Chychrun pocketed two assists with three blocked shots, one hit and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Oilers.

The 27-year-old blueliner extended his point streak to five games with his first multi-point performance since Nov. 5. Chychrun has taken his game to another level in his second season with Washington, and through 20 contests he's delivered four goals and 16 points, putting him on pace to blow past the career-best 47 points he produced in 2024-25.

Carlson racked up three assists with two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 7-4 win over Edmonton.

The three points were a season high for the veteran blueliner, who has been on a tear in November with two goals and 10 points in the last seven games. Carlson has seen his production tail off the last few seasons, but the 35-year-old may be turning back the clock -- with four goals and 17 points in 19 contests, he's on pace to top 70 points for the first time since 2021-22.

Nurse scored two goals on four shots on net while adding two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Capitals.

The Oilers never led in the contest, but Nurse helped keep things close early by ripping a couple first-period shots past Logan Thompson. Nurse snapped a nine-game point drought with the performance, and the last time he got on the scoresheet was Oct. 30, when he also scored two goals against the Rangers. On the season, the veteran blueliner has five tallies and nine points in 22 games with 58 blocked shots, 51 shots on net, 34 hits and a minus-7 rating.

Lindholm logged two power-play assists, two shots on goal and a minus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Ducks.

Lindholm logged his second multi-point effort in the last five games by helping out on both of Morgan Geekie's tallies. The 31-year-old Lindholm is set to be the Bruins' lead defenseman while Charlie McAvoy (face) is out indefinitely following surgery. Lindholm is up to seven points (three on the power play), 19 shots on net, 18 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 14 appearances this season.

Moore scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.

With Radko Gudas back from a lower-body injury, Moore has maintained his place in the lineup over Pavel Mintyukov. The 23-year-old Moore is still filling a third-pairing role, giving him minimal upside in fantasy in what's a mostly defensive assignment. He's at three points, 14 shots on net, 24 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 14 appearances this season.

Gudas scored a goal on two shots, added five PIM, doled out five hits and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Bruins.

Gudas played for the second time since he recovered from a lower-body injury. The 35-year-old defenseman got his first goal of the year, putting the Ducks ahead 2-0 early in the first period. He's at three points, 11 shots on net, 32 hits, 15 blocked shots, seven PIM and a minus-2 rating over nine appearances. Expect Gudas to be steady in the physical categories, though he could struggle to produce offense regularly even with the Ducks' improved scoring numbers this year.

Faber scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Hurricanes.

Faber ended a four-game drought with his tally at 1:54 of the first period. The 23-year-old defenseman has had one good stretch this season sandwiched around a couple of droughts, so it's possible his goal Wednesday allows him to heat up again. He's at four goals, 10 points, 47 shots on net, 41 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 21 appearances in a top-four role.

Fensore was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.

Fensore was with the big club to provide extra defensive depth and did not play in a game during this NHL stint. His demotion could be a sign that Jalen Chatfield (upper body) will be ready to suit up Friday in Winnipeg.

Warren was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Alexander Romanov (upper body) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Warren has two goals and nine points in 10 appearances with Bridgeport this season. He also has two assists in two outings with New York.

Romanov (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Given the force at which Romanov collided with the boards after a hit from behind courtesy of Mikko Rantanen, it would have been quite the surprise to see Romanov avoid missing any time. With the move to IR, the 25-year-old defenseman will be sidelined at least the next three games, though it could certainly be longer.
