 35-year-old Bogosian has one goal, one assist, 15 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 14 hits across 17 appearances this season.
